Well, I didn’t get as much done as I wanted, however I did manage to get the new end wall put together. Well, almost together. I need to do some trimming of the corner caps. This involves cutting concrete.
The new brick wallLooking down the driveway
Now the great thing is, the manufacturer of the bricks is a company called Allen Block and they have a great DIY section which includes instruction on how to do just that! Now all I have to do is track down the necessary tools. I’m sure Home Depot probably rents what I need. It’ll be something to work on when I get home.
The bricks came from Home Depot and are called “Rocky Mountain Blend” I love the look of the bricks and I can’t wait to get the corners done.
So as usual, stay tuned to this blog for more updates!
Back home after a great weekend in Quesnel and all I can say is “Thanks” to the Clear Sailing club. Their July trial is always a blast. What makes this trial unique is that it is all games. No standard runs, just jumpers, snooker, gamblers, steeplechase and for the diehards, challenge.
Denise and Keeper
The trial is always well attended as it’s usually the weekend before the Pawsitive Steps Camps. This year was no exception. Robert’s Roost was full with many agility enthusiast, and their dogs.
As usual, pictures and some video were taken. The set is on my SmugMug site and is available here.
So, how did it go?

Marc and Jasper earning their ATChC
Also on the weekend, one of my training friends Marc and his Border Collie Jasper earned their ATChC (Agility Trial Champion of Canada) title. the ATChC is considered to be the top title in Canadian agility. Beyond this title there are others, however there is a special significance in earning the ATChC. Congrats to Marc and Jasper.
And as a bonus, another team from Prince George, Dirk and his Border Collie Rex, also earned their ATChC title!
