Yesterday we had a stretching/massage class for Makin, which was very fun. She was very tense in class- possibly due to the cold (we forgot a jacket) or the dirt floor (she prefers 400 thread count sheets) or the other people/dogs (although that's unlikely since she knows that everyone there is wonderful) or maybe it was the barn smell. Yeah, it was probably the barn smell- she had her hunt on. Anyway, it is so great to learn how to take care of Makin best we can. Sadly she's getting old- or middle aged- and we want her to have the best life for as long as she can have it. So, keeping her limber is very important to us & her. When we practiced the stretching at home, she was much more appreciative, which was nice. If only she could reciprocate....
And lastly, here's a picture of our Agility work space at home. Sad, we know, but not bad for city-living! The weave poles are so fun- we love practicing. And Makin loves it too! We sneak Tessa out there on occasion too, although her joints are probably to young for continual impact. Surprisingly (or maybe not!) she does so well! She was a little nervous at first, but now she loves it too. Can't wait to sign her up for Katrin's "Five Directions!".
And no, that's not our house in the background! That would be the garage...

You got them outside!! YEAH!!!
(and you have the cages on correctly, I'm so proud! :-P)
Correct, you don't want to do them too much with Tessa as she is still too young.
Glad you are finding the seminar helpful, I take suggestions on seminars people want to see offered and try to make it happen! :-)
WOW! You have weave poles. I wanna come to your house. Mom is looking on the internet as some used equipment. Right now all I have are logs and sticks to jump over.
I can only imagine how persnickety Makin's son, Momo, is going to be! If Jozsi is pretty happy literally flopping on whatever surface is closest to me or Meg, Momo has to be just right. Same thing with picking up birds.
Happily, I just enlarged the weave pole picture so now I can see what the cages actually do! I was really confused for a moment there.
