summer sunset




How lucky to be on the beach during sunset time?
Very Lucky to live with dogs who make me always think about
where is the best place to go, even it's very hot days :)
Photos has no effect! It's natural colours!

Double box work


土曜日ニアのおばさんにあたるジャズのオーナーのジェラルディンさんと
プライベートレッスンをしてきました。内容はグレッグのダブルボックスワーク。
犬のラインとフロント、レアクロスのポジションなど
私達のハンドリングを中心に細かく
解りやすくしっかり指導してくれました。
私達の通うスクールはグループレッスンの上かなりペースが遅く
ニアのクラスはまだトンネル一つとジャンプ2つ程、ニア以外は
誰もウィーブが出来ていません。。反対にシルビアのクラスは
ペースが速い上に初心者向けの細かいインストラクションが無い。
(もちろん聞けば細かく丁寧に教えてくれます)楽しいけど
ビデオ撮影だけでは見えない部分が沢山あるはず。
という事で始めたこのプライベートレッスンです!
随分アジリティについて勉強出来きました :)

Very exciting! We did Greg Derret's double box wok with Geraldine.
It was our first private lesson with her, who own Niah's anty Jazz.
We feel our agility school is a little slow and not enough practice 
since I am in a big group of classes, and so far, niah only used 2 jumps
and one tunnel, no other student can not weave yet..but school IS very important 
learning environment and I like our instructor a lot!
But we have been doing online lessons with very fast Silvia. 
So it is time to learn more specific lessons!
Great to meet Geraldine and her instruction was very clear and excellent!
we learn a lot about agility this weekend :)

Market found - Camberwell market-

I met these very cute white enamel bucket and iron planter on Sunday market.
Bucket was $20, Planter was $18. maybe a little expensive for a old bucket?
I admire old and lustic little object and furniture, that has charactor of 
age, design and craftsmanship!
It was very nice to take them home.  I am loving them!
可愛いエナメルのバケツと鉄のプランターをサンデーマーケットで見つけました。
バケツが$20、プランターが$18ドル。バケツにしてはちょっと高いですか?
古い物が大好きなので即購入!家に連れて帰れて良かった :)
可愛くてお気に入り!

See Saw, Figure 8 in 500, Blind Cross


















Silvia's comment
Nice see-saw! To get 2on2off also with you behind, leave the reward ahead (maybe at the next jump), let him see it’s there and then release him to a toy (no rewarding in a position). Once he knows the reward is always in front and not coming from you, it will be easier to stay behind. And yes, spread the jumps of figure 8 more and try to be in line with the wings. In general, it’s much easier to get a good turn with you on a take off side, but of course, you want to practice being on a landing side sometimes too! The cross you did in that sequence was actually a blind cross, not a rear cross – but it sure was a nice one!

Lillydale to Warburton Rail Trail






Koto and Niah had a BIG 16km run yesterday at Lillydale to Warburton Rail Trail.
Old Rail way has changed to bicycle trail, still connecting 2 towns.  
Stunning views with bell bird singing, bike shop cafes, toilet facilities and old stations in between. 
Also we could learn about history :) Very cool! We sure enjoyed our ride! 
日曜日、琴とニアは16キロも走りました!私達は自転車 :)
ここは以前鉄道だった道をそのままの状態で舗装して残し、今でもリリーデールとワーバートンという街を繋ぐ自転車道(馬も大丈夫)として使われています。
今は使われていな駅や給水場、自転車リペアをしてくれるカフェやトイレ、パブなどもあり、休憩もしっかり取れるようになっています。
鳥の声を聞きながら運動、自然を満喫できる、更に歴史を知る事が出来る!
楽しいバイクライドでした!

Mt. Kosciusko hiking








オーストラリアのナショナルパークは動植物を守る為に犬猫断禁です。
でもどうしても登りたかったオーストラリアで一番高い山、コジオスコには登ってきました。
本当に登れて良かった。
歩いても歩いてもワイルドフラワーが一面に咲き、奇麗な小川、それから
連なる山々、ヴィクトリアにはあまり山が無いので本当に気持ちよくて
素晴らしい景色でした。
登山中の5時間、2匹は一番居心地の良い車内で待機させました。
夏なので凄く心配していたのですが、
木の下の日陰にとめて、窓大きく開けてフロントガラスを
カーペットで覆い、全ての窓に濡れたタオルをかけ、沢山の水を置いていきました。
かなり快適だったようで帰って来た時はあー良く寝た!というすっきりした顔で
待っていてくれた!よかった。

It was sad that we can not take dogs to National parks.
But we were so happy that we could climb Mt. Kosciusko.  
It was just spectacular!!
During our 5hours of summer hiking, I was worried about leaving them in the kennel, so we made a plan to make our car like a big crate, safe and cool.
windows are widely open, completely covered with carpet lug and towels. 
Parked under the Big tree with a lot of water.  
I could tell that they were very comfortable and slept.   
Very happy that we all had a good time.

weave training update!

Weave Training videos from yesterday.  
I am testing  if they still remember weave Independence after our holiday.
*Rear crossing poles
*Front crossing poles
*staying back
*sitting down
*running away from weave poles!

Still need to work on Right side (difficult one) for both Koto and Niah, 
but they are looking pretty good and I am very proud of them :)

Silvia's comment;
Still looking good! No problems with more narrow channel, but yes, that right entry takes a while to master. But you can keep closing it and finish it later on, you won’t see those entries in beginning classes. Great speed chasing Koto too!!! And nice and tight also on 500! 
My comment;
Thank you Silvia,
Okay. I am glad to hear that. I’ve been wondering what am I doing wrong
on right side..
I guess it is silly to ask but is Le still made entry mistakes on right side when channel is nearly closed?
more practice and number of experience=successful entry?
Silvia:
Well, Bi certainly did! :) I was already thinking she will just never get it – but then it just clicked for her too one day! You should definitely do all sorts of stuff on a channel already, but some details are easier to master later on, when the dog already has some more experience. I think Le was pretty good with her entries on my stick in the ground poles, but then had quite some problems transferring to normal, wooden poles that won’t move away at all, so we went back to really basic entries then and then focused on sequencing and handling mostly (where I help with the entries anyway) so I forgot about the hard entries for a while – and when I tried again, she was pretty bad. I then did one session with restraining and she was back on track.

mt climbing, swimming, running everyday!





We were JUST HAPPY !

5hours hiking at wild horse's valley






super dog friendly acomondation!








We had a off from Camping for 5 days, and stayed at accommodation

How lucky is we could stayed in a house where dog can be free inside?
We could have almost the same life style as our house!! very cool!
Thank you for Bimblegumbie's Owner Prue, she was amazing, strong dog lover, 
also such a beautiful antique furniture collector! I really loved many of them!
it was very welcoming and cozy stay!
