  1. Again, I'm the opposite. I go into a first trial going whatever happens, happens, as I really don't know what to expect. But when I go in knowing I just need 1 more pass, I get stressed and then things go to pooh Ruby got 2 novice obedience passes in one day, then it took us months and months to get the final one! Both girls got 2 novice agility passes each in one weekend, back in April, and we've been trialling every weekend for about 5-6 weeks now with mostly double trials and can I get that last pass with either of them, NO! They also both need only 1 CDX pass each for their title and I can tell that one is going to take an age, as it's the one I want the most But with hardly any trials til the end of the year, I'm pretty set in knowing that title won't be happening any time soon!!
  2. Sorry to hear there isn't a yellow girl in there for you, Candice Yellow boys though, eh? Don't tempt me as Blizzard is very lovely! What about a black girl then? Don't have to worry about different coloured hairs on your outfit or lounge!
  3. I'm sitting here on the floor on my laptop in front of the heater and have this next to me
  4. Well done murve!!! I beg to differ, last passes are the hardest for me
  5. Wow everyone are getting puppies! I'd be jealous but I'm not really ready for a puppy, and mum and dad's pup comes home in 4 weeks so that will cure me! CareyJ, there was a GSP pup in RV's puppy class today and gosh her paws were yuuuuuuuuuge!!!! Very cute.
  6. I'd love to take some of your girls :D Maybe in a couple of weeks? How far from RV do you live? I wonder if I can fit you both in? RV I'll pm you my number, I had yours but did it change after your phone was stolen? Great CC, thanks! I live close to Ptolomy so maybe we could tee something up for both of us on one day so you don't have to travel so far. RV doesn't live near us. Speaking of RV, had puppy cuddles with her Zora this afternoon and she is just gorgeous
  7. Great news on Molly!! Did some training this morning, and while Ruby started out being a little naughty, she got it together in the end and gave me some good stuff Definitely waiting until next season to trial, but don't worry, I won't pull out of it next season! I have set myself a goal and I will do everything I can to meet that goal! Had puppy cuddles of RV's new little Brittany, Zora today. Oh gawd is she a little cutie She's going to be a ball of fun for RV to train!
  8. Well done wuffles! You're flying through, great job! Open soon!! :D Do you have video of your trial or the last one?
  9. Whoops, the email was there, I just didn't check it See you at 2!
  10. CC, double agility trial on in Rockingham. Oh and at some stage I would luuuurve a little photoshoot of my girls if you're keen?! I want a nice photo taken of Millie with her prizes from the Obedience Challenge to put in the frame she won RV - am I still coming with you tomorrow?
  11. I think if I moved to the UK with my dogs it would feel very weird taking them places! But I am sure I would get over it quickly, as it would be really great to have a pub meal with my girls at my feet, might make me go to the pub more! Might even meet a dog loving fella ;) Taking them to pubs and on public transport are some of the best in my eyes, wish we had that here too.
  12. Bump! I don't have the book myself, but I think a lot of people were buying Agility Right From the Start, so maybe give that one a go? http://www.cleanrun.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_id=2350&ParentCat=175&string=right%20from%20the%20start
  13. Feel like loaning me one for a while then? :p I actually still have The Focused Puppy to read! But this new book on Clean Run looks good because it's not a lot of reading, but actual things to put into practice. I've just ordered a retrieving DVD as I find those easier than reading, cheats way out
  14. I saw it too, but just checked it out then. Looks good, I want! But only yesterday I said I need to stop buying dog things after I made an order of retrieving stuff
  15. The nerve of them!!!! And do they really think everyone falls asleep within 15 mins? I know I don't!! Glad nobody was hurt, but that really sucks about the purse. The inconvenience of all the cards to cancel and reorder
  16. OMG!!!!!!!!! Did they take anything? Are you ok??
  17. kekekek don't get me started on the Vietnamese tragic love songs I sing to Bubby as a demonstration of my love! Last time I did it, Bitty ran into the study and hid with her Da Da. Bubby, bless him, my faithful devoted boy, sat by my feet with the most tortured expression that said "I am your loyal Bubby Dawg so I will sit through this until the very bitter end!" RubyStar: Just becareful that any new man you meet won't steal your girls from you! Bitty was supposed to be MINE as well!!! I take her in, feed her, clothe her! All that devotion and she runs off with my husband! Wench! I found myself singing "grab somebody sexy, tell them HEY!" to Ruby And I think my girls will always be mummy's girls. My Dad tries to steal Millie away, but she only has eyes for her Mum!
  18. Long shot, but did anyone at any stage own the Sony Ericsson K790i mobile phone (or similar) and still have the charger and usb cable I could borrow? I found my old phone but can't find the cables and there are videos and pictures I'd really like to get off it (mainly of puppy Ruby :D) Thanks if you can help!
  19. Nawwwww that is toooo cute! Bitty is hubby's "Baby Girl". He will say "Baby Girl" and she will launch herself at him. He also refers to himself as her "Da Da". It is so cute to listen to him wash her paws when she gets muddy. I hear snippets like "Now give Da Da your right paw. Don't sulk Baby Girl. All this mud on your face! Da Da dun love muddy pups." Usually followed by "All done now. Give Da Da a kiss." Oh gosh this sounds like me I have a back step where the dogs have to stop before coming in to have their paws wiped. Millie will put up with it, but Ruby comes up to the step and hands me her paw automatically. When I'm done, I'll say "other one" and she hands me her other paw. All the while I'm talking to her about my baby girl having dirty paws and kissing her head when I'm done
  20. Maybe COTD needs its own permanent pinned topic due to the frequency of pet item heads up it receives
  21. Well you can swing by and pick me up if you want
  22. Are you heading down to the K9 tonight? Hoping I can pinch you at some stage to call me some rounds with Ruby pretty please. I think we really need rounds called, so she relates someone calling a round to still being rewarded (and so I can settle my nerves). And well done Strauss!!
