Marley has had recurrent front leg lameness intermittenly for a little over a year. It started with a sprained leg in Dec. 2011. After that, every few months Marley would become lame, limping with a front leg. Sometimes the limping was so severe she would hold the leg up and refuse to put weight on it. It seemed like it always occured on the weekend, so I would give her Rimadyl and watch her. Then usually by a day or so she would be fine. I've taken her into the vet a few times and they would do Xrays and say she sprained a toe.
A few weeks ago, she was having an accu/chiro treatment and the vet looked at her toe and noticed it was swollen. She thought it was broken so we went to get Xrays. Same old, same old. No break, just a toe sprain.
I went to another vet a week or so before the Shreveport trial. She felt Marley was suffering from a neck strain and prescribed steroids and muscle relaxers. Plus rest. I took Marley to Shreveport anyway because she was acting like Marley. She did great on Friday. Ran 2 clean runs. Saturday morning we noticed Marley seemed tired, a little off. I ran her in JWW and she was clean but a little slow for her. During her standard run, she just didn't want to run. Was slow off the start line. I noticed she started limping after the A-frame. I pulled her from the trial. I talked to the vet and she advised me to start her back on the steroids and muscle relaxers.
We went back to the vet on Thursday and the vet feels her neck strain is better and wants us to continue with her current therapy. She goes back in a week or so for some Xrays. Poor Marley is so good with being rested. She wants to go out to play so bad, but she is content just looking out the window....for now. I know she's starting to get a little stir crazy. Today she got on the treadmill and stood there. I turned it on for a few minutes and I think she was seriously disappointed when I turned it off.
I had entered Marley in Memphis in April. I pulled her entry and hope that she will be able to at least run agility for fun in a few months. I just want Marley to be ok, to be healthy. Hopefully, it's just a setback and Marley will bounce back as she always does.

A BABY DOG DEBUTS!!
Monroe, LA was a huge success for us! Marley is becoming my reliable agility dog. She is moving well and runs happy. Her only errors were refusals twice in JWW that I totally caused. For some reason, I balk my handling during JWW. I know that Marley doesn't read a rear cross but I try them only to have them fail. I kick myself everytime I try one and it fails. I know better so I don't know why I do it. So on Sunday, I walked JWW saying to myself 'front cross, front cross' over and over. I guess it got into my head because I didn't balk any handling during that run. Her biggest brag is she earned her first QQ! It may be the only one she gets so it is so exciting for us.
Miss Kalea-Kate's debut was a major success. Her first event was FAST. She was a quick little devil and got the SEND with no problem. Got her A frame contact and did a nice teeter. Q/2nd
I learned during her standard run that I had never practiced KK on a panel jump. After several refusals, I chose to go on and just let her run. I can't teach her a panel jump in 5 seconds on a course. The second day, the panel jump was the first obstacle. After the novice briefing, I went over to the judge and told her my dog doesn't know the panel jump and she laughed and said she caught that yesterday during her standard run. The judge was so nice and told me to leave her in a stay and call her over. I did and it worked. You can actually hear the judge cheer for KK went she went over that panel jump. That first standard run is actually the first time KK has ever run a full course!! Crazy I know, but this trial was a practice for us to see what KK would do in the ring and how I would handle running a baby dog.
Jumpers was a success for us. KK got her weave entry and didn't slow down. It's so different handling her. She does so much better with rear crosses. I love watching her JWW run, seeing her kick in and just throw dirt behind her as she runs! She got a Q/2nd the first day and a Q/1st the second day. I love this puppy and the adventure we are on.

HAPPY MARLEY!!
Marley, Kalea-Kate and I drove up to Springfield, MO for an AKC agility trial over the weekend. Alot of people backed out due to the weather but I didn't have any trouble with the roads. It was a rustic setting (to put it nicely). Inside an insulated building with no heat. You crated in horse stalls with other people. Very tight getting in and out of the rings. There was barely any room to pass other dogs near the rings. This is certainly not the trial for you if you have a snarky/reactive/aggressive dog. Luckily I don't have a snarky/reactive/aggressive dog so we were just fine!
Marley had a blast! She was so happy everyday. She was running and running happy! True to her Marley nature, I never know what dog is coming off the start line until we start. This weekend it was the fun loving, happy Marley. You know your dog loves agility and loves you when it is evident on her face and in her body language. After some of our runs, I was still leashing her up and people were telling me how happy my dog was. That is the best compliment!!! Regardless of how many Q's Marley gets or how many MACH points she might rack up, we will continue to do agility only as long as it's fun for Marley! Once she isn't bouncy and happy after her runs, will she retire...regardless of how close we are to whatever title. When Q's and titles are in the fore front of your mind, you have lost the fun of agility. You will rarely hear me talking about Q's and titles at trials...that just puts pressure on you and the fun is gone. It's a game! Play happy!!
Kalea-Kate got to see her foster mom on Saturday. I don't think KK really recognized her. KK was about 3 months old when I got her, so it's been awhile since she has seen her foster mom. True to KK, she happily gave her foster mom lots of kisses. :) We are planning on going back to Springfield in July for a NADAC trial so her foster mom can see her run.
Kalea-Kate debuts this weekend in Monroe, LA in the AKC Novice ring. I'm nervous because I don't know if she is really ready for the ring. Or if I'm ready for the ring with her. But we will go and we will have fun! It will be a learning experience for us!! Looking forward to our agility career together!

