My new name?

I guess my name changed on Sunday.

I was a very good dog at the Rally trial and I finished my Rally Novice title. So now my name is "Toastin's Puddle Jumper, RN, CGC". You can still call me Splash. We took some photos while we were there. Jewel came too, and she got to see Nell, her mom. Nell told Jewel to behave.

PS: No, "RN" does not mean "Real Nuisance", it means "Rally Novice".


Here we are doing a left turn into the serpentine. Our judge, Mr. Eng (he's nice!) is in the foreground. 


Jewel likes going to the dog show too!

C_C

Last night we went to C Bar C Park. Mom thinks it used to be someone's ranch but now it has a big grassy area, a dog park, and 4 softball fields. We practiced our rally moves a little.

I had a little more fun than on Wednesday, but I was still kind of a putz. Anyway, for the record, here's our log:

Heel, right turn, left turn, left about, right about, 270 right and left, 360 right and left (oooh I'm dizzy), call front - finish left - forward, call front - finish right - forward, moving side step right, schutzhund turn, call front - 1,2,3 steps back, moving down, heel - down - forward.

Boring!


This a poster of ME when I was a little tyke. 

Last night we worked on our Rally moves. I'm so bored by all that stuff. I didn't even want to work for a cookie. Can we just do agility instead? Or maybe flyball? Hunting? Lure coursing?

[Sigh]

PS this all has mom kind of worried because this weekend we have some big thing.
W-h-a-t-e-v-a!

Agility TUESDAYs

Woohoo, now we have agility on Tuesday also! We joined a newly formed beginning group class. Last night we just got to know each other a little and show our teacher what we can do obedience-wise.

There me of course, and an Aussie, a Bernese Mountain Dog named "Zipper" (she's cute!), a Border Terrier named "Chert", a Pembroke Corgie named "Bella" (Bella is a fluffy but we think that just makes her extra cute), and a little Sheltie who is a bit timid. She thought I was kinda big....I AM!

I am in a Rally trial on Saturday and Sunday so tonight we have to practice our moves.

Agility Mondays

Hurray for agility! I got to do some long sequences last night. I also had to do some plank work (two on, two off), and I got to do two totally fun restrained recalls. I just love chasing mom, she is so slow.

Here's what we did:
