Oh my, I want squishy Rotti puppy cuddles so badly!

We are going to go to Albany camping OH said he would go this weekend but I think I am rather outside of the closing date - bugger it would have been my first show for 8 years! Damn it - I should have checked up earlier, although we only decided today that we were defiately going to Albany! I sooo want to go showing and meet some DOLers!

Congrats on he human baby Emery, I have two and that is enough for me! the thought of three fighting little monkey's would just about do my head in, two fighting monkeys is enough!

well if you are albany come introduce yourself and i can offer two rottis that would love cuddles :eek:

thanks one of my fighting monkeys if off to school next year so that will help a bit lol.

on another note i am joining the skin kid pregnancy ppl got two pink lines this morning :whee:

Congrats on the pregnancy news Emery.... My mum had 3 kids (my older bro, me and my younger sis) I am the only one out of all of us that has continued to show dogs.. My brother has NEVER been interested in showing - and ended up breeding his rott x :rofl: ... I have no intention of breeding but love showing and my sister HATES showing... she gave it a shot - and was sometimes forced to do it, but now shes old enough she steers clear LOL!

I think I'm one of them as well :whee: Funny though that in high school you think you want kids, then you grow up and realise how much work they appear to be, and I'm far too selfish to want to care for something depending so much on me :eek: At least with dogs, you can leave them home if you want a night out :whee: I'm not a kid person, but my friend's kid loves me for some reason :D Despite all that, I'd like to think that one day I will have kids, I don't want to grow old and regret it. I just need to find Mr Right, first :D

No big deal but I just went to the first page of this thread and it was started EXACTLY 12 months ago today!

Happy First Birthday WA thread!! :rofl::o

Happy Birthday to us!!! ;)

ozjen, happy to car pool with you next year if I go through with attending tracking :D How often do we need to train? I think I'm going to struggle to find time to train this outside of the Sat morning. I'm a bit put off that you only get a 15 minute go in that many hours, though :whee: I understand you have to lay tracks for each other, but for 15 mins, I'm not so sure! :o

You usually get a couple of goes and after the first couple of weeks when the dogs are getting the idea and the tracks are short, your tracks are longer. There are also more aspects than just getting the dog to track that the handler has to learn, some don't involve the dogs, like mapping and track laying. Also you follow up on other peoples tracks so that the instructor can teach you how to read the dogs as they track which is sometimes easier to take in when your not at the other end of the lead.

Tracking is quiet tiring on the dogs so they are usually happy to have the breaks in between. Some people who did no training other than Saturday finished with a couple of legs towards their tracking titles by the end of the season.

So brand new people who only trained on Saturdays were ready to enter trials? Wow. So why didn't you enter? :rofl::whee:

Cause I'm a big chicken!!!! I' didn't feel like I could read Jenna well enough. :) Plus I had missed abit of tracking with Agility and other things. Have told myself that I have to enter this year.

I would like some help from our lovely Southwest DOLers.

I am looking for recommendations or definately don't goes regarding boarding kennels in Albany please.

I have been to one around 15 years ago and was pleased with their service but I am sure there are more than one. So some help would be fantastic :rofl:

Thanks guys

Borderbemyne is one possiability, check the Papillon or Border Collie listings on DOL for contact details although they have a web site as well. Donna passed away but I think her husband and sister or sister in law still run it.

Awww poor Indy - my old dog was stung in the eye by a bee, my cats have been lucky although my small siamese x was bitten by a snake awhile back - she did not even get sick, it could not have been very poisonous, she did land up with a swollen face and 2 swollen front paws though which looked so :)

:D I hope we avoid those types of bites :eek:

Oh just look at that dear wee thing with a boo boo! :( She is so well looked after :D

She is the most spoilt cat ever, she's our little precious :) She has now managed to remove the bandage, obviously got fed up of waiting for me to do it for her ;)

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?
