Hi everyone!
I have a few things to report:
So, today's my sister's 1st year birthday...big whup! She got to go to PetSmart today---so here are a few pictures of her field trip.

She couldn't decide between toys and treats...Hmphff! I would have gone for the treats! She was somewhat overwhelmed with the smells of the place, all the toys and all the treats. Silly girl!
I went to an agility trial this weekend...with mom and Wendy and Cheetah. My first move when we checked in was to hide under the bed frog legged. She wouldn't stop taking pictures of me so later I stayed all the way under the bed. Here's a poor quality picture taken with Mom's phone:
The first day they tried to trick me by leaving me in the hotel room but I KNEW it was an agility trial--I know what luggage and junk mom packs that means: Agility Trial! They didn't fool me at all--but I guess I was lucky as the humans complained about how hot it was and I stayed in the AC most all the day.
My friends Sully, Parker and Sassy were competing too---Parker got a 2nd place ribbon!
Mom took a picture of a thing called a Pay Phone---she thought this picture was funny--something about the sign...and the booth. I don't get it...there is NO phone! Humans are weird! I am calling this Signs of the Times:
Bigger News:
Cheetah got her Mach 2--much excitement was generated about this event...and I must say I am really glad because I was getting tired of people talking about it! I don't know why the humans get so excited about these things...so boring! Cheetah looked happy--and she got lots of treats and a toy. They also had cake--but Cheetah and I got none! Then Deva got her MACH 3 and there was more cake...still, we dogs got nothin'!
Saturday I ran--but didn't have too much fun. I didn't make time in Jumpers and Mom only ran a few obstacles in Standard (that was good). I have to keep the humans guessing.
Sunday for some reason I felt like running and I had a great run in Standard--at least that is what Mom said--she was VERY happy and I was 11 seconds under time--so she got one of those coveted (and far too often talked about) Q's and a 2nd place ribbon.
Here is a part of my run--mom's camera ran out of space. Wendy was in the other building where she and Cheetah were busy Q-ing in their first Time2Beat class...all my other runs (er...walks) are on her camera.

I will admit that I thought the course was poorly designed for a reluctant agility dog...there was a pinwheel at the end!!! Don't judges know that I can tell if a course is fun or not? No place for me to open up--no straight line to see---but I actually enjoyed it because I CAN count and knew it was the end...but mom didn't get that part on camera...a true historical moment as I HATE pinwheels!!! People--going in circles is NOT fun!!!
Here's a picture of us getting ready to leave---I decided to take a little "rest."
Overall, it was an OK weekend. I got LOTS of treats and I didn't have to see my sister for 3 days!! Can't really complain...well, yeah--I can and will--that's what this blog is all about! Right?
Later Peeps!
