On Puppies
Thankfully I’m on a bit of a puppy vacation tonight, Aja is off on a sleepover. I’ve been sick this week and puppies + sickness is not a good equation – nice to be able to actually rest for a bit. There has been way more unsupervised puppy action than there should have been this … Continue reading On Puppies →

Aja 10 Weeks
Surprisingly, Bright is being super gentle and understanding with the puppy. Not that she can’t do her bitch routine, but she actually follows the puppy around and invites her to play, rolls over and lets the puppy maul her and is basically being super sweet and motherly. Go figure. It’s actually been surprising all around … Continue reading Aja 10 Weeks →

My Kitten is Coming!
I didn’t really plan it this way, but 2018 will be all about adorable baby animals. I’ll be bringing home my new kitten after Christmas. I don’t really want three cats, but on the other hand, I don’t want to wait 20 years without a lap cat. Fizzy can be a cuddly guy, on his … Continue reading My Kitten is Coming! →

It’s On
The switch has flipped, Aja has officially figured out the training game and that offering behavior makes the game go. She’s very demanding! We’ve mostly been looking at tricks that start with a lure: hand touch, spin, down, wave. Today we shaped ‘back up’ and it was so cool to see her have that lightbulb … Continue reading It’s On →

One Week
Aja has been here for a little over a week now, though it seems MUCH longer. Puppies are so much work at this age! But she’s finally settling in, and puppies are also so much fun at this age, I must admit. We have mostly solved the screaming issue and that makes everyone much happier. … Continue reading One Week →

Hello, Aja!
Temporary puppy arrived on Tuesday afternoon, she seemed to have taken the flight well and immediately attached herself to my feet. There she has remained, but I don’t think it will last long – Aja has OPINIONS. She’s quite the saucy little puppy, which is not apparent when people first meet her – she acts … Continue reading Hello, Aja! →

All Agilitied Out
Certainly a very successful weekend for the Brightness, she ended up going 7 for 8. The NQ was pretty silly, on a straight-line go-on she suddenly veers into me and spontaneously threadles instead of taking the jump in front of her. Can’t complain though, she did fabulous and had a great time, she just loves … Continue reading All Agilitied Out →

Mission Accomplished
Bright finished up her national requirements in style down in Eugene today, she went 4 for 4 again. That more than covers her point requirement so we are officially nationals bound in March. She also got double Q #17, so she may finally get her MACH one of these days. Bright getting a MACH is … Continue reading Mission Accomplished →

Nationals Bound (probably)
Operation Qualify Bright for Nationals has gone surprisingly well this weekend, Bright ended up going 7 for 8. We now have our double Qs and ended up with around 168 points over the weekend, leaving us with just 32 points left to pick up and three trial days next weekend to do it. I’d like … Continue reading Nationals Bound (probably) →

The Tables Have Turned
Day one of Operation Qualify for Nationals with Bright went pretty well. She ended up going 3 out of 4, and if she had to miss one, Premier Standard would have been my choice anyway. We have a lot of premier standard legs, as that is usually in the morning, and then I just never … Continue reading The Tables Have Turned →

Improvement
Happy to report that after Haku was able to start doing more running again his use of his back leg is dramatically better. He can still be three legged in the house, but not all the time and when he’s in motion he’s using it so much more. Fingers crossed that he will make a … Continue reading Improvement →

Puppies and Haku
Haku’s incision looks great, he’s feeling good, he’s back on his normal food and he’s bored as hell. So now we have a problem, I have a three legged dog that sucks at being ‘just a pet’. He gets nutty and OCD and he NEEDS to have something to keep him normal. Assuming they just … Continue reading Puppies and Haku →

1 Year in Hubbard
Crazy to think it’s been a year since I moved out here. In some ways it’s been a very long year, in others not so much. Mostly just been putting one foot in front the other, doing what needs to be done and trying not to think about things too much. The divorce should be … Continue reading 1 Year in Hubbard →

Haku’s Surgery
We had quite the week around here, Haku spent most of the week at the vet, ending up with exploratory surgery for a stomach obstruction. Turns out he had eaten a cat toy, a small real fur covered square. I’m blaming Dragon, as he likes to take the cat toys out of the cat room … Continue reading Haku’s Surgery →

Spirited Away
Wow, yeah, Haku has never had a worse obedience trial. I do think there were a lot of factors that played a part. I have had a lot going on recently, we have not been practicing at all and I was not mentally focused myself. I also think the lack of practicing whole routines played … Continue reading Spirited Away →

Nationals and Obedience
Haku’s first run in Utility this morning went about how I assumed it would. Well, maybe it was a bit worse. On our glove retrieve he didn’t even go to correct side of the ring, much less get the correct glove. And it was the ‘easiest’ glove for him, #1. And he auto-finished almost everything, … Continue reading Nationals and Obedience →

Extreme Oregon
So just like three weeks ago it was still 90 degrees, and then this weekend we have pouring down sideways rain stripping all the pretty Fall leaves from the trees. What the heck happened to Spring and Fall? We didn’t get either this year, and they’re my favorite seasons – and usually go on FOREVER. … Continue reading Extreme Oregon →

2017 Northwest Cup
OMG, USDAA can’t possibly squeeze any more classes into a day. They now have Intro and the Misc classes, which was an un-numbered standard course people could ‘train in the ring’ with a toy and a tunnelers course. Now, the tunnelers was fun and Haku got to play, but there are already so many classes … Continue reading 2017 Northwest Cup →

Living the PyrShep Lifestyle
Pixel is staying with us for a couple weeks, which I figured would be super easy, and it has been. She’s a good girl, very quiet and well behaved. Once again, perhaps a little too much so! She stayed with us for a couple days a while back and it kind of freaked me out … Continue reading Living the PyrShep Lifestyle →

Heather is a Dork
Oh, I was not a great handler today, but we all had fun though, so it’s all good. Bright and I had a great Premier Standard course, I liked the course, it was really fun … and I just totally forgot a jump at the end. Whoops. Still, in my mind it was a perfectly … Continue reading Heather is a Dork →
