Stacy Peardot in Perth DAY ONE
This two day seminar (Sat Aug 5th and Sun Aug 6th) was well worth the monetary and time investment. I was curious after seeing and working with Stacy nearly 2 and a half years ago now to know what she would present to us this time. It was a very useful and rich mix of …
BAD HANDLER!!!!
Ok I will be kicking myself up and down the training field for the next 2 weeks at least! Raven was superb today she did not put a foot wrong she went exactly everywhere I told her to!!! She kept every single bar up in FOUR runs and was as responsive and as focussed as …
My Faith in Humanity
Yes, again with the "Scrubs" reference - I was browsing looking for Scrubs sites when I can across this little gem - http://www.christiananswers.net/spotlight/tv/2002/scrubs.htmlFor all you poor lost souls out there who haven't a clue about whether or not "Scrubs" is suitable for viewing you can go there and read the rating (Caution, Usually Ok, Avoid). …
My Philosophy
See from that blog heading up there you might be assuming that I am now going to get all whimsical on this post and impart my self-indulgent observations on all my avid readers (yes all two of you - I know who you are *insert knowing smile here*). 'Fraid not - the heading is actually …
Weekend trials and tribulations Part 2
Well after posting a couple of pictures below I guess I should elaborate on the weekend that *wasn't*. Long story short - Raven: 12 runs and 1 Clear (and no a First place does not make up for it!) Cypher: 10 runs and 4 clears (a 2nd and a 4th and 6th and something else). …
It’s the Little things in Life…
This weekend was an interesting one to say the least - the life of an agility competitor is seldom dull and often a bit like taking a chance on a new ride at the Royal Show. I cherish the anticipation (you can tell I'm feeling whimsical and...what is that word, it's like 'philosophical' but not …
Weekend Trials and Tribulations
Above are two photos of some rare moments from this weekend's runs. Raven clearing a bar and waiting on the seesaw. Let's see....12 runs for Raven this weekend and ONE clean run. Ok so that one clean run was a first place but seriously it does not make up for the rest of my pain …
Cloverdale Trial
Today was our first trial for at least four weeks – it feels like it’s been months since the last one!! When it was in fact the Nationals in Sydney. Today we had a mixed bag of results. We were at Cloverdale Canine Companions club trial. Raven and I just couldn’t get in sync with …
Addy – The Australian Sea Lion
I went to AQWA yesterday (Perth's only underground Aquarium housing many different species from the sea). At 1.30 there was a "Seal Show". AQWA has had some dramas in the past with keeping animals in activity - there was a mystery illness that killed a number of dolphins and there are other issues I believe …
