Dremel!

Getting back into the habit of dremeling the dogs' nails. I used to do it with my other dogs and have failed to get into it with Eden and Kastle. Then, when I decided it was time, the Dremel battery was dead, not available to buy in any store. Well, it finally came in the mail so I got down to it this week. I'm very pleased with how lovely they look.

Eden has the cutest cankles!

RPM Flyball Tourney Day #2

Singles again for Eden today, she was nervous. The dog she was supposed to be racing (Stewart) did not show up so she was allowed to run against a "courtesy dog", a teammate's dog that she is familiar with. You can see in the video, she gets nervous in between the jumps where the dog from Friday crossed into her but then she realizes it is Phoebe and gets *very* happy. It was wonderful and I was so thankful! :-D She ran her best races today...now I really do need to work on her start times because they're the only thing keeping her from being sub-8! :-D I remember hoping I could get her sub-9 seconds haha Love this little girlie and her heart of gold!
And Di's amazing husband, Ash, got some pics of her too!

RPM Flyball Tourney

Eden ran singles at the RPM flyball tournament in Hastings, MI today. She was feeling pretty spry until her second race when the other dog crossed over and physically dominated Eden's space, not allowing her to continue her run. The dog did not leave until my box loader came and got into her space (thanks Becky!) and Eden felt safe enough to run back to me. She tried to run the next time but the dog crossed early again and Eden totally wilted. I was really, really upset but kept an up-beat, happy tone so that Eden would not think anything was amiss. When she creeped back to me, I took the advice of the sideline judge and ran with her so that she could succeed and end on a happy note while Mom was there to protect her. Poor little Eden :-(
