I Love Fall
Fall and Spring, the two best seasons. Fall may be a little bit my favorite though, as I REALLY like it when Summer finally fades away. We’ve had some just perfect days, October is a magical month. The leaves in the forest are just starting to change, the crisp evenings, the beautiful skies. Makes me … Continue reading I Love Fall →

FCI Championships
There are so many ‘world championships’ these days that the FCI event isn’t quite the exciting highlight that it used to be. Didn’t even hear much about it leading up to this weekend, which is probably for the best, the folks that are doing the livestream have done a poor job in the past, which … Continue reading FCI Championships →

The Grass is Greener in Europe
It’s funny how everything always seems better in Europe. I’m pretty sure it’s not some magic utopia, but sometimes it certainly seems that way. At least in the world of dogs, they seem to have a much more balanced view. They seem to be more responsible owners, are able to keep their dogs intact and … Continue reading The Grass is Greener in Europe →

Healthy
I’m not one to go to the doctor unless I have a medical issue, and I’m the same with the animals. They get their vaccines and neutered, and then it’s just ‘as needed’. I don’t do yearly vaccines or anything that would prompt me to bring them in for no particular reason, so they can … Continue reading Healthy →

Hm, AKC
It’s human nature to have an unhealthy relationship with drama. From politics to dog drama, it’s just so interesting to watch people be so invested and passionate about certain things. The world of dogs is especially entertaining, because it’s just all so fricken arbitrary. I can’t even imagine how much time and effort, broken friendships … Continue reading Hm, AKC →

Back to Normal
Packed up Lulu and the kittens today and brought them back to the shelter. Poor little guys, they looked so shocked. Tomorrow they’re off to be neutered, which is not going to be fun either, but then hopefully on to their new homes. Kittens, of course, should be easy to place – Lulu may take … Continue reading Back to Normal →

USDAA Video!
Very fun little trial, and less apocalyptic today, the wind shifted, the smoke was gone, the rain arrived – Oregon is back! Once again, I ended up running everything I entered. Everything moved along so quickly, just fun times. Dogs didn’t seem tired either, though the last run, Master Challenge Jumpers, Navarre’s head kind of … Continue reading USDAA Video! →

1 Year Anniversary
One nice thing about Facebook is the memory feature, it is fun to see random glimpses into what was happening on this day in past years. Recently Navarre’s first ever trial popped up, well, his AKC debut anyway. I had randomly decided to head out to Utah and decided to throw him in an AKC … Continue reading 1 Year Anniversary →

Confidence Camp
Things have been busy. Well, for me, not so much the dogs. We had yet more 100 degree weather and health hazard smoke from the wildfires, then the dogs tore off their pads. Yeah, not been too exciting to be a dog around here recently. But the good news is I’d like to say we’ve … Continue reading Confidence Camp →

Operation: Chase Me
We’re easing back into agility, and some dogs need more reminders than others. Navarre appears to have forgotten all his wrap vs rear work. That’s okay, we’re starting with low one jump work, and going from there. Our big goal as we get back into it is no more thrown toys, no more frisbee in … Continue reading Operation: Chase Me →

USDAA Drama
Seems like it’s been a while since we’ve had some good agility drama. Or maybe I just notice less. But, man, USDAA does know how to drama. Their latest being doubling their tournament qualification requirements for nationals as well as requiring 10 titling Qs. Which is quite a jump! It has not gone over well, … Continue reading USDAA Drama →

Summer Goes On … and On
So weird to think of Texas drowning while the ‘wet’ PNW sits up here with yet more 100+ degree weather this week. Just devastating to see the pictures from down there, hard to believe. The world has certainly been thrown for a loop lately, scary to think what it might throw next at this point. … Continue reading Summer Goes On … and On →

Eclipse!
Feeling pretty lucky I just happened to live in the path of totality of the solar eclipse. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but having experienced it, I feel incredibly fortunate. And the difference between totality and just a sliver of sun is immense, 99.9 just doesn’t cut it – the total solar eclipse is … Continue reading Eclipse! →

I Could Get Used to This
Oh, clouds and even rain in August – it makes my heart so happy. Then the cooler temps this week, if Summer was more like this I could get behind this season. Of course, in my mind I’m like, “Okay, Summer’s done, on to Fall!” but Summer is unlikely to agree with me. For now … Continue reading I Could Get Used to This →

Kittens!
I had waffled back and forth on the foster kitten plan for this summer, my last experience with raising kittens with the Sunshine kittens was such a hot mess. Still, it’s been long enough that the idea felt interesting again, and the Newberg Animal Shelter was in desperate need of foster homes, so I decided … Continue reading Kittens! →

Kind of Like the End of the World
What a weird week, it’s just sort of like our January, but in reverse. January I ended up cancelling classes and being housebound because of the snow and ice. This week it’s ridiculous heat and horrible air quality. It really feels like some sort of terrible glimpse into the future, very apocalyptic with the smog … Continue reading Kind of Like the End of the World →

August – The Worst Month
Bright is having fierce dreams – she’s kicking someone’s dream ass. There is going to be a lot of dogs laying around the house this week, I don’t even have a frame of reference for 110 degrees. I went ahead and cancelled my classes, as even though they’re in the morning, it’s just too ridiculously … Continue reading August – The Worst Month →

Stumptown
The Stumptown trial ended up going pretty well, I was pleased to see Haku’s performance in Utility was much better on day two. Just a tad short on go-out number one, but nice and all the way on number two. Didn’t then wait for me to actually cue a jump after that sit, but, hey … Continue reading Stumptown →

Happy Birthday Haku!
By a happy coincidence Haku’s 8th birthday also happens to be a special Haku weekend at the obedience trial. Haku enjoys his one-on-one time more than the other dogs, whom he tolerates, but you can tell he’s always thought they were beneath him. I think Fenwick was the only dog he ever really respected. He … Continue reading Happy Birthday Haku! →

Seminar!
I’m not entirely certain, but I don’t think I’ve been to a seminar since the Justine seminar last year. It’s been a busy year. Turned out to be just a lovely weekend with perfect weather, beautiful property, fun people, and lots of fun agility. The dogs did great, Bright was on her best behavior, only … Continue reading Seminar! →
