Well, 27 runs just wasn’t enough for us, so we added one more last minute. Just kidding about 27 not being enough. But we really did add another North American Challenge class on Sunday for Raven, so we did end up running 28 times this weekend. Here’s the breakdown. Zoe ran 12 runs. She Q’d [...]

Another Good Day
We are having a good time this weekend. It’s a lot of fun to be running all three girls, though at times my brain feels like it’s mush. Tomorrow only Raven and Zoe are entered and there are only 3 runs a piece, so we should be fine. Today started off with Jumpers. Zoe’s favorite. [...]

So Far So Good
The trial is going well. It’s pretty small, I think the judge said 150 runs for the whole day. Of course, I’ve never been to a small trial that ended early and this was no exception. We finished up around 5. Zoe managed to qualify in Gamblers, Snakes N’ Ladders, Jumpers, and NAC. NAC she [...]

Go When Ready…
I’m not sure if I’m ready…but we’re in Salt Lake tonight. This morning started out weird. I stood up from the chair in the office and my knee went out. It felt like when I hyper-extended my knee when I was a kid doing gymnastics, except I didn’t do anything but stand up. Great timing, [...]

27 Runs?
So, as you know, I haven’t done an agility trial yet this year. In fact I haven’t done an agility trial for something like 7 months. I don’t think I’ve gone for that long without doing a trial since Zoe and I first got started. A lot of days I feel so out of the [...]

Weekly Weather Report
I promise I will have something else to write about besides the weather next time, although the weather is affecting the trial that I’m headed to this weekend too. It was supposed to be held outdoors on grass, but they are expecting possible flooding, so they’ve moved us indoors. Anyway, we’ve been walking different roads [...]

Enough Already
Will this bizarre weather never end? I’ve had it! Today is another cold wet day, with even a bit of slushy snow mixed in with the rain. Two of the three roads I routinely take out of town are closed because of the flooding. Until this week, I’ve been crossing the flooded road that where [...]

Raven and Twist Rally
So I finally got the Rally videos uploaded from the Sheltie Specialty. I certainly didn’t break any records getting these up. So, in way of explanation of the pretty self-explanatory videos… This was Raven’s first time in Rally Advanced B. I thought she did really well. I on the other hand, need help reading the [...]

It’s Not What it Looks Like
I know what you must be thinking. Marie lost her mind and robbed a pet store. Nope! These are the amazing prizes that Twist and Raven won yesterday at the Utah Sheltie Specialty. Isn’t that awesome? I literally had to rearrange things in my car with the dog crates to get it all home. LOL [...]

Twist’s New Leashrack
I’m too tired to post everything about the Specialty tonight, but Twist sure had a good time, and so did I. We came home with a car load of fun prizes, and that is absolutely no exaggeration. I really did have to rearrange things in the car to fit it all in. LOL I’ll try [...]
