Have you seen our new sign by the door??

September is here!

Many of you have asked,

“What have I got up to over the summer?”

 Well, I’ve been very active!!

This past June, the Australian Koolie USA Nationals was held at Purina Farms in Missouri. Being a proud Koolie parent and trainer, we had to attend. So, Holden, Matilda (my fur children) and I were soon heading off to Missouri for our breed’s National competition.  (Who knew there were enough Australian Koolies in America to hold a competition, let alone a National!)

We had quite an adventure getting there. The first night in the hotel, a Tornado blew by, and we all ended up in the bathtub, together!! Then, while driving the next day we hit an impressive hailstorm and took 

shelter under an underpass. Once, back on the road, a truck tire came flying at us while going 70+ish down the highway! What’s the saying “getting there is half the fun!?!” After arriving safely, a 102-degree heat wave was upon us for the entire stay!!!

Holden and Matilda did the family proud winning ribbons in Agility, our main sport, each winning their respective classes. Personal bests for both Holden and Matilda in Dock Diving (first time doing this!), not to mention a welcome relief and cool off in the heat.

Our goal for next time is to learn Disc (frisbee) and compete in that as well at the next Nationals. We came home sporting great prizes and accomplishments. Tired and happy, the trip home was less eventful.

In August, I also got away for 5 days to Quebec, Canada. A couple of nights in Old Montreal, a lovely train ride and a few nights in Quebec City. I loved it! I HIGHLY recommend an “adult trip” for everyone to Quebec City. The French accents, the food, the old city, the ability to walk and see everything. It was like going to Europe for the weekend without the long flights and jet lag.
