Quiet weekend

Wow, I actually had a weekend off from everything. Sat. I hit a wall and lounged around all day. My body was loving it, but my mind was hating it!!!! Sat. night Mike and I went out for dinner. We had fun. When we got home we put a movie in and he watched the whole thing while I fell asleep on the couch.
Sunday I went over the the training building and worked on Zedd's contacts on the A- frame. He is still taking extra strides on the down side of the A-frame. I've been running the frame with a jump at the end, and that seems to help his striding. Take away the jump and he's leaping. UGH!!! We then did some jump chutes. He actually did them nicely. Occasionally he dropped a couple bars. He was very tired when we got home. Mike was kind enough to come along and video tape us. That is always helpful.
We got home just in time to watch the Daytona 500. I was disappointed that it was rained out. I'm glad the nascar season has started. Go Kasey Kahn.

beautiful day

I started out my day with taking zeddicus and bunzella (my two border terriers) to the vet for their annual check ups. They were both very well behaved. I was a very proud 4 legged parent. TEE HEE. Afterward I ran some errands and came home and did a little cleaning up around the house. I had spent the last 4 days on a business trip in Las Vegas and my husband was a bachelor for those 4 days. (The house was a little messy, and I spent most of my time in motivational seminars and didn't get to see much of Vegas. UGH!) I then went to agility class with zeddicus. He was a little distracted today. He Kind of wanted to wonder off and sniff the sand. It's a behavior I want to keep a close eye on. His second run was much better. He had some problems with discrimination between the dog walk and the tunnel. I didn't get too bent about it because we have not really worked on any of that. I've set some goals for me and Zedd to work on. 1. His contacts. 2.tighter turning. 3. front crosses. I do wish I could find a skills class for zedd. I work till 8:00pm on Monday nights so Sharon's classes are out and so is Barbs classes at Chester. Maybe I can sch. some privates. I've been wondering. Can you change the location of where the dog takes off for a jump? HUM. I've watched Zedd on video and he seems to take off far from the jump. Like he is launching himself. Well, anyway, when I came home tonight I worked out on the treadmill and then started the relaxation protocol with Zedd.
What fun the day was!!!
