Paul bought a gazebo for the deck. He and Catherine assembled it on Saturday. Looked pretty good.
And then came the storm
Oh yes, and the internet has been down at home since yesterday afternoon. Damn the weather.
It's June
June already. Time’s just flying by! I’ve been so busy I forgot to write up all the recent happenings.
First there was the Ontario Regional Championships just outside London. Both the girls managed to qualify for Nationals. It wasn’t pretty – especially Tanja’s runs. But we made it and we’re off to Sussex, New Brunswick in August!! Highlights were a 6th and a 4th in Jumpers for Tanja and a 10th in 26″ Jumpers for Tyra.
Then there was my advanced judging assignment at Dreamfields on 30th May. Seemed to go ok. Courses all ran well and no unforseen traps, which I was pleased about.
Barbeque season
It’s barbeque season again. Today, Collonade, the building managers held a barbeque for the tenants. Pretty good actually. The usual fare, burgers & hotdogs, but also fries and for afters, and ice cream sandwich. Guess I’ll be going to the gym tonight after all :-p
Happy Birthday Tanja!
Nine years old today!
BDOC HiT of HiTs
Today and tomorrow are the Bytown Dog Obedience Club obedience trials at the Fred Barrett arena on the corner of Bank & Leitrim. New place from last year.
Tonight is the prestigious HiT of HiTs (Competition for High in Trial of all the Highs in Trial from 2007). I’ll be there all evening taking candids. The light’s not brilliant but it’s always fun to watch.
Happy Birthday to Ivan!
One year old today!

Ivan's new trick
He learned to climb up onto a corn pan. Two paws up first, then the back two, then he sat
Boris goes to the groomers
And he still looks like a farm dog!
