- James doing weave poles
Hi! I’m James!
Mom is helping me with this post, but she doesn’t know much about blogs.
I am a miniature poodle. My fancy name is Tanzen Total Recall. I have lots and lots of obedience and agility titles. I used to compete in agility. I LOVED flying through the air over the jumps!
Let’s see if Mom can add a photo of me doing agility.
In 2000 I started to go blind due to PRA. But that didn’t bother me. I kept right on going. I learned to JUMP in agility when my Mom yelled jump! I still got lots of ribbons and rossettes. And every now and then I knocked down a jump. But I always get up again and keep on going.
I had to give up agility when I had no vision left at all. Now my favorite sport is SWIMMING. Mom! Add another photo.
I can’t wait to get back to the pool. I swim in the heated pool every Monday night. I haven’t been able to go since I broke my leg (THAT HURT HURT HURT!) and then I had surgery.
I have a big family, but Mom says that I am her FAVORITE. Mom, add a photo of all of us!
oodles of poodles!!! you are a very photogenic bunch!! thanks for the background on your life. maggie, of the ‘maine tripawd maggies’ is also an agility dog – can’t seem to understand why a guy would purposely run back and forth through all those poles..but then,
thanks for the post, can’t wait for the next installment.

I love the pics, the one of your whole pack is the best though! I’m not sure how you keep track of the family tree, I can’t even track my relatives that well and we don’t look nearly as much alike as you all. 😉
What a brave and little darling boy you are, and what a HUGE family!
Neither Catie nor Riley get the point of all those poles either. Riley would just want to rip one out of the ground and carry it around. Catie simply would walk around them.
Thank you for the pictures! Look forward to more updates!
I have always been proud of James…but never as proud as I am at his ability to deal with this new challenge. Go, James, Go!!!
