A big happy birthday hug to Angela, seen here with a fifth place ribbon for showmanship, at the Empire Extravaganza. She showed Summer Sunset for us and was really great. Now that she's twelve years old we won't be seeing her in the youth division anymore but hope she will think about continuing to show these animals who seem to love her a lot. Now that the bridge (we were calling it the paca-walk because in dog agility we call it's counterpart a dog walk but everyone else calls it a bridge so I guess we will too) is painted and at Rosehaven, along with the teeter, we are really looking foward to warmer, mud free days so we can practice. Only six and a half weeks before North American and we really need to practice.

Happy Birthday again from your birthday pal,

Waiting for spring

There was a hot spell at Rosehaven on Sunday. It was at least in the thirties and the sun was glimmering on the snow. I saw some of the girls pronking around in the snow, as I drove up. It was wonderful to get and give some kisses, even without carrots and apples for them. Summer is waiting for spring to start practicing obstacles.

Here's a preview of the paca-walk, pre paint. The teeter is also done. Really look foward to getting these set up at Rosehaven.
