a little of this; and then a little of that

Imagine this for me if you will... I actually occasionally visit non agility blogs ... mostly introduced to me because of my other great non-people joy in life (that would be our Prince Edward County farm). Shocking I know - bit some of you might be glad as Terri over at Clay Hill Farm is having a give away of a very cool necklace (and earrings)

Right on the necklace is a great quote "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." Aesop . Fitting for so many of my agility friends ...


On another, unrelated, note Sally jumped off our deck this week. It was about a 7 foot drop. She landed upright and kept going but I tell you my heart STOPPED. Talk about bold .. and crazy and such a Sally thing to do. Of course it was the short cut to her ball - nothing like an obsessive bc (mix in her case) to demonstrate drive! She didn't stop for a second to think about it - grabbed her ball and raced back to me - I was careful to throw it obviously down the stairs for the rest of fetch time.

brace yourself - the dandilions are scary

here is her drop - she didn't even touch the railing - just flung herself over it ... YIKES

weaving mania

set up one pair of 2x2 s to see what Sally thought of them - she saw them and RAN a straight line right past them - looked at me and I must admit I LAUGHED at her. She thought for a second then flung herself through the poles properly and barked at me.
She did it again without the bark and I rewarded her fast.. then she did it again and again. I had to take the poles down to stop her. Her obsessions fascinate me.
