The dogs and I have been doing lots of hiking, getting in shape for our big camping trip to Mammoth in June! We have been hiking all over Southern California, from Murrieta to Mt. Laguna, having a wonderful time, getting in shape and spending time with friends!

Wyatt once again this year was invited to work the Meet the Breed Booth at the Eukanuba Cup. We had a great time and once again, Wyatt charmed his way and got to do the cool earthdog tunnel!

A Fabulously Fun Weekend!

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 22:02:00 -0400

The dogs and I have a really great weekend this past weekend! Saturday started off with agility down at the field. Huck got to play with his big ball, that he killed after only 2 outings! RIP big ball, LOL. Then later that afternoon, Cynthia and Sage and Skyler and my sister Robin all went for a really fun moonlight hike down at Sycamore Canyon.

The nighttime hike!

Then on Sunday we met up with Carol and Jim with Penny and Chrissy and headed down to Point Loma, we had a wonderful day and beat the heat in Ramona!

A Fun Weekend

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 22:19:00 -0400

Saturday Huck and I were up and out early for a show n go in Riverside and met Lauralyn and Apache. We had a great time and met new friends, Oliver and Anna. Huck did good, the first run, he was awesome until we got to the weaves, then he shut down and ran a muck! I got him back and we finished the course. The next run I skipped the weaves and he did perfect! So we need to work on our weave poles!

Then on Sunday we all got up early and headed to the reserve for a hike, it was a beautiful morning and we got finished before the heat started!

The SCAT CPE Agility Trial Weekend

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 23:27:00 -0400

The dogs and I had a wonderful weekend! I left on Friday afternoon and drove up to Costa Mesa, checked into the Motel and then went to the agility field, saw some old flyball friends and set up the easy up and waited for Suzi. Then afterward the dogs and I went back to the motel for some relaxation and dinner. Saturday morning we got up and drove up the coast a bit then came back and met Suzi and Jiggs at the agility trial to do some pictures. It was alot of fun! Then later Suzi picked up some mexican food and brought it to the motel.

Thanks to Suzi for taking these shots!

Then on Sunday Huck made his debut!

Wyatt ran first in Jumpers, which was good, because I ran the course and knew it by the time it was Huck's turn. he had a great run, with one minor mistake, placing 2nd and earning his first Q! Wyatt won his class in jumpers also. Then Callie ran in Fullhouse and had a perfect run placing 2nd and a Q and Wyatt also ran in Fullhouse, winning his class and earning a Q. I was very proud of Callie and I because we earned that ellusive 2nd Q in Snookers and she placed 3rd:)

In Colors Huck was great and while he missed a jump and headed for a tunnel, I got him back on track and had a blistering run winning his class and earning his 2nd Q! What a fun weekend and I look forward to more Qs from the Huckster!

I have not posted to the website in a while. Alot has been going on and most of it is good stuff. The dogs and I are having alot of fun hiking the hills of San Diego as well as doing agility. Huck is coming along wonderfully and we are turning a new chapter in our agility training, starting private lessons with Ann Platt and a handling class with Marla Cooper, both run very successful agility dogs and fast dogs, I am looking forward to learning what they have to teach us!

Snow Dogs!

Sun, 28 Dec 2008 17:10:00 -0500

My friend Cynthia and I took the dogs up to the Mountains to see the snow. it was Huck's first trip to the snow and lets just say his reaction did not disappoint us ,LOL. Can anyone say NUT!! It was 26 degrees and he went into the freezing creek, LOL then the water on his coat froze so he has icicles on him , but he didn't care, what a nut!

Huck and I go to the Handling Workshop

Wed, 24 Dec 2008 11:14:21 -0500

Huck and I had a great time on Sunday up in San Clemente at the Handling Outside the Box Workshop with Marla Cooper, Huck did great and shows great promise of being a really cool agility dog, I cant wait until next Summer!

A Busy Weekend!

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 00:29:25 -0500

Wyatt and I had a great time up in Long Beach at the Eukanuba Cup on Saturday. He had a blast smoozing with everyone and they had a short earthdog tunnel with a fake mouse at the end and he was buzzed up all day because of it ,LOL. Suzi came by and saw him in action and got some great shots. it was fun hanging out with my PRT friends, one of the dogs that was there, is also named Wyatt, he was the number 3 Parson in the country in 2006 and the sire of my future pup, I just love that dog, just a gentleman, so handsome and he has drive too. Thans Suzi for these pics!

Then on Sunday the dogs and I went up to Murrieta to an agility trial. I had Callie entered in Standard and Snookers and Wyatt entered in Jumpers and Wildcard. Callie went first in her standard run, she had a good run until I threw my shoulder and she went past a jump, but I called her back sent her back over it and we finished her run, she still managed to Q and place 1st. Wyatt had a flawless run in Wildcard and a speed demon run in Jumpers, he won both his classes and Qd in both, he had a blast:) Callie's snooker run was kind of strange and I got the whistle, so she didn't Q, although she did place 1st, which tells me everyone else was that much worse then we were, LOL. Thanks Suzi for these pics!
