  • Maundy Thursday … More Snow

    —

    in , ,

    The snow has stayed just long enough for some more photos. I think by tomorrow, or Saturday at the latest, it will be all gone again. The sun is out and the temperatures are on the rise. Kim is always happy to be in the snow, so much so that she will play race-chase games…

  • April Snow

    We got snow! A little worrying as I’m camping this weekend at Hare’n’Hounds but I’ve been reassured that there is no snow up in York. I’m pleased Rio got to play in some wintery weather whilst she is still a pup, puppies in the snow is adorable. Still, a huge contrast from last week where…

    Very productive flyball training session today. Although we were working the dogs in each team together, we mainly worked on individual stuff. Dylan did some jump-box-6 jumps back. Which is exhausting for me but really gives him a workout! It also encourages him to chase me back; he has always come back off the box…

    Kimmy, you are so happy and smiley! How can you possibly hate this adorable little munchkin of a puppy? Look how cute she is! Oh, I see.

  • Drax & a Mollie Update

    Mollie is much better. We still aren’t sure what is wrong but she’s has been to the vet, got herself some shots and some medication, and she’s improving dramatically. Still on lead walks due to the injury, but so much more herself. Just Dylan and Rio went to Drax, and I took Bailey as well.…

  • Remembering to Breathe

    Today’s walk did not start out well. I took Dylan, Kim and Rio and stocked up on 1000 treats to reward Rio’s recall. We walked for 20minutes and Rio was appalling, barely recalling 50% of the time and haring off waaay out of sight. Cue stressed, tense owner. And then I realised what an idiot…

  • Round and Round

    Mollie’s injury is a multiple-options kind of injury, so we’re in a wait-and-see situation right now. She has a thumbnail-sized lump in her quad, which could be a) a bruise from running into something like a stick, b) scar tissue from an old injury which has been tweaked and inflammed, or c) a lump. We’re…

  • Rio 6 Months

    —

    in ,

    Still can’t believe the little horror is 6 months old. I also sometimes can’t believe how smitten I am with her! Even when she’s screeching in her crate for whatever reason. (And oh, there are many reasons). I had a rough check list of things that my perfect puppy would be; outgoing and driven and…

  • Rio's First Class

    —

    in , ,

    Rio attended her first Foundation Agility Skills class yesterday! She has been through a puppy-tunnel a few times, but has never seen the proper heavy duty pipe tunnel. She thought it was pretty easy though! We did a few recalls through a straight tunnel with lots of tugging, and then did some tunnel, wrap around…

  • Hare'n'Hounds Valentines 2012

    No videos as I forgot the camera, oops. We ran on rubber contacts for the first time too; Dylan and Bailey couldn’t care less, it didn’t appear to make any difference to their contact performance. Also weirdly quiet to run on! I was surprised to see rubber contacts though, I didn’t remember seeing it on…
