I have once again not posted here in a long time. Just about a year, I believe, which is pretty bad. I haven’t been having a good time competing with Raafael in agility and it turns out there’s a very good reason for that. My little monkey has Medial Shoulder Syndrome (MSS). It is classified […]

End of the Year Review: I learned some lessons, and none of them were what I would have predicted
Last weekend marks the official end of the 2015 Agility Season for myself and pretty much everyone in the Maritimes. Even though we were 0/8 in the Q department after two days of competition, Raafi managed to finish off the year really well at our last trial, which might seem like a funny thing to […]
Wisdom Panel DNA Test Review: Huh? Wait, what?
So there’s been a long standing joke about Raafi’s parentage. Basically, no one could come up with a definitive guess as to what his mix was beyond “German Shepherd and something, probably a kangaroo.” And while it doesn’t really make much of a difference (at three-and-a-half years old his personality is pretty well formed and […]
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 […]
Summer trialling update
So I left off my last post with a weird little proclamation about how I was going to look at running Mufaasa, and a hopeful note about how Raafi’s confidence in competition has come along. I’ve attended a few trials since then and the results have been mixed, but generally good. I’m really in a strange […]
Defining Success and Failure, and how they sometimes end up being the same thing
As usual the Dog Agility Blog Action Day topic has given me an opportunity to talk about something in a way I might not have planned. The subject this time is “Success”, a sometimes nebulous concept to try and define, especially in the moment after you stumble out of the ring. It just so happens that […]

Fun at the Beach
I have a much longer post that I’m working on right now, but in the meantime enjoy this lil’ video I put together to show Raafi’s first day swimming in the ocean with his pals. The fog was thick (but only at the beach, it was blisteringly hot everywhere else) which actually made it perfect […]
