Flippin' Out

It's been a while...

So Mom went off for a week on a trip that she couldn't take me on (she said it was very hot, dusty, and noisy - so maybe it's just as well I didn't go). While she was gone the computer wasn't really left on, and I kinda got out of the habit of blogging (d'blogging?).

Anyways Dad is now off on a backpacking trip... the first one that I have not gone on. Mom says I'm a little too old to keep up on a backpacking trip now. I'm a little out of shape I think but I could have kept up... maybe... But I'm enjoying being here with Mom and The Girl.

Yesterday I took Mom to our dog training club, JavaDawgs. We did a RallyO course there and it was *really* hard... because someone left a big bowl HEAPED with CAT FOOD right next to one of the Rally signs! When I noticed that bowl of cat food, I forgot about everything else. I could dimly hear Mom calling me but my mind was just full of the smell of that amazing cat food! After a while I noticed that Mom was laughing - hard - between repetitions of my name. When I was finally able to tear myself away from the cat food, Mom made it up to me with several servings of my treats (which were pretty darn good that day anyways). We did a few more practices of "come" and then Mom had me wait a second while she went and took a handful of those cat food pieces, and then she gave them to me.

We did a few more rounds of the Rally course and of course that cat food was right there the whole time, but I was able to handle it better!
