First show

Went to my first show yesterday - WOW.  There was so much going off, I got a bit excited on the exercise field, kept hearing my name in the distance but somehow just wasn't able to respond straight away - oh well.  Then we went inside!!! There were so many differant types of dog, I just wanted to say hello to them all at the same time.  Some of them were doing that thing that mum does with the others at the training place, I really hope I get to do that one day.  Mum did some work with me by the ring and I was very good and did everything she asked, I even waited while she walked round, was a bit tempted to chase the dog running round the ring but she was giving me something called liver...............

I did get told off twice yesterday though.  Once when we were on the field and these 2 big black dogs came running over, think they were called poodles.  They were very frightening but I couldn't let them know that, so as soon as they turned around and ran off I chased them and barked at them and it made them go away, I thought I was very clever but mum obviously didn't think so.  Sure I detected a laugh from her though.  The other time I got told off was when I was guarding the water bowl at home, Chase, Phase and Gyp all wanted a drink and I wouldn't let them have one, they are sooo scared of my growl - ha.

I am now officially a grown up!!  I have learnt to cock my leg when I wee, mum says this is very early so I think I am very clever, can't manage it everytime though, will just have to keep practising.

I now have a new bowl - it's a slow feeder one :(.  Kai had to have a new one too as the plastic one he had has rubbed all his nose and it's gone all scabby - mum says if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen to Kai.

My favorite place in the garden now is on the bench.  I can jump up and then climb on the back to smell what next door is cooking, it's ace.  I can also sit on the bench and watch mum through the window while she works, this makes her laugh loads.
Was playing hide and seek with mum the other day, she was looking all over the kitchen and couldn't find me lol, it took her ages to spot me on TOP of my crate and hidden by the breakfast bar.

Storm was a bit quiet on Saturday and I think mum was a bit worried but he's back to his old self today - great! means he'll keep me in check again.  He is definately the boss, I daren't tell him what to do but the others are a pushover and know I'm going to be top dog one day.

I am getting really good at my left and right turns and have started working on sendaways.  I love working. Chase gets a bit miffed that I get loads of attention though, think he was her special boy before I came along.  Right I'm off to do some balance training, mum has put more air in the discs and it's really hard now!!
