Sometimes the world is just shit. A little shout out to a fine film by the name of Pay It Forward (go watch it if you haven’t) but also a pretty good summation of my reaction after getting off the phone to Ken Wyatt (Raven’s Oncologist) Thursday afternoon. As my gut instinct told me, Raven’s …

Of Updates and Heatwaves
Righto. Time for a blog update. Yes real life obviously did not stay this side of normal and I am a few days overdue. Lots of news to report it’s kind of daunting to think where I should start! The Western Classic perhaps? Well we had some rather spiffy courses to run and we had …
2008 – Better than 2007 surely!

Happy 15 months old!

Spryte News and Trialling Days
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 …
Sheepdogging fun
Spryte got to play with the sheep again today and demonstrate whether she had an instinct to herd sheep. I decided to enter her in the Herding Instinct Test (HIT) on the day and so we travelled down Mandurah way to check it out. All the herding trials were first – which involved both sheep …
