So the Mum decided that I get to do agility again! She says sometimes she feels like she is Cheer Leading me and it’s hard to do that for a whole run, especially when I’d rather walk or just kinda look around in the ring. But I do think it’s fun even while walking. So Saturday I get to do some agility that should be fun. Jet gets to go for three days but the Mum says he runs faster than me so I guess it’s okay. I’ll stay home and bite Dad in the but because I like doing that too!

The Mum does hope that eventually I’ll run and get some Qs in open… but it depends on how good of treats she has. If she has the tuna then maybe I will, but I haven’t decided yet. Maybe if she bought some salmon or maybe even some anchovies. She had those the other day and we got them on our dinners and super yum I like anchovies!

Here are some pictures of me at the Dog Park last weekend. It snowed and I like the snow! We didn’t even need any crabgrass killer because there was no grass, just snow!

Yaaa do you know what month it is? It’s January, and January is boring. The Mum takes us to the park a little, and around the block on walks, but not more more. She says there’s an agility trial in a week that I get to do for a day, but that’s not for a whole week. And so we play Sniff Treats in Boxes (that she calls K9 Nose Work Something) and we do walkies but that’s about it.

These are some fun stickers that the Mum has put up on window that smile at us during the day at home. So they are fun. Maybe if Mum got some cheap silver dollars we could put them up on the windows too.

I’ll tell the Mum to get more pictures. But we don’t even have anymore snow. It is so warm that’s it’s rained and melted it all!

This is my Uncle Mark. He came to that pawty I was at over the New Year at Sadie’s and Sky’s house. My Mum though I should post this picture because I get the comfy chair, and Uncle Mark gets the non-comfy chair. But isn’t that the way it’s supposed to be? I’m the collie girl, after all, and I’m the most special one. Sometimes I think the hoomans should just ride on the suv bike racks on top of the cars, and us dogs should ride in the comfy seats, because we have soft fur anyway and we like to be comfy!

I like to go to hooman pawties and sit on hooman chairs and stuff. They are fun and comfy.

Yay it snowed! I love the snow. This is a picture of me and Jet playing in the snow. Chase is there too, and he plays sometimes with us, but not as much as Jet plays. But playing is awesome. And then we went to the park when it was snowy, and I ran and ran and ran. I really love to run when it’s cold and snowy, it makes me feel super good!

The Mum says we need some house cleaning services cary nc after we come in after playing in the snow, because sometimes we get muddy, too. And muddy is also fun, but the Mum says she doesn’t like the mud so much. But she hasn’t made us take baths yet, so that’s good, because baths and cold just don’t mix!

So the Mum says it’s a new year now, but I think it’s just still winter. Though there hasn’t been any snow at all. I like the snow, it’s fun to run around in. But it’s all dry and brown here and the Mum says it’s not any fun to have everything dry and brown.

The Mum says I should look into Housekeeper Jobs because then I could make some money for fun stuff to do, but I like just laying at home and being a lazy girl and bossing the boys around. It’s fun to boss the boys around!

The Mum has been doing Cyber Rally with Jet, Chase and Levi. Here is a video of Levi doing it, and he got a Q too. The Mum took me out and I thought I needed to do something with all the thingies on the ground. Because that’s what we always do with agility and stuff. The Mum tried to get me to stay with her with treats but I’d run off and touch things to make sure that’s what she wanted! She says we have some work still before we do mucy Cyber Rally.

The Dad thought it would be really cool to have a super big bed in the Living Room now that we are upstairs. But the Mum says it’s a pain to have to step over it. Especially for Levi, since he’s old and 12 years old at that, and sometimes he doesn’t lift his feet up right. So this is a picture of me chewing on a bone on the mattress before the Mum moved it into the spare bedroom.

So now we can’t lay on the mattress in the Living Room, but maybe there’ll be a patient monitor that we can use to make sure that it’s okay in the other room for people when they lay on it. Anyway, bones are good, and this is me chewing one. And Jet seems to always want to steal my bone, but the Mum helps me keep it because sometimes I don’t like when he stares at me so I just walk away from it. But the Mum makes sure I get it back.

It’s been kinda boring around here lately.. well, the Mum has been taking us to the park a bit, and sometimes we get to go on walks around the blocks. And sometimes we get to play the Muffin Tin Game which is fun, too. But it’s been kinda cold and there’s not really much to do. So I growl at all the boys to keep them in line which is a good thing.

This is me on the Web Cam that the Mum got working again. Once we moved the TV room upstairs the web cam stopped, but now it’s set up again and so I’m famous again. I like being famous so the world can see me. It’s on and you can watch it Monday through Friday when the Mum is at work!

Me and the boys in the house need to think up some gift ideas mom says, because she wants some for Christmas that is coming. But I just think she needs to get us stuff, because we are fun to shop for!

We went to the park again and it was fun. This is a picture of me. The Mum calls it a Tongue Shot because my tongue is showing and she says that’s kinda rare in pictures. But I don’t think it matters because I know I have a cute tongue!

So the Mum says it’s getting to be time for Christmas but I don’t really know what that is all about, except for it’s getting colder and the Mum looks for buckle coupons so she can buy things for her hooman family. I just want her to buy me bones and tunas and treats and other fun things to eat. And lots of soft beds. I like soft beds they are super. I usually steal whichever chair or bed the Mum is sitting on when she gets up. They are the best of them all.

The Mum went out last Saturday and got us this new fun chair. The Dad is kinda scared of it, because the Mom got it for $20 at somebody else’s house that the Mom doesn’t know. So the Dad is afraid it might have something living in there that he is afraid of.

Us dogs have been all over the chair and so far we found some crumbs and some dirts but nothing living in there, so we think it’s a good chair. The Mum said she wanted another chair for our TV room, but nothing that would cost a lot. Because if we chew it up then she says it’s wasted money and that’s no good. I don’t know what money is but it must be lots of food or treats or something because the Mum thinks it has lots of value.

So maybe this chair isn’t good for any free dating but it’s good to play on and to sleep on and to have fun on. It even reclines so the hoomans can be relaxed on it. Though the Mum wants to clean it up a bit because it does not smell like us and we want it to smell like us more.

This is Pearl and she needs a home. Some mean people dumped her in a scary shelter in central Utah a couple of weeks ago. But some really nice people pulled her out and got her to a foster home! She came to visit with us for a half a day, and I liked playing with her. But sometimes she wants to keep playing, and we wanted to stop playing, but she just kept on so I had to growl at her a little bit. But she’s very young and needs to learn stuff so that’s okay.

Pearl is called a color-headed white rough collie. She’s healthy. She has the white gene but Mom says that is okay for collies. It’s the merle gene that can be dangerous. She’s really friendly and loves to play and needs to learn some doggie rules.

If you would like to adopt Pearl visit Sheltie Rescue of Utah’s website and see more about her!

It’s kinda scary when us dogs get lost, we don’t have barcode scanners but we can have microchips since we can’t talk to people in words. So every doggie needs a microchip!

Here is us playing with Pearl:
