Saturday Freya: not one of our better performances

by

Today we went to an APDT rally obedience trial at Blitzen Canine Academy. This was not one of our better trial days. We were entered in both trials in Level 1 only, working on RL1X legs and ARCH points. We ended up with one NQ and one Q with a very mediocre score of 179. So we did not get any ARCH points but we did add an RL1X leg (now at 3 of 10).

Tomorrow, we are entered in both trials in Level 1 as well as Level 2 in the second trial. It will be a long day, so it’s way past time to get some sleep! I’ll talk more about the entire weekend tomorrow night.

April showers bring May flowers

by

I don’t know if this April has been more or less rainy than normal, but I do know that right at this moment, there is thunder and lightning close by, and the rain is coming down quite hard. It’s been raining on and off since about an hour after I got home from work. So there better be a huge load of happy shiny May flowers on the way!

I’m guessing that the yard will be too soggy tomorrow morning to do our usual pre-trial warmup, so it’s good we got in a little practice tonight before the rain. Unfortunately, it was pretty windy, so that meant leaving out the jump and cones since ours are lightweight practice stuff that would have definitely gotten blown around.

Hoping the rain will stop soon for long enough to get the dogs out and in, and let us all get some sleep already!

Search terms!

by

I’m running out of time and energy, so let’s look in the site stats and see what search terms have brought visitors here lately:

disguise macbook as pc: Okay. Now why on earth would you want to do this? One of the most appealing aspects of most Apple products is their stylish appearance, and to disguise a MacBook just seems wrong. I say this as someone who uses both PCs and Macs, and definitely not not not as a fangrrrl.

white sox dog day 2010: Thursday, June 3, against the Texas Rangers. I wouldn’t be surprised if tickets in the “Dog Zone” are already sold out. I thought that Dog Days was usually held earlier in the season to avoid the heat, but I could be wrong. I’m not a baseball fan so I haven’t paid that much attention.

ipad rottweiler: I think this might have been Freya. It’s not enough that she hijacks my laptop whenever she can (see header graphic). No, Freya, you are not getting your own iPad. Well. Maybe, when you earn your UKC rally championship. Then you can have one. Deal?

i think my dog ate a press on nail: I’m not even sure what to say to this one, except that I hope everything came out all right. Ouch.

There IS a conspiracy!

by

I finally made it over to Sports Authority this evening to pick up some cheap soccer cones to add to our rally obedience practice items. So instead of stopping at the Pet Supplies Plus in my neighborhood, I stopped at the one across the street from Sports Authority.

Apparently there really is a conspiracy to keep Freya’s and Axe’s favorite WellBites flavor out of Norwood Park! There were plenty of Chicken & Venison flavor, and in fact all five flavors, of WellBites at this store.

Hmmm. What is going on?

Catch up time

by

I’ve decided not to renew a couple of my older semi-dormant domains. So I need to move my public photo gallery sometime in the next five days.

EDITED TO ADD: I did move the gallery and the link has been updated.

Freya and I also need to get our acts together on a few Level 2 rally obedience exercises which are looking less like perfection and more like major point deductions before Sunday.

I also have a couple of web pages to set up for someone’s new canine family member before her arrival which is scheduled for tomorrow.

Yikes! Where did the time go?
