Wow, have we ever had a big month! After that horrible human holiday with all them booms, Momma packed us up in the car, and we rode all day.
We went to this really cool place called 4 Paws Kingdom. We slept in a cabin, and they had all these different dog parks where we didn't have to wear leashes, and each one had different things to smell and do: ponds and streams and woods, and even an agility field. Mom promises we're going back when we can stay longer.
After three days, we got in the car again, and went to see our former foster brother Reece and his family. Going to visit Reece's pawrents is nothing like going to Nanna's - we got to get on whatever furniture we wanted, and Reece's pawrents gave us lots of pats and rubs and said how good we were.
While we were there, we did agility, too. The first two days, we had a lot of fun, but I didn't get (what according to Mom) were easy Gambles, I mean, why do two jumps away from your Mom when you can just do a tunnel?
The third day Momma said the Gamble was hard. She seemed sad and said "No MAD this weekend". Well, we got out there and had a look, and it was just what we work on at home all the time: straight into the weaves while Momma stays put. I did it, and I looked back and Mommma was standing there looking shocked. I started back to her and she yelled "OUT, OUT, OUT" so I looked and there was one more jump out there, so I sailed over it, and Momma screamed so loud they probably heard her back in Nashville. Next thing I know, she's walking around with a ribbon taller than me, calling me a MAD dog.
I guess three days was enough 'gility for her, 'cause the next day we went out on the boat instead. Momma made us wear life jackets, and it felt funny. Reece loves to swim, but I tried it and decided it wasn't for me.
The day after that, we drove back to Nashville.
Momma went back to going to work like always. Diamond the twerp and Dubby got adopted. It's been hot, hot, hot. We've been wearing t-shirts with Miss Anna's stickers on them when going to the park and on walks, so that Miss Anna can keep being our Metro Council person - Momma says it's real important. Momma says she found us a team for Nationals and one of the humans has a Schnauzer, though it's her other dog that's going to be my teammate.
Well, off to do my 'gility practice - we had a boom storm yesterday, and it's not quite as hot today.

Bark atcha later,
