I've never lost one toy at the beach or river (Which is probably lucky since the small isqueaks would probably fit snugly in a dolphin's blowhole :D ) I've lost bazillions in the back yard though And a few get thrown over the fence (by both me and Kyzer ) Ooooh zumba sounds like laughing yoga

Poor Jenna!

His first trial should be interesting - I'd imagine the other dogs would be a bit confused

I have seen videos of cat agility before - very amusing, if looks could kill those handlers would have been long dead

Awwwww! Trixie had that exact same bunny in her puppy pack, which was sent over before she came, and there was one in her crate with her as well ;) One died a horrible death, but I saved the other one and have kept it Is he bitey or good? I'm looking forward to your "WHAT HAVE I DONE" posts once he has settled in and come out of his shell

Ah yep I'd change the carpet too, it's the worst carpet in the world for dog hair!

Yep I was going to get a hatch but a wagon is so much more practical. I've even transported a tree in it :p

I was just thinking yesterday how much I love my car, it is so perfect for me, fits my crates and gazebo and eveything, keeps the dogs cool with the breeze blowing through. The only things I'd change would be maybe leather seats for easier cleaning and a bit more power :p

One Boxing Day we were driving back from my Aunty's where we had been for Christmas, 45 minute drive, the outside temp reading in the car said 47 - it felt even worse than that due to the fact that I was incredibly hungover :p ETA I'd say 40 - 41 degrees is not unlikely but it usually sits around mid - high 30s over the hotter months?

Still hot after dark too :p About the maggots - they are commonly referred to as 'brain maggots' they eat brains. Sleep well :p

As I'm not working at the moment it was a shock to the system, even though I have been getting up at 6ish to get the dogs out before the heat :D I can't wait to see what your posts are like in December / January CC This is practically Winter comared to what it will be like You'll be very thankful for your swimming pool!

I've set my dog up 'hands on' for most of our trials and have never had a judge or anyone else ever mention it was a problem - never touch him after telling the judge we are ready though so that may be why.

Congrats Terranik You had a good night! Well done Grumpette too, hope that last pass comes quickly

I have a feeling this is going to be one big mother box that comes from Clean Run

So does mine, I am supposed to be saving for Europe I had banned myself from CR but this is a special event

Wow, good work Clean run! I'd be up for a bulk order!

Are you serious Tiggy? What happened? RIP Shimi

Just read the hooves have been given away, never mind Well done on the job vCBR! And happy birthday Brookie How old is he, my mind says 8?

Thanks Amy ST wants to watch some novice jumping Also does anyone's dog eat cow hooves? I brought a bag of them for my dogs and Lincoln is terrified of them He peed himself when I got one out the bag and spent the rest of the afternoon slinking around with his tail between his legs until I put them in the shed just after 9am should be fine then. I'm sure Trixie would take a hoof off your hands. I did laugh at your pony being scared of them though Funny how dogs just get spooked by things sometimes!

I taught Trixie this the other night, I had tried shaping it a few months earlier but she would just look at me with one paw on it, the other night I was luring her up onto it and then C+T, only took two lures for her to get the idea.

Jumping Novice up and Agility Masters down :p ETA: More specifically - Agility: Masters > Open > Excellent > Novice Jumping: Novice > Excellent > Masters > Open

My soft crate got killed and the dog wasn't even in it at the time I only use metal / airline ones because I don't trust my younger dog in the soft ones but if your dog is not destructive and is well crate trained I'd get a soft crate, they are a lot easier to carry and assemble. ETA: When I was using that crate for the non-naughty dog once it was closed I used to clip the zip into that hook on the right, that way he couldn't unzip it.

Don't have a Dyson but have a bagless Wertheim with a power head - brilliant on carpet! Brushes the dog hairs straight off it. Will never get a vacuum without a powerhead again, had to use my SIL's cheapie the other day and it was so ineffective it was frustrating

WOW! Well done Xena98!! What an amazing dog young Gabby is! Well done with your other two also, you've had quite a year!

LOL, don't know if 'well behaved' is a term commonly used for Trixie
