The girls last night were trying to talk me into entering a jumping trial with Ruby soon :rofl: And silly me is thinking about it as the bug has bitten me :) And no we're soooo not ready :eek:

Rubystar - go and practice a sit stay will ya! :mad I am on remedial stay training next Monday and i need somebody to practice with :thumbsup:

Actually thinking of missing my flight home - I love it here :eek:

Ruby and Scoota have gotta stop sharing sit stay tips. One of them is obviously wrong and passing on incorrect info on what the criteria for a sit stay is! And seeing Scoota has been in the game longer, I'm gonna place money on it's Scoota that told Ruby that dropping in a sit stay is allowed, as long as they don't get up :(:mad

(kidding of course :eek:)

When are you "meant" to be coming home??

RS enter one and see if she will do it. No harm in that :mad What height is she measured at again?

She gets to jump 500. And no, will won't be entering one soon, considering the fact that only on Thursday night, doing a 3 jump lead out, she missed went round the second jump :thumbsup: I wasn't feeling it that night, so abandoned the agility equipment and practiced some obedience :)

Ness - with agility, I'm just doing it for fun, I'm not taking it seriously like obedience :( So I won't wait til perfection to enter agility, but will be waiting a bit longer than a couple of months :rofl:

ValleyCBR I can't believe you are saying this - how long have you been doing agility and how long has Rubystar been doing it??? There is no way Ruby would be ready to trial yet and YES it can hurt if she is entered when she is not ready.

Sorry going to fight you with this one - get back in your box!!!!!!!

:thumbsup: I feel scolded.

Listen to Ptolomy RS, she knows you and Ruby much better then I do. I just assumed since after nationals there wasn't a trial till June and since Ruby does obidience she would be a quick study.

Then you'll have more time to (attempt to) fix my handling :thumbsup::mad

Daisy is pooped and didn't bark on the way home at all :rofl:

Thank you so much for all your time this afternoon Sandi, especially as I'm quite sure I talked your ear off :mad:)

I've shown mum some pics of your tollers and she really likes them :(

:rofl: I think Kenz needs to join the remedial sit stay training so I think since Scoota is the oldest we shall blame him for having words to all these younger dogs who think dropping is a good idea :thumbsup: .

I would love to spend a week with you Huski - picking on you morning noon and night - you might hate me at the end of it but by George your handling skills will have improved :eek:

I thought I was going to need to check your bum bag before you got in the car to go home - just in case you had kidnapped Scoota :eek:

Thanks for letting me have a play with Daisy - she is a delight :rofl: Now I want to see a video of your finishes sometime soon :eek:

PS I am coming back in November :)

I don't think they can get much worse that's for sure :eek:

:) He was SO lovely, I swear if my mum met him we'd have a Toller in the house tomorrow :(

Absolutely :thumbsup: Oh and I think that's the first time Daisy's ever been called a delight :mad:rofl:

PS I am coming back in November :rofl:

We might have our CCD by then :rofl: I will be in Perth December/January too.

:) You know I wouldn't! I won't even enter Millie into CCD :(

But with any luck, I might be getting some experience (and fun!) handling someone else's dog :eek:

:thumbsup: She can be at some things, and I do find she is picking this agility thing up quickly (at least based on my limited experience), but Ptolomy is right and I did know that all along, so we'll be waiting a while! :mad Poo though! It's much more fun than walking circuits of take lead to end, walk back, take next lead to end, walk back :):rofl:

Then I expect to meet this so called evil beagle!!! :thumbsup:

Oh no, she's definitely 100% evil beagle :(

Daisy probably will not be coming - my Dad and his family are coming over from the UK for Christmas/January so it will be a non-dog related holiday. Although I am sure I can squeeze in a DOL related meet up, if anyone wants to meet me minus the Evil Beagle :rofl:

ETA. RubyStar I should lend you Ness to run if I ever get my act together to get over to WA - she is sooooo easy and reliable :thumbsup: .

Jedi's next trial is Anzac Day, but he's a lot itchier than usual at the moment, so not holding my breath. :thumbsup:

Beans was in melt down when I left after picking up some foreign food which she was obviously allergic to. Within 24 hours she had ripped holes in her chest inner thigh and foot and was continually scratching poor baby. It is now a case of waiting for it to pass and managing the syptoms as best we can. So I really really know what you are talking about.

Best of luck on Anzac day - any chance of increasing the anti-histamines for 48 hours to see if that helps?

He's not on anti-histamines - they never worked for him unfortunately. He's only on his immunotherapy at the moment. The last cortisone tablet he had was over a month ago because he was doing so well and I'm not really supposed to give him any at the moment because he's about to see his dermatologist and he needs to see how the immunotherapy is going without the interference of the steroids. I'll just see how he goes - if he's really bad before the trial I'll give a tablet just to take the edge off. One tablet doesn't really change what his skin is doing so the dermatologist said that was okay.

I'm taking Banjo to agility training again since everyone else is having such a fun time with it :thumbsup: . I don't know if he'll ever be up to trial standard but it'll be fun and it'll train me for my next dog.
