Another good day in the office

Dyl - I got caught up in the weaves this morning and it made me a little slower than I would normally be - well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! - so I could only manage a 2nd place in the 'jumping', loosing out by 0.1 of a second. Mother excelled herself in the 'Agility'!!! She managed to forget which way we were supposed to go on a really simple course. If she doesn't pull her finger out soon I will have to trade her in for a new one. (I wouldn't change her really but this is what she says to me when I do things wrong; which of course is hardly ever) Anyway with the agility a non starter (due to Mum's incompetence) it mean't that I had to try really hard in the 'Fun jumping'. I pulled out all the stops for her and was trying to go really fast. Mum actually remembered which way to go and we won by 4 seconds. I really like it when we win because Mum is even more happy with me than she normally is. She gives me lots of chicken. Mmmmmm chicken, I love chicken....... and cheese....... and sausage.......infact anything that I can eat. Oh I'm dribbling now thinking about food so better sign off before I drool on the computer. x

Taz - Jumping was such good fun this morning. I went really really fast and knocked most of the jumps out of the way. Mum was laughing at me when we finished and so was the person who stands in the middle waving their arms about. I make them happy, I am a good boy! but if she will keep racing me, I have got to try to go faster to beat her to the finish. She was different this afternoon and didn't race me so I managed to keep most of the poles up. I am a good boy! Don't know what is going on with the weaves at the moment. Mum always used to tell me to go weave and I would, then when I was half way through she would call me back and tell me to do them again. I don't wait for her to call me back anymore and come out on my own, start them again and then do them all. I am a good boy! Now all of sudden when I come out and turn to go back to the start of them Mum is running on past me. What is she up to? Got to agree with Squid - she is a very strange woman. I am a good boy to love her so much! x

Keeping Mum happy!

Taz - That's my job........to keep Mum happy! We have been to one of those show things today where we get to spend a lot of time in the car!!! That 'Squid' went quite fast and when she brought him back to the car Mum said he should have done quite well. When she came back again she had this red thing and a trophy and a huge grin on her face. This happened twice. She was harping on about what a clever dog Dylan is and how wonderful he is. I am a little confused; I try to go as fast as I can, knocking the jumps out of the way and flying off the ends of the contacts so I can get a fast time. Mum keeps saying wrong and putting me back on the contacts; making my time really slow and getting me something called 'E' - so how does she expect me to win? I was beginning to feel a little left out when Mum opened my crate door and gave me a huge bit of chicken. She scratched the top of my head and gave me a kiss and said 'we had some fun didn't we Tazzie - you are such a good boy' I love my Mum she never gets angry with me and as for that little upstart Squidy; well I don't care if he wins all the trophies and red rosettes as long as my Mum has FUN with me. That's what keeps her happy having fun with us!

Tuesdays - Hmmmm I love 'em

Dylan - Ha ha ha, I'm off to see Aunty Sally with Mum in a minute and Taz has to stay at home. I do love Tuesdays as I get to run around for a whole hour doing agility. I try to get it right and do very well actually but as for Mum - well she ought to listen to what she preaches and be a little more consistent. How she expects me to get it right when she's so late telling me what to do. I tell her off though - I shout at her and say 'bloody hell woman, tell me sooner then I can actually get that turn' She doesn't like it much when I answer back but she does take notice and tries harder next time.

The only thing I don't like about Tuesday's is that sometimes I have to go in a strange car. It smells funny and that other dog is there. He's quite nice though and we are good friends but if he didn't come I could have the whole hour to myself instead of sharing!

I wonder what we will be doing today. I hope it's not contacts, I don't really like them very much I much prefer running at full speed but I have to stop on a contact! I do however get a tasty morsel when I stop -(so I usually do) but I'd rather be running.

Hmmmmm what tasty morsels will Mum be taking today. Could be sausage or cheese mmmmmmmmmmmm cheese, sausage, cheese, sausage of course she might just offer that bloody toy instead. I have started to bite the blasted thing really hard cos I want to get rid of it. Mum seems very pleased with me when I try to kill it, she is a very strange woman!
