Gotta' LoVe the 1st Week of July!


(Air show photo via iPhone! Wow eh?)

1 Week - 2 Holidays !!

July 1 - Canada Day!
4th of July - American Independence Day!
This year that means long weekends at each end for us! Yippeee!!!

I guess it's a good thing when you're too busy training & living to write on your blog, but that's been the case the last week or more. We had a really terrific Canada Day long weekend - 3 days of yard work and 1 day of play. We all had a great, long & sunny day, visiting, boating & swimming at a friend's lakeside cottage, with Bungee even trying her skill at some Dock Diving!! (Pictures next post.) Classes were closed for 2 days this week. We only got to Bungee's agility class last night and a private this morning for each of the dogs. Both were welcome fun - the dogs definitely do not like being kept away from school!

Training is moving along on all the basics. This week we will re-visit our Susan Salo jump work for both dogs. As that takes at least 15 jumps to set up, this work limits me from setting up other things while it's going.

Meanwhile excavation and expansion of our laneway has finally begun, the 1st of bigger & better improvements to come.

On a personal note, this seems to be a season to fight the feeling of frustration of not trialing more than we have. But, "To everything there is a season" they say, and faith tells me there is a reason somewhere, (which does not yet mean I have a clue what that reason is!) Somehow we manage to stay busy as ever and just as on-the-go, go figure.

One thing is certain, Bungee and I are going to have a LOT of fun when we finally get there! In fact, we're having a LOT of fun anyway right now!

Happy 4th of July to all!

We have another long weekend to enjoy now too with July 4th upon us and this one is all play!

Best Wishes to everyone for success & fun in all your trials!
Happy Training ~ Hugs to all the dogs!

...and remember: It's About Love!
