It’s been a while since I posted - I had been trying to find the time (and, if I’m being honest here, the inclination) to bath young Spryte up proper, give her the full grooming treatment so that I can get some recent (13 month old!) photos to go along with the brag of saying …

ACWA Trials…Saturday July 14th
Yesterday was our club's Double Agility and Jumping trials held at Canine grounds.Some hard luck stories for Raven, a couple of successes for Cypher and some achievements with my 'borrowed' dogs.Raven was again feeling rather good and had a bar down in Masters Agility combined with a rather speccy seesaw fly off and in the …
Trial-free Weekends
So no trials for the last two weekends in a row. I feel quite strange...and so not physical in any way...think I better do some serious running this week at training or else I am going to be completely exhausted after one run next trial! Raven is again of the "no news is good news" …

First Day Trial 2007
Cloverdale Canine Companions held the first day trial for the year today and I think my brain overheated with the hot weather and the humidity! Sadly we only had one Q out of 10 runs and I managed one other Q with one of the other dog’s I ran. I also learnt a lesson about …
