Okay so the Mum is asking me about what hoomans wear and what do I know about that? I just don’t know much. What do you know about it? Jet knows that if the Mum and the Dad leave their clothes on the floor, that he’ll grab them up and take them outside and play tug with them! Whether it’s women’s clothing or men’s clothing, Jet doesn’t care. And if it’s one of the Dad’s Polo Shirts, or one of his old grungy T-shirts too. Or sometimes even his boxer shorts!
So anyway though sometimes the Mum and the Dad have to put nice clothes on after they shower (oh man, showering is so horrible! Why do they do it?) and then they go out somewhere fancy. But most of the time they just lay around at home and don’t do much and wear grungy clothes. And that’s what I like because then if us dogs get them dirty, they don’t care, because they are already dirty!
So yesterday the Mum dig up the big glass box thingy that she calls a Fish Tank, but I don’t know why she calls it a Fish Tank because there are no fish in it. I would know, since I like to EAT fish. But I sure don’t like to eat the things that are in that tank! And there’s no water either, just a lot of dirt at the bottom. And they are called Hermit Crabs and if they get too close, they will grab you on the nose and pinch you!
But the Mum is good and she doesn’t let the icky Hermit Crabs get too close to me or the other dogs. We stay away, even when they crawl out of their little plastic tubs she put them in when she was cleaning their icky tank. But they are all put away again and the Mum just watched them and watched them and thought they were so funny when they crawled around to check out their new digs. I just thought they were icky!
So the Mum tells everybody that she knows that it’s not very safe to drive fast. Because the Mum has been in three car accidents that were really, really bad and they scared her a lot. And she says that the only reason she is alive today is because of the seat belts she was wearing.
So the Mum doesn’t speed either, because she knows that it’s not safe. And she drives the speed limit (okay she does go over the speed limit once in a while). But she hasn’t gotten a speeding ticket since she was like 17 years old, which was like a zillion years ago in dog years. Humans live so long it’s just weird. But so the Mum doesn’t have radar detectors in her cars because she doesn’t go so fast as to need them.
It’s just safer to go slower and be good. The Mum said she was in two rollovers, and with one even Lucy was with her! And she doesn’t ever want to get into an accident like that every again. Her first rollover no dogs were with, just her Mum and her Dad, which was scary too. And then she said a lady ran a red light in front of her going to work a couple of years ago, and she t-boned that lady. But if the timing was any different the lady would have smashed right into the drivers side of the car and the Mum could have been really badly hurt, and that would have been super bad.
So let’s everyone drive really safely and not too fast so the cops don’t pull anyone over! Let’s all be safe!
So yup I did more weave poll thingies in the back yard. The Mum says she wants me to practice every day. And since I don’t really know how to do them yet, I need the Mum there to practice with me. So she did some video of me last night and aren’t I just good? I had fun too, you can tell because my tail was wagging. I like eating the tune brownies! And even though it’s hard to learn the weave polls, this smooth collie girl can do it!
I think I’m starting to understand how it all works but it’s confusing and it’s hard to bend my body around those weird things! The Mum wonders who came up with these things anyway. Because they are hard for me to learn. Maybe I need some prenexa vitamins to help me be stronger so I can do them better. But the Mum says, we will keep trying, and I will learn soon!
This picture is not of a scary place…. this picture is of the fun hiking place we went to up in the mountains which I really liked and had a good time doing. But on Sunday the Mum took me to a kinda scary place. Even though my friend Daniel was there, he’s a Cattledog and he’s really nice and I love to play with him, but the inside of the building was weird and sounded funny and I didn’t like it very much. I didn’t even really want the tuna brownies the Mum gave me. But I did some lay on my mat and some go over the jump and some walk around and it wasn’t too bad. And I did some lay in the crate and that was good too!
So I was thinking that it’s always good to have something that makes sure the car works okay because if the car breaks down and it’s too hot outside, and you are stuck in a scary place, then it’s too hard to get home! So there are places like Chicago auto repair that can make sure your car works really well. Though the Mum wouldn’t ever leave me anywhere. She makes sure we are all safe and that is really the best, she’s a good Mum even though she pushes me sometimes and I get a bit scared. Though we don’t have a Toyota Corolla, the car we do have is really safe and the air conditioner works really well. You don’t want the water pump going out on a hot day because that would be really dangerous.
Us dogs, and people too, can get over-hot and then we can get sick and maybe even die and that’s not a good thing! We want to live long fun healthy lives and so the Mum and the Dad take good care of us and take us home where there is a nice Swamp Cooler to keep us cool. So I got to go home after on Sunday and relax and boss everyone around again and that was great!
The lake was really big! I get my feet in lakes sometimes but I don’t like to swim. Collies don’t swim! My brother Jet might swim someday but he is not so sure about it yet. But the hike to Dog Lake was fun though the Mum says it wasn’t the best ab workout it was still a good workout! I slept a lot after the hike but now I want to go again because it was like a week ago that we went!
The Mum says that we have to do agility teaching first and then maybe we can go on another hike up the canyon. I hope so because hikes are really fun!
Yay finally the Mum took her camera with and got some pictures of me up the canyon! We went last Friday and oh boy it was a really long hike! It was fun though and afterward I got home and slept on my comfy bed. And then I typed some random numbers like 108R00724 just because it’s fun to do!
I ran a lot at the beginning of our hike but then at the end I walked with the Mum because she goes slower than Jet and Muffit do. And the Dad came with too and he was fun to be with.
It was really green and there were lots of other fun dogs too. It was a canyon called Millcreek and we went to the top which is Dog Lake and I’ll post up some pictures of the lake later!
So the Mum says she hasn’t taken many pictures because she has just got back from that place called Denmark and so she only has pictures of Jet! Well he’s kinda cute but I’m cuter. But anyway here is a picture of Jet if you want to see it.
So this is a short post but I’m gonna make the Mum post up some pictures of me tomorrow or I’ll bite her in the but! Maybe I’ll give her a noxycut right on the behind!
Okay so here is another picture of Jet in Denmark. He did so many cool things! He wanted to chase these horses really super bad but the Mum wouldn’t let him. So he just stared at them and tried to bark but he was too busy staring to bark.
And now Jet has an eye infection and has to get eye drops! They are awful! He keeps complaining to me about them but I’m just glad it’s not me that has to have them. Maybe some eye creams that work would help me but then again maybe not.
Anyway, so the Mum says she filled out some papers for me to enter a Rally Trial but what is that? She says she’ll teach me what it’s all about in the next couple of weeks, because I need to learn it all quick!
So here are some pictures of my brother Jet and the Mum when they were at the World Dog Show in Herning, Denmark. To me, it just looks really super red. Why did they use red carpet? To make it fancy? I think it’s just RED!
Jet and the Mum
The Mum said the judges didn’t like Jet very much because he’s too young and he’s not very broad in the chest yet. But he’s not fat, because we don’t like to be fat… we like to be healthy. Maybe we need to find some 7-dfbx reviews to get skinny, but that’s not good either because we like to eat!
Jet and the Mum also went to another dog show before this one and I’ll post pictures of that one later too! And it’s not red! It’s green, because it’s in the green grass. And though this looks like an okay thing to do because you can eat lots of treats in the ring, I still think agility is more fun!
Hi I'm Tatum and welcome to my blog! I'm a smooth sable collie, the prettiest kind! The Mum said a blog would be a fun thing for me to do, I can tell everyone how I'm gonna learn some things called agility, and obedience, and flyball.. and go on walks and play in the park and bark at the TV and lots of fun stuff!
