    5 Months

    Rio has definitely got a case of the puppy fuglies this week, she’s all legs, long body, no neck/chest, tiny head. And the ears are all over the place. Thankfully I did get one photo of her looking pretty! She’s…

    Tailwaggers February

    This was 300x better than Hare’n’Hounds last week. Novice Plus Tunnel Troubles was a straightforward course, but I’d already decided to train Dylan’s run. We played tuggy a few times and he seemed to enjoy himself, his jumping was miles…

    Flyball Training

    First of the new year, finally! It was good to be back. Not that I had a dog to run; too cold for Kim’s old bones and as Dylan has 3 weeks of agility competitions in a row I didn’t…

    Fetch

    I want some snow, we have a lovely covering of heavy frost this morning and it really makes me want some proper winter weather. Rio and I have been working on her bringing toys to me this week. She’s very…

    21 Weeks

    I have been trying to get Rio to some busier places this week, hence our park trips and village walks. It’s a bit difficult as due to our walking locations, social night-time walks feel too uncomfortably unsafe (even if they’re…

    Trips to the Park

    We’ve been venturing further afield this week down to the big Meltham Hall park. Apparently it’s not called that any more, but whatever, it is. This means 15mins of on-lead road walking to get there and back, which is definitely…
