Jack and the Beanstalk

Okay so there is no Jack ..... just one mighty BIG beanstalk growing daily before my eyes! In the last two weeks Edge seems to have doubled in size, his legs are soooooooo much longer and I can't believe the length of his tail!! I won't mention his ears because at the moment they too seem to have a life of their own! They currently look like they may have beagle in them!!

He's currently 3 and 1/2 months and I'm hanging out for the next several weeks when his pointy little baby teeth start falling out, because I'm currently getting eaten ALIVE! I'm LOVING his toy drive but SERIOUSLY! Why is it ALL of my dogs go for the bit of toy closest to my hand!! It doesn't seem to matter how long the toy is, they always want the top bit :-/

Aww Mr Longlegged Piranha Pants is sleepin



His tricks are ...hmmm interesting :-D I'm currently trying to get him to cross one paw over the other, the hiccup appears to be, that when he brings his leg "over" the other leg the rest of his body tends to follow and he ends up in a dead dog position! :-P Silly baby dog!!

The other news is, that Liryk gained her Novice Jumping title at the last trial :-D She's sooooo much fun to run!! Novice Agility was a little better for us,  I was considerably more confident going into the ring this time compared to the last few times,(amazing what some training can do!!) even though there was a turn off of the d/w and into a tunnel. She got her d/w (though it was quite high) but she missed her Aframe. Thanks Karen for videoing and sending it through!!







So our issue continues to be turns after the dogwalk....... She's much better if I'm up there and able to "handle" the turn, but she really struggles if I'm caught behind. So...... I'm off to put some video together to send off to the guru Silvia Trkman. I guess as a last resort I can have her do a 2o2o if I get caught behind her.... hmmmm it's just not as much fun.... and it really bugs me that I can't get it :-P

Looking forward to this weekend with Liryk's first Excellent Jumping, hopefully it's not too over her head!!

Either way this is our last ANKC trial of the year (I forgot to enter the Dobe Trial DOH!!) so I'm sure she'll be ready in the New Year :-D
