Sorry to hear about Daisy's heart murmur The choc episode wouldn't have caused it would it?? Don't feel bad, you knew something was up went and saw about it :) Better late than never!

I trained my girl to do it as a trick. I am sure others have inadvertently trained their dog to do it too :laugh: I trained Ruby to do this too, well, started to. Wanted her between my legs with each paw on my feet, but so far she can only do one paw at a time, bless She won't naturally stand on my feet, and she is quite submissive. Millie just stands on my feet when she jumps into heel position, particularly when she's OTT excited!

She lulled me into a false sense of security. I had towels on the line numerous times while I wasn't home so thought she was past all that... then one day, I came home to a nice hole in the middle of one of my good towels I no longer have a matching set

Yeah no rain this weekend, got trials to attend!! Maybe next week!

Bright and sunny where I am right now :D Maybe we can go to training afterall If my clothes and blankets don't dry this arvo I think I'll be spending the evening at the laundromat! Go away stupid rain, coma back on Saturday Are they on the line still? In all honesty, I think the rain is the least of your worries. Tornado Millie might be more of an issue if she's hungry for fabric

Bright and sunny where I am right now :D Maybe we can go to training afterall

Sorry to hear about Rosie But at the same time, glad you finally have an answer! Hugs to her, hope this rest period does her good :)

Oh, and Happy 1st Birthday, Miss Pippa Poopy-Pants!!! Can't believe that crazy little ninja flea is 1 already, where does time go?!

Rain Cold Headache Tired Catching up on TV :p Wanted to go to training tonight, but I doubt the weather will hold out for it

With semester over and a study break of 6 weeks, I feel a new found freedom! (which is funny cos I've had that same "freedom" for many years and I've only been studying for a semester :laugh:) So much I want to cram in on those nights I get home from work and don't have to hit the books, but so little time! Not a big TV watcher usually, but heaps of shows lately I want to catch up on. Maybe I'll have a huge TV series marathon Hmm what to start with first?! Grey's Anatomy, Revenge or Offspring?! But I would need to download them all, first First world problems, love it!! And of course now there is no excuse to miss training for the next 5-6 weeks :D

Not all mine, but the part time pack at my house

I know where you're coming from. Ruby is yet to do a set of UD stays. I don't want to put her in them unless she's on a pass, but I know that if we ever get a pass in ringwork, she is very likely to fail the stays! But regardless, I won't put her in them. Don't want to risk her messing a passing dog up. Not that she has ever approached another dog in stays, all she does is change her position, but I am afraid of her getting all waggy in the group SFE which could possibly upset other dogs.

When's the next rule change? First suggestion - not allowed to proceed to group stays unless on a pass. Second and preferred option - abolish stays!!!!

Would you do that even if the total number of entries in this class is low?

The reaction is a whole lotta noise and a situation I wouldn't want to see progress especially when we are talking OOS stays. One of these dogs does stays regardless of ring outcome, and this dog is notorious for blowing the stays anyway. The situation won't arise if the other dog fails ringwork as they don't do stays when they fail ringwork, but it presents a problem if they are on a pass.

Hi guys, just wondering what you think is the best thing to do if you have been placed next to a dog that there is a dislike towards (and in return) for obedience stays? Do you contact trial secretary in advance (1.5 weeks before trial) and plead your case? Do you ask the judge on the day to be moved for stays and state why? Or just sigh at the unfortunate position you've been placed in again and withdraw? Thanks for your opinions! :)

Great news, MG!!! Yes, the year certainly is flying!

I heard this is a dominance thing, what does everyone else think? My Millie steps on my feet a lot and she is rather dominant and demanding of attention. I do what Erny says, but it isn't solving the issue, unfortunately.

It was "WA Day", formerly Foundation Day :)

Congrats Ptolomy and bedazzled on the awesome results!!!! How many in rally advanced today? Sorry I missed the trial, had somewhere else I had to be but would have much preferred to be at the trial!!!

More importantly, are you flying evil Beagle and do I get to meet her? :p

Too much fun!!! The 2 girls.

Darker girl - another cute photo. She kinda stole my heart as well, even though light girl is my fave :laugh: Chicken neck time! Their first time apparently. Dark girl decided she'd bury it for later :laugh:

Boy Lighter girl (gonna steal her! or her sister!)

Sorry they're so big! Darker girl - though blurry, my fave pic of the day!
