The New Year!

Well I am sure everyone has wondered where we have been! Busy of course! So far 2010 has been a full year, and it is only day 23!!


Well @ new years we packed the dogs up and went camping @ Mustang Island, which is close to Corpus Christi, TX. Had a great time, the girls got to play on the beach and run like the wind, it was fun. Crystal and I went to the Texas Aquarium and the USS Lexington Museum, both fantastic! All in all we had a GREAT time!


Back to work after a couple of long weekends was a little tough but I quickly got back into the swing of things, not that you have much choice when you work where I do! :) But seriously work has been good, busy so the days go by quickly!


Being back to work meant back to regular routine, which also means Agility Class! Pyper and Hallie were really glad to be back in class, they always have such a great time. Hallie has really shown to me that she is ready to do agility. She and Pyper are alot alike but Hallie has the benefit to learn from my experience with Pyper. And it shows! I think she is going to do very well. Can't wait to see how she does in February @ the SHAG show that Mom and Dad are coming too. It's going to be fun!


It looks like we finally have Pypers skin condition under control. Her big bump on her side is almost gone! All it took is a bunch of baths and sponge baths, both of which she is not really fond of, but she deals. Oh yeah, still doing ok with the Cocker Spaniel Grooming. They still look like Cockers! :) So glad.....saves us a bunch of cash on hair cuts and it really isn't that difficult.


On another note, we finished the wedding invitations and they are sent in the mail.....well mostly....got some back already because they did not say CANADA! ugh....oh well guess it will be an ongoing process.


Made a big decision this week. We decided to stop taking Agility lessons @ J-Canine and stop trialing until after the wedding. It was a very difficult decision but one that was necessary. We need to try and save some cash for the wedding. Just going to finish the 2 trials that we are entered into and then that is it. The 2 trials are the GSP (German Short-haired Pointer) trial this weekend and then Flashpaws Trial next weekend, both of which are in Crosby.


We have some exciting news. Pyper got her 3rd Standard Q in AKC which means she got her Novice Standard Title! So Proud. Plus it is Pyper's Birthday today...she's 7. This also means we are moving up to Open Standard. So Exciting. We also got her 2nd JWW Novice A leg today, hoping to get her 3rd tomorrow which would be her title. This would also mean we could move up to Open next weekend. Cross your fingers.



I will try and post again soon so you know if she got her Title.
