Sometimes…
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 …

Happy 15 months old!
To the Spryte! She is fifteen months old today. What did she spend the day doing? Coming to a trial of course. Where any self respecting Border Collie in training for an illustrious career in the best sport in the world would find herself. Heh. Here's a pic of her doing the weaves at Rockingham …
