Tatum Tot Spice

In the trailer, I just wanted to wear my tiara, and Chase and Muffit wanted to play. And even though Chase looks kinda mean here, he is just being a dork. He plays with all his teeth out! And Muffit, as you can see, is a little bit thinking Chase is a dork, too.

Chase kinda tilted my tiara a little bit… which made me mad, but the Mum fixed it for me. Which is good ’cause I don’t want it to fall off. And we played in the trailer ’cause we didn’t have a xbox 360 to fool with.. we just had each other, and no TV either!

The Mum watched a show on the TV that she called Bones last night.. though I didn’t see any chew bones on it, just dogs barking! And every time they barked, I barked too, ’cause I thought they were gonna come out of the TV and get me! And I had to bark at them to make them go away. The Mum said it was a show that had a lot of things about dogs that aren’t really real, but it did have a good message that people who get dogs need to keep them for ever and ever, even if they get big and they didn’t expect it!

Yup we loves flyball! We are goin’ again this weekend. We are leaving tomorrow. Headed in my new minivan down to St. George.

So while I’m there, maybe I’ll put in some Los Angeles resumes so that I can move to LA! But Utah is kinda nice here. and my brother Chase and me can play flyball!

So I will see ya’ll next week! No internet where we are going this time!

So last weekend the Dad went outside and the Mum came with, and even us dogs got to come out too! Though we had to help from behind the xpen and we gave advice. The Dad says he worries that everyone in the neighborhood can see there are six of us, because there are only supposed to be three of us, but oh well, the Mum doesn’t care!

So we built this thing the Mum calls a crate platform to go in the back of my new minivan. It sure is nice to have the Mum and the Dad build stuff for my new car!

So here it is in the minivan. Though the Mum and Dad haven’t finished painting it yet… they really better get going on that so that me, Chase, Muffit and the Mum can all go to flyball this weekend!

We are going to bring Oreo, too! He is my boyfriend and I love him! He is a very handsome border collie. He gets a bit too excited for other dogs sometimes, but not for me! I love to play with him! And besides, he thinks I’m very pretty! So I don’t need to know how to lose weight, because he thinks I’m nice the way I am.

We had a fun trip! The Mum wasn’t going to take me… well, she was at first, then she wasn’t, then she was again! Yay! I’m glad she did because I have lots of fun and I make her happy, because I’m just so happy, I make everyone happy!

I even made the birthday girl happy! It was Echo’s birthday, she’s a Belgian Malinois and she had a birthday. So they passed out birthday hats and the Mum put one on me. Well, I wasn’t too crazy about the birthday hat, because it felt funny, but after I had it on and the Mum gave me lots of treats it wasn’t so bad so I let it stay on. Plus, I was pretty darn cute in it, don’t you think?

Though the hat wasn’t quite pink enough, it still had a little bit of pink on it. And Echo had a really pretty pink dress! You can see it in one of the next pictures down. It’s so pretty. And the Tiara was pretty, soo. The Mum said I’m so much like a princess that I really should have my own tiara, so maybe I’ll get one for this Christmas!

You know.. it’s almost been a year since I came to live here in Utah from Houston. And the Mum says I’ll get a Gotcha Day Pizza! I can’t wait!

And there was a really pretty river called the Snake River (icky name!) that ran by our camp ground. We had to drive to it, but once we got there, it was nice. Chase really wanted to chase the ducks, but he got to swim after an old icky flip flop so he was happy about that. And I wanted to sleep on some crib bedding after ’cause I was tired! Have you ever seen crib bedding? It’s super soft and super nice and you might want to check it out! Especially since these guys have such fun colors to chose from! And great quality too!

And see here, this is me sleeping in the trailer. It’s only the second time I ever slept in our trailer. It pops up so the Mum calls it a pop up. We went camping in it once before and had a really fun time. This time the Mum put an xpen around it so we couldn’t get out. But I’m smart, and I figured out how to push it open when the Mum and aunt Marie didn’t latch it, and I’d run out and go ‘Woo Hoo!’ and hop like a bunny ’cause I was free! But it was fun in the trailer too.

So the above picture is of the birthday party and you can see Echo in her pretty dress! She is such a pretty Malinois, I like Malinois and I love to play with them and I wish I could play with more of them! And there were lots of dogs at her party and they all looked like so much fun to play with!

And then this picture above is when we were at the campground in the trailer. Not only were Levi and Chase with, but also Twist and Rogue! I love them and wish they would play with me! But Twist wanted to play with Chase, and Chase doesn’t like to play with anyone except me and Muffit. So the Mum had to watch to make sure Chase didn’t show too many teeth to Twist. But they are fun shelties and I like to play with them!

So that’s all I have to say about our trip! Levi didn’t get any Qs and Chase got one but the Mum said Chase didn’t do good enough so she pulled him from Saturday and Sunday. Rogue didn’t get any Qs either (she didn’t enter like me!) but Twist got two Qs! He won the whole weekend he did such a good job. Yay Twist!

I got back from our flyball trip to Laramie, Wyoming today. It was a fun trip. I went with the Mum, Muffit, Chase, the nail-trimming flyball captain lady (who isn’t too evil really) and her Jack Russel Terrier, Chase Me. He was cute and I wanted to play with him. I kept play bowing in the hotel but he didn’t want to play! He is weird! And I did bite the lady on the but and that was fun and we all laughed!

This first picture is of me being really pretty outside. My Aunt Mimi from Colorado, she took some pictures of me. She has a new baby puppy too, a little aussie girl named Cue, and I wanted to play with her too! I will see about posting some of her pictures too. She is puppy baby so didn’t need adult diaper, but she could have used puppy ones!

The flyball tournament was loud and noisy too. But we were inside and this picture on the right is me in my crate that was on top of my brother Chase’s crate. Chase is the only one who knows how to do flyball yet. Me and Muffit don’t, but we are gonna learn and have fun and run around and hop like bunnies! Well okay maybe just I hop like a bunny but it’s fun anyway.

Then this picture to the left is of me in front of the flyball racing lanes. There were lots of dogs barking and making noise and loud sounds behind me so I wanted to keep my ears back to listen to them instead of pose for the camera. But usually I like to pose for the camera.

We had fun though… out back of the hotel there was this really big field and the Mum let me and Muffit off the leashes! Chase always gets off the leashes, but me and Muffit kinda get distracted so she likes to keep us close. But we got to play with Kibu, a fun black dog on our flyball team. And run around and run around in the weeds. And there was this super fun stream back there too, and we all went and splashed in the water! The Mum said YUCK when we came out because… well, my front legs were covered with back goo. We laughed! But then we didn’t laugh when we had to have a bath when we got home. Yuck! The Mum said we stank!

It was a long drive home, about six hours, and we slept. I pushed Muffit and Chase out of the way in the back seat of the car and got most of the room myself, since that is how collie girls are supposed to be. And border collie boys are just supposed to let us. So they did.

And this last picture is of me sleeping… though I’m kinda giving the Mum the evil eye ’cause she is snapping a picture instead of letting me sleep. I like to sleep in the afternoons. But not in the mornings. I got the Mum and the nail-trimming lady up nice and early this morning, with nice big yaps and plays!

But now I’m tired and I’m going to go to sleep. If you want to know more about the tournament you’ll have to check out my Mum’s blog, Tip Tail, tomorrow. ‘Cause we are all tired and going to bed. Good Night!

Woo Hoo! I get to go on another trip today! I’m excited! The Mum is taking me, Muffit and Chase to a placed called Laramie Wyoming. I don’t know where it is, but Chase gets to do flyball there. The Mum says we have to sit nice in the car for about six hours before we get there. And we don’t get to leave until this afternoon… so I’m gonna nap at home while the Mum does some work then comes home to get us again.

Our car has got a ton of stuff on it because not many people are going, and our car is one of the only ones that can carry the boxes and crates and stuff. But the Mum says not to worry, because even if we have to go a bit slow, we will get there and we will have fun.

It’ll be Muffit’s first trip to stay in a hotel. I sure hope he lets us all sleep! We get to stay with the evil-nail trimming lady and her Jack Russel Terrier Chase Me. I like Chase Me! I hope the lady doesn’t want to trim our toes, though! Yuck! If she does, I’ll try to give her mesothelioma!

The Mum took me and Chase on another trip for Chase to do flyball. It was fun… and really hot. The Mum said it got up to 103 degrees outside. We were inside so we were okay, but the Mum got nervous a bit and was pouring water on both me and Chase and YUCK that part sucked! But then it did feel kinda good because I perked up my tail after I got wet and the breeze in my wet coat wasn’t so bad.

I also got a couple of massages from a really nice lady. And whenever the Mum and I walked by her place I ran over and stood on her mat. Because mats are cool and her’s was comfy and she was a really nice lady. I liked her massages though I didn’t want to really let her know too much because I’m juts that way.

This picture is of me sleeping in the hotel room. The hotel room was nice and cool and comfy. We went to St. George Utah and Chase got another flyball title, called his Top Flight Executive. The Mum says I can do flyball one day when I learn not to run around and play with the other dogs and don’t have the zoomies so much… but what fun is that?

The Mum took me and Chase to Colorado just a couple of weeks ago… it was fun, but scary… but fun too! I got to meet Kiwi and Cor and play with them… ’round and ’round we chased each other they are super nice. They are both Australian Shepherds and very friendly and fun! The Mum didn’t get any pictures of them, though. She shoulda!

We got to walk around a nature park and see lots of ground hogs as they were warning each other about us scary dogs.. and Chase got to swim in the water. I didn’t want to swim, so I played with Kiwi, but then I got kinda nervous and really wanted to find my crate. And so I left.. and the Mum came with me but I didn’t really want to go to her… I like her, but sometimes I get in a mode where I just want to hide and I don’t want to be around any humans at all. So I went looking for my crate, and the Mum said I went right through the agility ring! But Ringo was running, a springer friend of mine, so that was okay. And then I followed the Mum to my crate and I felt lots better.

The Mum says I still get stressed and I kinda shut down… and that’s when I want to make Lucy and Angel know I’m boss, too. I guess I take it out on them, but the Mum says she’s gonna teach me how to deal with my stress in other ways. And hopefully it’ll go away completely someday!
