Digley
We had a lovely walk around Digley Resevoir on Sunday, couldn’t believe it was March, I was walking in my t-shirt! [singlepic id=69 w=320 h=240 float=center] The dogs ambled (and sprinted, and swum!) their way around, they’ve been so many times they know the path just as well as me. This is another resevoir my…

Paws and Toes
I posted on twitter a couple of days ago about Kim trotting – or limping, actually! – off to the vets. I didn’t have chance to post a proper update, but since people have asked, here we go! Kim has always had a slightly dodgy toe on her right front paw. I’ve had a few…

Doncaster Flyball
This tournament was a bit of a upside/downside; our dogs all ran really well, but it was almost embarrassing how unfit they are! Kim and Mollie’s team went from running 20.86 in their third leg race (um, seeded on 21.60, sorry about that Division 6!) to barely getting under 22s in their afternoon races. Same…

Clicker Day
It feels like this week has just flown by. I’ve been out every evening from Monday to Thursday, at work all day, and pre-occupied making decisions about other people’s dogs. I’ve been neglecting the dogs I do have, and I felt very guilty about it, so we had a fun hour playing some clicker games…

The All-New Singing-Dancing Matting: Was good. It’s like yoga matting, kind of. Very grippy, no slipping, very nice. My only complaint was that I’m not sure it works all that well on sand/equestrian surface. It was very “dead”; there was plenty of give but there was very little bounce back. It didn’t seem to affect…
