Parade dogs

Super night last night for the moonlight parade of lights in the Pass. Fyre, Deb's dog, stole the show with her silver battery-operated bows, one on each side of her. She looked like a large butterfly as she moved down the parade route. Mesa and Ryder were a brace with Shar and they looked wonderful. I elected to take the sheltie with me and was glad I did. He was so portable and he had such a good time!

Today at club we had Swayze, Walker, Mesa, Ryder, Swayze, Token and Fyre in conformation, obedience, rally o, and scent hurdle. What a good time and what super dogs they were. We were thrilled with their performances.

Here's hoping they can keep it together at the show next weekend.

Red Deer Results

Great weekend for us at Red Deer. Shar and Ryder are now #6 Rally Obedience team in Canada and gained even more points last weekend. She has Lethbridge and Calgary shows left to compete in and hopefully move even farther up the ladder.
Hunter picked up 2 points towards his Canadian Championship in spite of having me for his handler. What a good boy. Token did okay in scent hurdle and really didn't embarrass me at all. She hates the game and only does it because I ask her.


We head for Lethbridge in two weeks with Hunter in conformation, Swayze in Rally Excellent and Novice Obedience, Token in Scent Hurdle and Drummer and Ryder coming along for the practice afterwards. Should be interesting to say the least and I don't really know how we'll balance it all, but it's nothing new.

Last week we hooked up RoZe and Walker to the large wagon in preparation for our Fort Macleod Santa Parade. They worked wonderfully together. Maureen was going to have her sheltie, Levi, ride in the wagon. Well, since then, Walker has injured his back leg, so we have had to downsize our program and let RoZe pull the cart instead of the wagon. Unless, of course, we can convince Swayze, who has never worn a harness in his life, to assist.

We are going to join the Lethbridge scent hurdle team for a practice this Wednesday and it should be fun for sure.

Then it's the Moonlight Madness parade of lights on Friday night in Blairmore and Dog Club on Saturday. In between, if the weather holds, I intend to take Magic, my standardbred, out for a Fall ride.

And somewhere in the next month or so, I have three dogs to OFA as well. Yikes!

Never a dull moment here.
