Ptolomy

I am currently working on the drop on recall and the directed jumping - stay tuned

I was there with Rubystar for a short time and ended up leaving just as it got dark and I could no longer see the kids . The "other" toller was Zippa who is Cider's half sister and she was playing/ doing zoomies with Strauss.

Woo Hoo - some good news at last - enjoy and as the others have said photos are compulsory :-) PS - make sure you get lots of sleep tonight :D

It sounds like you both had a great night (was this at K9??) - Well done and keep up the good work ;)

A belated Happy Birthday ST - I didn't realise that you weren't coming last night ;) - so its cake next Monday right?? :p Thanks to Bedazzled and her mum for capturing the reason why I took up drinking. This is Beans and the distance control exercise in Bunbury on Sunday http://www.youtube.com/user/bedazzledx2?feature=mhum

and the reason I took up drinking :p

I wish I could watch this - I really need internet access at home and glad Soggy helped with your motivation. Rubystar you should have been tickled pink with Ruby's work yesterday - yep there are still things to work on - but it is heading in the right direction. Keep up the good work. Kathq - you have got me thinking - the 30th October - hmm I am staying north of Brisbane - hmmm

cough cough splutter splutter - I forget to check with the judge what I scored Thanks for the congrats with Cider - at 14 months she is still such a baby and for her first trial I couldn't have asked for more. I pulled her out of the afternoon trial thinking it was a long day for her, a long drive and she was probably tired - er nope she came home and did zoomies with Strauss for a couple of hours - so i now know there was plenty more fuel in the tank

Can somebody tell me where Pine Rivers is in relation to Brisbane please. I guess what I want to know is could I drive there and would I be able to find it??

Thanks Rubystar for the little present last night - it went down a treat with a bag of popcorn and some chocolate. Made me forget all about Soggy dropping in her sit stays

Pssst don't tell anybody but I was an athlete in a past life (when I was younger, skinnier and less grey). Mum is still an athletics coach - who has had a couple of athletes make an Olympic team :D

TOUCH WOOD Beans is doing well at the moment Good luck with the job Emery I was told 6pm for tonight - any idea why the lights have to be off so early?

I will be there - I have 2 weeks training to cram into 1 night - last session before Soggy's debut :D

Tiling the laundry - ripped out all the old tiles from the wall and floor a couple of weeks ago - I didn't like the colour :D Ness are you offering to do me a new signature ;)

The date with the bobcat man went well - we both went home exhausted. I didn't realise that we would have to hand load everything into the bobcat bucket - so the process took from 9-4.15 needless to say I was in bed very early last night. I have moved on and now have a date with the tiler on Saturday. It feels so good to tick jobs off the list

What hand do you take the dumbbell with - do you think this has anything to do with it

Try putting some tape around the middle of the article several layers eg insulation tape and then gradually remove it.

CCD and Strauss gives Cider a very hard time he is always hanging off her ears, stealing toys off her, biting her neck - they get on very well Drinking red wine midweek is not the norm in your house (said as I polish off glass two...) Which class have you entered her in?

Yep why else would I be pulling my hair out and drinking red wine midweek Seriously reconsidering now

Soggy Bear

From all this I think we can assume that dog training and red wine drinking go hand in hand Maybe to be a good dog trainer you also have to drink red wine... Come on guys think of some others........ PS - I didn't train tonight I decided to have a rest and try it again tomorrow

liar liar pants on fire Did I get it on video ;)

I teach holding dumbbell and scent early, and then revist when I need it - the dogs don't seem to forget and it makes moving forward much quicker than having to start from scratch.
