FreeCycle....

If you haven't heard of Freecycle, you should check it out.... It's a lot of extra email, but sometimes in there you can find a gem :) Today I picked up the first things I've decided to get Freecycled ... :) I've been the giver before, but never the recipient :)

3 crates... 2 large and 1 medium sized. There are chew marks, and they're in need of a good cleaning, but hey, you can never have enough crates, right?

And the Pièce de résistance.....

I finally got a treadmill!!!!!

It's missing a foot, causing it to sit sideways (easy to fix) and the lady said the rollers need oiling. I turned it on and it was ok.... it's not silent, but i wouldn't expect it to be.

First victim was Sedona.... who after a few attempts realized that Yes, I did indeed expect her to WALK on that thing....
Next Chance... he swore it was killing him and scurried backwards every time....
And then Kota, who didn't get it at first but was the most curious of them all... He figured it out, and once he did, he regretted it ;-)

So yay! Once I get the foot, *I* can use it too... but in the meantime, I can get the dogs going... especially after Kim S's handler lady said that Sedona could stand to lose a pound (yea yea, I know... it's not a problem ;-) )

I'm still so very tired..... no nap yet....

and the results are.....

Sedona & Chance's Dog Show Chariot

They BOTH got ribbons today! Yay! How sad, that I'm excited to get ribbons at all these day! LOL Yesterday Sedona was so far OUT of the ribbons it was sad... but today she was 3rd! :) I'll take what I can get ;-) She showed nicely and had a pretty ok time.... It was REALLY windy and the dogs were weird... both of my dogs were looking behind themselves a lot today... Not sure if it was the wind, or something I need to train them out of...
So in Sedona's class, Addy (Harry) was first, Bella was 2nd, Sedona was third and Crush was fourth. Winners bitch was Addy, and I think Bella was reserve..
Chance won his class which was nice :) And had he not completely decided to act like the biggest boy goon ever, we might have had a chance. Thanks Chance. Alright.. so Walker was behind Chance in Winners and he just wanted to look at Walker for some reason. So I grabbed his muzzle and was pulling it forward when he ROLLED with my pressure and rolled onto his back like a goon.... and yes, of course it was when the judge was looking. I think the judge really liked Chance, he just blew it at the wrong time. He will be a beautiful boy with some more maturing and coat... Winners Dog went to Jennifer's boy Cassidy, and reserve was Walker.
Left by 9:30am and have been busy ever since.... (you'll see those posts before you see this one...)

off to the show...again

Well, with another 3 hour night of sleep, the car is packed, I am dressed (tho I'm questioning myself with every passing moment), and I'm ready to toss the two kids in the car and Kota in his crate... I'm envisioning purple.... hope you all are too (for me, of course *wink*)
Updates later...
