Jet turned two years old, five days ago. On April 25th. That’s the day that the Mum got that new video camera, too. She said she can take lots of videos of all of us, but mostly of me, I think.

This picture is of me and my pack and the Mum giving out Jet’s birthday treats. They were good and I think we should get them every day not just on birthdays. Hopefully we won’t need any colovox since we ate them!

I am feeling better now and almost back to all completely normal. The Mum is happy and so am I. But I still don’t get to do agility next weekend. That’s okay, I get to do it in a few weeks and that’s a good thing it’ll be fun. It’s been snowy so the Mum hasn’t been able to get out the weaves polls so that I can practice. They are HARD and I need lots of practice!

Well, it’s been a while now and I still don’t feel really perfect yet. The Mum has been really trying to get me to feel better and giving me lots of tuna treats and tuna in my dinner and lots of other tuna, which is really yummy, and almost makes me want to be sick more. But can’t I eat tuna and feel good at the same time? I’d rather do that. The Mum took me back to the icky doctor last week, because I’d thrown up again, and they made me sit under an x-ray machine that took pictures of my insides. The Mum was worried about what the pictures showed and the doctor gave me some Antibiotics things and said she hoped that I feel better soon.

Well I have been feeling a little better every day since and that’s a good thing for sure. I still don’t want to do much long walkies and the Mum says that’s good because I have to rest and get strong again. So I don’t get to do agility in a couple of weeks but that’s okay. I’ll get to do it again in a month so that should be lots of fun too, and then I’ll feel better.

The Mum has been taking me in the back yard a little and we do weave polls and that’s a lot of fun. We only do a little bit at a time, though, so I don’t get too tired. But I like them and it makes me really happy! So here is a video of me doing them.

Maybe eating some apple bottoms would help me to feel better soon, but I’m a dog, not a person, so an apple a day might not keep the vet away!

I don’t really feel good. I haven’t felt good for a few days, and I am not sure about how to tell the Mum and the Dad about why I don’t feel good. I am kinda scared because I don’t feel good, and so I’ve kept my tail down for the last few days and I just hope that I’ll feel better soon.

Last weekend I had the runny poop and that wasn’t any fun at all. Then when the Mum got home from work on Tuesday night, I was really scared. But I was only kinda scared, I was really just not feeling good. The Mum worried about me all Tuesday night and she didn’t sleep very well. She stayed up for a couple of hours in the wee morning hours with me too and that was nice. But sometimes I think I like to be left alone when I’m not feeling good.

The Mum took me to the doctor on Wednesday morning and I had to stay there for a couple of hours. It wasn’t any fun and they poked at me and did lots of tests and things. The doctor said that my liver is a teeny bit weird because of the blood of mine that they looked at. And she also said that there is an icky worm living inside of me. It’s called a hookworm and that might be making me feel bad.

I don’t know what it is. The Mum thinks I’m afraid of her because maybe I think it’s her that made me feel bad. But I’ve been playing with Jet a little in the yard today, and barking at the neighbors, so I feel a little bit better. But I still am not biting the Mum in the but yet. And the Mum hopes I will soon, because she knows that is a good sign and then she knows I feel good.

I don’t really want to go out but the Mum says maybe she’ll get some weave polls out tomorrow and we can do some training and that might be fun. The weather is supposed to be nice. But maybe not nice enough to stay in our trailer or get motorhome insurance yet but being outside and eating yummy treats should cheer me up, I hope so anyway.

The Mum took me to do some agility training at the field we practice in about a week ago and I was nervous again! I haven’t been there for some months because it’s been too cold and snowy. So I forgot about how it was when I went there all the time. I didn’t run at all I just jogged with the Mum. But she did give me yummy tuna brownies and I liked them a lot.

The Mum says I just need to keep going there and I’ll get better in a couple of weeks. But we keep having snow again and so we don’t get to go back. This picture is from a big snow storm we had but we don’t have that much snow now. Just enough so that we can’t do agility in the grass. I hope we get to go again to do some more agility soon because the Mum entered me into a trial in a few weeks and I want to practice and get more comfortable again!

So maybe there’ll be some industrial bearings on the equipment that will help it move easy and so I’ll be more comfortable but I don’t know so much about that either! Anyway I just want to go do it some more so that I’m not so nervous about it!

Yup, here is me on one of my many thrones. Because I’m a princess, so the Mum tells me. This is the new fun chair we got from some fun hooman friends and this is the ottoman that I am on. It’s pretty comfy and it’s one of my new fun places to curl up on!

I like to get the best places at home, because the other dogs sometimes get them first. And so when I’m on the best places, I growl at the other dogs so that they know I’m the princess! And then I don’t need Lipofuze because I’m trim and fit just the way I am!

Did you know that I wear a fun collar? It’s pink, and it says Life Is Good on it and it makes me happy because Life Is Good! Though the Mum doesn’t like hanging things like tags on our collars, she sometimes will put something like a personal creations heart keychain tag on there. Because they are kinda fun for a while and they make us like we have necklaces on. Though we have to take them off when we do agility because there’s not hanging things allowed on collars when we do any agility.

But the Mum also uses keychains so that she won’t lose her keys, because she says that she looses keys all the time and she wishes she knew where she put them all. But most of the time she finds them eventually and if they have cute hearts on them then that’s all a good thing too!

The Mum watches a lot of TV. She says it helps her to relax after we do lots of agility and running around the park and stuff. Which is fine with me because I get to watch TV sometimes too and if there is a dog on the TV, then I get to bark at him! We have a good sound system on the TV too so that I can hear every little yelp and wimper of the dogs. And the Mum says she thought I’d be done barking at the TV by now, but with our smart home systems I will never stop!

I think all dogs that bark must want to have another dog to bark back at them, and so that’s what I do! Especially when it sounds really good like our TV room does!
