Rocked it!!

I know! I've been MIA lately! Sooo much to do this time of year, ya know! Now that it is cool outside (or cold - whatever) I'm back to going to work with Dad most days. Lovin it!

BUT, I have also been practicing for my ORT which was yesterday. My last practice run at class was ok, but not fantabulous. In previous classes, I have done great, but my "find" looks different with the funny white boxes, so sometimes Mom has a hard time reading my alert. I'm a rock star, but sometimes Mom messes up reading me.

Sooooo... What happened at the test?? I ROCKED IT!!! 14.4 second find. Not my all time best time of 6.7 seconds, but rockin!




(Dagan in his search harness, waiting for his turn)

Now, on to competitions!! Yippy!

Sleep in!

Dear Mom,
I said I wanted to sleep in today. Your alarm went off and upset me. This is how I solve that problem.



I told you SLEEP IN! I will lay on your head until you comply. You will thank me for this later. Really.

Love,
Dagan

Who has a problem?

Ok, I super grumpy right now! Yesterday, the fam left me home while they were at work. Ok. I can deal. They do that every day. But, then they come home from work, let me entertain The Squirt for a while. Then - now this is when I get super irked - they packed The Squirt up and all left me! The audacity! And after a Thursday with no nose work out! Seriously?!? What are these people thinking.

So, I went to our room to sulk. But then, I felt like playing a game. So I pulled out the dominos. When I had no takers for that, I decided to try Skipbo. I still had no takers! Doesn't anyone know how fun I am?!?

That made me sad, so I got the Kleenex out. Cause that's what you do when you are sad, right??

But, after all that sad, the peeps got mad at ME when they got home! After THEY had the audacity to abandon me for hours and hours and hours.

What's the issue? I don't see any problems.



It's just the games I wanted to play and my kleenex discards. Oh - and the redvines that I used to make myself feel better. (it's not like they helped much! There was only ONE left! Rude!!)

Anyone see a problem here? I think these people are crazy.

How to Treat Puppy Sitters

When your parents go away and ditch you, make sure to show your sitters how grateful you are that they let you stay.



Share your toys (after removing the cookie from inside, of course) and let them pick the movie.




Then, be a super comfy blanket to keep them warm.

That's the way to do it!

It's My Birf-Day!

Happy Birfday to me! Happy Birfday to me! Happy Birfday to mmmmmmeeeeeee! Happy Birfday to me! Today, September 28, is all about ME! What a great day! Well, at least after the people worked, it was a great day!

I had Mom email my friends and invite them to the dog park. SO fun! Even though it was super duper hot, we all had a great time!

First, we had to hear about the game plan!
(a group of dogs, including golden Montego, yellow lab Gertie and Dagan, with several others all looking up at something)

Then, I waited and waited and waited for someone to throw the stinkin' ball!
(Dagan, tongue out, watching the ball thrower)

FINALLY! We are off! Look at that star out front! Great form! All other dogs eat my dust!
(Dagan being trailed by 3 dogs after the ball. Dagan is mid-leap, full stretch)

Beau and Wally weren't interested in all us ball chasers! Pugs! Yeesh!
(Pug Beau in the back ground and Pug Wally up from, tongue hanging out several inches)

We ended the day with a little pal-ing around. I don't know this guy's name, but he is super beefy and totally fun!
(Dagan follows a brindle pitty mix around the park)

All that park-ness certainly puts a big fat smile on my 2 year old face! (And just a bit of drool!)

(Dagan, smiling and looking up at the camera, tongue hanging out, along with a little drool)

Here's to another year!

Mmmmm

When you have sore feet so you can go out and run around (I cut my pads!) if you look super sad, maybe you will get something super yummy too! Who knew that this existed?!?! SO good!



(Dagan with his nose in a peanut butter jar - licking out the ends)

Mmmmm... Peanut butter!



(Dagan looking into the camer with peanut butter and drool spread across his face)

What Mom?? Why are you laughing at me? Not nice! I will just go back to my jar.



(Dagan holding the jar with his foot and his tongue as far in as it will go)

Back to Class!

I am super excited to be starting Nosework III today!! My sniffer just about turned rusty without class the last couple weeks! I get to wear my new duds this round too.



(Dagan sitting on the porch with his royal blue mesh harness on)

These are my working clothes! All I do in this is work. Harness on = nose on! Can't wait! So far, I have learned to search out yummy treats in hidden places, high and low, over and under, behind and hidden. Class II was all about birch. I am rockstar at finding birch! I wonder what's next! I can't wait!

Gotta rest up, chew on my new antler and continue to work on freeing my stick treats from my Planet Dog world ball. That is hard work!

Great day ahead!

Drool Works

When something smells yummy, let people know with drool. The longer the hanger, the more they will believe you! Sometimes it even works!


(Dagan with drool hanging from both corners of his mouth. Left is an inch or so, right's hanger is at least 6 inches long)

Good Pillows

Mom Legs make good pillows.

Dear Mom...


I don't know why your pillow is all wet. I can't imagine that I had anything to do with it. All I did was take a quick after breakfast snooze while you were in the shower. Maybe the shower has a leak that spurts right onto your pillow. Beats me. Now, can I go back to sleep??

Love,
Dagan

How to keep a good Mom down


1) Wait for Dad to leave way early in the morning.
2) Take his bed spot when he gets up.
3) Get comfy and wait
4) Start snuggling when Mom's alarm goes off, while she grabs the cell phone alarm and hits snooze, leaving it on her pillow
5) Slyly act like you want to cuddle with her other side, step over her carefully (to avoid her kicking you out of bed all together)
6) Perform a super cute summersault to assume the position of get-in-her-skin cuddling
7) Slyly be sure you have positioned yourself so that your furry bottom covers the phone/alarm
8) Act like you hear nothing when the alarm goes off and keep on snuggling.

One word of warning: make sure said phone/alarm is not set to vibrate to avoid the sudden shock, causing the 75 pound catapult. This does not do well for continued snuggling bs produces many unkind snickers from both good moms and cats.

This morning didn't turn out quite as I had planned. Wish me luck for tomorrow.

When My Tummy Hurts...

I think about the stuff I LOVE to do. Running in the yard with my Foley is one of those things.

Video: Dagan running huge circles through the yard. Zooming back and forth, past a pole in the middle of the yard. Foley is pouncing off to the the non-pole side of the yard.

Foley normally runs with me, but the other day, he zagged when he shoulda zigged and wrapped himself around the pole. So, now he just romps at me as I zoom past him. Wimp!

But, not today! *Someone* stole a whole box of dental chews and *someone* chose to empty the cookie box, eating them in front of the window to see if people were coming back home. But, no one did! It was quite fun. But, now my tummy is mad at me. So, no yard running today. Ugh. Hopefully, my tummy will be less mad tomorrow.

Dagan
