Almost summer now

It's starting to get pretty warm around here! Watch out Cal, we have not forgotten our bet. The spring flowers are already fading, and the grass is growing very fast. Mom's not happy about that.

Damage control

There was toilet paper available to chew up today. But for some reason, it tasted like cayenne pepper. I prefer the plain kind.

So instead, I got down the box off my mom's dresser. It has lots of nice things in it. I chewed up some clickers, a pen, a tube of lipstick, and some car keys with the electronic thingie on them. I like the car very much and I like the car keys too. I don't know why I destroyed them. I guess I just miss mom when she's at work.

Now she's talking about x-pens again.


The evidence 

Rude dogs and their people

Tonight we went to the park just before dusk. It's nice there then. Usually it is pretty empty and we can practice our heeling in peace and quiet.

Last night though, there was a lady there with three dogs. All of them were off-leash. This is not a dog park. Dogs have to be on leash at all times. I'm on leash.

The lady told mom, as her dogs were running up to our car that her dogs were "friendly". I don't think "friendly" means what the lady thought it meant, because the dogs started barking and growling at mom. Mom shut the car door so we were safe, but she was outside still.

The lady never said anything, not "I'm sorry", or, even better "I'm sorry I'm a stupid idiot and my dogs are aggressive after all and I should never have been allowed to have them if the world was just", or something to that effect.

She also didn't clean up after her dogs, we saw the whole thing.

Oh, and here's another photo of the doglet:

Zowie! we got the zoomies

We got the zoomies.

Last night Jewel got fatally happy and she started zooming around the room, with her ears back, eyes bugged out, and bottom tucked under. This happens to me all the time. When I saw this, I joined in, and then we had to take a time out because mom was worried about the big glass door.

Later we worked on straight fronts. I do not like to sit straight, nor do I like to get as close as mom wants. We also played the "sit or down" game, and did some go arounds on both sides.

Jewel says she worked on sit for attention, down for a treat, go to the target plate where there are treats, and touch the hand that is also holding a treat.

Mike got to be brushed.

Agility is so cool

Monday night we went to our agility lesson. Mom's getting a little worried that we never have time to work on contacts or weave poles. I don't care, 'cause I like to jump.

It was raining and a little muddy which just makes it even better.

Jewel came with, and she almost got run down by us when she ran in the way. I think she needs to learn some manners.

Here's what we did:
