Agility Addict: I cannot tell a lie

I cannot tell a lie

I am not sorry to say good bye to this year (actually started in the fall of 2008)

One CPE agility trial for ONE day and one day of a judges clinic and that was IT if memory serves me right for agility

Losses like I have never seen - human, cat, dog, rabbit - everytime I turned around someone I loved or cared about was getting slammed in some way ...

I'll do some goal setting soon - but all I can say right now is GOODBYE 2009!!

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!
