About a 3rd of the way down the trail is this suspention bridge. The dogs find it a bit strange to walk on - see Chi & Tigger are both crouching a bit to ensure they keep balance.<br />

Another bear delicacy is the stink cabbage featured below a half eaten one - maybe I shoulda taken my bear spray with me....... The bears eat this when they come out of hybernation to kick start their digestive systems. I think Shelites are too fury & besides most bears are frightened off with the barking!!! :)<br />

As we were visiting my cousin this meant that I could take her along to see what agility is all about, & get her to take some photo's of us in action & the equipment that's used over here. <br />
For our first true foray back into agility we were going to be doing Gamblers! I always use to enjoy Gamblers...............<br />

Still not his most natural pastime but he had quite a good time. Our new dog Tigger took to the pool for the first time and also shed his boyancy aid after a couple of goes to swim solo, which was awesome as his back end isn't good and the swimming will so help him gain the muscle support he needs back there....... <br /><br /><div><embed src="http://www.onetruemedia.com/share_view_player?p=d64287f8743045cf7979fb" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="408" height="382" wmode="transparent" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" flashvars="&p=d64287f8743045cf7979fb&skin_id=701&host=http://www.onetruemedia.com" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed><div style="margin:0px;font:12px/13px verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;padding-bottom:15px;width:408px;text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.onetruemedia.com/landing?&utm_source=emplay&utm_medium=txt3" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:none;">Make video montages at <span style="text-decoration:underline;">www.OneTrueMedia.com</span></a></div></div><br /><br /><br />And as for our Truly True, well she didn't swim but is just as pooped after a long day of receiving lots of love and attention from human guests in attendance.<br /><br /><A onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUsyeOKq5ShGDwMRfaC0ulzVWUpbcvyJ3A_FIsypUQD9Ta1mG4rtYWZjPRASpWKghS586Vun3_wDb0_nPibq0tLWStGO2D01S4Iw-PAEIWyrQcIVcHDRTYbPkOoiFdLn3xArb9TXlCOPM/s1600/true+chill+post+swimday+003.JPG"><IMG style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: pointer" id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573432786045682098 border=0 alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUsyeOKq5ShGDwMRfaC0ulzVWUpbcvyJ3A_FIsypUQD9Ta1mG4rtYWZjPRASpWKghS586Vun3_wDb0_nPibq0tLWStGO2D01S4Iw-PAEIWyrQcIVcHDRTYbPkOoiFdLn3xArb9TXlCOPM/s320/true+chill+post+swimday+003.JPG"></A>Chi (Obay Truly Focused)http://www.blogger.com/profile/08381710392201584559noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291720269006532008.post-9470590888766012172011-02-12T14:40:00.000-08:002011-02-12T14:51:27.390-08:00Home Made House SignToday we hung our new house number sign at the end of our drive.

<br />Chi has a new play mate, his name is Tigger and he is possibly one of the very few lurchers in Canada as his parentage on the adoption forms states he is Greyhound x German Sheperd. He is the biggest dog we have ever owned and has the most gentle, kind & loving approach to life. Here they both are with True on the back deck.

<br />Chi now has his very own dog run with kennel. He loves to run barking at the elk on the property at night - needless to say they completely ignore him and carry on munching the 'lawn'. I use the term loosely as it really is just like a field out there. Roll on the summer when we've decided to have ride on lawn mover races! :)

<br /> Look what I found right next to the Car Wash! Perfect timing as Chi is due a bath. He needs to be all fluffed up for his public performance debut at the end of the month. (We've been asked to join in an agility demo at at the Comox Valley Fair)
<br />Notice the ramp for ease of getting ones pouch in and out.

