Tatum Tot Spice CGC

Okay so have you had enough of watching me do agiliy? Of course you don’t! I am so good and have so much fun! This is my second run on Monday.

I sure don’t need any fat burner supplement to help me get around the course. I am so good and fast and trim! I look good don’t I? The Mum said I was even slower this time, but hey, I was tired you know. And I did have fun though. Look, you can see my tail waiving and waiving and when I do that it means I’m happy and having a good time. And the Mum was there and she makes me feel more comfortable when I can do the agility with her.

We get to do more next month, so I’ll have more fun videos then I hope!

So here is me doing agility again! Aren’t I just so good! This is my first run on Monday. I got to stay home on Sunday because I wanted to nap more than anything else. But then on Monday I was ready to go do some more. Though the Mum said I was a bit slow and really should kinda go faster… I thought hey, it’s hard to think about all those jumps and tunnels and things and so I really needed to think to make sure I got them all!

Agility sure is a good fat burner and I ran all the way around the course with the Mum. Aren’t I just the cutest agility collie you’ve ever seen?

Okay so I’m the best agility collie ever and I win! Check me out, how cool am I? The Mum says there’s no real Q for prenovice ’cause that’s what I did, but Aunt Marie says that I won first place! I knew I would! So I believe Aunt Marie and not the Mum.

I think maybe I’ll have new careers doing agility because I’m so good at it. The Mum… she didn’t think I’d do this good. But it was really super fun! And this was my second run, and I was so happy I got to do it again, that I dragged the Mum back to the ring!

It’s kinda blurry because the hoomans were goofy and had the camera on the wrong setting. But you get the idea, of how great I did!

Yup, it’s going to happen this coming weekend! If you want to see how good I do at agility, then you’ll have to come watch or see the video later!!!

This picture was taken of me a year ago at the agility trial that I am going to make my debut in this coming weekend. Cool fun huh? I’m a smooth collie girl gonna do agility! I’m going to do really well. Though if the jumps are not fun looking then I might want to go around them instead of over them. But that won’t be my fault, that will be the fault of the people who set them up.

Maybe I’ll go tumbling like a compost tumbler and spin and weave and dodge and confuse everyone! But it’ll be fun anyway. My first time in a ring. Woo Hoo! The Mum says shes nervous now but I’m not. I’ll have fun!

So the Mum has this new training plan for me and Jet and I’m kinda confused but I get to figure it all out because she tells me what she wants me to do with the clicker and then I get to eat treats if I get it right. But sometimes I want to hide like in this picture because sometimes the Mum is confusing and I’m not sure what she wants!

It’s kinda like entertainment centers when we have fun and it’s really entertaining, but sometimes it’s just hard. So the Mum sometimes wants me to put just my bum on the ground, and other times she wants me to put my whole body on the ground. And she says stuff but you know, it’s kinda hard to listen to her when there are lots of treats somewhere behind her! So sometimes I just do the same thing I did the last time but then I don’t get the treat and I forget to listen!

So I gotta try to remember to listen but I really just want to eat those yummy treats!

So here I am doing agility! Aren’t I the best ever! I think so! The Mum thinks I’m a little bit slow and I need more speed and forward focus. And I get a little distracted and I kinda like to wander off and go around jumps instead of over them. But the Mum is learning how to do agility my way!

Aren’t I awful good! the Mum says I’m sometimes just the awful part but she’s just silly because I’m such a great smooth collie agility working girl! What do you all think? Maybe I’ll just stick the Mum in a shipping box and send her off somewhere so I can do agility all by myself. Heck I am so good I hardly need her to tell me where to go!

Here is a picture of me getting a really good look at Jet’s teeth. Aren’t they shiny and white? We like to play and Jet puts out his teeth and I just laugh at him because he looks funny! He does it to the Mum too and she laughs at him too because he is a silly puppy of just eight months old.

So anyway last time we did agility fun things was last Friday and guess what? The Mum put up lots of jumps in a row in lots of turns and corners and things and I did them all! And she also put in the Teeter Totter which is really fun and I push it down and it goes BANG and I don’t care or get scared.

This Friday my Aunt Marie is going to come play agility stuff with us and bring her little shelties with and I get to show them all how good I’m doing. I’ll get it on the video machine too so I can post it all up and show you guys how much fun and how good I am at doing agility!

So the Mum said that I had to take this test last weekend and that it would mean that I was a Canine Good Citizen. I already know that I’m a good citizen but I guess they wanted this test so that they could prove it to the world and get this funny peice of paper to hang on the wall. So now I can be called Tatum Tot Spice CGC. That is kinda neat those letters after my name!

This is me doing some of it. I was kinda nervous up on the top of the arena place, I like it downstairs better, so we did some downstairs too and the Mum didn’t get video of us downstairs.

I’m smart though and I passed really well! We didn’t send out any communion invitations to my test but that’s okay because I was a bit nervous anyway and didn’t want anyone else to watch!
