On Fryday, April 19, me and the ma drove down to SoCal. I was a bit confused because the ma went to work furst and worked until lunch time. I thought it was gunna be one o' those normal goin' to the office with the ma daze. But at lunch time she told me to 'go potty'. Normally the ma isn't all that concerned with when I go potty durin' our lunch break. She knows I'll go sooner or laters.
Anywoofs, I went potty, eventually, then we got in the cars. But we didn't drive toward home. We drove away from home. And we drove until we got to the grand folk's house. It was a little abusive and neglectful, if you ask me, because we didn't stop fur gas and we didn't stop fur potty breaks. The ma wanted to get thru LA befure dark. We pretty much drove straight through. The ma has sum weird phobia about LA.
Finally, when we got there, I was pretty happy to see the grand folks AND their lawn, if you pups know what I mean. It was about 8 thirty o' the clock. Pretty hard fur both o' us to sleep that night. We both didn't get enuf exycise durin' the day.
On Safurday we had to check in with the Splash Dog peoples by 10 o' the clock. Our jumpin' was one activity within a bigger event, The Orange County Pet Expo. Now our pet expo here in San Jose allows EVERYBODY to bring their friendly, leashed pups. Not so in the OC. Only pups participatin' in sum activity is allowed and we hasta stay in our designated areas. No walkin' around the Expo with our peoples!
Anywoofs, as a competin' pup we had to check in with the Pet Expo peoples furst and got badges to enter the Expo so we could get to our Splash Dogs area. Woofs, we never needed no badges befure! I felt like one humble, country pup at this big city shindig!
Woofs, we was early but there was already allota pups there! I was signed up fur the 11 o' the clock wave only. We got a coupla practice jumps in and who did I see?! BigSisterGirl and her fambily came to cheer me on!
On my furst competitive jump I got 12' 9". On my second, 11' 10". The 12' 9 got me a 5th place ribbon. There was lots more jumpin' to do on Safurday but fur the other pups, not me. The ma only signed me up fur the one splash Safurday but on Sunnyday I was signed up for two waves and we figured I would make the finals.
Since we got done pretty early on Safurday we all went back to the grandfolk's house and I gotta spend lotsa time with the lil baby girls:) It was a very nice and relaxin' afternoon. Welwoof, maybe not exactly relaxin' cause me and the ma had lotsa fun and activities with BigSisterGirl and LilBabySisterGirl. We both slept good Safurday night:)
On Sunnyday, once again, me, the ma and the grandma checked in at the pet expo so we could get to the Splash Dogs by 10 o' the clock. Then right befure my furst wave the lil baby girls and their parents came to see me jump! I am not real sure of my jumps on Sunnyday because they have not been posted at the SplashDogs website and the ma was a bit distracted in rememberin' to check my jumps. We are pretty sure I got a 13' 11" jump which qualified me as the 10th dog to enter the finals. Whew barely made it! There was allota dogs, more than even at the nationals last fall!
Wellwoofs, the finals was to start at 2 o' the clock but with all the dogs, the SplashDogs schedule was off by about a half an hour. They was really encouragin' us to move as fast as we could through our turns but there is always sum pups that's gotta have the drama and takes their times. Anywoofs, it was a long day!
By the time my division, the Junior, finals it was about 4 o' the clock! My best jump was 12' 2" which earned me a 9th place ribbon (outta 9 dogs cuz one was a NJ, no jump). BigSisterGirl went with me and the ma to collect my rosette! She thought it was real pretty!
After a full day o' jumpin' fur me and a full day o' bein' at the expo fur all my peoples we was pretty tired. The peoples went to a restaurant fur dinner and I snoozed. We all said goodbye in the parkin' lot and BigSisterGirl is a bit dramatic in her goodbyes these daze. We went home to the grandfolks place and the lil baby girls went to their own home with their folks.
On Moonday, we got up real early and left fur home. Again, the ma wanted to get thru LA befure there was too much traffic. By leavin' at 5 o' the clock we were somewhat successful:) We did stop twice on the way home, both at rest stops, and the ma threw my ball fur me a bit at the 2nd one.
Finally we made it home. It was a good trip!

