I have been slacking on updating my own website, so let me give an update of what has been going on since then. First, my good friend and website editor looked over my website, and fixed it to sound better. She also made sure all words were spelled correctly. Lord knows I have horrible spelling, but at least I have it checked. I also have a video up of Shaine and Ellie working agility yesterday. We were working on a little distance, go-out, and switch back. It was Ellie's first time to jump 16", so she was a little hesitant to try it, but she did well. Now we need to work on consistency. What we really need is to get her in an agility class, but we are going to have to wait until fall to get into it so it's cool enough. I may as well get Shaine in it too so we can get our kinks worked out. He's confident in the video, but if you see in the December Paw Prints trial, you'd see he's not as confident anywhere else. I also need to buy a set of jumps to travel everywhere with to practice. Soon.
I recently bought a wooden tack box. I expect it to be here in about a week's time. I also bought some Brown Sugar Baby powder, though I haven't gotten any information on the transaction going through...
EDIT: I JUST GOT SHAINE'S PICTURE! YAY!

Agility/Conformation/Obedience
Lately I've been making new friends. It is a possibility I will be getting a bi-blue puppy girl from a kennel I highly respect and admire. If by some miracle she is mine for the taking, I will do my darnedest to travel the 22.5 hours one way by car to pick her up myself. Of course, this is a lot of dreaming, and there are a lot of factors to add into the equation.
I have also been training more in the performance venues, excluding herding. I had to Jerry-Rig three sequence jumps out of cinder blocks and broom sticks. You gotta do what you gotta do to get by. Mom is giving me a set of her weaves that she rarely uses any more. YAY! I also need to buy some wood to make a contact trainer for Ellie. She's been doing well with what little we have to work with. I'll get some video up later, and I'll try to get some pictures. I might need help to do that, but it's worth a shot.... ERIN!!!!! X~D
I have two conformation shows coming up that I will definitely be entering Shaine and Ellie. I also have two agility trials coming up next month, but I think I'll only enter the three-day trial in Ft. Worth. Whether I enter all three days depends on who else will be going. It also depends on if Terry (my wonderful husband) will take off work that Thursday and Friday. I have no obedience trials coming up yet. I'm only training for now. Ellie is ready to get her RN, but I want to perfect it before it is actually put into action.
Luckily, the majority of this blog is set on more than just wishful thinking. :) I WILL be at those shows, darn it.
You know, between this blog and the last, I prefer this one. It actually has a spell check, though it keeps saying conformation is spelled wrong, and it's suggestion is exactly the same. Another thing is I cannot add music to the HTML like I did with the other one. I could add it to a post on ever page. I suppose it's never going to be exactly right.
