Pinch Punch Post - October 2014

Hey all! Its a new month already, full of new challenges, training, competitions, success, canine-human love, and even some downers too - because aren't there always some not-so-amazingly-outstanding days in training and competing?!?! Of course there are.

Now, we are delighted to be announcing that the Pinch Punch Post may be adopting a new co-host, Frada, from the newish blog My Mutt - who told us she'd love to cohost, however never got back to me since… so we're hoping we'll hear from her before next month as I need her full permission and confirmation first of course.

We've also changed the PPP badge for the 3rd time now (3 badges, 3 hosts!!) However this time, with more co-hosts coming along, we've decided to keep our badge the same all the time, by only including us. That way its a lot easier for our hopper's along!

So the new badge, for the hopefully LAST time EVER!!!…

Grab our badge - use and share!

Thanks to cohost Jessica from My Dog Diaries again this month.

What do you think? Cool isn't it!!

So from now on, save this one above to your device or simply copy the URL to paste to display when you link up with us.

Anyway, onto what we have been up to as a three in the month of autumnal September…

The dogs dog ready to go back to school (Booooohoo!)!

(And so did Ethel, packing her school lunch)!

We came through a tough day with awards at Agility Nuts KC!

And shone through winning twice on the second day, and moving to Grade 5!

Ethel got a new harness!

Ethel trained on the Wobble Board!

We had a fun and successful day of goodies and friends at our club's fun dog day!

The dogs had scrambled egg after sicking up accidental (chewed) gum

The dogs felt the autumnal wind in their beards at Till Bridge!

Earl and I won jumping at Dog Vegas!

We came 2nd in a higher Grade which we were accidentally placed into!

Earl tried and tested the Stones Doggy Snack/Energy Bar!

Another busy busy month for sure!! And that's exactly how we like it!!

So what are we planning on doing in October?

~ Compete at a non-KC Agility Nuts Winter Series 1

~ Compete at a KC Dog Vegas

~ Start the half-term off with the pups
~ Have a fun and spooky time with the pups at Howl-O-Ween!

It should be another fun month.

What are did we plan on doing in September and have we managed it??

~ Compete at a Kennel Club Agility Nuts Competition 

Complete? Yes /

Complete? Yes /

~ Compete at KC Dog Vegas

You know, we're pretty good at ticking off every single planned thing in the space of only one month!!

You have 10 more days after today to enter the PPP Blog Hop - rules are HERE - enjoy! Your post can be as long or short or photographic or written as you want, as long as it goes by the theme as much as possible. 

We are also now going to start posting PPP blog hop posts the night before the 1st, so people have all day on the 1st to post. I will, from now on, make it so that you can start linking up at the end of the last day of each month. Makes it easier for everyone! :-)
