What's on this Site?
All kinds of
information I have gathered on a variety of topics - canine agility, sun
shelters, backpacking with your
dog, and canine restraint systems. The following links will lead you to more
information on these topics.
 The
AgilePooch Blog! I have recently begun using a blog instead of
updating this website, and although I haven't transferred everything over,
most of my new articles are going there. This blog covers a wide variety of
topics of special interest to me, including:
- Hurricane
Katrina: The
Lamar-Dixon Chronicles -
following Hurricane Katrina, a couple of friends of mine decided to go to
New Orleans and help out in the animal rescue efforts. This led to a
grass roots funding drive and volunteer effort within the California agility
community that resulted in $7500 dollars being raised to support 10 volunteers
traveling to New Orleans over a period of 6 weeks. I
have reposted all of the e-mails on my own blog - in chronological order for
ease of reading. In addition, I have posted some
Photos from our volunteers.
- Xylitol
Toxicosis - I recently experienced this first-hand, when
my young rescue climbed up on his crate, reared up on his rear legs, and
found an unopened 18-pack of Trident Original gum.
- Canine Agility
Information
- What is Canine Agility - and how do
you get started?
- How do you keep track of all those USDAA
Titles? Download
my new and improved USDAA Title Tracking
spreadsheet - all you do is enter the dates you earned legs, and it
automatically shows you which titles you've earned and how many legs you
have toward LAAs. It even accounts for the rule change on 1/1/04.
- What's on my MP3 player?
As one of two unofficial DJ's for the
Bay Team
trials (Mike Scannell is the original one), I get the opportunity to share (some
might say impose) my varied and somewhat eclectic music preferences with those
who enter our CPE trials. On the whole the response has been positive. In fact,
many people have asked me what is on my MP3 player. I constantly add and change
it, but this is what I have as of 8/11/07.
- Product Reviews
- I tend to do a lot of
research when I decide to buy a new product. Since I use the Internet a lot
to look for reviews, every once in a while I decide to give back by
publishing my findings. Once I make a decision, I don't update, so all of
these findings represent what was available at a point in time. I hope you
find the information useful, but please don't write to complain that it's
out of date or to let me know about new products.
