June 1-2, 2013 – Didn’t have to travel far for this :). What an incredible weekend (despite a bit of rain and that darn buzzing mosquito on Saturday night)! Elicia was wonderful, the learning refreshing. I was surprised that more of our island’s agility community was not there to learn from this knowledgeable, insightful instructor… […]
Since OIDA and BIA decided against bringing over seminar presenters for 2013, I decided it was time to go explore on my own! I am going to try to document my experiences. This is the first time I have played agility away from my home island. I am excited and hope that you enjoy the process as much as I am! We have had some great teachers come to our island in the past (Stacy being one of them :).
Update: Yep, nothing to compare it to. Besides the learning from the instructors, I am learning so much watching the other participants! Having a blast!

Time management seems to have been thrown out the window! Which […]

9-6-2012. The flight to Seattle was uneventful and relaxed. Leslie lent me a great book to read… The Art Of Racing In The Rain… yes, I was crying on the plane. I have herding videos and agility videos on my iPad plus some good audio books. Nowhere to go, nothing to do, I realized I […]
