Of Cones and Chicken

Greetings Blog Readers of All Species!

I am writing today to talk about my sister Hasten and a visitor.
But first, I want to share the link to one of the runs I had in Fredericksburg, VA on Memorial Day weekend. Mom was so excited about our Double Q so here it is:


Memorial Day Trial Sunday runs

Next, Hasten had surgery and life is pretty crazy around here. She keeps tearing off her bandages and now is wearing a Cone of Shame --or as Dad calls it the Cone of Silence---she is quite bored now and is reaching optimum crazy level and it hasn't even been a week! I am not looking forward for the time when she is off leash and out of the Xpen--she will drive me crazy!

In addition, last night Mom saw a chicken on the side of the road. Since this is a poultry town, there are many stories of chickens escaping the dreaded trucks that haul them to their demise. This was one such chicken. She and Samy chased it down and caught it and brought it home. We wanted to name her something that represented her being saved ...like Redeemed or Ms. Freedom but my Aunt Kelli said to name her Mrs. Chicken McNuggets...

I have been obsessed with her for the past day--I checked on her all evening--tried to find ways of getting to her (she was on the front porch) I even tried to go behind the big TV/Entertainment center---to see if there was a secret passageway to the porch--but alas they kept me from her. They did move her so I could look at the window and check on her regularly.

Sadly I have to report, that although she made it through the morning and seemed ok--she died before noon today. Sad. I keep looking for her....

That's all for now folks!
Barclay, the Reluctant agility dog...but if they had animals in agility (besides dogs) that would be cool!
