Think of SEVEN interesting things about yourself and write them in your diary.

THEN choose some friends to play the game!

2) I wait for a Password before eating my Breakfast, Dinner or getting Treats

3) I scratch my back by getting under the soft dog bed on the ground !!

4) I sneak into the bedroom & jump up on the bed, even though I'm not supposed to !!

5) I love doing zoomies in the backyard :)

6) My best friend is a Golden Retriever - MIMI :)

7) I don't like wearing my harness :(

Lure Racing

Today Mummy took me out to KCC Park where they were having Lure Racing for any small breed dogs that like to chase things. She was not sure how I would go, as I am a bit of a 'wall flower' when it comes to going out in public.

When we got there I was given a number for my Races that I would be in for the day. All the First timers were allowed to have a couple of goes. Four of us at a time were put into these single boxes, which were closed behind us. That was scary as I could not see Mummy. Then she came in front of me but there was mesh wire stopping me from getting to her. Then Mummy walked away from me, about 110 yds away, Oooh I could hardly see her !!!

The wire cage door opened and I did not know what to do , I think I heard Mummy and started running towards her voice. There was lots of shouting from a long way up the other end, and the other dogs ran up to where the group of people were. I got half way and decided I would go back, as I could not find her.

In my 2nd Race I knew where Mummy was, so I ran really fast to where I could see her, & Aunty Manda, who were calling me.

For my 3rd Race we all had colored "scrunchies" around our necks, to match the color of the racing Boxes we were put in . When the gate was lifted I ran down the straight to where Mummy was. She was sooo pleased I came to her, even though I was last. My short little legs were making it hard for me to run on the grass, which was a bit soft and spongy, which is why all the others got to the end first. (they had longer legs !!)

The last run of the day we had to jump hurdles, well, big PVC Pipes about 3 inches high for us to jump over along the way. I jumped them all, and it made Mummy laugh as I was running as fast as my little legs could go, and my ears were flapping in the wind :)

Today was really fun and it gave me a good workout too.
Mummy will take me back again for some more racing as it is something I can do that the Big Dogs can't.

TONIMBUK- My Big Adventure

Yesterday I went for a Trip to Tonimbuk about 1 hours drive from where I live. The Property I went to is on the edge of the Bunyip State Park, here in Melbourne, which was where one of the biggest Bushfires was in February in our State. Mummy felt good about this place, and let me run free for the first time without worrying about me being hassled by other dogs.

There was a Sheltie (Lana) and two Golden Retriever's (Pip & Meg) owned by Mummy's friend who we met there, and of course Mimi , Jade and Me.
When I was let free I did not know what to do or where to go, so I did zoomies around the area where the Dam was. It was sooo much fun , I ran up & down, and around & around. I watched Mimi , Jade & the others play in the Dam while Mummy was up the top watching me & taking photos of my big adventure. It had been raining heavily a few hours earlier, so the ground was wet & my tummy got muddy very quickly :)
I also got to sniff some new smells that I hadn't smelt before - Kangaroos, Wombats, Foxes & Horses.

We went on a short drive to where the Busfires were, & these huge kangaroos went bounding across the road in front of us, to the paddocks on the other side of the road . I could easily have fitted in their pouch and be a Joey !!!
Wow, that would be like a roller-coaster ride with all that bounding about !!!!

After all the running around, Mummy went inside the house while I snooped around all the rooms. How great was that, a house that did not mind all the Dogs inside. At the end of the day we drove home and I slept nearly all the way. All that fresh air & running around, and playing with my new friends made me very tired.
I had the best day on the Property and will be allowed to go back whenever I want - How Cool is That !!!

See ya,

Scout
