Text of the page (random words):
going to stress over it she ll get it at some point likely next weekend although she certainly did have that weekend at hounds where she only got two jww q s which probably wouldn t net us 23 points meh kaiser celebrated his birthday on tuesday he is now seven years old wow that is so hard to believe this officially earns him his veteran status in nadac that means that if i run him as a skilled veteran dog he can now run 4 hmm that might be fun i m presently trying to decide if i want to do nadac at home the last weekend of january or go to the usdaa trial in madison i ll need to figure that out soon i m tempted to do nadac just to see what happens when i run kaiser at 4 there s also that temptation of champs being back in il this year and figuring i should probably have a few nadac q s before signing up and kizzy kind of needs to get out of novice open too today we celebrated luke s 11th birthday i was head over heels into my horse life when i got luke but i ve always loved dogs and felt like i needed a companion in my life he very much enjoyed accompanying me to the barn every day and to work but he was eventually the catalyst that led to me leaving the horses behind and getting sucked into this world of agility couldn t have asked for a better first dog to celebrate luke s birthday and kaiser s earlier in the week i suppose we went for a nice hike this afternoon out on the trail it was in the upper 20 s and we still have no snow what could be better i m sure we ll get snow eventually but i m going to enjoy it for now this weekend should be pretty quiet hopefully we can get out and play some more i m going to see about getting secret in for another chiro appointment before our trial next weekend so saturday might be our best shot at that i figure if it s going to be her big weekend then we may as well make sure she s feeling her best looking back 2014 was a great year for us i can only hope that 2015 brings more of the same posted by karissa at 4 23 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday december 28 2014 qq 20 well here we are today in oshkosh secret earned her 20th qq alas there was no grabbing of a bar or a victory lap that followed because we have not yet hit our 750 points o we re close coming into the weekend we were 80 points shy so i knew that no matter what happened there was no way that this would be a mach weekend forty points per run is a bit out of reach for us secret tried hard though and knocked out 32 of those points which means now we have just 48 to go we can do that in one more qq and a standard run so we ll have to see what happens the courses today weren t overly challenging but nor were they completely boring poor secret was only out of the van about 10 minutes before she had to run this morning so considering that the nine points she brought home on that run was pretty good kaiser was stuttering more than i like on his first run but his second one was quite a bit better unfortunately he came back out of the 5 tunnel in standard after several dogs took a very long time to come out of said tunnel so i can t help but wonder if there wasn t something in there no matter the little turd left the table early after that anyhow kizzy gave it a good go in excellent jww we were good until she squirted behind my back when i tried oh so very hard to make sure i presented the 15 tunnel with me on the inside then i think she missed the second to last jump because i was running the inside line and didn t really beat her to it kizzy did super in her open standard class she ran the whole thing flawlessly for a 100 point 1st place q her first in open standard maybe she ll hit exc masters in everything one day yet o she was such a good girl and stopped on her dog walk teeter and did the table weaves on the first try i don t have video from the trial today but we did get to play at home again the day after christmas it was 44 degrees outside normally i don t do agility at home so close to a trial but who could pass up that opportunity i replaced the weaves with the table since i figured most of the dogs could use that practice before the trial we lucked out and missed the snow that passed by yesterday just a half hour to hour away they got several inches and we got nothing at home likewise there is nothing over here in oshkosh so the trip over was easy going i stayed to help at the trial so we didn t get to the hotel until nearly 5 00 this hotel is right on a golf course and of course the golf course is closed this time of the year so we enjoyed a fun walk around part of the course before coming in to settle for the night the dogs thought that was especially fun since they spent the last several hours of the day in the van kaiser and kizzy both spent the day crated in the van today because there wasn t room for me to bring both crates inside this morning tomorrow s trial is quite small so i brought in a second crate and moved everything together before i left today it s supposed to be quite a bit colder tomorrow or else i d enjoy the peace and quiet and leave them outside again tomorrow who knows we ll see how kizzy does posted by karissa at 3 49 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday december 25 2014 merry christmas merry christmas everyone the holidays are in full swing here the dogs and i just spent the morning at my parent s house and i ll be returning there shortly everything went pretty well today considering there were eight people and eight dogs present secret is the only concern in my pack as she doesn t put up with anything from other dogs and my brother s two female dogs are stupid enough to challenge secret until she puts them in their place that happened with daisy basset hound pretty quick daisy is old and also just wants to be left alone so they were fine after that their cocker spaniel is less savvy though and after several hours together secret finally snapped at her only feelings were hurt but the point was made it s actually pretty impressive that this was the only snafu in the 4 hours that we were all there together the two klee kai did great and kizzy was her usual loveable self luke just wants to be by everyone and he s a happy camper the most impressive feat of the day was when we managed to get a family picture with all 16 of us we have never attempted this before there was no planning that went into it so it s a bit haphazard but still pretty awesome that we pulled it off my dogs will get chewies and new stuffies when i get home later this evening and they also got a couple cans of special dog food that i served up yesterday and will add to their dinner later tonight merry christmas to them i picked up a few more things for the hotel this weekend too we ll lay low the next couple of days the weather is supposed to be clear but colder so we ll try to get out on the trail for a hike each day then sunday we re off to play in oshkosh posted by karissa at 11 51 am 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday december 21 2014 i m dreaming of a brown christmas actually it s not even that brown i will be the absolute last person you hear lamenting about lack of snow at christmas time i ll never understand people who are all like it can go away right away but i would like to have snow for christmas why what makes a silly holiday better because there is snow guess what there was snow at thanksgiving