About every 4 – 5 years we get 3 new chickens. Our chickens die old here. This is the year! 3 little buffs. The dogs vary in their reaction to the newest members of the flock. Ollie is always waiting at the door to go into the garage to watch over them. […]

Things to do with your dogs when you feel like sitting down! G’s first time with having treat on feet. did really well being in the “group”. Only Kahi thought about cheating…once.

G and I continue on with our RC training. It has taken longer than I ever thought it would :). I have been super conservative in training, taking it slow, some times wondering if it will work. I am now cautiously optimistic that G’s understanding is building. Still a ways to go, but hey, we […]
Getting there!

I am so behind! Just realized it’s been over a year since I posted anything, really… a year! Where did it go? So much has changed. We have a new family member… G, or Ginny, or Weasel, or ChiWaa, depending on a given moment. More soon about her. In the meantime, we are about 6 […]

A few weeks ago Indy spent the first time out in the big field. Since I am so novice at this, I thought it a good idea that Ray work with her. This way I could get videos and she could learn :). She is coming along, though I can hardly wait until she figures […]
Kukini UKI Trial

August 3-3, 2013 WOW! This was fun! I love UKI, even if my Q rate was rather low :). Loved the courses… appearing to be fairly easy, only to find challenges in every course. The venue was great!, the weather pretty darn good considering it’s Mt. View :). Laid back, comfortable, relaxed, with occasional wonderful […]

With Ekahi’s back issues, we have turned to tricks to keep his mind and body busy. In this “session” I realized a bunch of stuff… like we are stuck on two steps. I get lazy… now it’s time for me to stand up :).
One step forward, hopefully only one step back!

I really do want to be able to work with Indy with sheep a few times a week, and even that is really not enough for a good solid education (mine) but we seem to only be managing once a week, no matter what my intentions are :). Last week seemed like a step back… […]
Sunday Fun Match in Mountain View
June 25, 2013 By Leave a Comment
It was great to see so many new “teams” out for their first time in a fun match environment, hopefully preparing for the “big shows” :). There were many happy dogs and happy handlers! I had some concerns regarding some of the angles that the “novice courses” provided. Actually many of the courses, even the […]

Last week was Indy’s first time out in the big field. I was so pleased with how she is doing, EXCEPT her thinking she has to go 100 miles an hour. I have the image of how I would like to see her do in my head… liking most of what she’s doing now… but […]