AN AGILITY WEEKEND TO CRY ABOUT
Marley and I ventured over to McKinney, TX on March 2 & 3. I picked McKinney mainly because I wanted to run Marley all alone. I wanted to go someplace where I didn't know anyone and where no one from home would be. Strange? Not to me. I wanted to just concentrate on Marley and me. Just us. Just us as a team. I love trialing with my friends but sometimes I just want to be alone. It was a great decision for us.
Marley had a fabulous Master Standard run on Saturday morning. Happy, running, got her weaves and was quick through them, got her running contacts, and then......she stopped in front of a jump to cough! Really Mar? You couldn't have coughed in the tunnel???? Regardless, it was a great run. Over to Excellent JWW where she got that elusive last Q with a 1st and finished her Excellent JWW title. I took Marley out to the woods and just let her run and be a dog! She had a big time.
Sunday morning in Standard, I thought I would try a blind cross after the A frame and that failed miserably. Caused her to get a refusal. Then Marley missed her weave entry because she came blasting out of the tunnel. A tunnel to the weaves isn't good for Mar. She loves her tunnels!! Over in JWW, she got her first Master JWW Q with PACH points.
After the trial was over, I cried on the way home thinking about how far Marley has come. Every run I have with Marley is a blessing. I don't care if she ever gets her PACH or how many PACH points she gets. I just want to run with Marley! Some people get so tied up and obsessed with Qing and getting points and QQ and they lose the real reason they started agility. To have fun with their dog. I try my best at trials not to moan about not Qing or getting QQ's. At the end of Marley's life I won't be thinking about those Q's, I will be thinking I was so lucky to have been blessed with Marley and having been so lucky to get to spend so much fun time with her.
A good friend told me "You have done Marley proud". I hope I have. I hope I have many more agility weekends to cry about!

REALIZATION
This weekend I opened my the latest issue of my agility magazine. As I was reading the editorial page, I literally thought it was about me. It was about trainers and their effect on their students. I found some very interesting statements in the article.
*Coaches can empower or crush a person with a single statement.*
In life you have to take the good with the bad. People have no idea that something they say can or will have an everlasting empact on a person. Being told that 'Marley is way too much dog for you' has driven me to where I am now. I had to leave to find myself. I would not be where I am now with Marley if I had stayed. If I had stayed, Marley would have retired before she began. Instead, I left and just look at where Marley is now. Look at the titles she has amassed. Look at Marley. Look at Marley for the dog she has become. Look at Marley. Look at Marley for the sweet, loving, happy dog she is. Look at Marley.
So after 2 years, I'm glad 'Marley is way too much dog for you' was said to me. I'm glad I let those words empower me and not crush me. Thank you for giving me the power to find myself and what I needed for Marley. Thank you for giving me the strength I needed to go. I'm still bitter but I'm glad. Glad I was pushed to do and go somewhere else.
* There is a culture in dog sports where students give away an inordinate amount of power to the instructor to get access to information, facilities, and other resources. In some cases, it can be like joining a secret society. In dog sports, students are considered 'disloyal' for going to another instructor. It's not taken into consideration that perhaps they outgrew the instructor, or need to improve in an area that isn't an area of expertise for that instructor.*
I learned this the hard way. Marley is a great dog. She's had her 'issues' and we've worked hard to get past those 'issues'. We got to a point that we needed something else, someone else in her training. It was a decision I agonized about for awhile. I finally got tired of leaving agility classes in tears and crying all the way home. I needed to find someone who could help me with Marley without breaking her spirit.
I didn't know that by leaving, I would lose the people I had trained with for years. I didn't know that by trying to find Marley the help she needed would lead to people not talking to me or making snide comments about where I chose to go to train. It has bothered me and I have retaliated by making snide comments. My feelings were hurt and that's how I dealt with it...being petty like them. Yes, I still harbor bad feelings about the whole situation. Especially since people who I never trained with seem to think they know what went on previously and feel the need to be snarky about Marley. They don't even know my reasons for needing to go somewhere else. I needed something different for Marley. I needed help with Marley without breaking her spirit! For some reason, these people seem to not like where I am now. The agility world is small and it's hard not to see the same people at trials and not have flashbacks or pettiness displayed.
This is my journey with my girls and I will stand up for them. Agility is about having fun with your dogs! Not having to be worried about what others say about you or your handling skills during your run. I'm working on being a better person and keeping my head on straight.
*A good coach will be concerned primarily with the well-being, safety, protection and future of the individual performer. There must be a balance between the development of performance and the social, emotional, intellectual, and physical needs of the individual.*
I found my agility home. I found the best trainer I could ever want for Marley and she has flourished! She went from a dog with 'issues' to a happy, bouncy, successful agility dog with lots of spirit! I will always wonder 'what if'. What if I had looked for help before Marley got labeled, what it, what if...it will always plague me.
Kalea-Kate has been brought up from a little 16 week old pup to a 15 month old confident girl who's already in advanced agility classes, weaving 12 poles and competent on every piece of agility equipment. She's even entered in her first agility trial in March. My confidence has grown and so has my handling. Don't get me wrong, I still get intimidated and nervous at times at trials, but I feel more comfortable in the agility world.
I have said it many times and I will continue to say it, I have found the right trainer for us. As a bonus I have made a lifelong friend and confidant and found some great training buddies. I made a great best friend during training. We are both a little nuts about our girls! I love trialing with my friends! It's great to have the support you need and just great people to hang out with during the weekend. We are a pretty laid back group and that just makes a trial so much better! We all tease each other about our runs and mistakes but support each other regardless.
*At the end of the day, nothing is more valuable than someone's dignity.*
It's important to be able to be yourself in every setting. To have integrity and respect. I have spent 2 years being bitter about the past. I basically wasted 2 years brewing over something that I couldn't change, it was in the past and needs to stay there. The last year has been the hardest year ever for me. I have had a ton of support from my training friends and that has gotten me through some very dark times. I have some great friends off the agility field and they try their best to keep my feet on solid ground.
I've recently taken time to sort through my feelings and am coming to terms with alot of stuff. I'm working on myself and my attitude towards life. I will always be a work in progress.

