Where we've been!

We've been pretty busy around here! Working away, playing and working on my endurance. Since the weather around here has been a lot warmer than the norm, we've gotten in some good miles of walking, as part of my new endurance training program. I'm doing great, but I think Mum may be suffering the effects of too much exercise!

First we start out in the front yard and have to check for any pee mails, of course...

Then is off we go, with Gracie going at a pretty good clip...

Then it's a quick check at the corner for more pee mails...

They we are both off for a good three miler...

Then it's a quick stop at the pond to check out the amazing duck poo...can't wade today, it's still a little frozen...Then we are off again for the last mile...

Then it's home to play with our new favorite toys we got from Christmas...

It's been great getting all this exercise. We even got in some agility training in the backyard yesterday. Mum was totally blown over by Gracie's weaves yesterday. They were practically the best weaves she has ever seen - fast, accurate, nose barreling through, striding and pulling herself leg by leg - she gushed over Gracie for that wonderful feat!!! Too bad no one ever gets to see Gracie's good agility stuff; well someday, we hope!

Mum and I did a little distance work - we're at about 25 feet lateral on the weaves now, which is great! Gotta get that gamble practice in when we can. We also did work on my teeter to get it a little faster; and weave speed, as well. So guess we are now pretty much ready for this weekend agility trial. Mum has to trim the nails a bit and she's vowed to give me a much needed bath. Just hope Mum can remember how to walk courses it's been so long - nearly 7 weeks since we had a trial.

And she has to rest up from all the exercise I put her through this week.
