lure coursing...

rots your brain!!! if you've never done it and you have a dog with high chase dirve, it's worth a try. just be aware, there is no obedience on the lure coursing field. be pre paired for a dog that is out of it's head and jonesed to go!!!

kay got to do it at camp dogwood this weekend and she took the rest of the day to come down. she loves it, she screams at the line, she might just sell a paw for it! wow!! and we camped next to the field. we had no choice. i must say that by the end of the weekend, she was able to function and keep her head about her. i'm proud of her b/c that was hard.

we will return again. i won't deny her the pleasure, just regulate it. kay on the other hand would do it all day everyday... what a dog!!

Agility Brags

This weekend Kay and I had a trail out in Spring Grove. We did very well. She Q'ed every time we went out! That concludes all of our level one titles and on to level 2. She's catching up to Bailey quite quickly. We should go back into hiding for a little to work on some collection and communication glitches. I'm so proud of her!! She was awesome! When I figure out how to handle her properly we'll be unstoppable!!!

My first competition

Well, last weekend I competed in APDT Rally - O with my big sister. She got her ARCh and well, I didn't do so bad either. I got two legs towards my RL1, taking first and second. I really wanted to you just socialize and say hello to everyone, but mom wouldn't let me. It was so hard to work in the ring with the judge b/c I just wanted to go over and say hi so bad! Mom says that I have wait a while longer before I can be off leash working - something about having to stay with her.

I started agility training as well. Agility rocks!! It's so much more fun than Rally or Obedience. I'm not allowed to jump my full height yet, something about still growing. I just can't wait until I get to go to agility comps with my big brother Bailey. He rocks!! He's out there showing everyone that a mutt can be just as awesome as a border collie.

My big sister is liking me more. She actually played with me, like real play!! I had a blast! I hope she does it more. I'm still set on my goal of getting her to snuggle with me.

My sister likes me!

so sunday we were at g-ma's and g-pa's house. out in the backyard we were play, all of us. normally my big sister doesn't play with me. i think that she's mad at me most of the time, but out of no where she starts dancing around me. i was surprised at first, until i realized that she was trying to play with me! we played chase and ran in and out of the little pool. it was fun! she even let me be in the pool with her!!

she really likes me! it took a while and i'm still not so sure about how she plays, it's really different from my brothers, but i like it! i hope that it keeps up!

oh yeah! i'm starting my second round of puppy classes. mom is trying to get me in as many as possible. i don't care! it means that i get to play with other dogs!! she keeps saying that some day soon i'll get to meet a lot of the dogs she walks during the day. they sound fun... can't wait!!

So embarassed!!!

So I was the nameless puppy for a few days. My mom put my registered name on my account because they didn't have a regular name for me. I'm not quite sure yet what the difference between a call name and a registered name are yet, but mom says that I'll find that out later on.

Last night I went with my older brother to his agility class. I got to climb up this huge mountain. I didn't get all the way up, it was really scary about half way up! Mom was really proud of me for doing just that. I didn't get to try anything else because we ran out of time. I hope that I get to do that when I get bigger.

You know what I really don't like, being left in my crate alone. It's scary!! I really hate it! Even though my other older brother is in the room with me, it's still scary. Mom says that it's a part of growing up, but I just plain don't like it.

*yawn!!!* puppy nap time!
