Day 7...and trialing dogs...totally unrelated I know :)

Day 7...Vittles...

And here is one of her CRAWLING UP OUR WOODWORK IN THE GARAGE. We actually bought another piece of woodwork to replace it someday...thank goodness that is the only thing she claws on...so yes. Instead of having a piece of cat furniture "shudder" we have a designated piece of clawing woodwork...whatever right? :)

The entire gang is going to a USDAA trial this weekend, should be an interesting spectacle :) Since they have been trained very little since, well...November. Why am I trialing them? Well...maybe a bit of an adrenaline rush knowing I am going into the ring with a dog so blown out of it's mind it will be EVERYWHERE and that same dog hasn't practiced any skills since...again...November...gets that heart racing :) Try it sometime! :)

Main reason, I want to see how fast I am against Lynn on her DW...I train in sand, that sucks, you can't really RUN in sand..more of a waddle...I am getting damn good running in sand though! So I want to see how super fast I am (or not). Good news is, the dogs have been also training in sand (and walking in there...that's were we walk when it is freakin' cold outside)...so they are fit as fiddles :)

I am going to take video...it should be VERY entertaining :)

Setting my sites on Klink's first time in Pro Novice in May...now...need the snow to F-ING melt so I can work my dogs :) Heading down to Missouri the end of this month to work sheep down there, THEY have lovely weather. I need to get to somewhere lovely right now.

Not bitter....Nope...NADA...

LOL Vittles looks just like our barn cat.
