Vinnie was really good this weekend - no Qs, but a couple of really nice runs. I got two good start line lead outs. One was successful and one was not - we have homework! I also was able to practice my blind crosses with him a couple times and I am loving them! I am looking forward to more trials next month (six weeks, but who's counting?)!</div>

Friday was groom day and it was REALLY overdue. I normally groom the little beast every other weekend, but I think it's been almost four weeks! Yikes! Three hours later, he's back to his normal clean self.</div>

My goal this weekend was to get Frank some time on working vehicles. There are four "elements" to Nose Work: interior, exterior, containers and vehicles. I am feeling really good about his work in all the elements except vehicles. We have not spent nearly enough time working on them. Friday we took the truck and the van to an empty parking lot to practice (the neighbor has dogs that run loose on occasion, so I won't practice vehicles at home). Frank did awesome. He is really seeing value in the vehicles now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to the elementary school today to practice. I had driven by and noticed that they had a skid loader and a large truck filled with bricks that I wanted to use. Frank really did will today - the "weird" vehicles were no issue. Unfortunately, the humidity messed with the camera and all the footage is just fog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, I do have video from Friday:</div>

Vinnie and I went to the ICDOC trial in Davenport this weekend. He only ran in jumpers both days as I have pulled him from standard for the summer to reteach his contact performance. It was a great trial and fun to visit with everyone and watch a bunch of really great runs! Vinnie was a little rock star. He held his start line position both runs and didn't move one little foot - good boy! The icing on the cake was two clean runs. I see areas I could definitely improve, but overall, I think we had pretty good teamwork this weekend!<br />
<br />
Carolyn was kind enough to video us with my iPad this weekend and I downloaded the iMovie app to give their editing program a try. It's a neat program, but is going to take some getting used to!<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Frank and I finally got a chance to go to the high school and elementary schools to do some Nose Work this weekend. I have been eyeing the bleachers at the high school and the playground equipment at the elementary school for ages. It rained this afternoon and I figured right after it finished would be the perfect time to go since all the kids would still be inside. I was right and we had a good time. Frank really enjoyed searching the bleacher area - you can see his tail is up and he is focused on his job. When we headed across the street to the elementary school, it started to rain and there was one little bit of thunder. Frank was a bit concerned about getting his hair wet :-)</div>

Vinnie and I had a great time this weekend in Des Moines. We have been working very hard on his start line and it is paying off. We had two great days of start lines and came home with lots of ideas to work on!!</div>

Note to self – it is waaaaay less expensive to take I-80 than I-88! I’ll bet I spent almost $20 on tolls!! A really nice lady at the seminar gave me great directions on how to get to 80 to get back home.<br /></li></ol> <ol style="margin-top:0in" start="2" type="1"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in">Don’t judge a book by it’s cover! The Super 8 that Vinnie and I were staying at was near the O’Hare airport and the neighborhood didn’t look promising. First appearance of the motel didn’t look good for us either. However, our room was awesome!! It was huge, had a really nice leather recliner, marble (?) sink and shower surround (although a slight slip in the tub could end up with you taking a bath in the sink!) and a really cool leather and wood headboard. There was a restaurant in the building that had me drooling by smell alone!<br /></li></ol> <ol style="margin-top:0in" start="3" type="1"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in">I need a new mattress!!

I had to ask him repeat himself as I didn’t understand him at first. Turns out he lives in Alaska (where they don’t have hardly any dog seminars of any sort) and he has flown to 4-5 seminars here in the states just so he can help teach up in Alaska. He was originally from Texas so he was an Alaskan with a Texas drawl.<br /></li></ol> <ol style="margin-top:0in" start="5" type="1"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in">For Your K9 is an interesting place. They offer tons of activities for dogs including daycare, dock diving, obedience, Nose Work, agility, rally, etc… Their building is an old warehouse in an industrial area that has been divided up into different sections for their activities. It was pretty neat to see their dock diving area. The most interesting part of their building was the bathroom. The women’s room was a large (10 x 10) room with two toilets and two sinks – no stalls. Hmmm… I was really tempted to get you all a picture, but I thought it would look a little odd if I went in there with my camera.<br /></li></ol> <ol style="margin-top:0in" start="6" type="1"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in">I learned a LOT at the Nose Work seminar.

The boys love it and it's lots of fun to see them do what comes naturally. Becky took video of the class tonight and put this movie together. Frank starts at 6:15 and Vinnie at 12:15. If you ever get a chance to do this with your dog, I highly recommend it! Hmmm... Tammy - I wonder if you could do this with one of your CATS!!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gzZ3lZ6efzo" allowfullscreen="" width="415" frameborder="0" height="360"></iframe></div>Marsha K. http://www.blogger.com/profile/04113480712860324302noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557737868300800768.post-89671551763432845242012-01-29T20:22:00.003-06:002012-01-29T20:27:07.650-06:00Davenport<div style="text-align: center;">Vinnie was such a little rock star this weekend.

