cross country agility .....

the weather truly sucked this weekend - rain and wind interspersed with sun and WIND - the thought of setting up formal equipment to work agility seemed way out of reach however that didn't stop the agility addicts from practising their agile skill sets - at the farm yesterday and at paradise today.

clambering up and down huge rock piles - as the water was very high and there was no beach to speak of

Leaping, jumping

Balancing

Chasing sticks (and chewing them)

Full body work out dealing with the wild wind

Everybody had a riot and fitness work was accomplished without much effort on my part!

Just a Day in Paradise ...

rough life

meet up with Lucy and Walter's Mom and the Cheerful Complainer in Cherry Valley and headed down to Point Petre - a true corner of paradise ...

7 dogs: Jasmine, Fannie, Walter, Lucy, Brody, Sampson and the incorrigible Sally .. the dogs were great - they had fun smelling new smells, rolling, playing in the water and Sally eating disgusting things!

The humans had a lot of fun too - what could easily have been a half hour walk turned into a 3 hour gab fest and walk ... it's a funny thing this blog land ... meeting people you don't know in person but know well in cyberspace is a little odd. Lucy and Walter's Mom is just lovely - every bit as humble about her awesome dogs and self in person as she is on the blog, every bit as nice as she seems. I didn't "know" the Cheerful Complainer (her name- not mine - I don't think she complains much at all - but the name is cute and so's she!) nearly as well but she is a treasure in her own right too -and she runs a small dog in agility - so that was fun for me too! I am so very glad we connected and would love for it to happen again.

Everybody should sleep well tonight!

Rockin' Sally

Would have been a lovely shot if the sun was out .. apparently stump shots are a west coast thing .. rock photos are a Prince Edward County success. Which seems reasonable given the number of rocks around here. We had the beach to ourselves. Dogs had a fabulous time racing up and down the banks .. in and out of the water .. we didn't last long - it was wet and windy and cool - but it was another visit to paradise, no doubt!
