Taz: We've been to lots of those showey things lately. Each week Mum seems to take us to one, they are fun. I get to run really fast and can never do anything wrong. Mum is always pleased with me but sometimes more pleased than others. This weekend we'd been a long way and had that housey-thing-on-wheels on the back of the car. It always means I get to sleep with Mum when we take that (but not on her bed as she need too much room!). Anyway Mum was really really pleased with me on Sunday. I jumped over all of the jumps and weaved and listened/watched really carefully to what she was saying, so when she pointed to the black bin bag that was hanging on the side of the ring, I even went to investigate that. Mum called me back quickly and I ran as fast as I could. She was really pleased because she was laughing. I've never been sent to a black sack before, I wonder what obstacle name that has. She gave me lots of cuddles when we had finished and lots of chicken!!!! A bit later on she turned up with a rosette and apparently I'd had a clear round. Squiddy got 2 rosettes this weekend but both of his had a number on. They didn't say clear round - mine's better than his, well I think so anyway and Mum is very very pleased. Stupid Squid thinks he has done something wonderful. Doesn't he realise that if it doesn't say clear round on his rosette then he is just an 'also-ran' He may have got a placing but what's that in comparison to a 'clear round?' I am so clever. I am a good boy. I shall keep running around with my tail in the air and my ears all puffed out. I am the bees knees and Mum keeps telling me so.
Dyl: I don't know what's wrong with Maggot, he is acting very peculiar and Mum seems to be encouraging him. I suppose he did get one of those rosette things last weekend, he doesn't get very many so he might be a bit excited about that. I've got lots and lots of rosettes but I still want more as it makes Mum so happy when we get one.
We went to another small dog club to have a go in their playground. Their jumps and things were very different to what I'm used to and Mum wouldn't let me do some of the obstacles. (I was quite pleased because one of them was like the side of a mountain and I wouldn't have gone up there even if she had offered a whole chicken, hmmmmmm chicken, well I might have had a go if there was chicken on offer but as there wasn't I was glad that I didn't have to try!) We had a good run around and then had to go back to the car while Mum had some lovely food. I know it was lovely food because I could smell it and it made me dribble. Mum says that they are going to come to us and have a go in our playground. We will make it a bit of a party and have some lovely food as well.
Apparantly we are 'going to wipe the floor with them' They will get very dirty and dusty as our floor is covered in wooden chips. I wouldn't want Mum to wipe the floor with me but will be interested to see how we are going to do it. I wonder if we will we attach a stick to them and push them around or just push them around with our feet? Can't wait to see this one, Mum can practice with Maggot. He likes doing new things! She can wipe the floor with him! She is very strange sometimes.
