We went for a long ride, usually a sign there's adventure ahe ... At Ikea Mom introduced me to a shark while we were there. She thought it was funny. It was a stuffed shark, not scary at all. When we left there, a lady named Lori rode with us to Mr. Taco. She and Mom talked about the service dog Lori wants to get. She hasn't picked out one. I was on my most excellent behavior, because I wanted to show her how great mini-Aussies are. First we went to the fruit market, where I did "post" (behind Mom to keep people from getting to close). Lori asked "how did you train her to do that?" Mom said, "I guided her into position while I said "post", then praised her when she stood or sat there." I'm cool with whatever Mom wants me to do. Some things are obvious. Mostly I love to make her happy. When we got to Mr. Taco, Mom asked me to potty. I did. Then she let me greet Lori (my vest was off). When Mom said, "All done" it was time to go back to work, so I returned to get my vest on. The humans had saved Mom her favorite spot (she can't sit with her back to doors). Lori complimented me about how well trained I am. Mom was proud and I knew I had accomplished my goal, so I grinned to myself. I like those compliments better than the high pitched "AAAAaaaaaAAAAAH, She's so cute." I'm over being cute. I'm a working dog. As always, the humans yacked and did their crafts. Auntie Veronica had knitted Mom some slippers. Mom put them on my mat for a pillow. They smelled like Ollie and some other dog I haven't met. I think I detected some kitty, too. Mom is wearing them now. She really likes them. As we drove into Grass Valley, Mom started saying, Ooo and wow. The sky (which I rarely notice) was beautiful. Then it started to snow. I was glad when we got home. Belle was too. It is sunny today. Maybe we'll go to the park so I can chase my ball and get all muddy.]]> http://www.dogster.com/dogs/1014804/diary/Work_and_play_my_good_life/704735 Fri, 24 Dec 2010 20:57:55 PST Rethy (reethy) CGC, PSD ~ writing at dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/dogs/1014804/diary/Work_and_play_my_good_life/704735 What an interesting time we are having.

Mom liked the way I look so much that she groaned, thinking now she isn't going to be able to let me know "natural" and will be spending money to make me prettier. After my grooming, we went to vote. One lady at the table had a couple of questions, but also seemed to know a lot about service dogs like me. Mom found that refreshing. She took her huge long ballot to a table to fill out while another lady working at the polling place snuck up behind her to take a bunch of pictures of me. Was it because I'm naturally beautiful?

Mom and I took a very long drive and wound up at this motel where ... Rethy and Jolanda Play Ball Last night, we had gone to Japan Town which is a big mall and buildings around it. The humans had Japanese food, then walked around the mall. Jolanda's mom was carrying her "Prada bag." All the humans said "Prada bag" after just about everything. Wouldn't you know they would have to take pictures of Jolanda and me acting like Japanese characters, including a Samurai warrior carrying, you guessed it, the Prada bag. *insert eye rolling here* It seems like most of what we did was go to cafes. Our humans like coffee and stuff that has crumbs. Have I told you pups that Mom and I are matching wits on my floor-surfing problem? Mostly she wins. At breakfast this morning, she finally caught me...it was only because she had an almond croissant and almond slivers tend to stick on your nose. Pups, make a note, do NOT go after almond slivers, you know the ones sliced really thin. The humans seemed to have lots of fun, but Mom doesn't do well in the city. After breakfast, she drove to Dolores Park, but couldn't find a place to park. You'd think that you could "park" at a "park", but NO, she just drove around and around. Eventually, she found a spot. We played a little with Jolanda's humans. Jolanda was resting up from yesterday. Mom noticed I had a limp. The humans all agreed I was favoring my back right leg. Darn it. You know what that means. No more running for a few days. I know Mom wants me to be okay, but when they talked about "leash walks" only for a few days, my heart sank. Mom has massaged my leg and says she's going to "ice" it before bed. We'll see what that does.

Really, Mom and I should both be going to bed, but I told her it would ... Dog Show Movies and Pics For lunch, all the humans working the CGC and the judges and stewards went into a big building where they had a buffet of sandwiches and salads. The humans loaded up and we all sat down. Mom caught me floor surfing. Uh oh. I'm in BIG trouble. When we got back to the CGC area, Mom took little pieces of yummy, yummy smelling food and put it all around my head. I had to lie there and ignore it. Uchh! Then she picked it up before I could sneak any of it. About the time I forgot about the whole thing, she sprinkled some more stinky food around my head. It only smells yummy when you can sneak it. It's stinky if you have to leave it alone. Trust me on this. After the CGC testing was over I thought we were going home, but no. Mom took me over to the ring to watch the herding group, a couple of other groups and best in show. Like I care. I snoozed, but every few minutes she had to get up and move because the shade would go away. She talked to a few people there including a snooty lady and a lady who talked alot about "psycho" dogs--whatever that is. One nice lady said she has a mini-Aussie, too. She also said he is the "best dog" she has ever had. Mom said that about me, then whispered, "don't you dare tell Belle that!" I wouldn't. Mom also tells Belle she is "the best dog in the Western world." Whatever that means. Neither of us take that stuff personally. Eventually, Mom stayed put, all the blah blah blah faded and I was fast asleep. Finally, Mom got up and we headed for the car. Belle was so happy to see us. Mom loved her all up and told her how many pretty dogs we saw that looked like her. I'm tired. It's time to go to bed. I hope you pup pals enjoy the doggy pictures and movie Mom made. Bark at you later.

