Rudy's Ramblings

it is cold

today it is -25 and my paws are cold & if i stand still they hurt. i am spending a lot of time indoors. If i go outside i have to play chase the laser pointer to keep warm !

Charlie is much better at this cold weather thing & its not fair, i have no husky in me obviously.....

September

Well, i haven't written for a while, it is a bit difficult as human mom is always on the pc doing work stuff.

We have had lots of dogs staying here, boarding over the Summer time. Mom runs a home boarding service for dogs & I have met weiner dogs, chihuahua's, rotti's and a few retrievers.... i had to share my tennis balls and squeaky toys with them too !! We even had another dog stay called Rudy which was very confusing as i thought that was just my name..

I have nearly finished at intermediate Agility & we have set up 3 jumps & some weave poles at home so i can practice. Mom says i am better at agility than i am at flyball - although that's not difficult !!

Human Dad won me a new crate at our Club's flyball tournament in Langham in September ! It is huge & i can stretch out in it lots. Judah has my old one now & he keeps sleeping in it at night, in the house, as its starting to get cold at night here now. He is old & i think he prefers the warmth of the house to the cold of the night outside.

Soon it will be winter & we will get to jump in snow drifts & eat snow again. BOL :D can't wait !!

Rudy Stays in a Motel

It was a while back now, but i had fun in Edmonton, best bit was i got to sleep ON the bed ( it was a bit hard ) i got lots of treats off mum, and i got to pee up lots of unfamiliar trees...but boy was it hot up there !!

The man at the front desk in the Motel ( Super 8 ) gave me lots of pats & spoke silly to me ..these things happen when i wagg my tail :)

Well, we got to the flyball tournament, apparently the main reason i was there was i was supposed to catch all the balls & not be naughty..oops i sort of forgot & managed to slip a few grrrr's out at Rage & Thomas & probably most of my team mates as i passed them at the start line...i managed to get the ball properly a few times but i really screwed up Sunday & crossed over to the other lane to see what their ball tasted like and apparently i can't do that. EVER AGAIN OR ELSE SAYS MUM !!!! The rest of the team managed superbly with out my presence ( can't think why ?!?) & managed to do rather well in the end. I had to be content with cheering from the sidelines all day....

ho hum back to training for me. Mum can't understand why i growl as i don't do it at home...i don't know either, it just pops out :-)

I started Agility too at the same place Charlie went to and that is fun. I have to do stuff on my own & there's no racing against other dogs....

Back at home Dad has built us a fence around the house & yard so we have an acre of running room without Mum having to worry if we have ran off ! ( Charlie & Judah are you listening ? ) Judah loves it and he is off leash now all the time, i have been good & not tried to jump the fence although i am sure i could if i wanted to..but why would i want to ?!?

The gophers have infiltrated our compound, i keep dropping my balls down their holes. it is most annoying as i can't figure out where all my balls have gone ! D'oh !
