Hello from Jax and Poe

[setsail1999]

With the board shake up I thought I would mosey over and give everyone an update on the collie kids. The house is still wrapping up so we are living in our basement while they finish the kitchen and master bedroom *sigh*. We ended up having to be out of the apartment before the house was habitable so we had to stay in a hotel for a week. They have been the most awesome little troopers. Between the moving, having all new stuff around them, the hotel, etc. My car broke down while on a trip so they had to be shuffled between various cars, hotels and then had to be calm for like 2.5 hours while we waiting in the hotel lobby for the car to be done *sigh*.

Competition wise, Poe was on fire in her last tournament. Ran some great times and kept her box turn all weekend. She ran like a pro! So proud of her. We have one in 2 weeks and then she should get her next title (15,000 pt - FMCh) in June.

Jackson and I have had a rough time on the field. Just too busy to practice and too stressed to focus. But we had a lot of fun and we earned an alternate spot for the Disc Dog Nationals Woot!!!

Poe is learning some canine freestyle stuff and Jackson is getting more revved with age lol. We stayed with a bunch of dogs this weekend and the pups were exhausted and we had to separate the 11yo boy because he would NOT stop pestering them!

So they are doing well and happy to be home, even if we are trapped in the basement lol.

Now lets see if I'm smart enough to post a few pictures and a video.

Jackson and Poe playing their daily game of bitey face. They play like this every morning when they wake up and again before they go to bed. I have trouble believing they are 5 and 11 LOL!

So happy to hear from you! I hope life returns to normal soon. Glad to hear the "kids" are doing well.

Poeser!

Awww, Poe is as cute as ever. Hopefully, things will be back to normal soon.

Poe is my favorite! Hope the odyssey with the house will be over soon!

I love this video - totally made my morning!

I find it funny when they gum one another like yours do/did, they sneeze.

Mine go into these "gumming" wars with one another, but then sneeze like crazy throughout doing it! Or at least my girl, Luci does. She sneezes throughout this whole video that I have.

Glad to hear that you are at least back in your own home! Hopefully the rest of the repairs go quickly and smoothly. And congrats on earning a spot for Disc Dog Nationals!

Glad to hear things are starting to get back to normal. I loved the pics you posted on D&R a while ago of the new house facade--it looks GREAT! Hope to see more pics as the progress continues

Much love to Jackson and Poe Congrats on Nationals!

I am so glad to have seen this! Miss Poe looks absolutely beautiful. It has been a long time coming for you to get your home back so I am stoked to read that you are at least in.

Glad to hear you are all doing well! Poe has to be one of cutest dogs of all time. Going to watch the video later.

Argh!!!! No, it is always the same weekend at the regional disc qualifier that my husband judges It is also only 30-45 mins away so we are sticking close to home. But I've heard the 'Nut is an awesome time and I wish I could go

Boo! Dangit! We're also going to Foxboro in July, but I'm sure that's a little too far for you guys. Someday!

PS - The video was too funny!
