Random Photo of the Day - 2019 - post yours!

That’s a good picture of two goofy goobers....

Am I close??

 

[Brioddy]

They ARE fairly silly... but very good boys. I was impressed with how willing they were to do things I’d never asked them to before!

A better photo... I told them all to sit and wait, Odyssey is still waiting (she probably couldn’t hear me say GO) Brinks as usual is front of the pack, I told him to put a little more effort into it next time as i don’t think he’s jumping high enough.

How fun! I suspect that if you do some formal agility training, they'd be jumping at 24" which is what Rubie jumps at. She's been known to clear the wings of the jumps if she's coming toward it awkwardly

Rubie not ready for another week. Moo, on the other hand, is always all smiles!

I did a little bit of research and since Rio is nearly 25” and Brinks at almost 29”, I’d say they’d definitely be in the 24” division! I think it’d be a lot of fun to eventually pursue but for now I will work on them at home. I think I may even make some legit jumps, lol! This may be from my equestrian background but after watching a number of different trials, I couldn’t help but think how much more interesting it would be if natural and unique courses were integrated sort of like cross country. Water features and brush jumps, giant logs, hills, some oxers... oh the possibilities!

I think plans for PVC jumps are relatively easy to find on-line and really, that's all any competition jump is. Some just have flags or brighter tape hahahaha. The cups to hold the cross bars in place might be a specialty thing but certainly not hard to find.

And I feel like water features and brush would be more a danger for the humans than the dogs

We definitely have a lot of snow on the ground this year so it should make for an interesting snow pile contest.

 

[GennyB]

It's done nothing but rain, snow or sleet for days. Making backyard is mostly a slushy mud pit. That limits outside time for the dogs. The girls were going crazy romping around so my smart boy found a hiding place before he got in trouble for wrestling in the house.

That time of year for Spend Summaries for 2018. I think you guys would appreciate my chart.



Home is HUUUGE because we put 15% (split 7.5% from each of us) down on the house. And then a fence. And landscaping. ANNND furniture. But the key takeaway here is: I spent more on my dogs than on myself (Misc Expenses [I call it my Allowance]), Food and Dining (which is groceries, lunch, the occasional bar tab), Education (Student Loans), or Other (which is anything that doesn't fall into my other 6 categories). Auto and Transport beat out the dogs because I had a $4300 repair bill last year. Otherwise, they would've exceeded what I spend on gas and oil changes (it's paid off). It's good to be a dog!

Funny how they can just walk around with it draped over them like that.

Mom, will you play with me?



Pleeeeease?

 

[Brioddy]

Buddy is so adorable!

 

[jazzies mum]

Would anyone like some of our heatwave? Jazz and I are over it a bit!
Yesterday evening in the dust hazy last light. Not much energy there!

 

[crypticintent]

Fire!

Moo got all gussied up for our new class tonight! Just Beyond Basics until I convince Dog Dad that barn hunt/agility/rally/etc would be fun

 

[Kaiser2016]

We’re on day 6 of temps that are too cold to be outside. Kaiser has resorted to attacking the carpet. He sleeps with his eyes open these days, he’s soooo bored.

 

[LifeofRubie]

I took too long to throw the ball. Look at little Miss Smug back there



Ready for Take Off!
