RallyValley

This is for people not on WA click: Rally O' The Inaugural Meeting of Interested Parties and friends of RALLY O' will be held at the Canine Centre on Tuesday the 23rd of November, Meeting Room 2 at 7.30 pm. This is to discuss the future of Rally O' in WA with a view to discussions at a National basis. Are we ready for a Rally O' Club, or should we be looking at a working party to promote this new and exciting sport before we go any further? State your views, every voice counts!

Just have say to everyone please read Sins post!!! The Wei club does a ton of work for Wei rescue and I have personally met Matrix (a current foster) and the condition he was rescued in was heartbreakingly sad!

No not Eurovison this time. (But I wish) Just to Bulgaria for a big Chalga (Bulgarian) concert called Planeta Derby. And then just some Greek singers. Mostly a family visit though.

I saw a bit of it but had to switch, it brought back harrowing memories from when Jack ingested snail pellets at 6 months, he did it overnight and when we found him in the morning he was convulsing, walking into walls and very vacant. He survived that but it was a bloddy big scare! And my dad never forgave himself for leaving the shed door unlocked so that it blew open and we have been super careful since about using things that are dangerous.

Your a bit of a stirrer aren't you (And the answer to that for anyone following along at home is no- I will not be meeting any kind of in-laws) I have only been here and Africa But moving to a whole new country- massive adventure!

Yes I have only been to Greece so not exactly a worldbeater . Plus my planned holiday not thrilling for most Greece and Bulgaria for concerts, Italy and Slovenia visiting people and a few weeks in Croatia just chilling with my friends family

Yeah I don't think I will be at training tonight. I found out today Air Asia is doing flights to Paris so instead the dogs will go for a walk with Bronson and my trip to Europe nest year will be planned.

We should arrange a little Rally mock trial when huski is here. That will give Amypie and Trixie a chance to try Rally too! Plus I can show off Lexis awesome right finish

I want all the dogs in my house to be sane before I get puppy! So thats a very very very very very long time! Me and Toby will be there with me trying to calm him down.

Happy Birthday WA thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also congrats emery. I have a feeling next year we will be seeing at least one puppy in this thread (cough RS and MM) and at least one litter. :D Hopefully we also keep up the awesomeness and discussion, although I have noticed the page numbers every day considerably drop since I started the new job and cant access DOL so often. Amypie and RS- You training on Thursday?

I had a not so good night too Ptolomy. I have not seen Toby that out of it and nervey at K9 for quite awhile I feel so bad for him when he is so anxious.

How much is the E5 DMA? (And how much is the used E-30? )

Is it just me or does this look like the owner is doing wayyyyyyyy more work then the dog?

In 2011 there are my goals; - Train Toby through his bike phobia and get ET (if his vet ok's it for his joints) if not just the bike phobia -Train Toby to an RN/CCD level. Maybe enter a trial (but not likely :D ) - Do tracking! Maybe TD -Keep learning and having fun!

Then the party is now at a show, not a trial Nibblies and booze all round? They need a class for pet dogs on NYE so we can have a laugh Ruby and I will be the first to trot around the ring and be laughed at Ok Ptolomy and RS deal. As long as someone puts me up for the night so I can have a drink and we throw all the Tollers possible at the judge (Only your two youngest are entire though right Ptolomy?) Should be entertaining! See if we can get RS in the ring!

Well me and Toby entered a few trials and up until nationals he was running quite well, then one night at a closed club trial he was refusing jumps and I noticed him limping.. a few Bowen sessions later he was better. Fast forward a few months, he is lame again, so Toby is seeing a special vet on Saturday but is retired from agility . Hopefully we can pursue Rally-O and tracking next year. Even if he is sound again I doubt we will de agility as my concerns about his leg are projected into the trial ring and we both get super nervey. I have been having lots of fun at trials and training with the dogs, I have not yet lost the ability to laugh it off when my dogs are being little turds, so hopefully i can keep that! Only update here is that a very trusted sports vet's opinion is "Toby can do agility... if he dosent have to land" His shoulders are awful and won't take the stress of jumping. So although this limits Toby somewhat we still have plenty to do! I have work to do with Toby still. He is terrified of bikes, he just goes into a mess when he sees one so my biggest goal for 2011 is to do ET (on a bike!) with Toby and see if desensitzation and clicker training can get him over his fear. We will also give tracking a shot, and depending on what happens Rally wise either enter Rally-O or give CCD a try.

Drumbreat- This is where my boys are booked in at Easter http://www.thepawhouse.com.au/ .

Eurovision? (But I do love Eurovision, just not that particluar song! )

I think your enthusiasm rubbed off in WA ;)

Well that was a waste of time asking here. I have never boarded my dogs before so I can't help. Most of the DOLers live south of the river and we even have a few DOLers south of the river that own boarding kennels. I am going away at easter and have the boys booked into a place in Southern River. Sorry.

Yeah Strauss got RUBOB and Dog CC and Cider got BOB and bitch CC. Because I already was holding Cider for the BOB lineup I ran around with her, Sandi ran around with Strauss and when the stopped the judge chose. I also got ES and FCR cuddles and I helped groom James and I even trimmed his foot! I also forgot my showing shoes and had to borrow shoes.

600 pages!!!!!!!! Ok back to normal. I have a brag well not really Ptolomy does. It's that Strauss and Soggy both got points today and Strauss is a little showing legend and went so well for his first show!!! :D

Go Millie I am glad she is doing so well for you!

I will be of course. But I won't be coming to obedience tonight so goodluck everyone.

Yep, when it first went of when I was on the computer I put it down to perhaps a draft blowing under the door, and the same could be said for later except for the fact that the timing was always perfect with me waking up and it kept saying the same thing. Know I sound nuts, but it does have me abit on edge, have been trying to rationalise it to myself all day. :D Will feel better after tonight...........hopefully. Flush it. :p
