I got Tagged!

Both Mr. T and Sophie have tagged me! So, now I'm tagging some pals!

Here are the rules:
Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged need to post the rules & their 7 pawsome facts in their Diary. Then they choose 7 dogs to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to bark them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your Diary, or, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged! I hope you've got it!

7 pawsome facts about me:

1. I'm an AKC Champion
2. I test mommy every day to see if I can have the alpha position.
3. I play fetch better than my lab mix sister.
4. I LLLLOOOOVVVVVEEEE people and can't contain myself when we have visitors!
5. I love riding on our boat. I'll even jump into the water!
6. Crows drive me batty! I must bark at them until they leave my yard!
7. Hunting vermin is fun! You should see the dog run - I've dug it up looking for that blasted mole!

Here's who I tagged:

BABIES!!!

On May 25th, 2006, Windy welcomed our 4 girls and 1 boy into this world. Since then, my mommy has given them names for the time they're here. My daughters are named (in order of birth) Scarlet, Panda, Peaches, and Soda Pop. My son's is named Rhett. If you want to check them out and watch them grow, visit:

They're 3 weeks now and I'm about to introduce them to the rest of the pack! I'm not too sure about that...I'm kind of scared of these little things that squeak and growl and howl at me. Not to mention they're not very steady on their feet! I hope I don't break them!

Off to go hide....

Ooo! Ooo! I got a girlfriend!

Mommy went to this fun match with me and Angel, today, and came home with this really cute chick named Windy! She says that she's my girlfriend and she's going to stay at our house for about 4 mo. I am so excited! I've been following her around the house, all evening long, flirting and cuddling with her. She is SO COOL! I'll keep you posted to when she has my babies!!!

Off to go snuggle....

Ag ain, happy birthday to ME!!!!!

Andy the happy dog. BOL!

Need I say, I'm hot!

So we went to our 3rd and 4th shows this weekend (ea. day is a different show, for those who may be curious). I wouldn't stand still on the table on Sat. and Mom just kind of fell apart because of it...he he! So, we didn't do more than take our class which wasn't any points.

HOWEVER

Today I was VERY GOOD and stood on the table and was, overall, better than I have been! Not only did we take our puppy class (6-9 mo.) but we also took winner's dog which gave me 1 of the 2 majors I need for my championship!!!! I got 4 POINTS today!!! Mommy's on cloud nine and I'm being treated like royalty, sitting in her lap, etc.

Anyways, thought you'd all like to read about it....now I want to go bask in my glory....buh bye for now!!!

My first show (that counts)

So, this weekend, mommy took me to this city called Kennewick, WA to do our first show. Mommy was totally nervous and scared on Saturday, so I played off of her. I wouldn't stand on the table, I shivered (it was cold!), and I wouldn't gait around the ring. So, we didn't do that well. So, mommy took me out to the park and started drilling me on what was expected of me.

On Sunday, she took me out and reminded me of what we had gone over the day before (and me being a smart dog, I remembered almost everything!). Mommy wasn't as nervous the second day and the judge really liked me too. I ended up getting "Best of Winners" and beating the girl dog that beat me the day before. Mommy says that our win gave me my first point towards my championship title. What was even neater was that the really cool lady mommy got me from was there to watch and she was so excited about our win too!

Well, off to go bask in the glory and look at my ribbons!

Vacation - camping (new), off leash dog camp (new), boating! (new)

All 3 things we did were absolutely new to me! Mommy said I was a whiney little brat in camp...I just wanted to be out sniffing everything and anything....doesn't anyone understand?!

That off leash dog camp was something else! I was the only one who still had, well, you know, the family jewels...so I was a hit with the girls...he he.... I had so much fun, I ran from one end to the next just absorbing as many new scents as I possibly could! I finally got tired on Sunday and when we went back to the campsite, I was more than willing to sleep for that night and the next day.

But that boat! Oh what fun! It's so exciting that I can't contain myself! I get to go diving off the edge and swim in the water! Of course, check out my pictures from that adventure!

Well that's it for now!!!

I got dog of the week!!!!! I'm so EXCITED!!!

Mommy came in and noticed she had only one email and figured it was just another one of those adds that slipped by her filter. Low and behold, a note from HQ...Congrats! You're dog of the week!

I was so happy I was spinning in circles and barking in celebration! What an honor to be singled out within a group of almost 100,000 fellow dogs!

I don't know what to say....

I'd like to thank all my pals for being so cool! And my mommy for creating the web page!

I don't know who else/what else!

Thanks everybody! Thanks HQ!

B match results from 8/19....Mommy is so proud!

I went to my first ever type of match today (8/19). It was called a B match which means it doesn't count towards my championship points, but it does give me an idea of how I'll show against the other dogs, in my mommy's humble opinion.

Anyway, we took best of breed out of a total of 4 dogs and went to get 2nd (0ut of 2) for our group (terriers). No matter what, though, we had fun! That's what mommy was out to make it to be and that's what I thought it was, FUN!!!

So, our goal is to go to the Kennewick, WA show for our first official (what counts towards our championship points) show. We'll keep you posted, until then, practice practice, practice!!!

Woooo Hoooo, We're SSOOOOooooo EXCITED!!

Mommy took me over to this new lady's house who had a friend over. My goodness there were SO many dogs there! Mommy says that the lady who lives there is a breeder and that we were in the Kennel portion of the house.

Anyway, this friend of the lady, her name is Linda, is what mommy calls a professional handler. Mommy had her look me over and this handler was TOTALLY IMPRESSED with me! She couldn't help but make so many complements about me and what great structure I had and how my bite was perfect, and how well behaved I was (and I wasn't even that well-behaved, according to mom). Linda said mommy shouldn't have ANY problem finishing me and making me a champion. Mommy was thrilled to hear it from someone who had never met us before and had an unbiased opinion.

We're all doing the happy dance over here! Showing is going to start soon...we're doing our first B match next week. Wish us luck!!
