Dan had warned me several times that (in his words) “Tegan will maul Pogo!” because she’s so pushy with play with their weimaraner. T is much heavier set as she probably has some staffie in her, and she’s also faster because she’s bigger (and bred for racing). I worried about this as Pogo uses her speed with dogs that are too rough with her, but I knew with Tegan she wouldn’t really be able to escape.

However we shouldn’t have worried – it probably helped that we gave T a tennis ball so her focus wasn’t on mission: eat Pogo, but they got along really well together and Pogs took on the chasing roll so we were good in terms of safety! It’s very lovely that Pogo has her own personal trainer now rather than being everyone else’s personal trainer.

Unfortunately however she fell over on concrete during the walk and we now have this lovely injury:

It’s not that bad it’s just (as ALWAYS) in a really stupid & awkward place. Annoying when I was finally getting back into flyball. Whiiiiiich reminds me to post this video:

This is from Sunday, I wanted to test her pancreas on a full run so ignore her box. I think her extension looks a hell of a lot better than it possibly ever did, although she’s lacking in power a bit.

Happy new year! :)

I am more than likely going to be moving my blog but at the moment I haven’t settled on a new design that I’m happy with so it’s staying here for now. I also got a message about some dog blog competition thing this morning so waiting to hear back from there until I move. I would, however, like to announce our new blog name :) which will be “Dinobark”!

I wanted to use this as an affix but I have been told that unless you had specifically bred the dog, it can only be “Pogosaurus at Dinobark” rather than “Dinobark Pogosaurus” which in my opinion absolutely sucks! I’ve kept some money separate though and might still register it. Not sure, opinions welcome!

Today Leanne brought Tilly over while she ran errands all day and Tilly & I did some jump work and some reactivity work. She gets on soooo well with Pogo I love it, both of them can be a bit guardy sometimes with other dogs but both were fine eating bones next to each other and doing things for treats infront of each other. Very cute!

You can see in that vid a bit of her reactivity.. no idea where the dog lives but it’s coming from a neighbours house. I don’t really like putting pressure to tug on dogs that are over threshold but she got over it really quickly.

Tomorrow I’m hoping to do some work with Tegan.
