• Labor Day Agility Trial

  Here we go again! Seems like we’ve just unpacked from the last trip and we’re packing it all back up to head out again. This time we’re headed to Linleigh Farms in Sandy, UT. There is a three day agility trial and Zoe is entered. Rogue is going along for the ride and for a private lesson this afternoon. I hope that when we get back on Monday we’ll be posting about Zoe earning her last double Q for that [...]

  Seems like lately I’ve been getting a lot of tongues in my pictures of the dogs. They’re not exactly the shots that I was going for, but sometimes…they’re pretty funny! Enjoy!

• Payday for Penny

  Well, you might remember a few months back that Penny got the chance to go try out for the Mighty Dog commercial. Apparently they didn’t choose to use the footage of Penny. What were they thinking? LOL Oh well. On the bright side, they did use another friend of ours who is a rescue dog as well. Her name is Sadie. So yay for Sadie! At any rate, even though they didn’t end up using Penny for this product, they [...]

• August Training Challenge Update #4

  Here is another belated update on our training challenge. I have one when I only had Rogue with me, and then another when I had Rogue, Twist and Raven along. Last Thursday I got a call from the volunteer in charge of adoptions with our local all breed rescue. She needed someone to come to her house and meet a family that were finalizing an adoption of a Golden Retriever/Lab puppy. I figured that while I was there I would [...]

• August Training Challenge Update #3

    Well, we’re about 3/4 of the way through the month already. Time flies! Last week seemed short for training because I left on Thurs. to go to the Obedience trial in Idaho Falls and I wasn’t home till Mon. night. The good thing is that while we were up there I had a chance to work with both Twist and Rogue in new places. While we were in Idaho Falls we walked the dogs in the evenings along this [...]

• Dogs Playing at Clear Creek

  This was our first trip back up to Clear Creek without Jessie. Sure did bring back lots of memories for me. My husband and I had hoped to be able to let the dogs walk on the ATV trails, but…there were two trailers full of ATV’s on the trails. So, we changed plans a bit and just decided to let the dogs play in the water. They didn’t complain a bit! LOL Here’s a few pictures. You can see the [...]

• Shelties and Sunflowers

  I finally got my camera back from being repaired. Yippee! It came just in time to get some pictures of the Shelties and the gorgeous sunflowers that are blooming right now. Enjoy!

• A Triumph and a Continuing Trial

  Twist’s weekend at the Obedience trial in Idaho Falls definitely qualifies as a huge triumph for us. It probably sounds corny, but it seems like yesterday that he was entered in Rally Obedience for the first time. What a complete disaster! LOL If anyone had told me then, that Twist would be doing so well now, I would have told them that they were crazy. But here we are, we didn’t give up and he’s doing great! It is so [...]

  This is a picture from last September when we went to Camp W at Lake Tahoe. I can’t believe it’s been a year already!

• Back From Obedience Trial

  We got back home from our trip to Idaho last night. It was so much fun! We camped with our friend Cynthia and her three dogs, Levi, Chase and Tatum. Idaho Falls was really pretty, and RV park where we stayed was very dog friendly. The park where the trial was held had tons of trees so shade was easy to find. There was a great walking path along the Snake River that we took the dogs on twice and [...]
