I'm NUMBER ONE!!!!

Dad called mom at work today to tell her that Mom and I took the number one spot in the country for Regular CPE Agility!!!! Mom was very happy, but she knew I was pretty high up there. The best part is that Duffy is #2, Dori is #3 and Duncan is #3 Enthusiast, even after blowing his knee out in October and not competing for 2 months. Do you know how far ahead he had to have been to retain that position??? Lordy, he's my idol! Anywho, my furiend Minnie who is a very pretty chocolate Cocker p-mailed me tonight to tell me that she was happily handing the crown over to me. She was number one last year and I was number 2. It was a lot of work, a lot of trials, a lot of time spent in the mutt hut on the road, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love my pack (even the new guys) and can't imagine life without them. Thank Dog I took the chance on them 5 years ago!

Peace out,

Happy Gotcha Day to MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Sooooo, we wander on over to SR tonight and notice that tomorrow is my 5th Gotcha Day! How great is that???? Since they found me on Petfinder and taught me all those great things that make me the perfect dog that I am.... OK, let's start over... 5 years ago mom saw me on Petfinder and took a chance on a flea bitten, aggressive headcase. That was me and you all know the story by now. I'm fabulous and it's cause I love these humans so much and they love me right back. It's a win win situation! Since my Gotcha Day (which should go down in history as a major holiday), they have taken the chance on THREE more! CRAZY! They should have stopped at ME! What's up with these nutso people??? Hoarders I say!!! OK, I love my pack, even the crazy new guy, but really! I'm the middle kid now and I still hang with Duncan (best bud) and I'm massively attached to Devin (little bud) and Dori is my fun time play pal, so I guess more is better. I'm going to wait until Deacon is better and has the all clear and then we can find out where he will fit in MY pack. Anywho, I'm loving life, loving my pack, loving my humans (a lot) and life is good here in NH.

Peace Out,

C-ATE3 Dog!!!

Hey pups, I'm a day late on this entry cause I was pooped last night and just couldn't make my brain talk to my paws long enough to type. I took my C-ATE3 (CPE Agility Team Extraordinaire 3) title on my first run Friday down in Connecticut. Mom wasn't sure we could do it because it was a real distance challenge, but I showed her. Dad also helped when he showed her where she could practice the distance before the buzzer sounded and we really had to do it. The buzzer finally sounded after we had accumulated a bazzion (OK, 40) points and off I went over the jump, through the tunnel on the other side of the dogwalk, out the tunnel barreling towards mom and turned just in time to take another jump and land neatly on the table. Mom about needed clean-up in the ring! They brought her that obnoxiously HUGE ribbon and we took a joy lap around the equipment while everyone clapped. When the score was posted we found that I had a higher point total (60 overall) than any other dog running in all heights. It was pretty cool, but as I have said many, many, many times before... It's all about the chicken! Love you mom and have some faith in the punk rock star! I can do amazing things!

Peace out,
C-ATE3 Doolin Kingsley

I'm a bit concerned...

The new pup, the humans call him Devin, has attached himself to my side and is not going away!!!! Every time I turn around he's there! A few nights ago mom caught us napping and she snapped photos of us and it's down right embarrassing!!!! Geez, short of biting him I can't think of any way to tell him to back off and he is sort of warm and fun and I love chasing him and he loves chasing me... OK, so I sorta like him. I'm still sorting through this in my mind. Mom always called me PUNK and she has said that Devin is outpunking me, whatever that means. All I know is that she is calling him punk now and I'm not sure if I'm happy to give up the name or if I should be offended...

Peace out,
DK

C-ATE2 Dog

Yes pups, I'm going to talk all that agility stuff again. Last week I posted that mom and I took our Masters Agility Dog title in a group called USDAA (United States Dog Agility Association). Well this weekend we took our C-ATE2, which means CPE (the group that runs these trials) Agility Team Extraordinaire "2". This is the highest award given in this group and mom and I have done it twice in approximately 3 years total time. There are only a handful of teams that have achieved this so far in the country so it's kinda cool. Mom was really happy with our run and we had all sorts of celebration after. Then I went on to run clean for the whole day, which just added to the points that we need for C-ATE3. Anywho, it's an honor and I just LOVE to run with mom. The days were crisp and cool and it was wonderful being out in the sunshine and not being HOT.

Peace out,

MAD Dog!!!!!

I'm MAD I tell you!!! Mom said that we accomplished my Masters Agility Dog (MAD) title today on a great Masters Standard run. It was fun and she was ridiculously happy after! I received loads and loads of chicken and she received a very nice ribbon and that's how we started the day. Then after all that, I Qd every last run and Duncan Qd his too! Mom is very happy about that whole stinkin day. Me, I just like the chicken part...

Peace Out,

D Dog for a week!

My furiend Mulligan (678501) came to our house tonight and when his hoomans left, they left him behind!!!!! OMD!!!!!! Mullyman is staying with us for 6 whole days!!!!! We went ZOOMING around the back yard tonight and had a blast. He's so FAST! This is going to be incredible! Just think, we met here on Dogster two years ago and now he's staying at our house. How cool is that?

I'll keep you posted on all the fun stuff we are going to be doing this week.

Peace out,

USDAA Dog Agility Masters (DAM) Team Competition

Well dogs, I teamed up with my best bud Mulligan the Bichon and our furiend Willie the Cockerpoo to run a USDAA DAM competition this weekend and we rocked the house! We were in the top 5 for most of the weekend and ended in 8th place with a Q! That is the second time Mully and I have played together and Qd. I think it's a good trend, don't you? Mully really did great and took some individual Qs towards his Lifetime Achievement Award, which is amazing since his breed isn't really supposed to run well and he flies like the wind. We were so lucky to team up with Willie and his mom. He looks just like me with a perm. Pictures are forthcoming by the way...

YEAH! It was super fun with good furiends and now I think I'm going to bed and sleeping for a week.

Peace out,

WE'RE NUMBER FOUR!!!!!!

Last year when CPE (Canine Performance Events) posted their Top 10 List for 2008, mom was thrilled to find out I was the #6 Regular dog in the country. She was going to have shirts made that said "We're #6" just to see who would ask about it. Well, she needs to make new shirts this year that say "We're #4" cause I moved up two places in 2009!!!!! Yup, I'm the #4 dog in the country in CPE agility. YEAH! OK, mom had something to do with that too but hey, this is DOGSTER, not HUMANSTER! BOL *I totally rock*

Mom is also very happy that Duncan made the Enthusiast list this year too. Last year he was #10 and this year he is #6. How cool is that for a 10 year-old dog? He's my hero...

Peace out,
Doolin Kingsley, #4

Wicked Cool Weekend!

Hey pups! We went to a USDAA trial in Manchester NH at All Dogs Gym this weekend and I rocked the house. Yesterday I took my first ever Masters Standard Q, a Super Q in Masters Snooker, and a Q in Steeplechase. Today I took a Masters Jumpers Q, fourth place in Steeplechase and a Masters Snooker Q. Yup, I rocked the USDAA house! Mom was all happy cause tomorrow is her barkday and she thought I did it all for her, but I did it cause it's FUN! You should see my mom when we do well. It's pretty hysterical. She gets all crazy and leaky and huggy. It really is GREAT! OH! and today she came in to the trial and there was a present from Mulligan's pawrents. She bought mom a beautiful silver necklace from the Animal Rescue Site that has three rings on it and one says "My Best Friend Rescued Me". How cool is that??? We love Mulligan and his pawrents. They ROCK!

Peace out,
