The Mum took good pictures of me at the flyball tournament! This is of my and my brother Chase. He is the only one that knows how to play flyball right now. Well, Muffit knows, but Muffit is too busy trying to say hi to all the other dogs than to play flyball. And I kinda understand because I like playing with the other dogs too! No matter where we are, on commercial real estate, in parks, the yard, or training!
But the Mum has been pretty interesting lately. She has yummy treats, and she likes it when I do fun stuff and wag my tail in the air.
We both have our cool coats on here, too. They are cool cool coats! We like them, they keep us nice and cool in the hot sun. And they look sharp don’t they!
Look at my way cool fancy schmancy cool coat! This is me when we went to the flyball tournament last weekend. I like my coat, I think I’m super pretty in it. The mum hasn’t been letting me use the laptop to post my fun picture of me!
The Mum says she tried to get a pink cool coat for me but they didnt’ come in pink. That’s okay, I guess. The blue sure is pretty. My brother Chase also has a blue one. And I got to wear this fancy bandana too, don’t you liken it? It’s colorful isn’t it!
I had fun at the flyball tournament and got to run around a bit and the Mum got the dumbbell out and we played with that some. And a silly toy that is kinda dumbbell, kinda tennis ball, and she moved it around silly and clicked and treated! So it was all good.
It was kinda hot, though, and the Mum said that collies don’t do too well in the heat. But it was nice weather with sunshine and a bit of wind and lots of other dogs!
This is another friend from our flyball team and is name is Ralph! He is a fast boy and the Mum says he’s like a cattle dog or something. Maybe he’s a mix! I like him and like to watch him running over the jumps and stuff. And if the Mum ever gets over her sicky bugs then maybe she will teach me how to do the box part of flyball!
If we are lucky the Mum and Chase and Me will be able to go to flyball next weekend. Maybe some peoples will be having gay vacations there too. Which would be fun! I love vacations! I don’t like hooman only vacations that I don’t get to go to, though. Those are not any fun. Dog vacations are better!
So the Mum is still sleeping lots but she says she feels better today and she says thanks for all the good healthy wishes!
This is my friend Oreo! Since the Mum didn’t take any good pictures of me over the last flyball weekend, ya’ll will just have to see pictures of the other dogs. And although Oreo isn’t as cute as me, he’s a border collie and he’s fun to hang out with even though my brother Chase hates him and wishes he had mesothelioma. I like Oreo and I like to play with him!
Since the Mum is still sick with the icky Mono thing she says we don’t get to go out at all this weekend. So that’s icky and stupid. We are going to miss our agility class tonight and I love to go! Though the Mum says I’m a little advanced for what we are doing there… which of course we all know is true because I’m a super smart collie girl and can do anything better than any other dog for sure.
But I do love the Mum and I give her head rubs and sniffs and I hope she gets better soon. Anyway I’m going to do this fun flyball stuff too though the Mum has to teach me how to do the box turn that is the hardest part. Oh, but actually the hardest part is running around and NOT playing with the other dogs. That’s gonna be tough for me!
We get to go for a drive again! The Mum says it’s going to take a whole day to get there, so lots of sleeping for me. It’s in Pahrump, Nevada, wherever that is. It’s not some Orlando vacations but it’s for flyball and it should be fun.
Me, my brother Chase, and my border collie friend Oreo are all going down together. Oreo’s hoomans can’t go so he gets to go with us! Chase hates him though, but I love Oreo! And so does the Mum.
And then on the way home we get to bring Hope and Dylan with us too! So we’ll have a big packed van on the way home. Hope and Dylan’s hoomans are going to Arizona after, and they get to come back up here.
The Mum says we’ll have fun and maybe I’ll be able to race sometime. But I just get excited at all the other dogs and forget about the jumps!
So here is a fun picture of me chewing a pig ear! I love pig ears. I like to roll on them too!
Hey so we went to flyball practice yesterday and it was fun. The Mum said that I’m doing so good over the jumps! I kinda know how to hop over the prop and back and the Mum has a flyball box again so she is going to show me how to do that part and so I can do the whole thing! Though I am not too good at catching balls… I guess I’ll have to practice that a little bit. I’m much better at being cute and eating pig ears!
