Gracie went to agility practice without me!
2007-08-16 14:48:00 Since I've had a couple of weeks off from training and agility to rest up from the car accident bruises, Mum took Gracie to an open practice at Pawsitive Partners Dog Agility Training Center. And I didn't get to go! What!!!! Mum wanted to get Gracie in a building and work on her focus, contacts and weaves, since our next USDAA trial is this weekend in an air conditioned building, and the More About: Practice , Went
Dog dentist!
2007-08-16 13:55:00 We had a big day yesterday. Mum took me to the doggie dentist, yikes! After the car accident, our primary vet noticed that I had a chipped primary molar, and we weren't sure if it happened in the accident or not. So Mum wanted to have it checked out. We spent over 1.5 hours with the dentist and dentist technician and learned loads about canine teeth. Mum says she knows more about dog teeth, More About: Dentist
Beach bike!
2007-08-16 13:36:00 Mum loves the beach and after doing beach agility not too long ago at a trial, I kind of like all the sand too! And the surf, and the water. All sounds really fun. Unlike most shelties, I kind of like the water. I get in the pool on a hot day, don't mind the rain, and love to go wading in Note: This is a sponsored post.the river when Mum and I go canoing, and I run loads faster in agility when More About: Beach , Bike

Thank you TipTail!
2007-08-13 00:00:00 You may remember that I was entered into a contest to help me get Gracie a birthday present. And you may remember that we won! We got the gift certificate in the mail yesterday! Yeah! So Mum and I spent some time on the computer this afternoon, arguing over what to get Gracie. Mum says that Gracie needs treats, I say she needs toys. Gracie probably thinks she needs both! So we compromised and More About: Tail , Hank
We keep going and going?
2007-08-12 14:25:00 Lots of folks ask how we keep going and going and going. Well, Mum says we're kind of like the energizer bunnies. But we're really herding breeds and that's how we are all the time! Always busy! And now that it's so hot, 90 degrees for 16 days straight, Mum is having trouble occupying us. So what does she do? She plays with us, and trains with us, and grooms us and all kinds of stuff to keep us More About: Going , Goin

The interview!
2007-08-11 15:28:00 Oops she did it again! My friend Tish tagged me. But this one is fun (oh, and imaginary too, btw. Well, at least the questions are). This meme originated from Brown Baron at Brown Thoughts. Baron asks, “How would you respond if you were interviewed by another blog right now while you’re still undiscovered?” Undiscovered? Me? Naw!

I'm a schmoozer!
2007-08-11 15:28:00 My good friend, and uber dog lover Tish, at The Kat House has presented me with the Power of Schmooze award! I'm a little late getting to this one Tish, apologies! But here we go... I've seen this award around lately and secretly pined for it. Leave it to Tish to bestow it upon me, licks to you my friend. The award was originally created by my other friend Mike of Ordinary Folk and his friend
A little training!
2007-08-09 03:48:00 When it's really hot out like today at 100 degrees, we get pretty wacko around the house. So just like we do in the dead of Winter, Mum does short little training sessions with us, until what she calls 'fries our brains'. We love it and have a lot of fun. And it kind of wears us out a little and keeps us occupied during the day. So we thought we'd share a couple of sessions with ya! Enjoy and More About: Training , Litt , TRAI , Raining
Halloween?
2007-08-07 22:13:00 Halloween, believe it or not is just around the corner. Really! I'm not much of a movie watcher, but my sis Gracie loves watching TV. Her favs are always movies and shows that have other dogs in them. They make her go nuts, barking and running around the house. Cujo, got her hiding under the covers! Scared the beegeebees out of her. Coming up on August 31st is a new version of Halloween - The More About: Halloween , Ween , Allo
Keeping cool and keeping safe!
2007-08-07 14:26:00 Well it's hot!!!! The forecast for this week calls for all 90's and humid, which means it's gonna feel like it's in the 100's. Way too hot for us pups to be out and playing. No agility for me this week! There has been so much talk about dogs left in cars. Seems like it never goes away. So we created a new Squidoo lens to help bring awareness, education and encourage folks to spread the word More About: Cool , Safe
A breeze!
2007-08-07 14:25:00 With all this 90's this week and all the hot air floating around (even beyond Gracie's hot air, BOL!), we're finding all kinds of ways to keep cool. Playing out in the yard early, early in the morning and late in the evening, gettin' in the doggie pool, drinking lots of water, taking advantage of the sprinkler when Mum waters and coming inside when it gets too hot. Even when we're inside, it More About: Breeze
Dog agility! Yeah!
2007-08-07 13:08:00 Many of you know that I just love dog agility! Not only is it a great sport, but I get to spend loads of time with my Mum and Gracie, running around and having fun. And we get to meet new people and other pups. One of my favorite things about the sport is the jumping. I could jump, forever!!!! One of my vets once said that I was built like a deer and especially built for jumping. And with More About: Agility , Yeah
Thanks Dogster and Shutterfly!
2007-08-06 13:19:00 A year or so ago, Mum made Gracie, me, and my kittie brothers, Wolfie and Wiggy, Dogster and Catster pages. If you're not familiar with Dogster, it's kind of like a MySpace for dogs. Recently Dogster and Shutterfly teamed up to offer all Dogster members a free photo book from Shutterfly. So Mum was on it, and ordered one. Shutterfly is kind of cool, you upload your photos, then you can create More About: Hank
Back from the trial!
2007-08-06 12:34:00 We're back from the trail this weekend. I have to say that I wasn't up to my best, fur sure. It was hot, it was muggy, it rained a bit, the sun came out..I ran all my runs on Saturday - standard, snooker, gamblers, and steeplechase. We Q'd in snooker, despite the fact that we didn't make it through the last 7 (ran out of time). I was over time in standard by a second, and steeplechase by a few More About: Trial , Back

Back from my chiro adjustment!
More articles from this author:2007-08-02 22:55:00 Just got back a bit ago from my chiro adjustment. Mum had to put me in that dang car again and I didn't want to. Took a little coaxing with some treats and reassuring words from Mum and I finally gave in. We headed north to Pendleton where our dear friend and super vet is. Pets and Vets is the place. It was kind of a knuckle whitening experience for Mum driving on the interstate again, but like More About: Back , Adjustment 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
