Hi all, and welcome back to Tilda Tuesdays! If you're coming here for running advice, I'll be back with more running posts later this week. But Tuesdays are officially all about our vizsla Matilda. Today, let's talk about grooming! One really great characteric of the vizsla breed is that they are a very clean dog that needs minimal grooming. They only shed a tiny bit (we don't even notice).

Fits Do Race Reviews: Hyland 7 Miler: The Endless Summer Trail Run Series
Last Tuesday night, I ran the last trail run of the Endless Summer Trail Run Series (not so endless after all, eh?) This summer, I ran the French 5k and the Lebanon Jensen 10k. I missed the Lebanon Schulze 7 mile, and now did the Hyland 7 miler this week. I wish I would have been able to participate in all 4 of the races in the series, but 3 out of 4 isn't bad. At each race, you get a Continue Reading

Fits Do Race Reviews: The Urban Wildland Half Marathon
Two Saturdays ago (August 2nd), I ran the Urban Wildland Half Marathon. I “previewed” this race in THIS POST, and in THIS POST I talked about what I did to pump Erin up for the race. Spoiler alert...Unfortunately, my sister didn’t reach her goal of running under two hours this time around, but I have all the confidence that she can do it next time! But it was just too hot and humid on Continue Reading
Tilda Tuesdays: Training Your Vizsla
Welcome back to Tilda Tuesdays! After last week’s puppy pics, this week I thought I'd share a little bit about the training we have done with Matilda over the years. As soon as we could, we signed her up for “Puppy Training” through The Canine Coach. We selected the Canine Coach because of all the awesome reviews on Angie’s List. They also have multiple locations (Minneapolis, St. Continue Reading
