Rally Obedience

Tyler and I when he got his RN last summer, what a good boy!


Is a great sport. Tyler loves it and has his RN (Rally Novice title) and I teach one night a week.

We both get a lot out of it; agility is great and is a blast, but Rally is calmer and it is very rewarding to see your dog learn new moves every week.

Toby, on the other hand, does not seem as motivated to learn Rally as his big brother is - and he is so little that it is hard to treat him while heeling! He does love agility though, funny little dog that he is.

Home from Tofino


We just came home from Tofino and had a great time - it was too bad that the dogs couldn't come with us this trip; they sure do love Tofino.


This sign is all over Tofino and is not very reasuring!


We saw a lot of eagles


And a momma bear and her two cubs - they were a little close for comfort, but she didn't bother us, and we didn't bother her!

All in all, it was a great holiday. It was a lot of fun catching up with old friends, and going on vacation with my parents is great. We are planning on going back in the spring to watch some storms, with the dogs this time. They did miss us, it was nice coming home to see them!

The Strike is Over!

Back to work on Tuesday; I am on holidays so back to work on Friday for me!
Toby has hurt his eye - he cut his cornea. Thank god for our Aunt J. who was at work when it happened - she made room for Toby and he got an appointment. (Our regular vet was booked up, which makes me a bit angry as he really needed to see a vet this afternoon)
We are off to Tofino for four days with my family and old friends. We love it there as that is where we got married.

Strike, Day 10

My little dog is more popular than me. I left him in the car while I set up my strike chair, only to hear: "where is Toby?" from my fellow picketers! Too funny. He sure likes the attention he gets down and ye' ol' picket line.
Hopefully when we get home from Tofino next week the strike will all be over. At least it isn't raining out and is nice and sunny. I have quite a nice picket line tan going!
