So the Mum says this is called K9 Nose Work and it’s a fun new sport where us dogs get to use our noses and find fun stuff! Well the stuff isn’t too fun eventually, but the finding of it is super fun!

Here is a video the Mum took of me doing it a little bit ago. I really love it! You get to sniff out treats in the house! Sometimes the treats are in the box. Sometimes the treats are on a chair. Sometimes they are just hidden in really weird places that I gotta find! The Mum does it with all of us and sometimes the other dogs get really jealous when I get to go. You can hear Jet in the background on this video, he is whining and crying so much because he wants his turn! But he gets lots of turns too. When he goes, I bark, because I want to go!

It’s way fun!

So it’s that weird time of year when Hoomans give things to each other and they wrap them up in weird paper that I like to walk on and chew up when the Mum is doing it. Sometimes she makes up Food Gift Baskets with stuff like that’s in this picture. It’s called Marzipan and the Hoomans in the Mum’s family really like to eat it. It’s super sweet and lots of Hoomans don’t like to eat it. I will eat it kinda but I don’t know if it’s very good at all. It’s just weird.

I think the whole gifting thing is just odd. Why not just make treats and eat them up right away? Heck, why not just eat the tuna out of the can instead of making it into treats in the first place? Yeah, that would be best. Tuna all the time. Because Tuna is the yummiest food in the whole wide world. But sorry dogger friends I would keep it all to myself and not share because I really like it a lot!

I think maybe I’ve posted a picture like this before, but the Mum says it’s just a fun cute picture that I should post it again. See this is me in Jet’s little teeny bed. I don’t really fit but I like it because he sleeps in it and so this bed must be good too! I have some beds that are more my size but this bed is by the heater vent. Can you see the heater vent? It makes the spot really snuggly warm to sleep in.

Jet gets really cold because he doesn’t have much fur at all so the Mum puts the beds by the heaters. But Jet sleeps in the Mum’s bed with her at night snuggled up next to her under the blankets. I sleep on the Mum’s bed sometimes when I’m feeling especially brave. And it sure is snuggly warm up there too. And comfy. And it’s the most important spot in the whole house so I like it there because I’m important too.

Maybe I need to shoo Jet out of the heater spot sometimes, if I use some hunting binoculars I bet I could see him from a really far place away! Then I could always get there first!

So me and my brother Jet got to go to a hooman Christmas Colliedays Pawty last Saturday. We had fun! We got to see Sky and Sadie and Seiki and Rush and play with them! Oh and there were hoomans there too and they were okay, because they gave us some yummy table treats which were really good!

Here are some pictures that the Mum took but she didn’t get very many good ones. Up above is me and Jet having to lay on the mat when the hoomans ate. Which wasn’t any fun, but the Mum gave us scraps of her Mac and Cheese and that was pretty good so it wasn’t too bad.

Then that picture above is me and Jet playing with Sky. He’s really a fun border collie and we like to visit his house!

At the end of the night I was pretty tired and so that’s a picture of me resting on the mat by myself. The Mum should get some good hp printers and print our pictures because they are fun pictures even though there’s not very many of them. But we had fun and we thank Aunt Julia for letting us come!

Well here is a picture of our whole furry family. There’s me, my smooth blue collie brother Levi, my smooth blue collie sister Lucy, my border collie brother Chase, and my Danish-Swedish Farmdog brother Jet. My border collie brother Muffit isn’t in the picture because he doesn’t know how to pose for pictures. The Mum says he is too frantic and will never hold still so she doesn’t even try. But he’s a good hiker that goes with my Dad all the time!

This is also our Christmas Tree that the Mum and the Dad put up last weekend. I think it’s weird to have a tree in the house. And Muffit just wants to pee on it. And Jet wants to pull all the fun ornaments off (I have pulled a couple off myself!) and so the Mum put an x-pen around it so we can’t. She is a party pooper! Maybe I’ll steal her cheap eyeglasses so that I can chew them instead!

The Mum put the mats over the tile so we can play and train in the winter. The flyball box is there too, for Jet to work on when the Mum has time. And we do some jumps and we do some finding-the-treats-in-the-boxes that the Mum calls K9 Nose Work and it’s all just fun!

One of the things… hmm… no wait, the thing I hate most in the whole wide world, is when the Mum and the Dad think it’s time to mess with my feets. Uck! I hate it! They have to do this noisy scary thing they call a dremmel and the rub it on my toenails. Why do they do it! I hate it! The Mum says that it’s because my toenails get long and they have to make them short or I won’t be able to walk properly. But that is just dumb because I can always walk properly.

Don’t you think I have very cute feet with just fine toenails? I do, and I wish the Mum and the Dad would stop messing with them every month! But the Mum says they never will. I guess I get dried livers afterward but still I really hate it!

I want to just go and eat all their outdoor Christmas decorations so they won’t have them anymore. Each time they mess with my feets!
