World Agility Open
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey As I sit here, reflecting back the World Agility Open, my first international event, I am overwhelmed by the flood of emotions. How can one describe something that has touched their soul? I have written before about my Cushing’s disease, and the tumor that caused it. I’ve relived the moment […]

The Hobbit’s Journey to the World Agility Open
“This Dream Chose Me” The Happy Thoughts Agility crew has arrived and settled into our hotel in England! It was a heck of a trip! Seven hour flight followed immediately by a seven hour drive from Paris to England was intense. David and I weren’t able to sleep much in our travels, so needless to say we were […]

Running Agility… Pregnant?!
I’ve been wanting to write this post for a while. I’ve been running agility since day 1 of my pregnancy. And, I’ll be honest, it hasn’t been easy. I searched the internet for other agility enthusiasts that had been through the same thing. I know there’ve probably been tons of women who run agility while pregnant…. […]

UKI U.S. Open
A magical whirl wind doesn’t even begin to describe my U.S Open experience. This was our first non-AKC national and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I certainly didn’t expect to fall head over heels in love with the event and become so enthralled by it that I plan on attending it every year from […]

It was […]

That’s one of the things I love about it; there is always something new to learn. It’s incredibly dynamic and new challenges are ever presenting themselves. […]

USDAA Mid-atlantic Regionals 2015
The pups and I were SMOKIN at regionals (both metaphorically & literally). It was hot no matter what way you looked at it, and the buildings didn’t have AC; the doors were opened. So, knowing my dogs’ aversion to heat, we crated out of my air conditioned car. It worked out wonderfully! Both dogs had […]

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted or even signed onto my blog. As some of you know, Bilbo and I drove to MN to tryout for the USA agility teams. My horrible nerves caused us to have an E in the first round but we got our act together and did great the […]

Meeting Your Heroes
This weekend I got to meet one of my heroes at the Mid-Atlantic Agility Showcase. His name is Jaakko from One Mind Dogs (Finland), and if you are an agility person you know who this is. I have a tendency to be anxious when I have my first runs later in the day. My mind races […]
