We share Roc now

Roc has become my buddy! Since Roc's retirement he's home all the time now. And since I decided that there's no point in torturing either Ceilidh or myself with class - new people, new dogs, new stuff to do - I'm home most of the time. So Roc has taken residence on my lap when Hope's not home (and I'm sitting down). Until he sees a commercial that he's particularly fond of. Then he launches himself off the chair, tail up, eyes alight, and starts yapping (usually in mid-air). When the commercial is over (or I tell him to knock it off), he wiggles his butt at me and wants back up. Which I'm happy to do. What a guy. Sometimes he wants to be on my lap even when Hope's home! I'm thinking it's because he can see the TV better from there. - Fran

Dax earned her first title!

Dax (and I) earned her very first Agility title this weekend at the WAG Trial in Spring Grove! Thank you to judge Kathy Humphreys - we had a ball!

We qualified in Novice A Standard.

Dax's registered name is now: Gargoyles What A Trill, NA

On the verge...

Did you ever get the feeling that something is going to happen soon? Don't know what... Don't know when... I have that feeling. Even though my back is killing me (sciatica), Golly's still gone (damn!) and I'm missing Dolphin Research Center's Founders' Weekend for the first time (boo hoo) I feel like something good is iminent! I sure hope that's true. Stay tuned! - Fran

Dogs Playing at Golly Gear

Our friend Emily brought her adorable Keeshonds, Lydia and Whyit, to work (OK, maybe play) in our ring today. Too much fun! Lydia loves to bark while she works and little Whyit is just plain cute! We love it when our dogs have fun, and Emily's dogs definitely have fun! - Fran

Working Girl!

Dax is at Golly Gear today. Work really takes it out of a girl! - Fran

'tis the season

Our dogs have started huddling in a pile next to the heating vent. The vet tells us that it's not good for their fur - it dries them out. But they're so cute! Roc's using Dax as a pillow more now - he's finally figured out that she's useful for something!

Just right!
