Another First for Susan Garrett
I can no longer make the claim that I have never watched a Star Trek or Star Wars movie. This past weekend three of my brothers and wives (well only 2 brought their wives) came over for potluck and a movie. One of my sister in law’s (Pat) brought vegetarian chili. My new favorite recipe [...]

Sorry I had a bit of a hiatus this week. We had our final inspection on the new house so John and I have been running around like crazy. In the midst of it all Lynda (friend and one of our instructors here) brought by her new Border Collie puppy. His name is CoolMoss (I [...]

Hey, I heard from Ken Tatsch at the USDAA office. Thanks for all of your posts, he read them and is going to look further into the possibility of a ABBC class. Consideration is a great first step! Now it is November, all my big agility events for this year have come and gone, [...]

Well we are heading into day three today at the USDAA Nationals. The weather has been fantastic for dog agility, mid 70′s!

Read moreSurprises: Some are Great, Others . . . Not So Much
I love surprises, good ones that is. Like while I sit here at my computer for the 4th day on the road ( as we head to the USDAA Nationals) and yet another competitor whizzes by, honking as they recognize the “Empress” (. . .er that is, the model name of our RV). Those are [...]
