Chapter 1- Thursday Night

Due to my very cool phone I can blog even though I'm away!!! How cool is that??

Anyway, the drive to Medicine Hat was pretty exciting in itself. It was pouring buckets which then turned to hail and snow. Sounds fun right? To add to the fun Jolene's van was fogged up so badly we couldn't see out the windows. Forcing us to wait until the visibility was better. About half way here the rain stopped and it was a nice drive- I was very entertained- Jolene is the funniest person ever...

Once we got here we checked in and unloaded the room stuff. Then we went to the show site and got set up...jolene is ultra organised and we got everything set up quick!! But, due to my bad directions we kinda went the wrong way and took a detour out of Medicine Hat on the way back to the hotel...haha Ooops!

Now it is late and we are hanging out in our very nice room- it is huge and the kind of room that you aren't afraid to walk barefoot in!

I am looking forward to tomorrow. I am showing a friends flatcoat in the morning and have rally with both dogs in the afternoon....wish us luck!!!

Glad you guys got there safe and sound!; 7:10 AM
Sarah said...: Amanda, did you mention to Wendy about the beds too? How you can't actually lay in the sheets, you have to lay on the top and don't sit on the seat of the toilets either. LOL

I love that you make the Pals sounds like a dump, it is actually CLEANER than some Days Inn and HI Express's I have stayed in, and I stay in alot of hotels (OK that sounded bad)

Remember we payed $120 for the Quality Inn in Halifax and the bathroom was dirty (hairs eewww) and there were stains all over the rug. eeeewwww

Don't be dissing the Pals, as I recall you normally rave about it ....

Good Luck at the Show!!; 7:33 AM

onecollie said...: it was totally ME, not Amanda that wanted to be in the Holiday Inn...she tried to talk me into it but I wouldn't go for it....
I like to super spoil myself when I go away....Amanda was a great sport to put up with me.....next time maybe I'll try the Pals...well, maybe not!
PS. our room was clean but the maid didn't know how to make beds, hee hee!!; 6:41 PM

Wicca

ATCHC, BRONZE Bluetrix A Little Wicca Majic MSDC, MJDC, MTRDC, MGDC, ExG Bronze, ExS Bronze, STCDC, CD, RAE, AgNJS, AgNs, SHDCH, SD-Ssp

Wicca was retired from dog sports when she was 8 years old. Always reckless, and crazy fast; Her body could not keep up anymore. Instead she is enjoying life as just a bossy little dog who rules the house, the yard, and pretty much anything of value.

Wicca is wild, intense, fast, driven, and a little on the crazy side. I love it all. She is everything I wanted in a dog and I couldn't be happier with her. She is my first Cardigan Welsh Corgi, and is NINE years old this year. We compete in Agility, Obedience, and Rally. We also play with sheep, and scenthurdle racing. She is a great little dog with tremendous heart and loves to be working. Wicca is the dog I always dreamed of. Mushy, I know. But True.

Boone RN AADC AGDC

Boone is an 11 year old Pyrenean Shepherd.....I got him in November of '07 and it has been quite the experience so far! He is very different and had some pretty major temperament problems to overcome. He has improved so much from when I first got him but will always have a few extra little quirks. :) Boone is a very silly little guy- he has a great sense of humour and really enjoys being with me. He loves to play and loves to learn new things. He has loads of enthusiasm, now we just need the focus!

Boone is retired from dogsports. Instead he is enjoying life as just a dog. ;)

Here is his Pedigree

Cornerstones On Second Thought CDX CGN RE SHDCH AGXS AGJNS MAD AGDC MJDC MSDC

Pixel came from Cornerstone Cardigans in Florida. She had a very long flight to get all the way to cold Canada. :)

She is a smart cookie, and is very much the thinker in the family. She has been a fun dog to train and trial. She is a happy dog who likes to do just about anything- obedience sure, agility sure, play fetch sure! She has been a fantastic addition to my household and I just adore her. Thank you So Much to Rita for letting me have her! Here is a link to her Sire, and her Dam.

Brit HS CD RA SHDX

I wasn't looking for a fifth dog, but when I heard about her I was interested, and when I met her I was very interested, and after spending a day with her I was in love.

She is a 3 year old Border Collie (birthday in September) that came to me after being too active for a family with young kids. She needed a job, and I hope that I can give that to her.

Brit has been with me for a year and I ADORE her. She is smart, happy, sweet and loves to work. Mostly we are Herding. But I hope to get a CD on her in 2013.

We had plans of agility but due to a weak leg that will not be in her future. Instead we are focusing on Obedience and Sheepdog stuff.

Regardless of what we do, I am looking forward to our journey together.