Peggy showed her a big can of it, but there weren't any spray bottles to put it in. Mom was having a hard time with the stinky, stinky stuff so when we left for lunch, we didn't go back. The rest of the day, Mom was woozy and I felt a little woozy too. I don't want her to go back there. Like I said, a little dog has to go along.

She has been going over to her storage unit, loading up our car and driving back. There is yard-smelling stuff and studio-smelling stuff and some dusty old boxes that smell like people I've never met. After we got home this afternoon, Peggy came to see us on her motorcycle. Peggy takes care of Belle and Kermit when Mom and I go places. Belle just loves her. Peggy calls Belle a "love muffin." Mom and Peggy sat out under the big tree in our yard and yacked. I kept bringing my ball over and dropping it next to Mom, then next to Peggy. If they ignored me, I just threw it up in the air for myself and chased it around. Eventually, one of them would throw it for me. Sometimes you have to persist with humans. They can be so self-absorbed. Well, pals, gotta hit the crate.

Actually, I couldn't feel the sharp gravel in the driveway. Hmmmm, maybe shoes are okay. I'll get back to you guys on that. Mom is also getting ready to go someplace. She tried to roll up her sleeping bag twice already. It's pretty funny. She kneels on it and rolls it REEEEAAALLLY tight. She's doing great until right at the end when POOF! some part pushes out and messes it up. Finally, she got a strap for around the middle. Now it looks like a really fat person with a belt 5 sizes too small. I'm sure she'll figure it out. Today, we went to a surplus store that has all kinds of military and camping stuff in it. Mom got a little stove for our camping trip and also looked at duffel bags for our plane trip in August. Also this week, we went over to look at a place Mom might move us to. It was pretty cruddy looking outside. There was a nice tree in the yard though, great shade for Belle and me. We couldn't get inside the house to see it. Mom said it has new paint and carpet. Also, Mom can have a washer and dryer in there. The best thing is that Belle wouldn't have to struggle on the stairs because there aren't any. Here's another good thing. Mom knows the women who live next door. One of them works in JoAnn's grooming saloon. They are nice ladies and they have a teen-age daughter. We have done lots of other stuff, too, but I forget. That's enough for now. We're in bed and Mom is getting ready to turn off the light.

The one of me going slow is blue and says "slow that puppy down." I didn't really slow down, it's a camera trick. Anyhoo, I had fun yesterday, then slept most of the rest of the day. TODAY has been a lot of damn nothing. For me and Belle, anyways. Mom put us outside for a long time. We have this cool den Mom made for us on the porch and a house downstairs that's really cool for these warm days. I wanted to stay on the porch to see what Mom was up to. She ran that machine she pushes around on the floor. It seemed like she was taking forever. Finally, the door opened. Everything in the house was different! She had moved all the furniture around. Even Kermit's cage was moved. Here's the cool thing. My toy basket had my favorite ball back in it--it's like a tennis ball and it squeaks. I threw it around for awhile and it rolled under a chair and then further back under a desk. Sheesh! That didn't last long. I guess the good news and bad news about a ball is that it rolls. I went to Mom and then to the door, Mom, door, Mom, door. She got up to let me out. I looked at her and said, "No, let's go to the park!" She said, "Sorry Rethy. It's too hot. We'll go later." LATER?

She asked if she could pet me and Mom said, sure. She's not working and she's fully trained now. I could hear how proud Mom is of me. I felt all grown up. Betsy had her nephew with her. He was all into Zeus. Who isn't? Zeus is a charmer. We were there for a long time. Then we went to a place where, you guessed it, our humans sat and yacked and laughed. Jolanda's mom caught me floor surfing for some crumbs, something my mom hasn't seen me do in a VERY long time. You know why? I know when she's watching me. Who is stupid enough to floor surf when someone is watching? It's a definite, "no, no!" Mom did that thing she used to do and tore off a piece of her bagel and put it in front of my nose. When she does that I KNOW not to touch it. She kept picking it up and dropping it, scooting it around. I'm thinking, enough already, I get it, the crumbs weren't even worth all that. All of my buddies were tired. Iris put her head on her mom's foot, Zeus was cold so his mom put her jacket over him and he snoozed. Jolanda lay next to her mom being her charming self. People looked at them a lot and watched our moms laughing. None of them could even see me. I was hiding under the table with the crumbs I couldn't touch. :( Now it's bedtime...time to sleep and dream of beautiful spring days and friends...]]> http://www.dogster.com/dogs/1014804/diary/Work_and_play_my_good_life/666718 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 22:44:10 PDT Rethy (reethy) CGC, PSD ~ writing at dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/dogs/1014804/diary/Work_and_play_my_good_life/666718 My morning started out slow, but finally Mom took me to the park.

She nervously over-compensated by handing out my brochures left and right. One lady who works there said something about my "being in the way". (She was trying not to step on me while she was flying down the aisle). Later, Mom gave her one of my brochures and directly said I was trained to "get in the way" because of her PTSD. The lady was nice and said she was worried about someone running into me. Mom said, "she's fearless". I am. No one has ever run into me. Why? Because I'm so damned cute, they notice me long before they get to where I'm sitting. Sometimes, cute pays off. I'm hoping Mom gets over this grocery store thing soon so she can relax.]]> http://www.dogster.com/dogs/1014804/diary/Work_and_play_my_good_life/665889 Sat, 10 Apr 2010 22:45:47 PDT Rethy (reethy) CGC, PSD ~ writing at dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/dogs/1014804/diary/Work_and_play_my_good_life/665889 Wow, what a big day!
