Whew we had a great day at the Everett Mutt March.  Our Disc club donated 3 performances to the cause, and despite the cloudy weather they had a decent turn out for the 1st year the event was held.  We already chatted about hosting a competition in conjugation with their event next year.  We got […]

Summer is always such a busy time for us. Here’s a short video showing some of our recent exploits. Kess is learning the weave poles for agility and can now weave through 4 poles, and will hopefully be up to twelve poles within the next few months. She’s also been learning to work with me […]

Kess competed in her first disc competition as a tripawd on April 16.  She finished a very respectable middle of the pack.  It was a very windy spring day and unfortunately for Kess my skills weren’t quite up to the task.   We had a great time, and everyone was so happy to see Kess getting […]

Blue Dog Bakery, a dog treat company located in WA, selected Kess as their Blue Dog of the Month.  It’s based on photo submissions, and the good news for Kess is that she won a whole case of dog treats.  http://www.bluedogbakery.com/bdom  Other then that it’s life as normal around here.  We’re all patiently waiting for […]

  whew, we’ve been really busy around here.  We did find the time to sign Kess up for a foundations agility class.  We had just started in agility when we noticed the lump in Kess hind leg, so it was nice to be back on the field with a spunky crazy gal.  Kess is very good […]

So like any dog Kess has her odd little behaviors and opinions that constantly amuse me. So here are a couple of Kess verbs and their definitions. One of the things Kess used to do every night was to shove her head under the blankets at the end of the bed and thrash around for […]

The reality of Kess’s new life as a tripawd slapped us in the face yesterday. I took her out to our monthly disc dog get together. It was just myself and one other handler so we were letting the dogs run free and casual chucking the disc now and again. Kess was loose for about […]

So Kess and I will be participating in a flash mob in Seattle. It will be pretty fun if it actully works out. It’s a simple routine with some nose touches, circles, and stays. The goal is to highlight positive training methods. Kess already knows all of the tricks so now I just have to […]

Wow time flies when you’re having fun.  Kess continues to amaze us every day with how well she’s recovered from her amputation.  We went out for a birthday celebration at the local dog  park.  Kess was able to pal around with some of her favorite 4 and 2-legged friends.   There were a few times this year that I began to doubt […]

well I ordered Kess a ruffwear bootie for her back paw.  Apparently she has dainty little back feet so the xxs had the right sized sole/boot but it wasn’t long enough on her foot.  The strap came across the back of her largest pad so you couldn’t put it on properly and it kept falling […]
