It's Been Awhile

These are photos from this past work week. Monty and Gemma being silly...
...I joined in the fun...
And here I am at Seward Park showing Ollie how to jump over logs!

Being a working dog is much harder than it may first appear. There are dogs to walk, balls to chase, and blogs to write. I have two blogs these days -- this one and my wagsnwords blog. My paws are tired from all the writing!

I had a great day today. A morning play date with Ginger to start, but soon we were joined by Desi and Quillette. Quillette and her mom, Jessica are staying with us while Jessica's pack (her parents) come to visit. Last night I got to sleep on the spare bed with Jessica and Quillette. It was very, very nice. I had lots of good dreams and only farted a few times. Perhaps Momma G can take pictures tonight -- of me and Jessica, not the farts =-)

After the play date, we went for a walk and ended up playing more fetch at the big field, which was muddy, muddy, muddy from all the rain. I should have seen it coming, but when we got home, I got a bath. I'm not that fond of baths, but I turned the tables on Momma G by racing to the backyard when they decided to plant the vegetable garden. Nothing like getting dirty again right after bathing!

We all took a nap in the middle of the day and I have to say, that's one of the best parts of Sundays -- the warm, cozy nap with my moms. After the nap, Momma G and I played some new games. I'm taking a class in agility again and they have all these lessons they want us to learn only they aren't really lessons -- their more like games. Plus, I get treats when I do them right!

The first game is learning how to walk on a slab of moving cardboard. Well, it doesn't move, actually, it kind of rocks back and forth and I have to step on it, sit on it, and then lie down on it, which I modestly admit, took me about 5 minutes to learn. The next game took a bit longer. It involved me getting inside this new "house" or hut. It smells suspiciously like a kennel, but treats are scattered all over it and I get even more treats when I go in and lay down. Whatever.

Lastly, we get to play tug. I think this is supposed to be my reward for completing all the lessons. I really don't care what it is because tug is one of my favorite games of all time.

There was rain predicted today and while we've had some, it's pretty beautiful and sunny out there right now so I think we're heading out the door for a walk -- all three of us. How fun is that?

I'll try to do better keeping up with this blog, but make sure to check out my weekly work blog at wagsnwords!
