Happy Birthday Eni, Bibi and Boom

My dear Eni, today you're 7 years old, and I wish you will live twice more. Your're like my shadow, always near me, with one eye checking where I am. You're so MINE.

On your 5th birthday you gave birth to 3 more miniature pinchers, 2 girls and 1 boy. Two of them are still with me - Boom and Bibi.

Today Bibi and Boom are two years old, and they are all I have dreamed off (self-confident, happy, good natured, beautiful). They both are great dogs to live with.

Bibi's biggest passion is Gra - her play mate for all the time. Stay my little maniac, crazy wild doggy, sweet and playfull, my arms are your greatest toy:

To my sweet little Boom, who's biggest passion are all sort of dog tricks, standing on front feet or just observing world from my back.

Maribor,14.9.2008-RO-II

For the first time I was competing in RO-II and endded on 2nd place with my precious Graa. We are getting better and better.
Thanks to Alenka and Jasna (Jasna is owner of Graa's full brother Grom) I have a video of our work.

Hand stand

Finally Boom knows a new trick, and I had somebody to take a photo of him performing it.

Crazy weekend

Past weekend was full of dog events again.
On Saturday we were on the agility competition in Ljubljana - KD Krim. It was a long trial, and we also had teams competition. I had my own little team, consisting of Eni, Toy and Boom. I was eliminated with little Boom, but I was running very good with Toy and Eni. Finally I made an exam with Boom (but still have to do 2 more, to get to higher level - A2). I was quite happy with his run (he's coming back after European Open), he just stopped on the dog-walk but even though he did a very good contact. I measured Tit this weekend, and it lookes like he's small also (34,5 cm).
On Sunday our club (KD Barje) organised official raily obedience competition. And I have to say it was one of my better performances. I was competing in RO-I class with Graa, and ended on 6th place. I was very happy when she did almost perfect left 270 degree turn (I have most difficulties with it, so I was very happy because this exercise is improving). She did all the exams very nice, and her heeling was almost perfect. We're getting better from competition to competition. I'm thinking about going to the competition in KD Maribor next weekend.
It will be busy weekend again - on saturday we have agility competition in Hrušica, and on sunday we're going (most probably) to RO competition.

Sad

Some thing are happening in my life and I should be proud about about them, but it seems like I'm not allowed to be. And I'm so sad, because I can't share it with person who means so much to me. I think she won't understand, not at this moment. And it makes me so sad, I can't find the words to describe it. And I don't have anybody to share my enthusiasm with, nobody to share doubts, nobody to be happy with me. I think I will be misunderstood, I only want the best for everybody. But what can I do, I'm optimistic about everything.
But thinks get better ........ once.

Agility4Fun

This unoffical competition was a big success. We had over 100 runs in two categories. Althought, the weather on saturday was very bad, it was raining pretty heavily and rain didn't stop thorught whole night, I was very happy when it stoped in the morning. While I was driving to Ljubljana, sun came out and started to use all his power to make a beautiful day. We had a beautiful sunny weather whole day, there was plenty of watter on the ground, so the dogs had plenty of opportunities to cool them. I even saw some handlers running through watter.
I would like to thank everybody who came on this event, and unselfishly helped me. You all were great. I think this was my first competition, where I didn't hear anybody complaining. But the main persons, who normally aren't satisfied with anything and always find something to complain about, were absent. So I really was very happy with the day.

Thanks to Ursha I have some nice photos of Maja and her Pina:

And I also have one photo of Bibi:

Just a sign that I'm still alive

This month has been so full of happenings, that I didn't have any time for writting here. And here is just a short note of what happened.
I was pretty much working for double National show CAC Zasavje & CAC Trbovlje, which will happen in the last weekend in August (30th & 31st August). And all is going very well (I'm very happy I finally learned how to put some things together and much more about the program for shows). And I hardly wait. I'm looking forward to meet Karli again (he's coming with five of his dogs - so there will be plenty dogs to cuddle).
This weekend, on sunday, our dog club (Kinološko društvo Barje) is organising unofficial agility competition under the name Agility4Fun (I didn't expect so many people to enter - last year we had about 30 people, this year we have over 60 and they will be running over 100 runs)- it's very funny, because on this competition we allow competitors to change dogs between themselves, and it's great opportunity to give your dog to somebody else. So I have given two of my dogs to run with somebody else, Gra will be running with Katja and Urška, and Toy will be running with Barbara and Daša. I will run with Eni, Bibi and Boom, Maja will be running with Pina and I think that are all my dogs. ANd I'm very happy because for the firt time, some of my students will be running - they are Jan with beagle Chivas, Eva with kerry blue terrier Kiara and Tjaša with staffordshire bullterrier Zoya.
And something else happened: on 7th September our club is organising one more competition - but this time Raily obedience competition. It's something new for me (organisation of that kind of competition) but I'm very happy about the fact I have made something in this club and things started to happen.
I think I will dropp some short note here after Agility4Fun.
