Busy, Busy Week

It’s going to be a busy, busy week. Tomorrow I need to dremel nails, brush dogs and make treats for Wednesday!!! Wednesday I am going to Salt Lake for an agility day with Stacy Peardot-Goudy. I’m really excited, but also nervous. Everyone that has been to these mini workshops just raves about how great they are. Then I have to get back home and Thurs. I have a cleaning job, Friday I have to bathe dogs and pack to leave again for the DOCNA trial on Sat. back up in Farmington. It looks like I’ll be racking up the miles on the car this week.

I’ve spent the last few days printing up some things for a some friends of mine. Not on an epson tm-t88iv, or anything, just on my regular printer. It was one of those projects that seemed like a good idea at the time, but once you get started you realize that you’ve taken on something much bigger than you expected. At least I’m pretty much done now, and I hope they like it. :-)

Layla and I got out in the yard today and I finally got the video camera out too. So, here is a really quick video clip of her working on the next step of the Jump Around the Clock drill. It’s called, “run by” if I remember right. The idea is to run with the dog, (no stay or wait required) which should encourage an extended jump style. You do the same thing you did on the previous drills, working the jump from different numbers on the face of the clock. Here is the video. It’s nothing great, but you get the idea.

Anyway, I’ll try to update throughout the week as I have time. If you want to check out what Dare is working on, here’s her latest trick video.

  1. Gosh, you are busy! Good luck with the seminar – we’ve never done a seminar with anyone but think it would be fun and a great opportunity. Also good luck at the trial!

    I enjoyed Layla’s jump video – it always helps us to see the exercises being done so we know how to do them!

  2. Nice! I like the jump video too. Katie’s dad promises to build Katie a jump so this summer (if our snow ever melts!) we can jump in the back yard. I also LOVE Dare’s tissue trick! I don’t think Katie would get that one. She loves to shred any found tissue into tiny little squares. But we could try!

  3. Diana,

    It was a little warmer that day. I think I might have been pushing it a bit to just be fleece, but I was excited that the sun had peeked out a bit.

    Ricky and Dawn,

    Glad you’re still enjoying the jump work. I hope Katie’s dad gets her jump made, I love seeing pictures of her jumping. She always looks so happy.
