Finally Doing It

Looks like there's going to be lots of changes in our lives. What better way that to begin than by starting a blog!

So I'm finally starting one to capture the journeys of Team Rio and Team Blaze--my 2 incredible dogs.

Rio and I already compete (ok, we attempt to compete) in dog agility. We went through Basic, Intermediate and Advance obedience when she was a youngster. She wasn't interested in Rally Obedience (a.k.a Rally-O), which worked out ok because she's a mixed breed and cannot compete in AKC events. AKC seems to be about the only organization, locally holding Rally trials.

So we decided to try dog agility. She seems to like that much better although, competing is not her cup of tea. She LOVES going to a trial to see all her people and dog friends. She usually enjoys the first couple of classes (events) but by the end of the day, she has clearly had enough and just wants to go home.

Since I really enjoy agility (although, I suck as a handler still), enter Blaze. He's my greyhound puppy picked especially with the intent of competing in agility and probably rally-o.




They are the sunshines of my life. More on them later. This was just to get things started.