Litrally at the end of our garden we have trails that go for miles through the rain forest and over the mountains.<br /><br />But there are also predetors out there.....<br /><br />Yesturday our neighbour across the street had a cougar in her garden for about 1/2 hour. She came over to let us know as she knows we have 'cougar snack' sized dogs!<br />Needless to say we are now strictly monitoring our dogs on morning & evening constitutionals in the back yard. Tony created a fenced area which adds a little security from Billy (who is a bit deaf and might not hear approaching cougar or frantic calls to get him to come back!) wondering off & the cougar from being able to just wonder straight into the dogs area.<br /><br /><br /><object style="background-image:url(http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/4iH1lFNSUOA/hqdefault.jpg)" width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4iH1lFNSUOA&hl=en_GB&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4iH1lFNSUOA&hl=en_GB&fs=1" width="425" height="344" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object>Chi (Obay Truly Focused)http://www.blogger.com/profile/08381710392201584559noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291720269006532008.post-50285897440175186162010-07-27T00:35:00.000-07:002010-07-30T23:24:23.679-07:00Agility Canadian StyleThank you to Jo-Anne and Dave at http://www.icdogagility.com for the opportunity to have a run on some Canadian equipment<br /><br />After a lovely walk to Elk falls to tire out Billy & True we set off to Black Creek the home of Incredible Canines to take part in our first Canadian agility class.<br /><br />The contacts are rubberised - HURRAH!!

Once we had done this we decided to take the dogs for a walk up Cypress Hill, where they had some of the Olympic skiing. We stopped in a picnic area and keeping the dogs on their leads 'puttered' about so they could sniff, 'P' & streatch their legs. We then decided to proceed down the mountain and as we drove round the corner we saw a bear eating. The bear was situated right underneath where we had just been walking the dogs! Tony took this video on his camera, I love the way the bear watches the truck go by towards the end........<br /><br /><br /><div><embed src="http://www.onetruemedia.com/share_view_player?p=b53c0acfd9bb4830256556" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="408" height="382" wmode="transparent" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" flashvars="&p=b53c0acfd9bb4830256556&skin_id=701&host=http://www.onetruemedia.com" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed><div style="margin:0px;font:12px/13px verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;padding-bottom:15px;width:408px;text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.onetruemedia.com/landing?&utm_source=emplay&utm_medium=txt4" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:none;">Make an on-line slideshow at <span style="text-decoration:underline;">www.OneTrueMedia.com</span></a></div></div>Chi (Obay Truly Focused)http://www.blogger.com/profile/08381710392201584559noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291720269006532008.post-74808389065893782382010-07-03T19:37:00.000-07:002010-07-03T19:47:42.301-07:00Kelsey Bay Logging re opened!The week before we arrived the Kelsey Bay logging re started. this is of great significance for the valley as it will bring in new business and help rejuvinate the local area. Another bonus is that the logs that don't make the grade are left for local pickings and since everyone has a wood burner there's not much left at the end of the day!<br />I love this pic of Chi on the boat jetty at the end of the logging harbour, see the reflection of the mountains in the water - breathtaking.......<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZxdqNTwZoX_LW0hmPCDnxa0c9d5nGavkGznWaBzPkpQV4qgzMhtIluItRsbF-lsSHnwgJYuSQteOl4m0KQFsDEBfWes-wvEhwzykRwQjIJx1ergsWvwg75Wear09xrLMVLJmpt1SHTF8/s1600/018.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZxdqNTwZoX_LW0hmPCDnxa0c9d5nGavkGznWaBzPkpQV4qgzMhtIluItRsbF-lsSHnwgJYuSQteOl4m0KQFsDEBfWes-wvEhwzykRwQjIJx1ergsWvwg75Wear09xrLMVLJmpt1SHTF8/s320/018.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489876873275012690" /></a>Chi (Obay Truly Focused)http://www.blogger.com/profile/08381710392201584559noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291720269006532008.post-53469958906033827512010-07-01T22:30:00.000-07:002010-07-01T23:27:23.524-07:00Canada Day!Today there was a parade in Sayward to celebrate Canada's 143rd b'day - Ha - p B'day Canada!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1z5QPef8ApFyogW8x-Uem2Pco1DPEjI6oBuwewVc8WiZmJPGBVj6XpE7alx5eNLHXwifEHYKD81QOvwNL7JSyDm9EFKN_BFpxM_5j5QMWpEPQVV7CUEi_J5n3PAqr9RlqTSeSfGnop6M/s1600/Canada+Day+003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1z5QPef8ApFyogW8x-Uem2Pco1DPEjI6oBuwewVc8WiZmJPGBVj6XpE7alx5eNLHXwifEHYKD81QOvwNL7JSyDm9EFKN_BFpxM_5j5QMWpEPQVV7CUEi_J5n3PAqr9RlqTSeSfGnop6M/s320/Canada+Day+003.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489185099013198578" /></a><br />The Legion carried the flags at the head of the parade, note the British flag alongside the Canadian one.