I cut all his hair off in September and hated it the minute I did it. Good thing Vinnie's hair grows FAST! The continental is back and I do love him in this cut. Vinnie got a bath and a shave this morning, so we had to go out for some pictures since the sun was actually out!

There were MACHs and PACHs and PAXs everywhere!! We signed bars and ate cake. I think we have a serious cake addiction. Ever read any of the Stephanie Plum mysteries by Janet Evanovich? Stephanie Plum has nothing on us. Sydney's cake was gone by 9am! Frank promises to bring supplement cake to ICDOC!<br /><br />Frank was a total rock star this weekend! We ran at a place he completely HATES (ask him... he'll tell ya!). Last year he got three 2Qs and only six points. The theory in Frank's world is that if you move slowly, the boogie man can't get you. So far, it's worked for him. No boogie man has been spotted at Iowa trials. This weekend he finished his PACH, PAX2, MXP5 and MJP5!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4gh3ogNOqGg" allowfullscreen="" width="420" frameborder="0" height="315"></iframe></div>Marsha K. http://www.blogger.com/profile/04113480712860324302noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557737868300800768.post-26846481941597120662011-10-30T18:50:00.002-05:002011-10-30T19:12:06.042-05:00Davenport<div style="text-align: center;">The boys were rockin' awesome this weekend. Frank 2Q'd both days. Vinnie finished his Novice Jumpers and moved on to Open and got the first leg today. We had tons of cake and more food than was good for us. Now it's time to sit back and watch Desperate Housewives!!<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2EyXR3jdUn0" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="420"></iframe></div>Marsha K. http://www.blogger.com/profile/04113480712860324302noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557737868300800768.post-77910034700884995342011-10-28T19:57:00.001-05:002011-10-28T20:01:22.204-05:00Trick or Treat!!!<div style="text-align: center;"><br />Happy Halloween from the Punk Poodle!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pn5dj6kjNbs/TqtQGIW9RpI/AAAAAAAABqo/-mT6vc3bse8/s1600/DSC_2055.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pn5dj6kjNbs/TqtQGIW9RpI/AAAAAAAABqo/-mT6vc3bse8/s400/DSC_2055.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668712622229112466" border="0" /></a><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tcawtAxll8Y/TqtQF--GtKI/AAAAAAAABqY/tsGPtisSKgU/s1600/DSC_2040.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tcawtAxll8Y/TqtQF--GtKI/AAAAAAAABqY/tsGPtisSKgU/s400/DSC_2040.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668712619708953762" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Mo1ny3e425c/TqtQGzJnvlI/AAAAAAAABqw/5zP_5VHG_18/s1600/DSC_2059.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Mo1ny3e425c/TqtQGzJnvlI/AAAAAAAABqw/5zP_5VHG_18/s400/DSC_2059.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668712633715899986" border="0" /></a>Marsha K. http://www.blogger.com/profile/04113480712860324302noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557737868300800768.post-73803809255100637862011-10-23T20:13:00.002-05:002011-10-23T20:52:34.277-05:00Des Moines...<div style="text-align: center;">The agility trial was at the new Jacobson Building at the Iowa State Fairgrounds this weekend and it's fantastic. We didn't freeze. In fact, the weather was fabulous! We had thought about camping, but decided it was a bit risky with weather. We ended up at the Motel 6 on NE 14th. It's cheap and well worth the entertainment! It has a certain aura to it. You'll just have to experience it for yourself. Would I stay there again? You betcha! The rooms were nice and the neighbors plentiful and exotic!!<br /><br />Agility was great. The building was spacious and not freezing cold!! There was no outside food allowed, but "contraband" food was plentiful (or you could just make a trip outside to your van). Unless, of course, you wanted to pay $4.00 for a pop.<br /><br />Frank was wonderful and 2Q'd all three days this weekend. Vinnie, on the other hand, was a learning experience!! We definitely have some things to work on. By today, we finally found something that worked for us.<br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vGXItOggRmQ" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="420"></iframe></div>Marsha K. http://www.blogger.com/profile/04113480712860324302noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557737868300800768.post-3892044022674658152011-10-14T20:29:00.006-05:002011-10-14T21:33:08.640-05:00Happy Birthday!!!!!<div style="text-align: center;">Happy 9th Birthday to Frank and Betty!!
