Happy Halloween!

Hi there people! 

I love Halloween! There are spooky sounds, cool air and treats!! Monday night children will come to our house, ring our doorbell and Hasten and I will bark at them and scare them!!! Hee Hee! We are very friendly--just hate doorbells!

We went to a Spooky Agility class last night. We played a version of Gamblers and I ran with my Dad!!! I had such a good time. See my video below--this was my second run--and I was slower in this one than the first one. Dad did a good job handling me, but I was looking for more information sooner.

Dad and my Halloween run

The humans had good food--which we didn't even get to get near--as they put it in the other room! How rude!  The saddest part of all was when mom dressed Hasten and I up in costumes. This is Hasten's first Halloween costume---get used to it sister!

Wendy and JoEllen

Planning the course.

Jeff is our newest Friday night person...he is a good sport!

I'm a little devil!

Dad, Why do we have to do this?

Later, the white stuff that falls out of the air---that mom gets so excited about-- came down last night. There was much ado about this stuff falling early.

I think the snow makes the halloween decorations look interesting!

Lots of tree limbs were breaking...very heavy wet snow!

Neighbor kids sledding--we only got about 3-4 inches
but enough to sled before it melted!


I close this week with comment about my sister. She heads off to an all day seminar tomorrow at AClickAbove and there should be MUCH to report!!!

Here she is with her BELOVED Elk Antlers...I do NOT know what she sees in these things.

Ciao!

This, That and Kimberton Terrier Trials

Greetings everyone!


It has been quite a while since I blogged! I have (and mom ) been VERY busy. It seems she has been doing something called Graduation Applications and a bunch of grading so free time for the computer has been slim.

Rain doesn't bother Hasten and I!

I have much to report. Our walks this past month have been sporadic--mostly because of the rain!!! However, the rain has brought out some very cool fungus!

These were a pretty orange color.

This one was almost as tall as me!

We took our annual trek to Kimberton, PA to see all my peeps!! There were so many Westies there--we looked amazing! Being at an all terrier event was lots of fun. I did come home with 4 ribbons but Mom was most happy about the Double Q on Thursday.

Here's a link of me running but first you will see Ms. Beth and her Parson:

Mom found some really cute Westie babies! I got to see them and I thought they were SO cute as they played! Here's their link:

There were some other highlights:

We saw a very different kind of MACH cake...a gigantic Pretzel! You know you aren't far from Philly---lots of cheese sauce and mustard was there to accompany.

On the way we home we saw this beautiful, colored bird. Mom said it was a Hot Air Balloon!

After 3 days of competition Mom brought me home to compete in our local Weyers Cave trial. I don't know what she is thinking. I rarely like 2 days of a trial let alone 3 and then in the same week I am supposed to do more? 

Mom realized this pretty early and we had a new situation. She had Dad run me!!! It suprised me--but not enough to make me run any faster. Check us out on the link. 

Dad's first competition run!

People---4 days of trialing is 4 days!!! 

On Sunday, I got to go home early... and have the whole yard and house to myself!! 

Finally, I am reporting that my sister, Hasten's running contacts are getting a smidge better---here's her most recent practice video. 

Running Contacts Practice with Hasten

I'm off now to see what might be in our back yard. 

Very Reluctant Agility Dog,