Old - Wellwoof, popped my new special soccer ball:( I was bein' so good and gentle with it on Sunnyday the folks made the mistake of leavin' me alone with it when they was gone on Moonday. So fur future reference, I can has softer plastic balls but only under supervision. DUH!
New - On our evenin' walk on Moonday we ran into NeighborManWithABird. Don't think I've barked about him befure. But we sumptimes see him walkin' with a big bird cage strapped to his back with a big bird(parrot) in the cage. The bird's name is Ra. I'm a li'l scared o' NeighborManWithABird and Ra. Anywoofs, while the ma was chattin' with NeighborManWithABird about how nice his aloe plants look I stuck my head into a bush and pulled out a brand new tennis ball:) So one ball popped anofur ball found, all on the same day!
Future - Wellwoof, I was barkin' befure about the folks makin' it up to me fur leavin' me home while they went off and saw the li'l baby girls, Uncle and Auntie, and the grandfolks a coupla weekends ago. So seems the ma is workin' on that:) We (me and the ma) is headin' down to SoCal on Fryday fur a dock divin' event! We has never driven so far just fur dock divin'! Wellwoof, we'll be stayin' with the grandfolks and visitin' with everyone, too.
They all wanna come see me jump! So I'll have my own li'l entourage out in the audience:)

So I barked about my peoples goin' off and leavin' me last weekend. You woulda thought they felt bad and were lookin' fur ways to make it up to me! And if sum certain li'l person sent a pawresent for me to have I would have gotten it right away. But nooooo, the ma just gave me my special soccer ball from BigSisterGirl tonight.
Even though BigSisterGirl didn't getsta see me, she was still thinkin' o' me and was thoughtful enuf to send a gift on fur me. Unfurtunately the gift deliverer was not as thoughtful:( The ma finally pulled it out to take a picture so we could send a thank you to BigSisterGirl.
Anywoofs, I really like my special soccer ball. And I am takin' good care o' it and has not popped it or lost it or nuthin' bad. I am just enjoyin' playin' with it:)

Wellwoof, like I barked a coupla daze ago, we got back from the Yosemite place and on Turdsday the whole fambily was already packin' again. But on Fryday mornin' they woke up and got all ready and left fur work and schools. Or so I thought!
They did not come home on Fryday night! Instead GoodNeighborFriend lady came by and took me fur a walk and lotsa play. I watched the house all by myself all Fryday night! Then on Safurday mornin' GoodNeighborFriend lady came by again and took me fur a nice long walk. Then she let me hang out with her at her place while she did sum gardenin' and yard work and stuff. And the peoples still did not come home. Safurday night I again watched the house all by my lonesome. On Sunnyday mornin' GoodNeighborFriend lady came by again and I spent Sunnyday with her too!
Finally on Sunnyday afternoon all my peoples came home! I was real happy to have all my ball throwers back! Since I had just come back from a long walk I was a bit tired so I did not slobber my happiness over everyone. But to be honest I did not sleep real good on Fryday and Safurday night. So on Sunnyday I slept like a rock.
I has never been left responsible fur the house all night long ever before, let alone two! Where did they go and what did they do fur two whole nights without me?!

Wellwoof, I was havin' a grand ol' Safurday hangin' out with MyBoy, the dad and NeighborWithAPond man at NeighborWithAPond man's house. MyBoy is currently an indentured servant, workin' off some off his Jeep $ with hard labor. This hard labor involves drivin' around on NeighborWithAPond man's ride on lawn mower all over NeighborWithAPond man's lawn.
The dad was just hangin' out with NeighborWithAPond man watchin' MyBoy do his hard labor.
Anywoofs, the dad and NeighborWithAPond man went in the house to get some drinks. While they were in the house and MyBoy was still drivin' around on the lawn mower, who was to show up but that naughty NotMe pup!
NotMe went and rolled my ball into NeighborWithAPond man's Pond! Then NotMe pup jumped in NeighborWithAPond man's Pond and got me all wet with his big splash. Then NotMe pup came outta the Pond and left a big wet spot right where he got out.
Needless to bark, the peoples were not very happy to see a wet dog, ME, near the wet spot. You see, true to form, NotMe was no where to be found when there is blame to accept.
I has been spendin' years mendin' my reputation of not bein' a pond marauder just to have it all ruined in one afternoon:(
