    This is my traditional end-of-year show now, I think! We’ve done it since 2004, it was the first show that Kim properly behaved at and I felt relaxed and we just had fun. The year after, we came 4th in the Starters Agility Challenge, her best ever placing as a Large Dog. The year after…

    I’m in love with this camera, it’s amazing. I am trying to remain objective and thoroughly test drive it this week, but I love it too much already! For those who don’t know, I eventually bought the Pentax K-x, and all of the photos in this post were taken with the kit lens (18-55mm). The…

    Love the Sheffield tournaments, they’re a friendly bunch. Kim and Mollie were both in the same team, and they were storming all day. Mollie’s haircut apparently made a difference, she was particularly crazy! Kim was running anchor and she gets hilariously competitive. You’ve not seen a competitive dog until you’ve seen Kim coming over the…

    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…

    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…
