You say, "more agility.....". Do you compete? Do you have a course/equiment at home? Classes? Tell me more, tell me more.



I have Agility (and Trick) Trained.... Betta and Gold Fish, Mice, Hamsters, Gerbils, Pet Rats, Guinea Pigs, Rabbits, Cats, Dogs, Goats, a Pony, Donkeys, and Horses, on Agility Equipment. SO FUN! Such a GREAT bonding and training tool! My husband made almost every single piece of equipment for me. I made a lot of the Horse Agility Equipment, easy stuff. I wish I had taken so many more photos. But when your working with the animals, you do not stop midway and get out your phone and....but there are some photos here.... marnasmenagerie.com



Katy would love Agility. We have a Cat Tunnel, the type that fold down, it's about 6' long, behind our couch in the Living Room (right next to their 7' big ole Kitty Kondo, next to their litter, Ha Ha) anyway, Katy runs through it for fun all the time. RUNS! So Cute. I was already thinking about having Deron build her a few pieces of Agility Equipment.



Weight Loss IS mostly about not putting things in your mouth. But for ME, if I do not Work Out..... sighs, cause I hate it..... I can gain weight so easy, so danged easy.


I had some terrible Lung problems. Honestly. Fixed with sticking to eating right, we eat VERY LITTLE salt, and Working Out. I started walking, at first when I started, for very short walks, because very short walks WERE ALL I COULD DO. Sighs again..... I have to get on this 16 pounds before it becomes 20 pounds. 20 will lead to 50 for me. Sighs....yet again.



Now you have me sitting here thinking...... I need to go to SD (we still own our place there, but for how long?) and get our Agility Equipment! I had Cocker Spaniels, so some of the Equipment is small..... Ha Ha

I just mostly do it for fun right now but would one day love to complete. I found the most awesome local trainer and trainers that have lots of classes and even an agility group that goes to competitions. My dad has built me some stuff and he’s pretty awesome with it. Have you heard of do more with your dog? It’s where you can earn trick dog titles and stunt dog titles. It’s fun. My oldest boy Joey who will be 4 in February has his expert trick title and we are working toward his champion trick dog title. It’s fun to put on little shows with Joey and see the smiles on everyone faces. My yorkies are bigger yorkies but it’s still fun to show people how smart they can be. All 4 of mine have their Canine Good Citizens title too. I really love training. They are thinking I might have a thyroid issue because all my numbers are high so I am getting a ultra sound done and that could be one of my weigh issue causes. I also have PCOS which makes things a bit harder. But I am determined to get some weight off so hopefully I can figure everything out.
