    Indian Summer Originally uploaded by kayanem Almost too cold to swim. But not quite.

    The warm weather has been so lovely, we even managed to get some more swimming done before winter! As an aside, this was the only photo where Dylan’s expression wasn’t screaming “SHARKS! SHARKS EVERYWHERE! SHARKS BEHIND ME!”, which is why it’s the only one that got uploaded. He does actually love swimming, and was toodling…

  • Let Go

    This post can pretty much be summed up into “I like this post by EmmaBC“. I think this is going to be my mission for the winter. Dylan’s first G6 classes are at the end of October, and I would like to go and focus on pretending we’re back in G3, where it’s all about…

  • Neglecting the Blog

    I haven’t posted in forever, oops! Partly because my External Hard Drive died (after 2 months, I hate you Seagate), so I’ve spent lots of time trying to recover all my photos and so on from all over the internet. Partly because we haven’t really done anything new or interesting! I have a training day…

    Lovely day at Sutton Fields. I love this venue, I am going to continue my pestering of the team and hope we get to go again next May. Two mix teams as we had several dogs on holiday (how inconvenient!), although Dyl’s team was actually the same as usual but with a fifth dog change.…

  • UKA DigItDogs

    Soo, this was our first UKA show. It was tiny. I understand why; UKA is expensive and if you can only do 1 or 2 shows a year, it’s not worth it. Dylan needed the training in the ring aspect so I decided to shell out in the hope it would improve us elsewhere. However,…

  • Vetchecks

    in ,

    Dylan has passed his vet check, so his jumping problem is almost entirely a psychological one. He has some tightness in his back but nothing major, and is probably just from a hard summer of competition. His ground movement is good – as it always has been – and his eyesight is fine. I say…

  • Cannon Hall

    Trip to Cannon Hall was in order. I wanted to go in the Maize Maze, because I’m actually 8, but we didn’t have time. Also, my dogs hate me. Well, maybe not. But looking at their group portrait shots, you would think so. Kim is thinking how she can maybe kill me in my sleep,…

  • Training: Jumping Woes

    —

    in , ,

    Dogwalk was variable. Check box on independent, because it always has been, and I really did push this to extremes this week running all over the place and in every direction. But independent doesn’t mean it’s the same speed every time. Sometimes it is fast, sometimes it is slow, and this does not seem to…

  • British Flyball Championships 2011

    in , , , , , ,

    Summer days. Love the Champs. I don’t care that they’re not whichever competition you* think is better. I appreciate these Championships for what they are, which is a fun, competitive, and noisy tournament full with teams from every corner of the British Isles. Also, nowhere else would you get 200 people willingly dressing up in…
