    For the first time at a competition, I had my crazy little man with me! Combined 3-5 Agility was a lovely course, challenging enough but flowed really nicely. I was a bit worried about Dylan because he’s only ever done one show at Myerscough before, when he found the whole atmosphere very stressful. This weekend…

  • Lazy November

    Dylan and I had a really lazy training session this week, which was a very bad of me considering we have Wilmslow this weekend, which is our first competition in 6 weeks and we probably should have done some more serious training. I had intended to be good and work on wing wraps and proofing…

  • Mud Mud Mud

    I may have mentioned this last year, but Dylan cannot run in mud. I find this both frustrating and kind of funny, I have to admit. He feels so slow, because he really isn’t going anywhere when his legs move, which is incredibly frustrating for both of us. On the other hand, he is clearly…

    The dogs had a blast this weekend on the moors. We have to walk past the derelict mill first though, the graveyard of dead footballs. We found four this weekend. It is rough under those paws, but the broken glass and dangerous spots are confined to the far corners, so the dogs can play. The…

    Dylan has a super cute quirk of resting his head on things. His head is the perfect height for resting on people’s laps, so he does that all the time, and looks up at you with big sad puppy eyes. This usually means he wants a cuddle. However, he also rests his head on other…

    Dylan ran fantastically at flyball training this past week. He was thoroughly enjoying himself, performing beautiful box turns and getting excited on the line. (Dylan doesn’t get excited like the girls do, he just huffs quietly and dances a bit). Someone commented on how well he was doing, and I said something to do with…

    Fireworks season is hitting it’s stride! We were pretty lucky over the weekend and didn’t get too many, but they started tonight when we were on our evening walk. Kim hit the deck and then set off sprinting for home. She used hone in on whoever was closest and try and hide under their feet,…

    Stocksbridge on Saturday, and it seems like such a long time since we lasted visited this tournament. I suppose it is a long time, actually. Stocksbridge is always the tournament that marks the start of the winter season, because it’s cold and you arrive and leave in the dark. I’m perhaps a bit weird, and…

  • Rotherham Flyball

    Days like this remind me why I do flyball. I was pretty excited about Dylan’s team anyway, they’re a fab fast bunch of dogs who were on a very comfortable seed time, and both Dylan and Skye love running over 12″. Perfect conditions! Anyway, the last race against Marnicks was down to the wire stuff,…

  • Agility Training

    Dylan was a good boy at training this week. I sometimes feel like we’re working on things and we’re making very little progress, but then sometimes it’s like everything clicks and it all makes sense and works. That’s always a good day! He did a beautiful steady-up for a wing wrap, and then nailed a…
