AAC Nationals Steeplechase
Well the 9th Canadian National Agility Championships have been put to bed. No I did not “win” the overall championship, but I did have a great weekend. The event was really well run, the organizers thought of just about everything, right down to having packages of ”Sham-Wow” rags at each ring! The readers digest version [...]

This morning we head up to Ottawa for the Canadian National Agility Championships. This would be the ninth year for this event. It is different than any other National Championship that I am aware of, not only in that consistency is crucial, but also the dog’s ability to do Gamblers is critical as well. You [...]

I am continuing the topic I started yesterday, describing how I have emotionally coped with the advancing progression of my dogs lives. Denial and Grieving. The day after losing Stoni I had to leave for 3 weeks of teaching in Australia. Stoni had been sick for over a year. We all knew she was living on [...]

Okay so this is the video clip I wanted to put up the other day. Not my best geek work but it gives you the idea of what I want to show. The whole routine just cracks me up. I am sure you guys will get a kick out if too. So, heres the deal. [...]

Today I am going to start right off with gratitude. I think gratitude is my favourite emotion. Doesn’t it always makes you feel good to be grateful for someone or something?
