A big thank you to Lee-Ann and Narae who set-up and designed some really fun courses in Sharon's absence.

We will be having the 6:30pm Thursday night class tonight. Weather.com says it will cool down to 80 degrees by 6pm. See you then.

Hi Wednesday 6:00 class folks. Yes, there will be class tonight (weather channel says 88 degrees in Martinez).

Karin, sorry to hear about the accident, but glad to hear you are ok. See you at the AKC trial this weekend.

Linda

Linda just to let you know, I was in a minor accident this morning, I was sandwiched between two cars, and I really am not to much in the mood for agility tonight....sorry. I wasn't hurt but my car has some nasty bruises!

MATCH - The Kennel Club of the California Sierra. There are no shows on November 6th, so why not come out to the match for some practice and fun! Please feel free to cross post.

Thank you,
Wendy Kirk

PS I'm having a terrific time in OR!

Hi Linda, Tie & I won't be in class tonight- I had to switch my herding lesson to tonight. I would like to join one of the Wed. night classes if there's space. E-mail me @ dlanddvm91@yahoo.com

Am updating Buffy's Wick's calendar for Sept. Can someone verify that Zigi will be back the 21st and 22nd of Sept.?

Hi Linda, Sorry but Miss Nora may not be in class Wed night. She got sick late Sat and is starting to get better. Was vomiting every 4 hours very consistently. A lot of dogs had vomiting and other issues. So I am going to let her rest a bit and I am behind on my work anyway. Nora had another spectacular 3 days, esp. in JWW. Sunday we were 1 of the 9 that Qed in a very entertaining JWW of Judge Dan. 42 NQ in the 20 and 24 size.

Hi Linda. We won't be there tonight....we have a late work meeting in Santa Rosa. See you tomorrow.

Hi, I know of a 1 year old MN Border collie and a 6 month old MN Papillon that need new homes. Both owners are giving up dogs because they don't fit their lifestyles (too much energy!) Could make good agility dogs. E-mail me for more info: dlanddvm91@yahoo.com

Hi Linda and Congratulations to Jive and you for the new title last w.e., but Nora thinks that it will be too hot tonight. See you next week instead.

Just in case anyone was wondering we will have the 6:00 and 7:30 PM classes this evening. Weather.com shows temp at 6:00 PM at 81 degrees and continuing to cool. See you then.

Linda

This is for Lee, Rachelle, Narae. There is a woman trying to gain access to agility yards that has had now training.
I have not taken any classes. My dog is pretty good with training. I've only read a book about it, training techniques etc. I just have a really hard time fitting into a class schedule so thought private lessons would suit me.

Laura Hering

She believe that 2=3 private lessons will be plenty to train her dog
This is just in case she calls to rent the yard.

Thanks Linda! I'm then gonna come to the 8pm class with Werneri.
I had reserved a practice time from the calendar at 5:45pm tonight for Waltteri but I obviously need to cancel that, it's just too hot.

Hi guys. Yep ... it's HOT! 98 degrees in Martinez plus a high smog count (spare the air day). So... I'm going to cancel the 6:30 pm but still have the 8:00 pm class (should be much cooler by then). That class isn't too big so any of you 6:30 pm folks are welcome to come at 8:00. Otherwise I'll see you next Tuesday at 6:30 pm.

Linda

I was also wondering will there be the 6.30pm class tonight? It's so hot, hot, hot!

are we having the 6:30pm class tonight? High in Martinez just got moved up to 102. I'm not a weather weannie but Dash might be

Linda, I think it's going to be too hot tonight for Chili, so unless we have a significant reduction in the temperature at 6pm, I won't be in class.
Guess I'm a weather weenie!

Rival received an invitation to the AKC Agility Invitational. At 14 years old Rival is retired so she will not be attending but it is an honor to be invited again!

We missed you this weekend. A sore knee is no fun but I'm sort of thankfull that's all it is. I'd be honored to run Flash on Tuesday. No problem feeding him like a horse -- I have "pigs with fur" aka cocker spaniels!

Linda
My knee is bothering me and I need to rest it a bit more. How do you feel about running Flash tomorrow night for me? He's a lot of fun, but you have to FEED HIM LIKE A HORSE -- i.e. open palm -- lest you end up with a missing finger or two -- just ask Sharon.

Rusty's a little mommy's girl and I don't think she will run for anybody else. If you'd rather just teach and not run....that's ok too. I would totally understand...

Well, it was a weekend of ups and downs at the NVDTC AKC trial, but Jive managed to finish his MXJ and garner a few more points toward his MACH.

Hi Kathy, I'm teaching this evening. Not sure how many are in the 8pm class but I'm pretty sure it'll be ok. So go ahead and come to the later class.

Not sure who is instructing tonight, but was wondering if there is room in the 8pm class to switch from the 6:30 class tonight?

Had a wonderful 2 days in Eureka trialing at the CPE HUMDOG annual event. Weather was in the 50s and the dogs loved it. AND...drum roll please...against all odds Lucky took High in Trial for Friday. Old girls rule!
Terry amd the big eared mutts

I will be starting a new beginning class in October. It will be held Saturdays around 12:30/1pm. Please email me privately if you are interested. fidocanq@gmail.com

Hi Sharon,
Maggie and I won't be at class tomorrow because Maggie is in heat and I don't think you want her there.
This is her 2nd week, so hope to see you next week.

I know that being 1st on the line can be stressful and congratulations on you and Tess for running a good course and showing the rest how to do it. See you soon. Eric/Nora

Eric,

Just wanted to let you know that in your absence, Tess stepped up to the plate and made Nora proud yesterday in the Standard run (just like you asked us to). See you in Dixon.
