New to Blogging

Pepper and Taz figured that if Spike and Sophie had a blog.... they could get one as well.  They decided that the inmate cat (hereby named Gizmo) did not deserve to be added to their website!  He might get a picture up here.... he might not!  It all depends on how generous Pepper is these days!!

Anyways on to some sports related info! 


Pepper has been playing flyball for two years now and acheived her FM (Flyball Master) title this year.  She has worked very hard (and so has mom) to earn this title in a year.  She has been learning agility for two years now and has not gotten a single title yet.  She knows that it will take more work to be successful at agility than flyball (especially if mom keeps out of her path on the way to obsticals) but she is willing to work hard!


Taz has been learning flyball for a year and a half now and has acheived his FDCh (Flyball Dog Champion) this year.  He has a long way to go to get his FM like Pepper and will likely be another year before he hits the lane full time.  Taz was running in agility but found that it was WAY to exciting to concentrate on so we have backed off on his training.  He is planning to hit the jumps and contacts again in the spring of 2010!!

Both Pepper and Taz got the opportunity to try their paws at herding sheep this year.  They passed with flying colors and definitely have the desire to work sheep.  Now to find a flock closer to home is our next goal so we can continue to hone their skills!
