Sooooo….I fucked up. I forgot to pay the damn website bill, and forgot for long enough that they no longer had my website backed up. I had backed up most of my posts. I thought I had backed up all the content. I checked my home computer. I checked my office computer. I checked my tablet. I checked […]

The Best Agility Trial Gear (aka How to Pack for a Trial Like a Champ)
There’s a lot of choices when it comes to picking your trial gear, and what you need (and what would just be really nice to have) will likely change over time as you trial more, settle into your competition habits, add new dogs, etc. Even after trialling for a few years I still find myself […]
#NationalDogDay and Winning Jump Design
So just in case your FB news feed has somehow not been filled with that hashtag accompanied by emphatically cute puppy photos…aw, who are we kidding? If you’re reading this you know exactly what day it is. Happy National Dog Day!! In other news my DIY Wing Jump design just won in Clean Run‘s […]
Course Maps! Pushes, threadles, and obstacle descrims, oh my!
So I’ve been dabbling with making my own course maps. Mostly because I have limited equipment and limited space, and trolling around online to find stuff that perfectly fits my criteria can take forever. So as I like this blog to be a resource for others I thought I’d share some of the maps I’ve […]
New name, new design, and hopefully renewed focus
So for anyone whose been here before (all three of you) you might have noticed some big changes. When I first started this blog it was just me and Mufaasa, which made the title “Mufaasa and Me” seem like the best bet (also, alliteration is awesome). But since then Raafael has entered my life, I’m […]
Blogger Action Day: Continuing Education (in all it’s myriad forms).
Education in agility has come a long way, even in the last few years. Handling methods are becoming more refined, training across the globe is becoming more consistent, and there are avenues for learning that will work for just about anyone. The main problem being, of course, figuring out which one is going to be […]
Leave the Ring Nerves out of the ring. Yes, it’s that easy, and that hard.
As a child I was very shy. Anyone who knows me now will likely find that surprising. These days I am fairly comfortable in my skin, liberal, and frankly quite shameless (much to my friends’ discomfort). But as a kid I was very quiet, and often happy to be left in my own little world. […]
Aging in Agility
Hmm, aging. Such a short word, and one that invokes such terror in some. And it is timely (is that a pun?) that such a topic in the latest Dog Agility Bloggers event should show up just over two weeks before I turn thirty. There’s all these preconceptions about hitting the big three-oh that I’m […]
K9 Boot Camp?
You know, I like to think of myself as being fairly healthy. I don’t eat out too much (like, once or twice a month, and it’s usually sushi or samosas), I don’t consume too many overly processed foods (except for cup ramen). I also walk a lot. Like, at least an hour every day and […]
Mufaasa is two years old!
Goodness, it’s hard to believe, but my crazy puppy is already two years old. It doesn’t seem like I’ve had him for that long, and he certainly doesn’t act like a mostly adult dog (or even a partially adult dog), but he is. He’s still crazy, steals stuff out of the garbage, runs off with my […]