good enough call it good for the year and be done with it last weekend the last of our november snow disappeared sadly along with the 50 degree temperatures came quite a bit of mud so we weren t really able to do much or play agility last weekend the temperatures dropped this past week and everything froze back up again that means we kind of have the best of both winter worlds at the moment no snow and no mud the ground is a bit hard but i figured i wouldn t let that stop me i was home on friday burning up a day of vacation at work and i couldn t resist setting up what is likely our last happy hurdle day exercise of 2014 secret was being kind of a poo head i went through three toys in her first session because she was struggling with the first weave entry and despite trying hard to keep my energy up i kept getting the woe is me face from her when i went to restart i finally gave up and ran her again at the end and i finally got a nice run out of her the little dogs did pretty well no real trouble spots to speak of though kizzy s first weave entry was far from tight luke got to chase his jolly ball around the yard while i put stuff away o secret had her yearly wellness visit with our regular vet on friday and then a chiro visit on saturday so she just got to be a little social butterfly with everyone she was totally messed up at the chiro so i m glad i squeezed this appointment in before our trial next weekend i did finally get confirmations and we did get in for sunday and monday but sunday was close to filling so we just made it today i had to go in to teach class at petco but that wasn t until 2 00 so i made sure to get out with the dogs and go hiking out on the bike trail it was 38 degrees today this is the kind of winter i can take we went just shy of 4 miles today and everyone thought it was loads of fun i figured i definitely owed it to them because i was kind of a lump yesterday and didn t do much aside from secret s chiro appointment then i used that as an excuse because i figured she should lay low after her adjustment right right so yeah we needed to get out today aside from that we ve been pretty lazy this weekend that s okay lazy is good it s christmas week i ve only got 2 1 2 days at work and then i m off for five days at least two of those days are at an agility trial or i wouldn t know what to do with myself i can t believe 2014 is almost over posted by karissa at 4 59 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday december 13 2014 more decals i went a little crazy with the decals when i first got my van earlier this year god forbid anyone think it s a mom mobile so i covered it in agility related decals to show that it s a dog mobile o plus it distinguishes it from all the other vans in the parking ramp and it stick out at agility trials too on top of that they make me smile and that s why i love them i still have a lot of open window space available for more decals but i never really settled on anything i felt i needed to have i designed all of my original decals and just hadn t spent any time coming up with other designs i like i do still want personalized decals for each of the dogs i ll get there eventually in the mean time i ve always known that this set of agility stick figures existed because i saw them when i was getting ideas for creating my own designs they are super cute someone posted a picture of them on my facebook page around thanksgiving and since i was spending so much money around black friday anyhow i went ahead and made an order on small business saturday figure i could support this small business right they are from inky dinky dax designs btw they arrived the next week but i knew from earlier experiences that there are ideal weather conditions for applying decals to glass and below freezing weather is definitely not ideal the weather has been pretty consistently below freezing since i got the decals so i just sat on them waiting for a day when i could apply them and hoped i wouldn t be waiting until spring we are having a warm spell this weekend where it s getting in the 40s it s a little damp out but i figured now is as good a time as any i ended up putting them on the driver s side sliding door i figured that way i will see them often and get to enjoy them they would have fit on the back panel but it would have run right into the klee kai agility decal so this location seemed best for the amount of space it took up this is the first time i ve actually applied them myself so go me i think it turned out super cute things are quiet here until after christmas which is probably a good thing i sent off a last minute literally entry to a trial in oshkosh the weekend after christmas i entered sunday and monday yes it s a 3 day trial that runs sat mon and swapped around one of my days off at work for this month it closed on wednesday and i didn t get entries in the mail until monday i ended up having to send it next day air 20 to make sure it got there in time apparently they don t have 2 day mail so it was that or priority which wouldn t have gotten there until thursday sigh i m hoping we are in apparently the trial secretary is down at the akc invitationals and won t be able to finish putting in entries until she gets home this next week i didn t have time to email to make sure there were openings ahead of time oshkosh doesn t typically fill so fingers crossed otherwise our next trial is the lakeland trial down in madison in january posted by karissa at 3 36 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday december 6 2014 hounds trial update this was our second time attending the hounds for the holiday trial hosted by cream city canines over in milwaukee this is the largest trial we have in this area running 3 rings for 4 days last year we just drove over for one day friday this year i am burning up vacation and don t have anything local for a while so we signed up for thursday and friday i figured those would probably be days with lower entries plus thursday started slightly later allowing for an easier drive over also who can say no to two days of agility followed by a weekend to recover i admit i was disappointed when i saw this snoozer of a master jww course i had hoped that a trial this size would have funner judges that bring challenging courses zzzzzz that said considering that this was kizzy s first time in excellent and her first time dealing with an environment like this i was okay with it secret was in the first group to run she put in a very nice run right up to the end where i beat her to the tunnel on the off side and stopped so she nearly stopped as well we probably killed at least a second there but it wasn t a refusal so she got a q and 12 points i think she ended up in like 6th place or something kaiser was awesome i have just come to assume that his first day of jumping is going to absolutely suck so i was happily surprised to see him just go flying out of the gate i was so happy to see him having fun and not stressing at all he won his group by several seconds with 17 points kizzy was a rock star for her first go at excellent i avoided rear crossing that last tunnel by running the inside line on that last loop of jumps somehow i barely made it and managed to keep her pushed into the jumps and since she also managed to hit her weaves on the first try that means that kizzy q d in her first excellent jww run her time was on...
