agile puppy

the other day mac and i were at a garage sale. a man holding a rottweiler beanie baby saw mac and gave mac the toy. mac loved it; the guy proceeded to take a bunch of pictures of mac with the toy.

tonight mac and i drove to long beach for the third time. we've been going to agility classes there. bad dog is perfectly obedient and a great learner, but he doesn't yet have much drive to run the obstacles. he's more interested in finding treats that other dogs have dropped and looking at other dogs.

going to long beach has also given me a taste of LA's legendary traffic. so far it seems that getting to long beach at 6:15pm is one of those funny traffic things that is impossible. i can leave pasadena at 4:30 and get to long beach at 6pm, or i can leave pasadena at 5:15 or 5 and get there at 6:30. on my way home, it takes, wait for it, 25 minutes. that's three times as long with traffic as without. obviously this is not a viable long term proposition.
