It’s fun! This video is of my at the Standard Course. I liked the one with Jumps better.  The Mum said that I ran really nice at the one with Jumps. I didn’t finish my weave polls, though, because there are SO MANY of them and it takes a lot of concentration to do them all! The Mum said I would have gotten a Q in the Jumpers course I was only one second under course time. That would have been good to get on videos!

But it was fun to go. I get to do again twice in February. I like agility. I’d kinda like to go more but the Mum says she has to WORK and that’s just dumb. Let’s not work, let’s play!

Though sometimes the Mum says she needs to look at her dressing table too, because she needs to find new clothes to wear for agility. But why wear any… oh wait, I hoomans are better when they wear clothes!

So the Mum decided that I get to do agility again! She says sometimes she feels like she is Cheer Leading me and it’s hard to do that for a whole run, especially when I’d rather walk or just kinda look around in the ring. But I do think it’s fun even while walking. So Saturday I get to do some agility that should be fun. Jet gets to go for three days but the Mum says he runs faster than me so I guess it’s okay. I’ll stay home and bite Dad in the but because I like doing that too!

The Mum does hope that eventually I’ll run and get some Qs in open… but it depends on how good of treats she has. If she has the tuna then maybe I will, but I haven’t decided yet. Maybe if she bought some salmon or maybe even some anchovies. She had those the other day and we got them on our dinners and super yum I like anchovies!

Here are some pictures of me at the Dog Park last weekend. It snowed and I like the snow! We didn’t even need any crabgrass killer because there was no grass, just snow!

The Mum has been asking me lately if I still want to do agility. She says that sometimes she gets a little bit tired of having to be so happy to get me to go around the courses and trials. She says it’s a lot of work for her and sometimes she doesn’t have much fun doing it. So she wants to know if I have much fun doing it, or if I’d rather do something else, maybe like pulling a cart like I did at camp. Which was fun and I didn’t have to go fast at all.

I told her that I do like to do the agilities but I like it more when we go and play at the practice area better. The trials are a bit stressful for me and so I don’t feel comfortable running really. I’d rather walk and do all the fun things, but the Mum says to really do it we are supposed to run. But when I get out there I just get worried and I just can’t run when I worry!

Maybe I need some breakdown service when I am out there to have someone help me get moving faster so I’m not so nervous. But the Mum says she’ll never get mad or make me do what I don’t want to do so that’s a good thing. So I think I’d like to keep doing it for a while. The Mum says she can retire in a year and a half and then she can do more practicing with me too which would be lots more fun anyway. I like that she’ll be able to be home more!

This is our little agility tent for when we do agility and need to set up outside. It can be cold and rainy outside, and so we have to have someplace where we can get warm and have our crates and stuff. The little grey tent in the middle is ours. That’s where me and Jet had our crates at the last trial and it was snuggly warm in there. But then again I like it cooler than Jet does. He has a fluffier bed than me and sometimes he wears a coat.

The Mum has a coat for me too but she got it for me when I was lots younger so now it doesn’t really fit much anymore, it’s too tight! But it’s pink and it’s really cool and I like pink, pink is my best color. When we are in the nice snuggly tent waiting for our turn to go and have fun doing agility, we don’t think much about term life insurance, instead we read course maps and eat yummies and drink some water to get ready. Though agility has been rather stressful for me lately, the Mum hasn’t had much time to get us out training, and I do lots better when I can get out training!

I did agility again last weekend but I didn’t run very fast. It was sunny outside when I ran and I didn’t really want to run when it was too warm. I did good though and the Mum gave me lots of tuna brownies and liver treats too, which I really like.

I still with that we could go to camp more often because it was fun. This picture is of me, Levi and Jet when we were on our way down to the beach to run around and play. The beach was fun and I want to go back. The Mum says I should learn to swim, though, and I really don’t want to! Just because Levi got pushed off the pier and into the water because I accidentally bumped him… she says I should learn to swim too so if something like that happens to me, I can swim out. I just say, no pushing in the water for me!

Instead I think maybe I’ll buy the Mum some hp laserjet ink cartridges so she can print out all the cool pictures she took of us at camp!

This weekend I’m doing agility with the Mum again. And it’s okay kinda fun, but I liked going to camp better. I want to go back every month, or every week, or just live there, but the Mum says we can’t. We can’t afford it with money (whatever that is) and then it also gets cold and snowy in the winter and the Mum doesn’t like that very much either.

So we are back from camp and we get to go to the park and do agilities and stuff, but it’s not nearly as fun as camp was. Mum says we can go back next year, and play on the pier again, and run around on the beach and in the camp and have fun. But for now we have to live in our house and sleep on the comfy beds and make the best of walks and the park. Which is okay because I still love the Mum and the Dad and the rest of the dogs here and we have fun and eat good food and yum treats.

Maybe we could get a steel drum and do some drum circles in the back yard and call the calm and peace of the forests of Lake Tahoe to visit us here, too.

Yeap I did! It was kinda hot this time, and I didn’t like it as much as times before. We were inside in a building but even the Mum was sweating, and I was even panting, and I don’t really pant very much usually.

Here is one of my videos. The Mum still says I need to run, but why run when there’s no tuna or livers to run towards?

The Mum is going to read some apidexin reviews to see if maybe I need to lose weight to run faster, but I don’t think so! I just want to run towards tunas or livers and that’d be better!

Here is another fun pictures of me doing agility. Isn’t it just way cool? This is me on the A-Frame. I like the A-Frame it’s one of my most favorite obstacles. Sometimes if I don’t get a good fast running start, though, I will go around it instead of up. It’s really steep and I have to get going super fast for me to make it all the way up. And I know if I’m not going fast enough and so I go around instead. The Mum says it’s better for me to be safe and not go up if I think I can’t make it.

I haven’t done too much agility with the Mum lately as she hasn’t been feeling very good this last weekend. But I do hope we can do some this coming weekend and have some fun at the agility yard. Maybe she needs a herstyler flat iron to help her be more happy, though since I don’t really know what that is, maybe not either, but it’s a hooman thing so who knows what makes hoomans happy sometimes?

Yup, this is my in a tunnel! The was a really nice photographer at the agility trial last time I was there and he took some fun pictures. Aren’t I cute in the tunnel? I like agility, it’s really fun. The Mum is still trying to get me to run, though, and I’m not so sure about the running part. Doesn’t agility just mean to trot and do things around the course? I think so for sure. Maybe I can ring the incredible s bell too as part of the course. That could be a fun new thing to do.

It’s finally warming up here in Utah and I get to play in the yard on the grass with Jet and do fence patrol and bark at the neighbors. That’s super fun but the Mum and the Dad say that the neighbors don’t like it very much and so I don’t get to do it for very long. But playing is fun and it’s nice to lay in the sun when it’s warm outside.

The Mum is doing this Weave Poll Challenge thing with me and Jet and it’s kinda fun. Though I haven’t done stuff with the Mum in the yard for a while so didn’t want to follow her around unless she had good treats! So she got out some livers for me and then following her was okay. She cut all that part out of the video though and this only shows me doing the weaving stuff. I think she should have left it all in because she is funny when she has to show me all the treats before I’ll follow her!

Look how good I’m doing! The Mum was happy, and I did it with the Mum in all sorts of different places. We get to do another agility trial in a couple of weeks that should be fun again too, and so the Mum is making us practice so that we’ll do good! I don’t think we’ll need any xanax detox afterwards either, because we don’t get addicted to livers but then again they sure are yummy. The livers!
