I'm Tired Today!

ooo the Mum is a silly Mum. Today the Mum took me to a place called a Dog Training Place called Willow in the Creek. I didn’t see any willows or any creeks but I did see some other dogs and I got to go through a tunnel!

Me and the Mum are having a bit of a disagreement lately. The Mum thinks that I should do things that she wants me to do, when she wants me to do them. Well, I’d rather do what I want to do, when I want to do them!  So today we argued a little bit and.. well, I didn’t really win but I did get to hide in the tunnel and not come out!

There is this grassy place with a fence around and fun agility stuff inside. And the Mum wants me to go over a jump and then get a treat. That’s okay but I’d rather do it how I want to do it. And I’d rather run around and around the place first before I come and get the treat. And the Mum says well… she sometimes takes me by the collar because I’m being a bit stubborn!  And so she brings me to the jump, then I have to touch her hand with my paw, then I get a click and a treat, then I do the jump! Then I get a treat on a plate, then I do another jump and get another treat but I have to sit for it too.

The Mum is making me work so very hard!  I have to do the paw touch and the sit and all that stuff just to get a treat. Hrmph! Well I guess that’s okay ’cause I do love the Mum and it’s fun to go and do stuff, but I do really think I should be boss of it all and not her! But she disagrees. Doesn’t everydog know that smooth sable collie girls are princess and going to be Queens and should get what we want? If I don’t get what I want, I might have to look for motorcycle accident attorneys and slap a lawsuit on the Mum!

So then when the Mum told me to go through the tunnel, after a paw touch and a click, then I ran in as fast as I could and then just stopped and looked out and I laughed and laughed at the Mum and my Aunt Edie!  Bahaaaa!!  I didn’t have to come out!

It made the Mum laugh too and she was rolling on the ground looking at me peeking out of the tunnel.  He he I’m such a smart sneaky collie girl. Then they took the tunnel away, which wasn’t nice of them, so then we tried the teeter totter and I had to do the paw touch first, then I got to go on it and it’s fun too! I think I’m gonna like agilities, as soon as I get the Mum and Aunt Edie trained up so I can do it the way I want to! 

This is my friend Glitter! She is fun to hang out with. She and Chip came to visit us for a week! A whole week of sleepovers!

I like to play with them. Mostly I like to play with Chip but the Mum hasn’t taken any pictures of me and Chip playing yet, though.

I share the couch with Glitter just a little bit. Not too much, ’cause it’s my couch, and my house, and my home theater carpeting, though we don’t have much carpet anymore. Instead we have tile and soft tile and floors because Lucy and Angel don’t know how to potty outside as good anymore. But that’s okay ’cause we love them anyway!

I had a training class today, and I’ll tell you about it later. Right now I’m super tired because the Mum and Aunt Edie made me think really hard. And wanted me to do stuff in a different way and the treats were waaaay over across the room and not in my nose. I want them in my nose! Okay well in my mouth, not really in my nose.
