Community Companion Dog part 1

I have had busy weekend at the dog trials. On Saturday I was in a trial where there were lots of kids playing soccer while I was in the ring. At one point I had to wait for 20 seconds while they moved a couple of kids away from the fence because the ball was distracting me. Well they were right, I got too interested in the game and lay down in the Recall and blew my first attempt at a trial.

Next day we were in another trial, and this time I passed. The picture shows me in the middle of the Recall where I have to run to Keith as quickly as I can. I am in mid-air in the photo, showing how fast I can run.

After the trial I was given a ribbon and a certificate. I need 2 more certificates to get the letters CCD after my name. Not bad at 14 months, Keith took 20 years to get letters after his name!

Port Pirie

Here we are at Port Pirie for the dog trials. We stopped at Port Wakefield for a loo break on the way up yesterday, then came here in time to meet up with Freki, so there have been the three of us having a ball so far. We went for a walk across the causeway for about an hour, then came home, got fed then we collapsed while the humans had their food. Tomorrow we are back at the trial for the morning then we go exploring again.

Bert has to go home when we get back, so we are making the most of our time together.

Bert is Back

Bert has come to stay for 3 weeks! I missed Scruff when he had to go, but now Bert is here I have another live-in playmate. We are playing Tug in the picture. We have toys all over the house so where ever we go there is a toy to play with. Kathy keeps spoiling the fun by picking them up and putting them in the box, but we just spread them out again as soon as she is not looking.
I am learning how to do agility weaving poles using the 2 X 2 method. This means that I occasionally run through some poles stuck in the ground and Keith gets excited and throws a ball for me. It does not take much to entertain the humans.
