Another update....



Hmmmm....not still doing this on a reglar basis yet. Oh well, we are getting there.
New Years Eve was spent with Erik, IngeLise & Lone & a bunch of dogs. We had a really good evening and I was at home in bed by midnight. Next day Bent, Marianne and I had a lovely walk with a zillion shelties and a couple of border collies in Sorø.

The first weekend in January I did nothing. Really and truly nothing.

2nd weekend in January Susanne ( Unique & Spirit ) and I drove up to MyDog in Gøteborg. We stayed in the beautiful hotel Gothia Towers right on top of the halls where the show was held ( obedience, breed, freestyle, agility ). We got up there Friday late and let me tell you - Luna was NOT amused. It was freezing friggin cold ( -17 ) and they had salted all the paths - a lot. So Luna spent most of her walks either refusing to pee or standing on 3 legs. I was lucky to judge in a "block" from 13-18 both days so I had both mornings off. Saturday I did some window shopping - I actually bought nothing!!! Sunday I met up with Lina who also had been on Chicken Camp. She was doing a lecture on problem dogs - really cool - and wonderful to meet friends out of the chicken element :o) I saw the Swedish Freestyle Team doing demo's in the main ring - then it was back to judging.

The past weekend I was up teaching for DCH Støvring. Saturday was 4 hours of "Dog Communication/Hundesprog" and Sunday 4 hours of Clicker Training. Now both 4 hour sessions were basically a lecture - ie. me standing and talking. Jeeeeze not an easy task!!!! I now really respect people who can do that - and will not be doing that in the near future - I was pooped out both days when we hit 13.00 ! I willsay that I really enjoyed the weekend and Soda was my perfect demo dog on Sunday. On the way home I drove by Pia who has the Woogi/Carson litter. They were 7,5 weeks old and we wanted to decide which bitch pup was going to who. They were all SCRUMPTIOUS.

Here is a short clip from Chicken Camp. I have finally figured out how to edit the videoes....
