Next Friday, August 29th I will be 5! The big birthday week celebration started off on Friday with a trip to my groomer, Renee. I like baths, and I got a spray of doggie perfume and a really pretty birthday bandanna. Oh,and a whole big bunch of undercoat brushed out too. Whew, that felt good! I don't blow my coat real well,it all tends to stay stuck until it gets wet and brushed out really good.
Then, on Sunday, mom treated me to an agility seminar with Debbie Sacerich.
We got up at 5:30 AM, so we could be awake and have plenty of time to get there, and I had a blast! There was me, 4 other Shelties(that I liked alot), and my German Wirehair Pointer friend Babydoll.
The place where the seminar was held used to be a dance studio, and the mirror is still on the wall, so what did Babydoll do? She walked right in the room and held point on her own reflection. Boy,the Sheltie people really got a kick out of that, because we Shelties tend to just run up to it and bark at ourselves, but not Babydoll. She had a real classy reaction to her reflection.
Then we got down to business. Learned some helpful tips about angles, and how to best approach a jump or contact, did some distance work, and just had fun. I think we took away some good information because today, at doggie school, both Babydoll and I seemed to do much better!
Later on this week mom and I are taking a trip to visit my cousin Rocky who lives in central Pennsylvania. he's a nice fellow, a happy black lab mix, and he knows all the good spots on the Rails to Trails hiking path.
