Sunny Sunday

 This picture was taken right into the sun. Im surprised it came out at all.  It was freezing this morning, I think 29 degrees.  We were complaining how cold we were and then this lady in a tennis skirt passes us. Hmmmm.

I havent done to much this week. Monday I was down and out sick. Then Tuesday my son has his wisdom teeth out. Thursday I drove up to North Carolina to go to a Best Buy that was holding an ipad for me. I had gone on to BestBuy's website. It had a ipad 3 for a 100.00 cheaper then anywhere else  but you had to pick it up in the store. When I clicked on which store had one, none. What the heck??  I looked in Ga, NC, SC and Va. So I went on "chat" with Bestbuy and ask them about it. They wouldnt answer my question on "why do you advertise something for that price if I cant get it?'. Its like a bait and switch.  But they wouldnt answer the question. She just kept saying, "Is there anything else I cant do for you?"  I was so mad. Then I tried again the next day and one was available in Gastonia NC. Thats about 2 hours from me. So I bought it. I drove up on Thursday  and got it. I aslo stopped at a store my husband had a gift card for, for winning a race. The store is only in Charlotte.  The only bad thing that happened was the GPS that is in my car, the GPS is 4 years old,  all of a sudden said I wasnt on a road anymore. I was just flying through the air. Ugh. So I got lost and had to go 20 extra miles to get there. Stupid GPS. Thats what I get for getting the GPS loaded  in the dash of the car  when I bought it. The only way to update the GPS maps is to buy a new DVD. They want 200 dollars for it. That insane. I could buy a small unit for 100.00 with lifetime maps updates. Not sure what Im going to do about that. I always print out Mapquest when I go some where just in case my GPS cant find something.  I wasnt paying attention when I realized I was lost on Thursday but its a good thing I had the printed directions to get me back on track.
Friday, it was so freaking windy outside, I just did some Christmas shopping.

Saturday we went to the field to practice.  I used the ipad to shoot the practice.


The video was grainy looking and  I was disappointed. Then after googling information about it, I realized I didnt hit the HD button when I loaded it. So I tried again.



So this turned out much better.

Then I was thinking, to bad the ipad doesnt let you trim the video's. So I googled that and it does. It just wasnt some obvious button to hit. But I was able to figure it out.
Here is Java practicing dogwalks and weaves. She keeps popping the last pole, so I have work to do there.



It was freezing this morning but we took the dogs for a walk. Everyone had fun.



 Even Guiness got to practice restrained recalls. He doesnt get off leash to much. I worry about him running after something and not coming back. Like at the beach 5 years ago. Ugh!



Its almost Christmas. I only have one person that I still need to get something for. I just cant think of what to get.

Looks like a great sunny day!

We have an ipad, and the only thing I know how to do on it is surf the web.

Java is doing awesome! Wow she is fast!
I love that picture of your husband jumping the log LOL! It would be funny to recreate all the pictures we take of dogs with people! Ha ha!

Looks like fun! I think it is very cool that your husband goes with you to the field and on walks. Nice guy! :)

I'm really glad that you posted this. We've been debating about getting an ipad but also need it to shoot video for agility (might as well kill two birds with one stone). I think it looks pretty good! One question--does it zoom at all? Seems like maybe it doesn't. I thought I read somewhere that there are cheap apps you can get to get it to zoom, but I'm not sure.

Also, I couldn't believe that was Java in the videos. She looks terrific!

Yay new toys! Looks like you guys are having a good few days leading up to Christmas, even if it is super cold.

Ashley, no the Ipad doesnt zoom. But so far it looks like it does pretty well. Im going to try it out, hopefully, on the 27th at a trial.
