So Much To Do ..... So Little Time

Well in less than two weeks I'm off again overseas. This time my husband Clinton is coming and we'll be away for four weeks. And our trip will include the UK and Florida.


For me, most of my time in Florida will revolve around doggie things :-)) I'm going to a three day competition and straight after I'll be attending a 6 day agility camp. Again I have a working spot, though this year I'll be handling TaxMan, who I introduced in a earlier blog entry last year.


The other thing I'm REALLY excited about with this trip is, on our way back home we stop back into London for 3 days. AND TO MY SHOCK!!!! AND OVERWHELMING EXCITEMENT...... Crufts will be on!!! :-D We have brought tickets already (there was NO WAY I wanted to miss out) and we'll be attending on Saturday 12th March. I wanted to go on this day, as the International Agility will be held, and Daisy Peel has been selected to represent the US. This is exciting for me because she has a running dogwalk with her dog Solar and I can't wait to see what it looks like for REAL rather than on a video :-))


There has been some essential shopping prior to our trip ...... I've just got an IPad!!! Which is sooooooooooo much FUN!!! and the plus is it weighs barely nothing, so for traveling it's ideal!!! And I still get to see my dogs via Skype while away :-))


Clint has got a fancy new camera that takes photos AND video :-)) Yes you can see where this is going right?? An agility persons dream :-))


The other thing that has been ordered is ....... my......brand ..... new ....... DOGWALK!!!! Hopefully it will be ready by the time I get back home :-))


Through all the excitement though, in the back of my head I'm FREAKING out about Liryk not having any dogwalk training for up to 5 weeks. I've put so much work into it I'll be slightly disappointed if she's forgotten everything by the time I come home. Which I'm sure won't happen, but it's an inner fear all the same.


The other thing that's happened is I've put my name down for selection for the Australian WAO Team. I have no expectation's about how Epic and I will go, particularly as I'll only have been home for a week before the selection trials AND Epic will have had no training for 4 weeks, so fitness will be a BIG challenge. BUT WHAT IF???? Wow what a chance of a lifetime. So I've entered :-))


I'm still addicted to Windows Movie Maker :-))
So on the off chance Liryk's running dogwalk goes down the gurgler, I've put together a video from when we first started training the plank to her amazing training session a couple of weeks ago on a full size baby dogwalk.
