Our little set up for the dogs

We arrived into Twin Falls about 2:00 pm checked into our hotel the Shilo Inns and Suite, very nice hotel then headed over to the show site in Filer, Idaho which is about 7 miles from Twin Falls. We meet up with some friends who have westies, we set up are area for the dogs then left and headed to dinner.

Road trip!!!!

We are all packed and ready to head out to Idaho, this is Gabby's first road trip with overnight hotel stays should be interesting. We have packed lots of toys to keep her entertained.

Don't think I can fit much more in!!!!

Four crates ready for the dogs

Will post more tonight once we get to Twin Falls, Idaho weather is going to be unsettled oh well it still a vacation with the dogs away from work and home.

Pulled out of the show today!!

We have so much rain today in Northern Utah that I talked with my trainer and pulled Cody out of the show. I want Cody's experience in Obedience to be positive and I think showing in the rain is not good as he is so new to showing Obedience, plus I'm not a duck and I didn't want to get soaked. We are also about to get a flooded basement the bottom back steps out of our house is full of water so we have to pump that out.

Tomorrow is our road trip to Idaho we have two days of Obedience in Filer, Idaho then on to Blackfoot for Rally Obedience. The rings for Obedience are covered in Filer showing in the area that they show cattle at the fair in, this will be much better for Cody.

So I will spend the rest of the day packing as I have not started yet, and relaxing. Tomorrow we have a 3 hour drive north to Twin Falls, Idaho where we will be staying.

Cody takes 1st Place in Novice B Class

Well today we started our quest for Cody's CD (Companion Dog) title in Obedience, the weather was warm and beautiful, could not of been a more beautiful day to show a dog. I'm very pleased to announce that Cody has his first qualifying score in Novice B with a 189 and to boot a 1st place finish. Now we have qualify two more times to get his title.