We wake up evey morning to this breath taking scenary and say 'we klimbed that mountain'! (The one in the back ground with the cloud hanging over it). The countryside is like Scotland on steroids here, it is truly awesome.<br /><br />Every year the village of Sayward have a race - yeap a race up the H'Kusam mountain. Some people do this race in 2 - 3 hours, we took rather longer! It is 23km, approx 15 miles and is the best acheivement I've gained since winning at Crufts with Chi!<br /><br />Check out this link for more info & pics....<br /><blockquote><a href="http://www.blogger.com/%3Ca">"http://www.kusamklimb.com/"</a>></blockquote>Chi (Obay Truly Focused)http://www.blogger.com/profile/08381710392201584559noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291720269006532008.post-73050295384151170432010-05-27T13:32:00.000-07:002010-05-27T13:43:28.776-07:00Canada here we come!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK23M3Pmxza7hTEtBnYUjWI9utH7Ehn9_rJXaJR8BNsa4kk9WUIdP6dM3HKzF3ddrsMqhwPU2LBgMAeZs-oYv6kcJFLqj67AkS_IENKzy7yVAbWjmEbzQs_M4f2qaRRdmAh4NCRCcIKN0/s1600/Canada+flag.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 129px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 86px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476051400890063506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK23M3Pmxza7hTEtBnYUjWI9utH7Ehn9_rJXaJR8BNsa4kk9WUIdP6dM3HKzF3ddrsMqhwPU2LBgMAeZs-oYv6kcJFLqj67AkS_IENKzy7yVAbWjmEbzQs_M4f2qaRRdmAh4NCRCcIKN0/s320/Canada+flag.jpg" /></a><br />Well it's official we are moving to Canada!<br /><br />Have suddenly realized how much I have been missing agility & the partnership Chi & I have, so hopefully we can recommence this once we've settled on Vancouver Island.

The stories have had me laughing out load & looking at my own dogs in a different light. If you know of Wendy's work already please post a comment so others can see it's not just me that enjoy these endearing tails (LOL! No pun intended!).<br /><br />'Village of Dogs' £5.99 + 60p postage and the sequal ' New Dogs in the Village'<br />and 'Barking Mad' £5 + postage. Available from Mazard Publications, 5 Heathfield Gardens, Midhurst, West Sussex, GU29 9HG. Tel: 01730 817187.<br /><br />All 3 books are written by Wendy Lewis who lives in Midhurst, locally. They are a must have for any dog lover and make a brilliant pressie. Village of Dogs & New Dogs in the Village follow the adventures of Patch and his friends who communicate telepathically. They have all sorts of adventures. <br />The Barking Mad is a collection of true stories about the 'adventures' our compainions get us into - everyone will be able to relate to at least one of the stories in the collection and thoroughy enjoy all of them for sure.Chi (Obay Truly Focused)http://www.blogger.com/profile/08381710392201584559noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291720269006532008.post-57664840311544754832010-01-01T11:56:00.000-08:002010-01-01T12:08:45.849-08:00Ha - P New Year!Happy New Year everyone!<br /><br />2010 - wow!
