Nationals!
My first trip to AKC nationals kind of snuck up on me. Seemed like it was so far in the future and we had so much time and then, BAM, there it was and we hadn’t really done anything to prepare for it. Quite frankly I was surprised that Bright didn’t break, or I didn’t … Continue reading Nationals! →

Lori Michaels Seminar
Well, Bright’s last agility hurrah before nationals could have gone better. Well, it could have gone worse too, but she was definitely freestyling. But I guess now I know, if there is any chance it looks even remotely like a backside, Bright will take it as a backside. And that her bypass doesn’t really work. … Continue reading Lori Michaels Seminar →

Skinny Haku
I’m on a quest for a new vet, which is never fun. I like the place in Newberg, I like the vets, and any time I felt I needed to be seen right away they got me in and took care of things. But that’s just it, unless it was emergency getting an appointment was … Continue reading Skinny Haku →

Surfaces Suck
Agility surfaces … man, dirt is not easy. All of the major trialing facilities in our area have settled into this hard packed dirt, which is what happened with the arena as well. It’s just not easy to maintain a surface that is even, not loose, but with enough give to be a good jumping … Continue reading Surfaces Suck →

Puppyless
Took a little roadtrip to Eastern Oregon today to meet up with Aja’s new owner. Aja is now settling in at her new home in Idaho with some new border collie siblings. So far, so good. She seemed to really like her new people and looks really happy with the new dogs. David decided not … Continue reading Puppyless →

MACH Bright!
I think I finally figured out why I really did not want to ‘celebrate’ Bright’s MACH, it just didn’t feel right. It’s not because I’m not proud of her and the journey we took to get there, but it’s such a very private and altogether different journey than the one I took with London. London … Continue reading MACH Bright! →

Getting My Cat Stoned
I just bought Dragon some CBD oil. We’ll see if it does anything at all, I’d love for him to be less weird and jumpy. He isn’t all the time, but often there is no rhyme or reason for it. He does occasionally like to snuggle, but most of the time doesn’t want to be … Continue reading Getting My Cat Stoned →

Valentine’s Love
What a crazy winter we’ve had, from last year being one of the coldest on record to this winter being one of the warmest. If only it could be like this year round! I do like winter, 50 degrees, overcast and drizzle is my kind of weather. No bugs, no heat, the dogs get to … Continue reading Valentine’s Love →

19.5
Well, we came close, but no MACH for Bright – she dropped a bar in jumpers. In some ways it would have been nice to finish it up today, but I still celebrated anyway. So I think that’s going to be our new thing, celebrating non-MACHs. I can get a lot of those. Our next … Continue reading 19.5 →

19
A long day at the AKC trial today, ran at 8am and 5pm. Those small to tall days are brutal if you want to do Premier in the morning. My current plan is once Bright finishes her MACH to just enter Premier in the morning and go home! I do find it funny that after … Continue reading 19 →

Navarre’s Best Day
2018 is going to be the Year of Navarre. Well, in a way. I do think he’s finally physically and mentally maturing and we can actually DO THINGS now. Or start to work on doing things. Have plans to work on things anyway. And obviously agility is number one on our list, because it’s my … Continue reading Navarre’s Best Day →

Recovery
Wow, Aja is growing up by leaps and bounds, it’s crazy how she can change over the course of a week both physically and mentally. You can really see the wheels turning in her head these days, she’s a little too smart for her own good. She definitely weighs her options, and she’ll actually just … Continue reading Recovery →

Bring on the Sheeps
Aja might be at a crossroads, changing her highest preference from food to toys and motion. Which is pretty normal in a border collie, but I haven’t actually experienced it, so it’s a little jarring to see Aja choose toys and action over food. So much for the easy food motivated puppy days. Or maybe … Continue reading Bring on the Sheeps →

Puppy and Kitten Update
Apparently dog spit is magical. Marvin’s inflamed eyeball was just horrible looking that night, with discharge caking up half his face. We had our appointment for the next morning and were settling in to go to bed – and Navarre just holds the kitten down and cleans the heck out of his face. And I … Continue reading Puppy and Kitten Update →

USDAA Wrap Up
OMG, more cat health drama! Marvin’s gooey eye has progressed to a swollen red mess – we’re off the vet tomorrow. He’s just the saddest looking thing at the moment, I really hate to see my cats all fucked up. Dragon is retching, Fizban still doesn’t have his voice back – things certainly went downhill … Continue reading USDAA Wrap Up →

60 Degrees!
What a crazy day, sitting outside in the sun in my t-shirt, as it was TOO WARM to wear my fleece … in the middle of January. It was a lovely day, but very, very strange. No complaints to have a nice dry day for the USDAA tournament trial up at Daisy’s today. Compared to … Continue reading 60 Degrees! →

Poor Sick Kitties
I gotta give Dragon credit, he’s really been super cute with the kitten. And I finally solved a mystery the other day, how cat litter kept getting into the dog water bowl. It’s Dragon, he actually plays in the water, like splashing around! Who would have guessed? Dragon has a secret life, apparently. He’s also … Continue reading Poor Sick Kitties →

12ish Weeks
Okay, I’m so done making baby animal videos. I give mad props to those folks always making these elaborate and highly entertaining videos. I find the whole process to be tedious and not at all fun or even worthwhile. With photography I enjoy the whole process, but videoing – ugh. I swear I don’t know … Continue reading 12ish Weeks →

Happy New Year
Gah, puppies, kittens – it’s madness at my house at the moment. Of course, Aja just wants to chase Marvin, so I can’t really have that cuteness together unless I’m holding Aja. But that’s okay, it would probably be TOO cute if they ended up playing together anyway. Marvin has rapidly made himself at home, … Continue reading Happy New Year →

Meet Marvin
OMG, my new kitten is insanely awesome! Exactly what I was hoping for, and what I’ve been missing. When a cat just naturally craves and enjoys snuggling it’s such a different feel than cuddling with a cat that happens to be in the mood. He just LIKES me, and purrs and snuggles and carries on … Continue reading Meet Marvin →
