Busy Day

This morning Kim, Judy and I went to the Cowly hall for a morning of Rally Obedience. I hadn't been there in ages, and thought it would be good for Wicca to train somewhere "newish" and Pixel has never been anywhere like that before.

It was nice to visit with dog people I haven't seen in a while and catch up on stuff.

The girls did great- Wicca aced the Advanced course, and I was very happy with her heeling. She was forging a bit, and I need to work on calling to front from a halt- but her about turns, pivots, and everything else were great. We also did some normal Obedience at the end- I am happy to report she jumped the broad jump perfect on the first try and did three great drop on recalls! Way to go Wiccie!

Pixel was very cute, and had no problem working in a new place. We did lots of tugging and playing, and of course we did practice some heeling, sits, downs, stand, and a little conformation at the end. She did very good with the "judge" going over her and was quite the little princess. She is very cute. I can't get over how cute she is. Really.

I dropped the dogs off at home and then did some rescue stuff- we had to take a momma dog and her 10 pups to their new foster home out in the middle of nowhere. Of course it couldn't be without drama. Leave it to Natalie and I. Really, something always happens. Without fail. We joke that we are going to die. Together. In her truck. But this time we thought we'd be disaster free because Alana came with us. Not so much. We got stuck out by Stirling- which is about 1/2 hour from home. The truck made some grinding noises, the engine light flashed, and it didn't take long after that for the battery light to come on. Nice eh? So we waited for half and hour for Alana's husband to come and save us.

And now I am home- with a list a mile long of people to call for rescue stuff, 31 emails to check about regionals crap (our club is hosting this summer) and four (plus 2 extras) dogs to entertain. I am about ready for bed.....
