Welcome!


Join me as we have fun with our dogs, and then paddle along with the Dog Paddlers—a dragon boat team in Victoria, Canada. You'll meet my Silky Terriers—Abby, Zack, Sami and Gemma—and their feline sister, Bridget. Share with us the joys and challenges of strengthening the human-canine bond as we participate with our dogs in canine agility, trailwalks and canine freestyle.

ROADSTERS, TAKE 2

Remember I mentioned that I would post some pictures of the Silky gang from the Roadsters agility trial back on the Labour Day weekend, once I got some from the official photographer (Jim Hockley)? Well, they finally arrived today. The Silkies aren't doing anything too spectacular in the pix, but what I get a kick out of some of them is that they show how windy it was that weekend. It may not make a lot of difference to dogs with short hair/fur, but you can see that it creates some wild coiffures for the Silkies! Abby has the definite wind-blown look, while Gemma models the stream-lined wind-tunnel effect.



Meanwhile, Zack shows off some fine form over a jump:

And looks very attentive while he waits through the five-count on the table.

Abby, on the other hand, looks quite serene (even as the wind continues to "ruffle her feathers") as she waits out the count—like the princess she is!
