i adore st. bernards, and that one is just spectacular!

desmond has been told he maybe can’t be in an upcoming group obedience class because of his reactivity. 🙁

This is amazing! I love the video… I had such a big smile on my face while watching it.

Sometimes it would be so nice to not have any clue that someone thinks I can’t do or am not suited to something. Going in without other people’s negative expectations weighing on my mind would make such a difference!

I had a grin on my face from beginning to end. There’s a dog that’s in no hurry to get anywhere! I particularly liked those weaving poles – hope I got the right name – all I know about agility, I learnt from Shiva 😉

As for myself, I spent all of last week doing what everyone tells me is a ridiculous thing to do at my age and had a great time. So there!

Oh Pamela. I LOVED this! I am just so sorry it took me so long to get back over here to comment. I hadn’t thought of what a message it sends, but when I watched an agility trial a couple of weeks ago I was amazed by the different breeds of dogs who did agility. Here I was thinking they couldn’t possibly do agility! Ha! Was I wrong!

I watched Dachshunds, Pugs, Yorkies and Poms do agility. I also saw Great Danes and Goldens and the traditional Border Collies and Shelties, but there were two dogs that were my favorites – a deaf Bull Terrier and a Great Dane. You’re right. Saying you can’t is only a mindset – whether it be your own or someone else’s. Great post.

No disrespect to your dad who I don’t know, but he certainly doesn’t know what he’s talking about as far as your writing. You are amazingly successful–in telling great stories, in educating us, and in posting high quality posts on a very prolific schedule. Sounds successful to me. 🙂

That is so sweet! And why not take it slow and steady?

I just love that! What a lesson in life for me. I CAN do it. I need to remember that. I love the way he goes through the weave poles. This really made my day, thank you!

Oh sure! A lot of people think Greyhounds are made of spun glass and can’t be trained for anything. Bunny hikes like a pro and carries her own pack. She did wonderfully in obedience class, too. My dad also told me I’d never be successful as a writer. I think his definition of success and mine are probably different. I’m not making a living at it, but I am doing a lot more with it than I thought I would.

Fabulous! What a super dog and owner :). He is indeed elegant – loved the weave poles. Sending to a Saint friend.
