Garden Pups

2008-05-05T11:50:00.003-07:00

Mom said these are garden puppies, and I can't play with them at all. Since she grew them from seed, she plans to keep them safe inside the little fence. But I have been working on my high jumps so I can go in and play with them now and then.

We had to wait a long long time for another trial . . . but finally we loaded up and headed to my sister's house in Connecticut. We stayed over night with her and her Sammy, my niece, so we could go and play at a near-by trial in Hamden, Connecticut. I did my usual warm up run-off during the first class. So much fun to watch Mom pull her hair out. But she was happy for the next 3 classes when we got those Q things with the funny ribbons.
Then for the highlight of the day . . . Mom won a special raffle and we brought home a nice shinny red tunnel for me to play with. She is so happy. Now she has to find a way to keep it from rolling down the slope in our yard?

Hunting poo

Is this poo playing dress up?

My Dad, Andrew

We found this picture of my Dad, Andrew, playing in the snow. Mon says he looks just like me, only red.

2008 gility

2008-02-18T09:52:00.000-08:00

Finally! Our first gility event of the season. We played at Breeze Thru Agility in Brattleboro this past weekend. We were so very excited and mom had to help me remember my manors. Just so many new faces and other parts to check out.

We met some new poo friends, E.D. and Gracie. Gracie is E.D.'s mom. My mom took a very bad picture of them, but trust me, they are very pretty . . . and they can jump so high. Wow.

My garden is still very white and icy so I think we will never be able to practice again. See the picture . . . my garden is out there some place . . . the big chunks off the roof have bent the kennel fence way over.

We are going to bake us better snacks with this bad boy.

2007-11-26T17:20:00.001-08:00

Here I am at the last trial of our season . . . at Breeze Thru Agility in Brattleboro. We had lots of fun and I got lots of qualifying ribbons. See them behind me in the picture? I really worked hard for them. I only had a little trouble on the teeter. Couldn't help it since I was still a little scared after I fell off a few weeks ago. But I will conquer my fears soon.
Now I only need 1 more Q to get my Level 2 Title in CPE. We can't wait.

November Garden

2007-11-05T17:21:00.000-08:00

It is November. Here I am guarding the last bit of my garden. Mom is very sad.

But she has one more trial to go to, right around Thanksgiving. That should make her happy.

Jumping Higher Soon

2007-11-03T07:53:00.001-07:00

Not many pictures taken lately. But we did go to two CPE events since I last posted. Ruff agility at the Cheshire fair grounds, NH and Hill Town Hounds in Conway, MA.
Mom decided I was ready to try jumping a little higher, especially since I really do that any way (see picture). So, in those two trials we started competing in Level 2 as "Enthusiasts" I get to jump 20 inches now. I may jump 24 inches when I am a real man.

Here are some pictures of Hill Town Hound's nice big horse barn.

Outside and inside.

More pretty stuff from CPE

These certificates came in the mail.

Blues and Qs

2007-09-19T09:28:00.002-07:00

We did it. Here are my beautiful ribbons from this past weekend at the CATS CPE trial in Keene.
There are just enough to complete my first level. Thats what that big ribbon in the picture is for!

Saturday was rainy and I was a little cold, but we were able to run OK. Mom thought it was no fun all wet and yucky. Sunday Mom was lots happier since I got most of my ribbons then.

Some of my friends were there.

Here is Lizzie getting those weave poles.

. . . and Lucy on the teeter. She is a very pretty Australian Terrier. She already has her level 1 title!

My friend Rocco

2007-09-09T12:19:00.001-07:00

My friend Rocco went with me on vacation this summer along with Lizzie and Olivia. Rocco can play ball almost as well as I can, although he sometimes can't tell the difference between rocks and balls. Silly fellow.

He doesn't mind chasing things right into the ocean. Olivia can do that, too. She is very brave and is teaching me to swim.

Do you think Rocco might need a coat?

"Q" cookies

2007-09-08T12:26:00.001-07:00

Here I am with my new leash, my new BoBo toy, and my "Q" cookie. It was my special treat for playing gility games this weekend with the SCAT club in Connecticut. Can you tell it was a really hot weekend?

See how high I can jump?

My sister, Olivia

This is my sister, Olivia, She is helping me wait to play ball

getting ready for next gility trial

2007-09-06T11:12:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow afternoon I go to my other sister's house in Connecticut . . . then go and check out a new gility place for a trial. Since I like to look handsome, I took a bath and had a hair trim. Here I am trying out a table to see if it good enough for Mom to tend to my needs. It was a little wiggly, but I was very brave and stayed on it.

frisbee training

2007-09-04T17:55:00.000-07:00

My friend Zoey is practicing a special frisbee technique. She will be going to the annual Poodle Party where most everyone knows how to chase a frisbee into the pond. Piper, a parti color poodle pup, is learning too.

my friend Lizzie

2007-09-02T17:54:00.000-07:00

Today I went to visit my friend Lizzie. She is a Small Munsterlander. She showed me some really interesting spots up on her mountain . . . and said that deer hang out there all the time! Mom let me run free since I promised to come right back . . . and I did. Lizzie likes to do gility just like me.

Golden slippers

2007-09-01T12:00:00.000-07:00

Here I am checking out Mom's new golden slippers. I don't know why she calls them that. They just look like sneakers.
