Last post of the year. Not a good one. Histology report came back today on Savvy's mammary mass surgery, she had it removed Christmas Eve. To sum up terms like "highest grade", "malignant" and "aggressive" were used and the margins were not clear. For now we wait till her surgical site is fully recovered and …
R is for Revamping and Reflecting
I finally decided to condense my blog posts so far into one website here at this domain: spryteleeagilitytraining.com - this has resulted in a bit of a revamp to the look and theme of this page. I've imported all my sherunswithdogs posts and that domain will be left to run out and not be renewed …
Q is for Questioning Your Choices
This past weekend of our State Agility titles here in WA has brought home to me like no other just how emotionally invested I am in the dogs I share in this game with and with the game itself…experiencing the fantastic highs and the absolutely devastating lows. Saturday after 5 weeks off and with …
P is for Preventive Pro Activism
Aka Looking after Cypher Cypher turned 13 years old recently. He is officially the oldest Border Collie I have ever owned.

I love taking photos of my favourite dogs, actors, landscapes, food, toys, books and random moments during travelling times. Here's a few I took at a recent convention held for Supernatural in Australia. Jensen Ackles aka Dean Winchester Tim Omundson …
O is for Odious Behaviour
A thirteen year old girl who I had met for all of three hours decided it was okay to walk up to my desk and swipe my phone whilst I was busy helping other students at the end of session 4 last Monday, just before lunch break. A phone that I use as teaching tool. …
Meet The One and Only
We are fortunate to have one special little boy from our mating between Edge and Spryte. He arrived into the world fully grown on Tuesday February 11th. Turns out this was Spryte's due date (from the rough idea of when she ovulated) as opposed to the one I'd worked off from the Ultrasound. A blue …
N is for New Acquaintances
It's been one week now on my sugar free lifestyle change and I've noticed some things. When I get hungry and I make something to eat I usually can't eat all of it. When I get hungry I am usually VERY hungry so I tend to make the usual amount of food or dish my …
Puppy Interests :)
Some people have been enquiring about the Spryte and Edge puppies and I thought it prudent to give a little bit of background information about the types of homes we're looking for. This litter of puppies is likely to be high drive and as a result the puppies will likely only be available to performance …
