We Sure Can Build Confidence
Sweet Chase I just have to toot my husband’s and my horn just a little bit. Four of our dogs are rescues, and if I do say so myself, we are good at building their confidence. This picture is of Chase. And though he didn’t come with to...
Tatum’s Agility School
More pictures from the flyball tournament! LOL but this one is not of flyball, but of Tatum and Chase playing. After the tournament was over we got to relax and the dogs got to run and play. I love to let them run and play as I think they need to rel...
Update on Muffit’s Training
Well I am pleased to say that Muffit’s training is coming along very well! He is such a good boy. We had a private lesson last Friday and my instructor was actually very happy with how far he has already come. I discovered while training him at...
Tatum and Muffit and Agility Practice
I am so thrilled! I took Tatum and Muffit out to the local agility barn today and Tatum did so great! She is a maniac on the A-Frame! Well, no, not a maniac, LOL, but she’s fast and not afraid at all. I thought she might be afraid of the conta...
Six Clean Dogs
Well today was bath day. It was between bathing the dogs, and cleaning the kitchen, and bathing the dogs won out! And it’s a good thing, too. Lucy was the dirtiest. The water ran off her very, very brown! We haven’t given her a bath f...
Calm Down, Muffit.
Yesterday Muffit and I went to our obedience instructor and had a private lesson. Muffit is such a sweet boy, but he doesn’t know how to calm himself down. He’s like a kangaroo on a pogo stick, he comes out of his crate bouncing and sitti...
Misundersood Muffit
I think poor Muffit has been misunderstood most of his life. Fortunately (and yeah I’m tooting my own horn here but oh well!) he now is in a home where he is very understood. I think this, because last weekend at flyball practice Muffit was...
Muffit at Flyball
Well, as you might know, I go back and forth about bringing Muffit with to flyball practice or not. Sometimes I think he just has to go, to get over his frantic reactions to the other dogs. And sometimes I think I should just leave him home and work...
Muffit in a Basket
So last night as I’m online and fighting with the wireless router to get more bandwidth from my husband… he, my husband, says I have to go into the computer room and have a look at something. I was hoping he wasn’t gonna yell at me ...
Muffit and the Husband
Muffit is such a good sweet boy and he’s coming a long way in his training. His box work is so great for flyball! Of course his behavior still needs some work. Maybe if I join the wine of the month club I can cope with him better! But I just li...
Happy Birthday Boys
So Muffit and Chase are pretty lucky boys. Not only do they get a Gotcha Day each, they also get a birthday. It’s a made-up birthday for the dog sports they are in. We usually celebrate both… and this one was the Made-Up-Birthday-Day on S...
A Trip to the Dog Park
I don’t usually like dog parks… mainly because my dogs don’t do too good at them. But I have to say, some of my dogs don’t do good at them.. but actually, only one doesn’t do good at them anymore. Levi used to be horribl...
Muffit and Training
Muffit is being a challenge for me. I thought he would be easier than he is. Tatum and Muffit are really, really making me appreciate how lucky I got with Chase. They are all rescues, and you know how rescues can come with baggage. Maybe it’s...
Back from NAFA
And so.. back to work after doing flyball again all weekend. It was a blast. I had a great time. This is a picture of me and Muffit. He was being goofy and wouldn’t keep his ears up, kept wanting to look for other dogs when we were trying to ta...
Obedience Practice with Chase
Today I took Chase, Muffit and Tatum up to a Bark in the Park event in Park City, Utah. Our flyball team, the Thunder Paws, did a flyball demo a couple of times and so I figured I’d take all three of them up, and do some obedience practice wi...
Spicey Love Muffit!
After long last I’ve finally decided on a fun fancy name for Muffit! I like to have fancy registered names for the dogs. I wish i had a fancy name myself, and actually I kinda like my name… but I like to have fancy names for the dogs to g...
Agility And Fun
Well today was a down day, but not really! I got up at 6:30am to do some agility training. I wanted to head out when the courses were fresh on my mind. I didn’t bring Levi… Levi stayed home on Sunday, too. He has never avoided that many ...
Sunday at USDAA
Today was a much better agility day with Chase my border collie boy. He did well. I was less stressed because I didn’t have someone else who was counting on us. Instead it was just us for us and that’s a good thing. Here are a couple ...
Jogging Makes Border Collies Tired
So, I want to get back into jogging. I wish I could take three or four dogs jogging, but when leashed on the streets I can only take two. This morning I took Chase and Muffit jogging and they loved it. Chase knows my jogging shoes and gets excited ...
