loki (australian shepherd) ran four courses at an agility trial. and by that i mean he got in the ring, did a few obstacles, and rolled around on the turf every.single.time. silly boy. i guess this explains why he's gotten most of his qualifying scores on the dirt courses, hah.

echo (border collie) passed her CGC evaluation! she'll get her certificate and ribbon on thursday. she also came with me to the agility trial and waited quietly ringside. i'm planning to get her CGCA (canine good citizen advanced) title next, and i've also got her set up to start agility lessons with a different trainer next month. i love my current trainer, but i think she lacks teaching foundational skills, and we really need that.

i may be pet sitting for a well-known author's brother in may, so that's neat!

in non-dog news, i've got an appointment with a new primary care doc today to hopefully sort out whatever has been going on with my knee these past few years. it's usually fine, but i biked ~30 miles last weekend and it flared up again.
