What A Week!

Last weekend we had the last ADAA trial of the year. We had some knocked bars and wrong courses but both the girls and I had a BLAST!!!

Epic gained her AAD title and a HUGE rosette :-)

My first run of the night was with Liryk in Combined Starters Agility and it was one of those runs you'd like to run over and over it was so much FUN! I don't know what it is about ADAA but I just don't seem to dwell so much on what to do with the obsticle after the d/w, and it's not like it was a jump "straight" after it either, there was enough of a push to the jump to require you to be up there to handle it. And I managed to get there and she NAILED her contact!!! It's sooooooooooooo exciting to run when it works!! :-D Unfortunately she tried to jump the second last bar with one stride from the previous jump and it didn't go well. DOH!! One bar but EXTREMELY happy with how well she ran!! Thanks to John for videoing!!!



Tuesday I finally managed to put together a video of Edge's tricks so far. At one point I really felt like we were going to fall WAY behind in Silvia Trkmans course, Edge really struggled working out how to pivot and even walk backwards, but we got there in the end :-) and now we get to move onto new things!!


His legs are forever growing and he's getting much longer in the body now too, we've definitely reached that gangly stage!! He's not far behind Liryk in height now, and at only 17wks it'll be interesting to see how big he actually grows :-)
Edge has SUCH a smiley face!! Poor Liryk looks discusted that she has to sit next to him LOL

Wednesday I got to pick up my new car!!! Having four dogs has been a little tricky to squish into the old Hyundai Wagon and Clint finally relented and said we could upgrade :-D It's a 2006 Commodore Station Wagon and I really, really can't believe how much room there is!! It easily fits three crates as well as a passenger in the back......or a 4th dog!! LOL Jeddy LOVES that he's the only one NOT in a crate!!

Then Wed, Thurs and Frid we've been renovating our bathroom. It's been going on for the last 3wks or so, a day here and there. But I have a friend coming to stay next weekend so we really needed to get our butt into gear so she wasn't going to be bathing in the dog pool!! 3/4 of the tiling is done, just the floor and shower to go, then in goes the new vanity and shower screen YAY!!! I can't wait!! And I really need to say a HUGE THANKYOU to my dad, uncle and husband who have done an AWESOME job so far!!!
