EMDAC
Remind me next time to wear at least 600 layers of clothing. It was -2 all day, and the fog never lifted. Kim Kim’s first Novice Plus classes! I knew we weren’t going to get anything as N+ is combined Novice, Graduate & Masters (like Combined 4-7 classes, basically) and there were some really good…

Naughty Girls
Whilst I was at agility training yesterday Kim and Mollie had another fight. Not as serious as the last one, thankfully. Kim has a very small bite mark on her ear and is behaving as though her ears has been ripped off and shredded by that evil, evil, black dog who just attacked her for…

Kimba Training
Kim was flying last night, we had a lot of fun and some very nice runs. She always works better if she’s wound up by watching other dogs work, and hopefully now she’s moving up the levels there will be more exciting dogs for her to watch before she runs. That’s probably a very un-PC…

Mollie's Ears
MollieBaldEars is back amongst us! She had a lovely time at the vets, she get’s spoilt rotten with cuddles whilst she’s there. Her ears are now all clean and shiny and sadly hairless, so she looks hilariously bad. Possibly as a result of being laughed at so much, she went missing (presumably escaped and roamed…

Frustrated
Training was … “interesting” this week. Dylan was totally over the top, completely overexcited and silly.

Kim loves running indoors, perferably in the loudest, most echo-ing hall with the hardest surface, and she always throws up her fastest singles…

Aframe/Team Trios (2009)
After all the long discussions with various people on how to improve Dylan’s creepy Aframe contact, it seems that we’ve finally made some progress. As I said before, he’s had a break from working on the Aframe and so we came back this week and really attacked it. There was a big improvement! No creeping…

BAA Promotion & Agility Training
Please excuse the unrelated Mollie photo, I love her paws and couldn’t resist including it! I’ve just noticed that the League Tables on the BAA Website have been updated! My application with Kim was obviously successful as Kim is currently 2nd in the Novice Medium Dog of the Year League, 8th in the Novice Agility…

How to Make Homemade Agility Jumps (Part Two)
—
The part you thought was never coming! The sequel to How to Make Homemade Agility Jumps (Part One). It’s advisable to read that post first. We added a second diagonal strut a week later, for both aesthetic and practical reasons. The original was sturdy but we thought it could be sturdier, which is what the…
