Although I haven't done it much lately. Whenever there's a party to plan I throw myself into it. I think of it as a hobby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hobbies-1/page/2#post-1146126 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 18:45:24 +0000 Beebug 1146126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: I have been focused on CKC only so far! We have AAC our next most popular "series", I have heard is like USDAA, then CPE and UKI are less popular here, I have never trialed them! Want to talk spoiled? I have the most trainable, driven Golden! He weaves insanely fast and runs slightly slower then BCs, which if you have a sheltie you hopefully know fast, too!!! I'm up to excellent in jumpers and standard, but dropped his jump height and in CKC you have to start over so we just got out of novice for the 2nd time, lol. AKC you can drop and keep going, CKC have to start over, cash grab! He is a weird size (between 20 and 21 inches, way under male breed standard!) so we have struggled in a sense to figure out what jump height he is best suited for! We are taking most of the winter off, I need to get him about 10lbs lighter for "true" performance weight (he is good pet weight!) for next season, but now that I am pg (early still) I am not sure what a May due date will do to our agility season, ooops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hobbies-1/page/2#post-1146056 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 17:42:48 +0000 sunny 1146056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like crafting, photography and software development... If watching TV doesn't count! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hobbies-1/page/2#post-1146044 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 17:30:06 +0000 StrawberryBee 1146044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: awesome! I recognize you're in Canada, but what venue(s) do you play in? We started in NADAC and CPE, then cut out NADAC and just did CPE. She got her C-ATCH last September. We never ran in AKC because my first dog is a Japanese Spitz (not a breed recognized by AKC) and my second, though a Sheltie, isn't papered and I never got her ILP'd. That was before they started allowing 'other' dogs in. We did DOCNA and UKI and USDAA a handful of times. </p> <p>I'm afraid that my sheltie has spoiled me ;). She was so easy to train that I'm afraid to start with a terrier. Sniff sniff sniff! *wander*</p> <p>annnd I realize that I just threw a lot of terms in this post that no one in their right mind would understand lol. For those who are curious:</p> <p>NADAC: North American Dog Agility Council<br /> CPE: Canine Performance Events<br /> C-ATCH: CPE Agility Trial Champion<br /> AKC: American Kennel Club<br /> ILP: Indefinite Listing Privilege (allows you to sign your unregistered purebred dog up with AKC to do their events)<br /> DOCNA: Dogs On Course in North America<br /> UKI: UK Agility International<br /> USDAA: United States Dog Agility Association </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hobbies-1/page/2#post-1145979 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 16:40:17 +0000 Beehive 1145979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Knitting and crocheting, mostly blankets and stuffed animals for DS these days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hobbies-1/page/2#post-1145946 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 16:15:02 +0000 travellingbee 1145946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to salsa dance a lot. Like 4 days a week! Now my hobbies are cooking and taking care of my baby ;). Really though, I love cooking, and would love to take some classes. I want to learn to cut vegetables like a pro! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hobbies-1/page/2#post-1145943 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 16:12:44 +0000 shinymama 1145943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reading, baking, bargain shopping, and paper crafts {cards, banners, etc.}. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hobbies-1/page/2#post-1145735 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 14:09:33 +0000 Freckles 1145735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Hahhaa, okay, you uncovered my real reason. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hobbies-1/page/2#post-1145729 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 14:07:25 +0000 psw27 1145729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>running, reading and baking I suppose.

Since I haven't gone in a few years I am incredibly rusty and a total weakling! I also haven't gone real outdoor climbing yet because I also haven't taken lead lessons. I really enjoy indoor climbing and finding the right weather to go outdoor climbing here is hard and I'm also lazy... Hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hobbies-1#post-1145696 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 13:56:16 +0000 Springtime 1145696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like baking, crafting, and decorating.

When I am not working or watching LO (which is harder work than my actual job), I like to play piano, sing, journal, and exercise (when I am not pregnant).</p> <p>Before baby I did a lot of repurposing furniture, painting, and decorating.</p> <p>In the summertime, DH and I take our boat out and cruise around, innertube, wakeboard, fish, etc. LO likes the boat, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hobbies-1#post-1145657 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 13:44:00 +0000 .twist. 1145657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: @wonderstruck: ah! I totally missed that you two love rock climbing! HB rock climbing club pleeeeease! I haven't gone in a few years because my partner moved 2 hours away and I can't find another one. I've been doing it since I was 12!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hobbies-1#post-1145649 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 13:41:10 +0000 wonderstruck 1145649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: I haven't either! I'm trying to convince DH to at least check out an indoor place for it with me, he's never done it at all.</p> <p>I like the idea of cooking and baking as a hobby, but it doesn't work out so well in practice for me, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hobbies-1#post-1145641 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 13:39:08 +0000 .twist. 1145641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: uh. Yes. ;) </p> <p>Reading, rock climbing, knitting. </p> <p>I've recently done a bit of knitting, although reading and rock climbing have taken a major back seat since L. Sadly. I want to get back on the rock wall so badly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hobbies-1#post-1145634 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 13:35:55 +0000 Emsmems 1145634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to scrapbook, but now that takes too much time, so I just make cards when I need one.

I was about to write "dog agility" and was skimming the posts and so excited to see yours! Hopefully you can start again soon, those Q's are soooo addicting.</p> <p>So yes.....hobby was horses, now that I'm a Mom I've downgraded to jumping dogs instead, lol. Running too, ummm DIY projects count I think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hobbies-1#post-1145135 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 10:07:17 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1145135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reading, definitely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hobbies-1#post-1145132 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 10:06:47 +0000 MrsBrewer 1145132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Wine DEFINITELY counts! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hobbies-1#post-1145130 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 10:06:31 +0000 MrsBrewer 1145130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hobby is sewing!
