Some Of My Family

This picture has me (I’m the smooth sable collie if you didn’t know!), my brother Levi and my sister Lucy, who are smooth blue collies. And my brother Jet who is the Danish/Swedish Farmdog. Dang he has a long name! Collie is much shorter!

We were running in the yard and the Mum made us all lay down and do a stay so she could take the picture. We did good but then we didn’t get treats. The Mum says we don’t always get treats… bleh. I think we should! If we get the wrong treats though we might need the http://www.blackheadremoval.org website! But we like treats anyway they are yummy!

Not much has been going on at our house lately. The Mum is taking some time off of dog training this week. Well, except for Levi who gets to go out twice a day, every day, to work on his dumbbell. He’s going to be in an obedience trial in August and the Mum wants him to do a good job. The Mum has been kinda busy. But we keep ourselves busy anyway, playing and barking and running around the house. And eating and chewing and just having lots of fun!

This picture is of my when I was doing agility practice last week. This is called the Dog Walk It. And I went over it, and the Mum said it’s a full sized one and some dogs might be afraid of it because it’s so high, but I wasn’t afraid! I really like it, it was a lot of fun! I have to remember all the stuff I am learning. If I can’t remember, I could buy memory to help me remember! But I’m smart, so I probably won’t need to.

I want to do more agilities!

Today the Mum took me, Chase and Muffit to a park where we got to bark. I didn’t bark much, though. She said it was a get together thing called Bark in the Park. Muffit barked a lot! Chase barked a little. And I barked some too when we were all in our crates in our shade tent and people walked by. ‘Cause when Muffit and Chase bark I have to bark too, I can’t let them bark more than me!

There were lots of fun dogs there, and a pond where Chase got to go swimming. I don’t really like to swim, I just like to wade, so the Mum had me wait in the crate while Chase got to swim.

The Mum tried to get me to stay in one spot for pictures, but I like to move. She says someday soon I’ll learn that staying is the best, and I’ll get treats for it… but now I kinda get a little nervous still and so I wiggle and stand up and move. And there was no mat for me to sit on and so I didn’t know where I should stay.

But in these pictures you can see the tents behind me and all the people. There were lots of people with treats too, and me, Muffit and Chase got to run around a little bit, but not too much. Chase got to do flyball and he got to do obedience work with the Mum. I got to walk around and eat treats, and Muffit got to walk around too, and the Mum tried to get Muffit to watch her instead of everything going on. But he likes to watch everything going on. But he gets really nervous about it so the Mum says it would be better if he watched her instead.

Anyway, it was a fun day and it’s nap time, now, ’cause I’m tired! It took the Mum a long time to pack up all our crates and the tent and gear and stuff. She needs some custom boxes to load everything in to put it in the car. Us three got to wait and bark in the car while she was packing, that was fun too!
