When we went to the camping place Chase found something in the ground and me and Muffit wanted to check it out, too. But we didn’t find anything… though we did have fun digging this big old hole!

I went with the Mum, Chase and Levi to an agility trial last weekend, and we had tons of fun, too. I was really excited when we got there, to see what all was going on. And I wasn’t nervous at all when I got out of the car. It really is fun to go places! Before I’d be really nervous when we went anywhere new, ’cause I wasn’t sure what to expect. But it seems like the Mum is making sure we go to fun places! And this one was fun, too.

We ran around on the grass and got to watch the dogs doing agilities, and it was great. And the Mum says we gotta work more on me so I can learn how to! I can’t wait!

The Mum says I look pretty in my pink coat, and her nephew, my cousin, put the halo on me. Aren’t I a doll?

Wordless Wednesday

The Mum is always taking me lots of places, she says it’ll build my character and make me more brave. Well I’m just brave enough as it is you know. But sometimes new places to scare me a little bit. But that’s okay because I always get to go home after and tell Lucy I’m boss (even though the Mum says that’s bad) and push the boys around.

Anyway so we went to this place called Camping last weekend. It was fun! I was a bit nervous at first, but then there was this girl human there named Madison and I followed her around a lot ’cause she had treats in her pockets. And she was just nice. And we got to go on lots of walks, and sleep in a place called ‘Trailer’. And it was okay but it was too cold at night. The Mum said the Dad ran out of Propanes and that’s why it didn’t get warm from the heater.

We stayed all Saturday, Sunday and came home on Monday. It was fun to dig and chase critters and play with my three brothers and two sisters. We all fit in the Mum’s car, too, but it was a bit tight!

My Mum is going to Colorado tomorrow and she’s taking the laptop with her so I can’t blog! But she said, too, that she won’t have internet access so she won’t be able to blog, either.

So this blog’s not gonna be updated for about a week, until the 18th, or maybe the 21st! Whenever the Mum lets me on the laptop again! Don’t get too bored with out News from Tatum!

I am beat tired! The Mum, me, Chase, Levi, and Muffit all went to flyball practice today. We had to take Dad’s little car ’cause the Mum’s big car is in the shop, it has a big dent in it.

Anyway… you know how I’ve been going over jumps to a lid with a liver on it? Well… we did that at the flyball park! And it was fun. The Mum said she was so proud of me, because I went over three jumps in a row for the livers on the lid! But then I got silly again and had to just run and run and bunny hop around the park! It was lots of fun. But then people had livers so I would go up to them and see if I could have some, and I could!

The place I used to live, where there were tons and tons of dogs… the people would grab my collar and drag me around, and I’m always afraid people will do that to me now. They haven’t in a long time, and the Mum said no one will ever do it again, but I’m still a bit afraid they will.

So it was fun, and now I’m tired!

So the Mum has been taking me outside a bit now that there is not any slippery snow on the ground, and she brings out this white thing and when I jump over it I get a click and a treat. So it’s been fun and I’ve been jumping over it! I was pretty excited… I ran and bunny-hopped over and got the treat on the white plastic lid on the other side.

But then, at the last minute, I thought maybe I’ll go around the jump this time… the Mum had dragged the Dad out to take pictures of me, and so of course I had to do something different! If you want to see me really go over a jump you have to go to the Mum’s blog, Tip Tail. LOL this is funnier!

And then I ran right up to the lid and the Dad didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to get the treat if I didn’t go over the jump and so I ate it anyway and it was yummy. LOL it’s so easy to trick these silly humans. But it is really fun to do these jump things too!

The Mum thinks it might be weird for me to start bouncing off the wall like Chase does, she thinks I’m more delicate than him. Hrmph! I can do anything he can do! Except jump off the side of the couch like Chase and Muffit too.. that’s a bit too high.

The Mum dragged Chase and me to a hotel again.. this one was different. It was only me and Chase and the Mum in the hotel this time. I missed having all the other dogs around. But it was fun to play with Chase, and it was safe in that room, though it smelled kinda funny.

The Mum and Chase did a flyball tournament. I got to stay in my crate where it’s cozy a lot of the time, but sometimes the Mum would bring me out and we would walk around. I have a new best boyfriend! His name is Oreo and he’s a border collie. He’s very handsome! We had a great time playing!

There was some really scary stuff and I tucked my tail, but then there was mostly fun stuff and so I was okay. The Mum said she was very proud of me for being so brave!
