Hey Sam!

Guess what??? Jessie's back!!! Last Monday I started a new obedience class called Intermediate Competition Prep. It's okay, I guess...I have to be real serious and all, which is sooooo hard! Jessie and her mom came to this class. It was really great to see her again! And guess what else...? She's all growed up, and real pretty, too! She seemed really happy to be back!

Class was going pretty well...Mom says I'm not the worst in the class, but I'm not the best either, oh well... We had to do this thing where I'm heeling next to mom then as we pass my towel, she tell me to "down" and she keeps walking while I lay on the towel. It went okay for a couple of times, but the next time I was about to lay down on my towel, I realized I wasn't the only one on my towel! EEeeekkkk! HOLY %$@#, what the heck is that!?!?!???!?!?!?! I jumped back as quickly as I could and tried t0 get a look from a safe distance. Mom was like "what?" And as I danced around pointing at it, she saw it too....

It was a HORRIBLE HAIRY EIGHT-LEGGED MONSTER...translucently ghosty, creeping across my towel!!!! Yeeeeccchhh! I expected Mom to scream and run away with me........ later she would thank me for saving her from the beast!!!!

But instead she started LAUGHING!!!! She told me it was okay, and kicked the monster from my towel! Wow, she was either brave or crazy!!! Then, as if she dismissed the whole thing, she told me again, to lay down on the towel...WHAT?! WAS SHE CRAZY?!?!?!?! Uh uh, no way, Jose!!!!! Nothin' doin'!!! As a matter of fact, you can just forget about me layin' down, anywhere, for the rest of the night!!!! I kept trying to jump up on Mom to tell her "NO." I even bit down on the leash and tried to drag her away!!!!

Mom fought me, and tried a few more times to get me to lay down, and finally she told our instructor what had happened because people were starting to look at us funny! The instructor told Mom that she shouldn't force me, cause it might make me more afraid....Yeah!!!... So that was it for me for the rest of the night!

I guess October really is full of scary monsters!

Until later, keep a wary eye out,

Dolce

P.S. Jessie came back to agility yesterday, too!

(Dolce's mom would like to note that the "eight-legged monster" was a really a spider smaller that a dime! ) :)
