EXPLORING

I get to go outside in the front yard everyday to explore. I love it! Now that Marley can't go outside unattended, I go by myself and I love it! I get to do what I want when I want. Sometimes I stay gone for hours and Mommy gets upset with me when I won't come in. I hear her calling me but I don't come. I come in when I'm ready!!

COOL WEATHER

I love cool weather. I get to go out in the woods for hours exploring. I come home and get dinner and then go back out again. Now that Marley is doing 'Ruff Love', I get to go by myself. I like it!

Now Marley isn't even allowed in the bedroom...I don't think she should have ever been allowed in the bedroom in the first palce!

WEEKENDS

We have been staying with Grandma and Grandad on the weekends. Mommy took Marley to an obedience/rally trial. Can you believe she qualified 3 out of 4 times?

Then Mommy took her to an AKC Agility trial and Marley got her first title, Jumpers! Just like me! I liked Jumpers when I competed. I'm so glad I don't have to compete anymore! Mommy says me and Missy will get to go next weekend when Marley competes in TN...but just to watch!

TREATS

Missy and I get to eat the treats that Marley doesn't get at class. They are yummy! Liver treats that Mommy makes. Last night, Missy and I got to go with Mommy and Marley to agility. We stayed in the car. We got home and Mommy couldn't find the treats. She left them at Mrs. Linda's. Oh no! I really wanted a liver treat. We got some real big Milk-Bones instead...they were ok.

RETIRED

Mommy finally retired me from USDAA Agility. She entered me in 2 events last weekend in Hattiesburg, MS. I couldn't do it. I tried one jumpers run and did most of it. The next jumpers run I just couldn't do it. I left the ring and was ready to leave. I just get too anxious in the ring. Plus I don't like being in a crate at the trial.

ANTIBIOTICS

I had to go back on antibiotics. I had a 'hot spot' on my neck that got infected. They shaved a spot on my neck. Mommy said it looked gross. I have to take a pill every day...I don't mind because Mommy puts it in a treat and I like treats!

MY BIRTHDAY!!

Today is my 9th Birthday! I got some cards and a new toy. Mommy says we will have cake and ice cream when Grandad and Grandma can come over. That Dog tried to take my new toy...Mommy took it away from her.
