Rainy days call for sister cuddles 🌧️ 🥰

Hi Friends!

Sorry mom hasn’t been as active on this page as she previously once was. I promise she is still taking care of us, going to dog events, and my personal favorite… weekly agility training. We have been busy in dog life and personal life.

I hope you all are enjoying the mud as much as Chesney, Enzo and me. Mom says her floors are a never ending chore to keep clean right now (sorry mom!).

Well that’s it for now, it’s play time with my sister and brother. Mom told me she promises to keep you all in the loop going forward!

Love always,
Seger 💜

Kenny Chesney sang it best “Cause everybody needs to break free from reality”.

Kenny Chesney didn’t disappoint last night in concert. He has been on my bucket list to see for over six years (since our Chesney was a baby). When my friend asked if I wanted to join her and her mom last fall to see him in concert, I didn’t hesitate and jumped on the opportunity.

I have now seen all three singers who the girls were named after: Montgomery Gentry “Gentry”, Kenny Chesney “Chesney”, Bob Seger “Seger”.

Although Kenny didn’t sing “Live A Lil’” (who Chesney is named after), I had so much fun last night! I’m grateful for my friends to allow me to go and break from reality a little bit!

Keeping Kort and his family (along with the rest of our Nebraska friends) in our thoughts and prayers.

Kort’s house was hit last night in the Nebraska tornadoes—their house had roof damage along with flooding. Donna and Sean are all okay thankfully.

If anyone needs our help, let us know! We can come and help or take an extra dog if needed until you are back on your feet.

Tomorrow night starts another eight weeks of agility training or eight months of conditioning total. It’s been a slow learning process for both Seger and Jordan, but with lots of determination and help from their instructor they are making great progress. Agility has pushed the pair out of their comfort zone and maybe one day will give them the confidence to compete.

I saw a picture in my memories of Gentry today. So…. I thought I would share the same picture on this page also. 💜 She definitely was one special girl.

Happy THIRD Birthday to Maggie, Enzo, Lilibet, Oliver, Gabi, Sunny, Willow, and Paisley (ChesneyxKash 2021)! They came into this world with lots of excitement—emergency c-section in the middle of Covid restrictions, yet they are all thriving in their families! I couldn’t ask for a better litter and Gentry’s Pride human family!

Enjoy some pictures of the eight weeks we had together! 💜

DockDogs Dock Diving Event Redwood Falls, Minnesota July 15-16, 2023 Gentrys Pride Live A Lil’ Chesney “Chesney” I wasn’t able to go to an event this past weekend with Chesney, but a good friend offered to take Chesney for me instead. Brianna is very familiar with DockDogs venue and did an excellent job of handling Chesney. To be honest with you all, I have been practicing a lot with Chesney this year in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, but Chesney is very attached to me. I was nervous she wouldn’t jump for Brianna……. But, Chesney literally had me in tears. I was so proud of her!!! For her first event ever, Chesney jumped 12’2”, 11’2”, 10’10”, 10’8” in Big Air. She was able to get three second place ribbons and one fourth place ribbon for her division. Brianna originally only planned on taking her on Saturday, but then thought Chesney might qualify for finals on Sunday. Brianna took her back on Sunday and she made finals!!! She jumped a 12’6” (her best jump all weekend) and ended up getting second place in her division in finals. She was also able to receive 4 of 5 legs towards her junior title. Brianna also tried speed with Chesney, which she jumped off the dock for. However, she didn’t know to get the toy at the end. More practice and training—one day, she will get it! I cannot thank Brianna enough for offering to take my crazy Chesney. She made sure Chesney had the best care. Special thank you to Brianna’s parents and boyfriend for allowing Chesney to stay overnight, and for helping with multiple potty breaks, taking videos, and loving on Chesney. Also, thank you to many of Brianna’s friends for all your love and support for Chesney’s first event. Finally, thank you DockDogs for making Chesney’s dreams come true—she got to swim all weekend! I look forward to doing more events with Chesney in the future! She is such a fun dog. This weekend gave us a good baseline on where we need more training. However, my fav

I left for one night…. Less than 24 hours to go to Nebraska for a mini girl’s trip. I come home yesterday and Chesney lost her mind. 😂 Clearly, I never leave without my dogs coming with me.

A Dog's Heartbeat

How to calculate a dog's heartbeat: Count the beats for 15 seconds; multiply that number by 4. An adult dog's average heart rate is 120 to 160 beats per minute.

Life with a Golden….. forever hugs, love and attention. Chesney reminds me so much of her momma Gentry. ❤️

It's an important tool for the dog, for sure!

Baby steps! Fun, short video for everyone to watch. This is Chesney from Sunday’s dock diving practice. She will get to the big dock this winter, I just know it!

Safety first!

BLAST FROM THE PAST FRIDAY: ***Not a current litter*** Pink girl (GentryxBeau 2017) now known as Lizzie saying hello to the world only a few hours old. She also happened to be the smallest girl Gentry ever gave birth too, weighting only 11 ounces. Fun fact: Chesney’s smallest puppy was purple girl, now known as Gabi. Gabi weighted 8 ounces at the time of birth.

BLAST FROM THE PAST FRIDAY: That time Jake and I thought we were crazy to travel to Kansas with three dogs in the truck for heart clearances! 😂😂😂 Now, we travel with four at all times. We truly are blessed to have such great companions to travel with us. Video taken August 2020 on the way to Manhattan, Kansas. This trip was definitely my favorite dog trip, so far. Jake and I had so much fun sight-seeing on the backroads.

Seger and Chesney’s speeds from FCAT trials in Seward, Nebraska on May 6-8. Please note this was our first time doing these events. It was rainy, windy, and muddy, very muddy! To say the least, Jake and I are very proud of our girls. They both qualified 6 of 6 runs that weekend. Jake does the releasing for me (I’m so beyond grateful to have a boyfriend who helps, supports, and comes with to help me), while I wait 100 yards away to catch at the end. I wish you all could see their faces when they come running down the track towards me. They were both “smiling” with their ears high in the air. This is definitely one of their favorite things to do! ••• Formula: 204.545/time=mph Handicap: 1 ••• Int/Nat/HnrCH Gentrys Pride Roll Me Away Seger CGC TKN “Seger” Trial #1: 9.77 seconds = 20.94 mph Trial #2: 8.90 seconds = 22.98 mph Trial #3: 8.68 seconds = 23.57 mph Trial #4: 8.80 seconds = 23.24 mph Trial #5: 8.81 seconds = 23.22 mph Trial #6: 8.78 seconds = 23.30 mph Total points: 137.25 Average: 22.88 mph ••• Gentrys Pride Live A Lil’ Chesney CGC TKN “Chesney” Trial #1: 11.58 seconds = 17.66 mph Trial #2: 10.51 seconds = 19.46 mph Trial #3: 9.04 seconds = 22.63 mph Trial #4: 9.35 seconds = 21.88 mph Trial #5: 8.88 seconds = 23.03 mph Trial #6: 9.16 seconds = 22.33 mph Total points: 126.99 Average: 21.17 mph ••• Jake and I are running both dogs next weekend to (hopefully) have better weather and complete their AKC BCAT titles. For BCAT titles, the dogs need a total of 150 points. This means we are less than 25 points away on Seger and Chesney! Be watching for updates on page! ••• Video of Seger running her first trial ever! Please excuse my voice. I literally had laryngitis two days before this video was taken. My voice was still in “repair” mode. Don’t tell my doctor I was out competing. 😜
