Lovely weekend

Didn't do a darn thing in a formal sense with agility training ... marked and rewarded attention from all dogs and did fitness work but apart from that we were all mellow in front of fire ;) Picked up the teeter totter - thanks Jennifer! Hoping the space thing works soon as the truck is FULL!

Welcome to My Addiction

I'm an educator who is passionate about animals of all species. You may see references to other species here - there aren't many animals we haven't lived with at least as fosters for a short time.

The current agility dogs are:

Brody - a shi/poodle/maltese mix born in 2000

adopted when he was 6 months old. He is a dear soul but as a product of a puppy mill sold through a puppy broker he came with some serious baggage. He has proven to be a superstar at everything he's been asked to do - humane education, tv gigs, media interviews, trade shows, and now agility!

Thea - an adorable chihuahua born in 2003 adopted because we were "chihuahualess" after losing one of our old palliative fosters. She is chocolate and just the sweetest thing. We are so lucky to live with one easy dog! Agility is just a game to her - and we have lots of fun!

Sally - a border collie mix of who knows what born in the sumer of 2006. Sally was fostered by us as a palliative case due to serious gastric issues. She was only 4 months old when she joined our family and it took a long time to believe she might survive. Her great joy of life is constantly getting her into trouble but she brings great pleasure to us daily. If she ever gets some real work (or a real handler!) in agility she'll be amazing. Agility scores VERY high on her list of things to do!
