Tuesday Night Training

Finally managed to slip away from puppy duties and get on the bike. It was a fast paced training. I did 10kms before the others arrived then we started about 9:30pm.
One guy escaped on the first lap and we never caught him. We tried pretty hard to catch him too.
Considering I hadn’t been on the [...]

Day 10 Lunar & Sora & Puppies
March 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment
The puppies are usually sleeping and not too active yet, so to liven up these daily youtube clips I’ve got Sora to do a few Beckham impersonations and Lunar is doing a Vitoria Spice one.
Not sure when I’ll be able to post a cycling message again. Hopefully tomorrow night if I resume training.

Airedale Puppy Tail Docking
March 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Well, I was quite surprised at how painless and easy this was. Our local vet wanted to charge us 25000 yen ($250)per puppy for the procedure and they had never done an Airedale before. We shopped around and decided to go to Sora’s (father) mother’s vet who did each puppy for 7000 yen ($70). That [...]

Lunar won’t eat her normal Science Diet dry food so I’m cooking her up liver and hearts and chicken and beef and also handfuls of tiny dried fish. Her calcium levels were a little low the other day so the fish should help.
She still has diarrhea and is walking around very slowly. She is a [...]

Breakfast at Tittany’s.

The pups are all growing fast. Putting on about 30 to 50 grams a day. Yesterday they went to the vet with Lunar for a quick check up. Mostly to see if Lunar was OK. She had 2 X-rays taken to make sure there were no pups still inside and there weren’t. She had a [...]

On March 20th at home:
Lunar and Sora would like to announce the birth of their first litter. Seven Samurai Airedale Puppies.(Actually 3 were born on the 19th)
At about 8pm I could hear a kitten like noise coming from Lunar’s indoor kennel. I ignored it for a while as I thought it was Lunar or [...]

Tuesday Night Semas & Gym
March 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Last night I made it to training after riding to Kasukabe and back.
60 windy km all up.
I didn’t want to push myself at training as I may go tonight as well and Wednesdays are usually harder.
A few of the less experienced riders are starting to ride stronger which is good for our team and makes [...]
