Obedience Class...

So my mom and dad take me to obedience class every Tuesday. I don't know why, I am so good at everything they are teaching already. I get bored and start talking out of turn and that makes momma a bit upset at me. No one else seems to mind. I just need more excitement when I go to a park. And I can't believe no one is throwing the frisbee for me. How lame. At least I get some treats while I'm there.

Raw or not to raw?

My mama has been researching (and buggin some Dogster parents) about going on a raw food diet. She thinks my poopy is soupy too often even though the doc says I don't have an infection or anything. People keep telling her that the soupy poopy will go away once I start eating raw, and I am sure I wouldn't mind devouring a chicken leg or two. If any of my pals have any advice and/or concerns bark at me would ya?

I've been Tagged ;)

My Pal Randi tagged me! :)

Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged need to post in their Diary the rules and their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose 7 dogs to tag and list their names. Don't forget to pmail them and tell them they have been tagged and to read your Diary, or you could send them a rosette announcing they've been tagged!

Here are some facts about me!

1. I just started agility training and I love love love it!
2. I put my paw on the humans when they pet me.
3. I love getting my arms massaged.
4. I love the ocean and kiddie pool, but I hate baths!
5. I do the Jedi mind trick to open the back door.
6. When my parents howl, I howl along with them.
7. I like to sleep next to my bed instead of on it most of the time.

Let's see----I think I will tag--

1. Wiley
2. Coco
3. Lucy-fur
4. Suncatcher's Magical Moonphish
5. Pebbles
6. Wesley
7. Toodie

Have fun!!!! :)

I love agility!

I went to my first agility training session last Sunday and I LOVE it! I was so excited I pulled my mama and barked a little too much for her liking. But I couldn't help it! There were so many dogs running around on all this cool equipment and getting treats and people were so excited and having so much fun. I needed very little direction for the A-frame, tunnel and tire. I had a little trouble staying between the poles for the jumps but I eventually got it. The only problem was that mama runs too slow for me and kept me from going as fast I could. The instructor set her straight though and told her she had to run faster! Ha! We get to go again tomorrow for my second session. I can't wait!!

Loose Pooch Dog Club =)

Today I got to go to the Loose Pooch Dog Club where I got to play with a bunch of other dogs, I think there were 16 other dogs there today. I was a little unsure of the place at first, it reminded me of the groomers or the doc's place (I hate going there), and wanted to go back with Mama. But after awhile I got used to the people there, they didn't want to bathe me or blow dry me, or check my temperature... I had so much fun with everyone. There were 3 other Aussies there and of course they were the first ones to sniff and greet me. There were people who threw the ball for me all day and I got to herd the other dogs to my heart's content. I am so pooped but I hope I get to go there again soon!

Thanksgiving fun in Santa Fe!

I knew something was up because bags were being packed and the car was getting loaded up. I thought my Uncle Lance was going to get stuck with me again for a few days but instead, Mom and Dad let me go with them! At first I thought we were going to the park or the beach, but 7 hours later we were still driving! We finally stopped in Arizona and I finally got to stretch my legs and play a bit. The room we were in had a window that was just my height, and I kept barking at people walking by and scared a couple of people too. It was LOADS of fun. But Mom and Dad made me stop after the first few times. Party poopers they are.

I got to meet my new aunt Lucy (but the biped hairless ones call her Lucyfur) this weekend! She is a chocolate lab like Coco and is so much fun to play with. She is only 5 months old so I was supposed to be careful with her, but I ended up puppy bowling her a few times... But she is a TOUGH cookie, she rolled me over a few times and suplexed me on several occasions as well. Grandmama said that I am getting a taste of my own medicine since I did all the same things to my Aunt Coco when I was a puppy. Whatever. We had so much fun, I can't wait to play with her again. But she will be bigger than me the next time I see her.

We were on the road again after a few days. We stayed in a place that had doors that opened when I stepped in front of it, it was really cool. I wish that our door at home did that too. I try the Jedi mind trick on the one at home but it doesn't seem to work as well. Then I had to go into this small room that had doors that opened on their own and then when the doors opened again and you stepped out of the room, you were in a different place. It was a little freaky but OK. I got used to it. A bunch of firsts for me. It was good.

The last leg of our trip I got sick a couple of times and Mama had to clean it up cuz Papa said HE would get sick if he touched it. And he said that since he drove the WHOLE way both to and from Santa Fe Mama had to do it. I think Mama called him a martyr or something. Anyway, it was a good trip, I hope I get to go on more fun trips soon.

OUCH!!

So today my mom and dad took me to the park to play in the creek and chase my Flying Squirrel frisbee... I was just getting into my groove, snatching that orange saucer right out of the air. Then my poppa threw it again and BOOM! I hit a big oak tree head and shoulders first as I turned to run after the Squirrel. Needless to say I cried and whimpered and limped over to my poppa for some reassurance. My momma was scared that I broke my leg or something but I was just fine. She rubbed my head, neck and shoulders and once I knew nothing was broken, I couldn't wait for poppa to throw the squirrel once again. My momma says I have a hard cinder block head.
