Introducing…

MACH2 Wyndridge Royal Independance!!!!  MACH Princess Indy is owned and loved by Carol and Gary Weiner.  Indy is Carol’s first agility dog, they started training in agility here in Connecticut, “just for fun”.  At least that is what Carol told me, and,  fun they did have!!  This amazing team went all the way from Novice A, to earning a MACH before moving south to sunny Florida!   

Today, Carol and Indy completed their MACH2 at the Sarasota Obedience Club’s agility trial, in Palmetto, FL.  We are soooo very proud of  the two of you, and are especially happy to be able to share in the joy of your achievement!!!

You go girl(s)!!!

Another big snow storm, and another snow day….

The latest storm dumped just over 2 feet of snow on us in the last 24hours!  News reports said this is the biggest snow fall in 24hours since the blizzard of 1888 when 30inches fell in 24hours.  There was an accumulation of 30inches reported in a town just a few miles away from us. 

Shoveling and snow blowing took a lot of time, but, the snow day today also gave me the chance to take a few new photos of Cocoa.  She is 9 months old today.

Now XXX rated!

For this weekend’s trial we were back up in New Hampshire at American K9 for a trial held by the Agility Club of New Hampshire.  The dogs put in some nice runs.   Bitti is coming along nicely, she is really consistent on course! Robbie had a really nice run in JWW and won the 16″ Excellent B JWW class on Sunday.  He also won the FAST Excellent A class, that gave him the third leg need for his Excellent Fast title.  So he is now “triple X rated”<ggg> because he has his MX MXJ and now XF titles!
