• On the Road…Again

  So, this weekend is Twist’s obedience trial. He’s entered on Friday and Saturday. We’ll be back up in Farmington again. Seems like we’ve spent more time in the Salt Lake area than we have at home the last little while. Fortunately, the dogs don’t mind traveling and for the most part neither do I. One of the only things that I don’t like about traveling is trying to eat well. Last year a friend of mine convinced me to try [...]

• Things That Didn’t Go According to the Plan

  Well, here is Zoe’s sassy run from the DOCNA trial. It’s not pretty, I warn you. LOL But, I think it’s fair to say that it’s an even mixture of poor handling and sass. I don’t know how many of you have seen the movie “Up” but my husband says that you wouldn’t want Zoe to have one of the collars that the dogs on that movie had that translated what they were thinking into English when we have a [...]

• Weekend Update

  So, the DOCNA trial on Saturday was great. Zoe started off the day with Jumpers, her favorite. She had a beautiful run. Unfortunately, our video camera wasn’t cooperating and so a friend has the runs on her camera, so I can’t post anything yet. Her Beginner’s Gambler course was next. Again, beautiful. Then Standard, or regular or whatever they call it. LOL It was a train wreck. I ticked Zoe off at the start of the course, giving her a [...]

• Now What?

  This post is more to help me sort out what I need to get done today than anything. I need to bathe both Zoe and Dare this morning. Dremel nails too. I have to boarders being dropped off this morning. Then I need to go back up to my friend’s house and finish helping her clean in preparation for everyone coming in over the weekend to pick up their puppies. I hadn’t planned on a second trip up there, but [...]

• Stacy Day

  So, Layla and I had a great day at the Stacy Peadot-Goudy workshop today. We left this morning at 5:30 and it was snowing, again. About 20 miles away from home we got on a road that no one else had driven on yet, including the plows and even though there wasn’t much snow, my little Honda Fit just doesn’t do well. I drove about 40 mph from there on for about the next hour. Needless to say, I would [...]

• 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 [...]

• Weddings, Work and Winter

  I had every intention of posting before now, but I’m not really sure where this week has gone. I do know that as far as the update about the work portion of this post goes, I don’t have a whole lot of news. My husband waited all day yesterday for the possible call back for the second interview for the job he interviewed for on Friday. No calls I have mixed emotions about the other interview he did on Monday. [...]

• More of the Same Craziness

  I’m sure you’re all sick of hearing my crazy ramblings that have nothing to do with the dogs. I’m pretty sick of it myself, but I can’t seem to get away from the spinning in my head lately. It’s definitely a habit that I’d like to get rid of. It’s not so bad that I like to sort through things from every possible angle and then I want to come to a decision. The part of the habit I’d like [...]
