Awards!

We have been the recipients of some awards the last few months, and Mom has been saving them in a folder until she had time to properly display them and thank the senders.

We got this one and this one from the TN Bull Terrors.


Travis at Dogszrock, AND, the
NY Bully Brats sent this one

Today, this one came from Life With Dogs.



Thank-you friends, for thinking of us!

Pee-S...If we missed somebody, let us know... It was not intentional. Mom is a little computer challenged, and she might of stored your award someplace stupid, and we will look for it.

Maisie Comes Home.

Maisie got her spay around noon today, and she was doing so well mum left work and brought her home around 7PM. I was very happy to see her even though she was still a little groggy and smells funny. She ate a little bit, had a drink, and went out to "go pee" and, of course, got another of those pee treats. Then we went in our crates so she could sleep and mum went back to work.

Now, here's the part that really bites my butt... Its time to go to bed, and now its pouring rain. Mom says she's gonna open the door to the laundry, and if Maisie pees there she's gonna just pretend she didn't notice.. Guess where I had to go for the before bed pee?? here's a hint - I am soaking wet!!!

Mouse trouble!

Checking in quick to say HI!
Mom has these sore muscle ball/bumpy/lumpy things on her shoulder and she says using the mouse makes her arm hurt and it gets all numb and tingly, so that's why we haven't been around for awhile. I tried to get the kitties, Laura and Josie, to get it, 'cause they are "good mousers" but they don't seem too interested for some reason.
Mom says she has to save her arm for work, cause that's how we get nice classes, and food and so on. We have been doing lots of stuff though, and having fun.
Maisie gets spayed tomorrow - Ouchies! Mom says that's going to be good for her though, because she is starting to get a little "nutty". So, that's what going on here. Mom says her physical therapy is helping, so we will check in with everyone first, and then get back at posting pretty soon.

your pal, Morgan

Agility - Finally!

I haven't been to an agility class in about a month. So I took a lesson with Aunt Lainey, my half sister Kyrie's mum.

It was an hour long lesson, so we shared it with my pal Moses and his mum Jess. You can see them there in the background getting some pointers from Aunt Lainey.



I was getting worn out by the time class was over!
Here's a picture of Kyrie. She and Aunt Lainey recently completed their 4th Master Agility Champion title! Wowzers!

I start regular classes again this week and guess who my teacher is going to be?.... Tess and Jazz's dad!
I can't wait!

AKC Canine Good Citizen Title

Stella saw my CGC tag and wondered how to become a Canine Good Citizen. It's a test you take, and after you pass you get this really cool certificate, and nice ribbon. And, if you are being fancy, you can put the letters CGC after your name.. You do not have to be registered with the AKC to get the title. Any dog can become a Canine Good Citizen! Once you pass the CGC test, you are then eligible to take the Therapy Dog International test. I took both tests at the same time. Most evaluators are qualified to give both.
Here is a link to to an article from Doctors Foster and Smith that explains both programs.
This is the AKC's program discription
and here you can read about Therapy Dog International. If you already have your CGC title, here is where to order a
CGC name tag like mine.

Pee-S - Mom says she thinks other countries have equivalent programs - so check with your national or local kennel clubs if you are outside of the U.S. We would like to hear about them too!

A Present from Suzuki!!!

Suzuki sent me this great gift for entering her 100th post contest! That meant a package all the way from Australia - for ME!
WOW!
It's a tiger stuffie that squeeks, and a tiger print ball. Hey,girlfriend, Thanks!

Trip to the Groomer!

On Friday we took a road trip. We went to the bank,cashed a check and got cookies and a coupon for a free day of doggie day care.

Then we went to the groomer. I had a very nice time, and enjoyed the entire grooming experience. Maisie hated all of it except for the bath part. She didn't want to be brushed, or get her nails done, and she screamed at the dryer. I tried to be as helpful as I could, but then I just gave up. I knew nothing bad was gonna happen to her, and I like to have fun while I am there... Renee, our groomer, said that was OK, because it was her first time, and most pups are like that the first time. We got matching red bandanas, and as soon as it was all over and Renee gave us treats, Maisie was fine again. What a goofball! Geez..
