Agility is Poetry in Motion
Do you like poetry? Are you the budding Wordsworth or Keats of the canine
world? Do you think in iambic pentameter or dream in haiku. If you have ever
scribbled a poem on the back of a show schedule while waiting in the car
park for your go or written a verse to show how you feel about your dog, you
are not alone. |

Canine Cook
With
the emphasis on natural healthy eating, it is not surprising that many agility people looking
for ways to feed their dog with nutritious and reasonably priced food rather than
shop-bought pet food. The best way to know what goes into your dog’s food is to make
it yourself. Why
take a chance? Make your dog's food yourself. It's not as difficult as you expect. You don't
have to be a Master Chef, Gordon Ramsey or Jamie Oliver to cook up something tasty for your
dog. Here is a selection of home-made treats and special diets that you can try at home.
For those people whose dogs have renal failure or
need special diets, there are also tried and true
recipes for you. |

Webster. (27/08/02) |

Diary of a Self-Isolator
Penny
Heal is in the self-isolating age category and, like all of us, is having
difficulty adapting to a way of life with none of her usual activities which
include PAT visiting, Agility and Obedience training and competing in both,
garden visiting and other hobby social groups. She works at home as a proof reader
and is very grateful to be able to walk Orla, her 14-year-old retired Patterdale
X and Zorro, her 4-year-old collie. But she's finding it harder than she
thought it would be. |

Have Your Say
Agility people may be better at navigating a course than writing a story but, thanks to social media, most of us have a chance to say what we think and share
our acquired experiences. This is a place where you can express your personal
opinion. It's what we're here for. Put pen to paper - or fingers to keyboard
and send us your ideas. |