We got to play again in the area that has PVC fence around it so we didn’t run out and get lost. And that was fun. I ran and ran and ran and bunny hopped too, and then got home and had a good nap because it made me tired!
The Mum says once the sun is up more at night than in the morning (I don’t know what that means, isn’t the sun always up the same time?) that we can go practice agility every week. Yay!
This is a picture of me and my brother Chase from when we went to the flyball tournament last weekend. It was a lot of fun but the Mum doesn’t get my treats that I really like. Yeah, I’m kinda picky for sure! But I like the treats I like and new ones just are too weird when I’m in a stressful or different situation! So the Mum was looking around online to find treats, and she found Dog Toy Coupons instead, which isn’t too bad but I don’t really play with toys all that much. I want treats!
So she found a place called Savings.com that has lots of cool coupons, even Big Dogs Coupons which are fun because I’m a big dog! Though the Mum says I’m not as big a dog as some other dogs. That maybe I’m even a small collie girl but still I’m bigger than some other dogs so I think I’m a big dog too!
So the last place she found for the coupons was for Entirely Pets Coupons and they have treats! So I told the Mum you better go and buy treats because I like them best of all and them maybe I won’t hide in the tunnels or run off at the flyball tournament to find good treats. Wooo I like treats!
Okay so way cool don’t you think, that I actually did flyball! The Mum said that I didn’t do a very good job, because I went over just one jump then I bunny hopped off the lanes and went “Woo Hoo” and ran to our crating area. But hey I did one whole jump and it made me super tired! And so then at the hotel the Mum took this cheesy picture with her phone and it’s not very good, but it does look pretty cute of me doesn’t it!
The Mum has a little video of me doing the one jump and then running off like I like to do. And hopefully if the Mum gets off her hooman bottom she’ll post it up so you can all see. It’s fun but short you have to watch for me quick!
I had fun at Flyball. It was fun to go down with Marley and back with Dylan and spend time with Aunt Christy, the Mum, and my brother Chase. He did super good my brother, though he got tired too. There was one time when I got to run around in the horse area with Oreo my Border Collie friend and Kibu my something friend and we had fun but the Mum didn’t take any pictures of that either! She’s slackin’!
Yay we get to go on a road trip this weekend! I’m excited. Me and Chase get to go. Muffit doesn’t… the Mum says Muffit needs to learn how to relax and she doesn’t have enough time for him when we are on the road. I don’t take as much time, I’m easy peasy!
It’s our first flyball fun place in months and months! I’m excited. I love to come with and play with Chase. Plus, we get to bring Marley with us down in the van! Woot that’ll be fun. And we’ll get to stay with her and Dylan and their Mum Christy in the hotel! Chase isn’t too excited about that, he’s not too excited about other dogs, but I am! I love dogs and I love to play and play. And even if they don’t want to play and play I still like them anyway!
So I probably won’t blog until I get back next week, if I’m not too tired!
So the Mum got this new weird thing from a place called Running is Cleaning or something and she wants me and Muffit to do something with it (not at the same time) but I’m not sure exactly what she wants me to do.
Lick It?
So I figured out that it has yummy stuff that comes out if I lick it but the Mum kept wiggling it and so I tried to bite at it but she wiggled it some more! Eventually the Mum was wiggling it so much that I got a grip of it with my back teeth and I squeezed… and guess what?! Lots of yummy stuff came out! But then I thought Cool so I licked it some more!
Bite it?
So I grabbed it with my front teeth too but that didn’t do much good to get the treats out, so I kinda figured out that if I scruntch it with my back teeth like I’m some big tough moving trucks then I can get more stuff out!
But I still thought it was more efficient to lick the yummy stuff off once I squished some out!
So Like I said I still don’t know quite what the Mum wants me to do with this but if I squish it with my back teeth then lick it that seems to work pretty good! I hope the Mum gets this yummy thing out again so we can play with it some more! I like eating treats out of stuff!
Then the Mum had me go over and back over the jump thingy too that is supposed to be for flyball and that was fun, then I rubbed my head in her and played with Muffit some now it’s time for a nap!
