Arrival Story: On the 24 May 2006, me and my siblings were taken into care (Rescue Centre) and was left there with a note pinned to the box we were in pleading for help, it had on it our breeding, age and an apology from the human who couldn't cope wiv us all (6 of us)
I was very frightened as me and my sisters and brothers were poked and prodded about by some human called a Vet, he treated us all fur worms, fleas and pricked us wiv somefink very sharp We wuz then put into a barred room with some food and water and a nice big soft thing which we slept on. We settled down and played somewhat, but we were so tired and still a little scared.
We had lots of humans milling in and out and one by one a sibling would be picked up and never came back
I followed suit and put my bravest face on to try and get a humans attention when the door wuz opened then, on the Saturday I was there again in the corner at the front squashed up against the bars half sat and pawing the air and whining trying to get this humans attention along wiv my only brother that was left.............. when I was spotted by a lady I now call mum, she couldn't help but see me - correction - hear me coz I was whining the loudest and when she bent down to speak to me I answered back and wagged my tail so hard I thought it was gonna fall off. She said somefink to the young girl who then came in and picked me up and handed me to mum who I covered in kisses and banged my tail against her side. Mum didn't like to leave my brother all on his own but just could not take him as well and was upset when, a lady who was directly behind mum said she would take him I was in mums arms and we went into the Rescue Shop and I picked out some toys and a bed and a collar and leash. Mum was chatting away and laughing to a lady behind a desk and there wuz a lot of paperwork lying around. Then a man came up and was ruffling my head and neck and next thing I felt a prick in my neck and heard someone say "all done - Chip in" and off we went to the car where mum had a cardboard box with a nice blanket in and a chew bone to keep me occupied for the long drive home - I liked travelling in that car too and fell asleep quite contented.

Hiya pups, I'm back from my Halloween Agility Charity Match, mum and me are both very tired but, me persuaded her to type this entry;)
Firstly, we got very very lost on the journey to the venue early this morning:( and ended up on the moors in fog which was quite scary! so were late in arriving - everyone cheered when we finally touched down BOL.
I had a quick walk to stretch my legs and go toilet then was promptly put back in the car whilst mum walked the courses. Then she was busy Ring Managing but came to get me every so often and check I was ok (the sun had come out and it was like a summers day)! She decided after a while to take me into the venue with her and I lay down underneath her chair - it was cooler inside. We then did two of our runs in the morning - the Agility was a washout coz mum got lost on the course BOL but we did a good run on the jumping and only got 5 faults (i ducked out the second weave pole). We then went to the "Challenge Course" which was really funny and tiring (this one you had to donate money to run it). There was a line of jumps going crossways with a tunnel in the middle then another line of jumps - the idea was to take one jump then tunnel; another jump then tunnel etc etc. Mum started off pretty quick but soon became quite tired BOL. Me, I was enjoying myself hehe.
Lunch break was next.
In the afternoon I ran the "Helter Skelter" which was also the Fancy Dress (Handlers only) and was sooo funny mum got jaw ache with laughing. When it was my turn to run it, apart from mum getting a wee bit dizzy and her hat falling over her eyes two jumps from the end we went clear woohoo.
I got 8th place (with the 5 faults) in the Jumping - which was quite a surprise! and 5th place in the Helter Skelter;)
We've had such a great and fun filled day and I will let you all know how much we raised for the Doggie Charities when we know;)
We just back from a brilliant Interclub Agility Match and what a great day we had too:D
I GOTS A FIRST PLACE IN AGILITY woohoo so so exciting and everyone in our club knew this likkle piece of information whilst the course was still being run! Nobody said anything and it turns out that me held onto ma first place for near two hours *doing happy dance*. Mum's face was a picture when it was time for the announcements - she knew we had done a good run on a difficult and sneeky course (the Judge went and put the seesaw straight after a jump) but we wuz not to go over that we had to go through the tunnel to one side and as we wuz watching the competitors nearly all headed for the seesaw and mum made a quiet note to try and catch me in time so me didn't do the same;) it worked and she wuz sooo pleased:D
I am still in shock - my first ever WIN and I gots a lovely rosette and a trophy *doing happy dance* or I will be when I wakes up BOL
