Category: Adventures!

  • Blogging is kind of lonely. I’ve been writing in this blog since Dylan was 5 months old. I started because of a community called Ruffdogs, which has long since disappeared. I made some friends there that I still have today. They kickstarted this whole thing. I’ve documented Dylan’s entire competitive agility career here, from the…

  • 2015

    I have no idea where this year will take us. I know what I want, and that’s to compete again. We’ve been in training mode for two years, in agility and flyball, focusing on criteria and improving performance in different environments. I would like to push that now, put the training to the test and…

  • Waiting on Winter

    Dylan has been lame. No particular reason for his lameness, he just came up sore one day. Left fore, I think carpal, hence a slow recovery. He is bored. Tough cookies, old man, you rest. I miss having him around. Dylan and I have been embarking on all kinds of adventures this summer. Not super-exciting-jetset…

    The all-new shiny-woofs Those Noisy Dogs blog. I finally got my act in gear and sorted out my hosting. Old hosting = gone, new hosting = currently working.

  • Dylan's Blog – Selby Game Fair

    Dylan had a great time this weekend at Selby Game Fair, where the girls were flyballing with their new teams. It’s a huge fair, and had lots of new experiences for the boy. He behaved beautifully for the most part, and wasn’t at all fazed by the helicopter landing and taking off, or the gunshots,…

  • Dylan's Blog – March

    Not many updates this month – I was busy with Crufts and Kim, obviously for the first part of the month, and then we have been moving clubs over these past few weeks. We’re now training with Leeds Owlers for flyball, and are in the process of looking for a new agility club for Kim.…
