I finally got organised enough this year to book the day off work and headed off to the Cheshire Show. Accompanied by Guinness & my Mum, we entered the show into the Countryside Experience Area and quickly hurried away from the … Continue reading
You can only be lost if you are aiming for a destination. If you stop worrying about where you’ll end up, you’ll no longer be lost. I wrote that today while walking around a woodland I’d never been to before. I … Continue reading
When a friend invited me along to Bolesworth International Horse Show this year for a birthday get together I didn’t hesitate to say yes. I thoroughly enjoyed it last year and although wasn’t planning on going this year (more due to … Continue reading
For the last few weeks Guinness and I have both been trying out our own fitness trackers. I went for the FitBit Charge HR and Guinness has been using the Tractive Motion Sensor, currently the first and only pet tracker … Continue reading
On Sunday 7th June hundreds of farms opened their doors (or more like gates) and invited everyone and anyone to come and visit a farm, learn more about where your food comes from and have some fun! Completely free of … Continue reading
Yesterday I rocked up to the Dig It UKA Camping Show. I hadn’t entered and wasn’t camping as I have so much going on, but I’d got a free day so went along to help, take some photographs and perhaps … Continue reading
I’ve half-heartedly been trying to get fit for a while, and whether he likes it or not Guinness has been coming along for the ride. This weekend we were on it! Saturday I dusted off my bike after a month … Continue reading
I’ve been reading a lot of hype about Pinterest recently so I’ve decided to embrace it and have a go. You can check out my page of pins here: http://pinterest.com/dogoddity I’ve started off a little collection of my favourite places to … Continue reading
For competitors, Bank Holidays often mean long weekends at agility shows. For me this weekend has been for catch-ups, romance, shopping and today… walking! After two busy days with Ash I now have two days alone with Guinness, and I decided … Continue reading
On Sunday 17th May, still recovering from a very dodgy tummy the day before, and being fuelled by only a few mouthfuls of cornflakes, I rocked up to my first show of the year! Not just the year, but our … Continue reading
Looking at the ring plan and my running orders for Adams on Sunday and it appears that both my classes will be running at the same time. It also looks like both of my classes will be after lunch. Now … Continue reading
So much fun!
Me and Guinness are spending the weekend on the farm again. This morning we went to hang out with Ash while he fed the calves and moved cattle. Guinness got to ride in the back of the Kubota and I sat … Continue reading
Next weekend we have our first show since injury last year! We have entered 1 Agility and 1 Jumping and I have 3 goals for the show… Waits – At least one nice, confident start line wait with a lead … Continue reading
Not a chore. Not a battle. It should be engaging, pleasurable, beneficial. So many dogs are rehomed because they are “not useful” to their owners. Is your dog useful? Do you get something out of having your dog? We all … Continue reading
Yesterday I attended the Pet Dog Training Instructors (PDTI) National Conference with guest speaker John Rogerson. I’d not heard of John Rogerson before and didn’t know anything about him, but the topics really interested me and the price was good … Continue reading
I don’t often drive somewhere to walk Guinness as I have ample fields for him to run in nearby plus the Satline a short walk away if we prefer a less-muddy walk or cycle. However I love to take the short … Continue reading
The answer is Hell No! I’ve had so much to blog about I’m afraid letting you know about our agility training had to take a bit of a back seat! The good news is we are back at it, big … Continue reading
If I could pick anywhere to live I would definitely choose a woodland or forest. I feel most at home amongst the trees and soil, covered by a canopy of leaves with patches of sunshine (or more often spots of rain) … Continue reading
I’ve been working on this video for a couple of months now and I’m so excited to have it finished. It’s exactly how I want it! My first movie project of 2015 and the start of a new phase of … Continue reading
