and Geisha turns 1 1/2

recently spayed (one of the brithday gifts for Kenzo) she could only be on leash in the park, so why not testing her focus on a little stacking exercise...

Happy Birthday Kenzo!!!

Our boy turned 4 today :) It was a wonderful sunny day! We had a relaxing morning on the couch, the dogs enjoyed turkey neck for lunch and then we headed for some fun in the park: impressive dance moves racing to the ball
being a bit funny can't hurt ;) and relaxing in the sunlight
We hope all his siblings had a likely fun day!

this weekend

we moved from the comfy couch onto the exciting race field :)
Geisha got ASFA certified on Saturday (part of the run video - in yellow) and we decided to enter both the next day as the weather forecast looked promising. After a fabulous 1st run (video for Part1 + Part2 in pink), the newbie got hit and fell at the first turn in run 2. A bit confused what just happened she didn't follow right away, visited the judge and would have come back, but the lure and the 2 competitors came around and immediately she picked up again. I was very glad she did this and finished with a lot of enthusiasm :) Kenzo had an OK 1st and a solid 2nd run in yellow. (video Part1) Unfortunately our running mate caught the bags in the first run... Kenzo made a death-roll when he came there and ended up completely tangled in the stopped lure and bags. A re-start followed (video Part2). In run 2, he was the one who stopped the run with a catch (same spot) and another re-start :) It seamed like it wasn't the best day for us, so we didn't take any chances and forfeited for a 4th place.

OH NO

we squeezed and tried, but to be honest... I grew up a bit & my beloved cow-snugglie doesn't fit anylonger :(
at the reunion someone else could use it though :)

Responsible Dog Ownership Day Harrisonburg

We were really lucky that it was only cloudy and didn't rain. Many found their way to the Rockingham County Fairground to get to know some sports, socialize their dogs, have some fun in various competitions and meet a couple breeds. Best thing: Sharyn was there with my baby's momma Juliet and lovely Siren :)

As we were in Harrisonburg already, we decided to do some more agility training aterwards: even Geisha remembers some things from training