ENJOY THE JOURNEY
Life is a journey. Enjoy it!
Marley will start her trialing season next month. I have set goals for her Q-wise, but my biggest goal for her is to want to run with me. For it to be fun for her and me. Don't get me wrong, I love to Q and earn titles, but Marley doesn't know the difference. She only knows if I'm happy at the end of a run. Then she's such a happy, bouncy girl. I just love to see her come out of the ring excited....running for her crate and the reward that lies in wait for her. She amazes me everyday. Just the simple fact that she wants to run agility with me despite suffering from 2 chronic diseases just shows what a big heart she has. I sometimes feel like there is a dark cloud hanging over us, just knowing that 1 of those diseases will end her agility career and may in fact leave her disabled. Knowing that just breaks my heart.
Life is a journey. Enjoy it!
I dreamt last night that agility wasn't judged by time or faults. It was judged by the fun the dog had. At the end of the run, a ring steward handed you a slip of paper with comments about the fun your dog had and a positive comment to encourage you. I think that would be so neat. Think of how the attitudes in agility would change. I hate seeing people fuss at their dog for not Qing or get mad and storm off if they don't get a QQ. Agility is a team sport! The dog is only doing what you told him to do. Maybe you should fuss at yourself or put yourself in the crate for a time out and to think about why you directed the dog wrong!!
The ribbons are for us. The joy is our dog's. The fun is for both of us!
Life is a journey. Enjoy it!
Kalea-Kate will start her agility career soon. I hope I can keep it all in perspective. Take what I've learned from Molly and Marley and apply it to Kalea-Kate.

KALEA-KATE'S FIRST AGILITY FUN RUNS!
Little Miss Kalea-Kate had her very first agility runs at the Little Dog Training Club on Saturday, January 5, 2013. It was a fund raiser for the Arkansas Pups in Prison program.
This was KK's very first time to run agility somewhere else other than my backyard or at my trainer's house. It was also her first time in a 'trial environment'. She was so good! Quiet in her crate, minded her manners, was super friendly to everyone. It was her first time around alot of dogs and people she didn't know and she handled it like an old seasoned pro.
She did a great job on all of her runs. Paid attention and ran! When she did have a little boo-boo, I could tell in the video that alot of it was my fault. I verbally called her off a jump and she minded...except I meant for her to take the jump but I said "here" and she came to me. Good for KK, bad handling by mommy. She for the most part hit all of her 2o2o contacts....sometimes they turned into a running contact but I was pleased that she didn't bail off anything. I jumped her at 16 and she kept all the bars up. She did a quick down on the table too!! She didn't mind or notice the people in the ring during her runs (Jonathan filming, Pamela being the target minder, the leash runner and Kimo as the judge). Love this baby!!
We are working on weaves and on jumping 20/22. Everyday we are doing something! I'm working on my handling. So lots of boxwork, jump grids, sends, etc. Waiting on my field to dry some so we can get out there and work some contacts. I can't wait for our classes to start back. I guess I will put her back in a class setting and see what happens. Hope I don't have to go 'Mama Bear' on someone.
I've begun thinking about when it will be a good time to trial with Little Miss Kalea-Kate. I've decided to begin by entering her in a Novice FAST run and see what she does. And then I will go from there. So she may be doing alot of FAST runs for awhile. I will not enter her in regular runs until she is consistently weaving 12 poles, has a flying down on the table, consistently keeps up the bars, pays attention to me, and has good distance. I will not be one of those handlers that enters a dog in a run and then takes 3 minutes to do a run while everyone watching is poking out their eyes and it takes the whole ring crew to pick up all the downed bars! That drives me nuts!! I've actually dozed off in the ring during some of those runs when I was working as a bar setter. :)
That being said, KK will be ring ready before she enters any 'big girl runs'.
