Agility Addict: first aac trial of the year ..

approaches ... one half day of a trial under our belt for the year (cpe in Feb) so far so I'm looking forward to testing where we are at in the ring ...

the dogs have been working well and I feel pretty good about my handling so we'll see what happens!

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!
