Stuff

Went to our first team Flyball practice on Wednesday. Finally got a time on Willow. We started out at 5.8 seconds... which really sucks. She just sauntered down to the box, and blasted back to me. She was in a new building, with new dogs, and new people, plus she is used to doing about a 35 foot course and this one is the regulation 52 feet (one way) so a lot longer than she is used to. She did well with passing exercises and her precision is good, she runs a straight course and hits all four legs off the box! So, by the end of the night we had to down to 4.79... only a sixth of a second where I want her to be (I figure she can be at least a 4.2) Now that spring is almost here, I can get her out more and start working on her, our, stamina... we will need it as we start Agility on April 24th.

I took my Dukoral today... the Cholera vaccine.... yuck!!!! For those of you who have not done it, it is a drink, you mix these supposedly raspberry flavoured effervescent capsules in water then add the vaccine, then down the hatch! The first gulp is not so bad kinda like raspberry pop, the second is a little salty, and the third is downright gross! Thought I would puke! And, to make it that much better, there are two doses and the next is done next weekend!

Julie and I went shopping the other night for stuff for the trip... spent tonnes and then when I got home I was like "holy crap, what did I buy?" not much!!!! Still need to get a couple more things. All I really need to do now is take my second dose of Dukoral and pack! The plane tickets still haven't come in yet... hopefully soon. I'm afraid I will forget my passport! LOL
