Percy's Pad

I have 3 dogs a Chow Chow/German Shepherd, an Australian Cattle Dog, and now an Australian Shepherd. The Aussie is the first dog I have aquired specifically to be a performance dog, and this blog is about our adventures.

DEC 27th and 28th


Percy and I went to the Boston Terrier trial in Elma, WA the weekend after Christmas and had a blast! It was a really fun trial and we did pretty well. On Saturday we started out the day with a jumper's with weaves run.  WE started out great, but then I got lost on the course and Percy figured out I didn't know what I was doing so we lost our connection and missed a few jumps and didn't qualify. The course felt kind of random when I was walking it so I wasn't really surprised that I got lost, but we tried hard anyway. That afternoon we got to do our standard run, which as close to perfect as we could get. We qualified and got 1st place! That was our second qualifying standard run, both of them in 1st place to so I felt very good about it! On Sunday we struggled in the jumper's class again, probably I was just late with my signals, but again we started out nicely but somehow lost our connection. We had another flawless standard run in the afternoon. This time we did not finish in the placements as we were in 5th place, but we still qualified and that gave Percy his first agility title. Yeah for us!

About Me

Percy'sPad
Graham, Wa., United States
I grew up around Seattle Wa., but have lived in Austria and Connecticut. I am a registered nurse and work in the operating room. My immediate family consists of 4 dogs and one cat. Recently I had to put my yellow lab to sleep. He had a bladder tumor and it was time to let him go. Although I am down to 3 dogs of my own, I foster dogs for the Australian Shepherd Rescue so sometimes have a visiting dog for a while:p)
