Hey everyone!
I had a pretty good weekend all in all. I went on another Rally Obedience trip with my Mom and little sister Haley. Road trip! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….I LOVE road trips! The heat though…..YUK! Totally unbearable for everyone 2, 3 and 4 legger’s!
I competed two times on Saturday and once on Sunday showing the world that Tripawds can “sorta” do what 4 leggers can do. There were just wayyyyyyyyyy too many “sits” required in one course on Saturday – my Mom counted them and there were FOURTEEN sits in one course! And I DID do them all but not without some protest to them all! WTH?!?! Sunday’s course was much more bearable for this Tripawd and less sitting! I qualified twice out of three runs…going over time on the run I didn’t qualify in ’cause, well, I was protesting on those freakin’ sits! Gawd! My Mom isn’t too sure Rally-O is cut out for me…but that’s OK she says…we can play it at home and make the courses shorter and more to a Tripawd’s style of less sits please! 🙂
We stayed at a great cabin that we stayed at back in May! It was very cool and I remembered it well. Knowing all too well, I am, of course, allowed on the bed! Wahoo! The owners even leave a sheet out for us doggie’s to put over the bed so we don’t get the bedding too dirty.
On night two at the cabin, my Mom and I were standing outside chatting with my Mom’s friend…I was minding my business when all out of nowhere comes this smallish white dog off of another cabin’s deck – they had rope across the entrance…but that was pretty stupid…that wasn’t gonna keep a dog in if it wants OUT! And this dog wanted a piece of me literally! He was trying to bite my butt! My Mom had to kick him off me!!! WTH!??!?! He wasn’t very big either but I can’t really defend myself very well on three legs and this dog trying to bite my bee-hind!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Phew! Mom to the rescue!
My Mom took me and little sister to our chiropractor we haven’t been to in a while – since I’ve been a Tripawd. I was out alot above my shoulders and my lower back/sacrum area…which these area’s all stand to reason being a Tripawd, she said. She also did cold laser on me… a general nerve awakening for my body. After that, I crashed completely! 🙂
On Sunday, my run in Rally was MUCH better! Less sitting on this course! Yay! My Mom was very proud of me 🙂 I did a good job! But she still says Rally is probably too much for me…she says my “job” may be to stay home with my Papa and keep him straight while she and little sister Haley compete in stuff. That’s OK with me too although I DO LOVE road trips and cabin stays(without the dog biting my butt though!)
When we got home today, Mom gave me and little sister a bone. I proceeded to bury mine while Haley chewed on hers. Mom had to unbury my bone! Imagine! She said if she didn’t, me and little sister would get into a fist fight about it later. Well, a while later, I was headed out back with Mom…and little sister next to me, when all of a sudden SHE goes into a hysterical fit and now attacking ME! WTH!??! Am I some sort of magnet to getting beat up lately??!! Apparently, Haley thought I was going to go steal her bone that she hadn’t finished yet!(and Mom apologized to me later cause she told me she should of picked it up after Haley was done chewing it.) So Mom to the rescue again and peeling Haley off me! My gawd! What the heck…do I have a sign on my Tripawd butt that says “bite me”!??!??!
Anyways – after the smoke cleared..we’ve all kissed(well sorta!) and made up…I’m now VERY happy to be on MY futon and resting comfortably after a long, hot and exciting weekend(in more ways than one!)
That’s all from this neck of the woods!

Darn little dogs. D’oh! Did we just show our big dog bias? 😉
Glad you had fun Maggie! Road trips were always your fav!!!! Sorry about the mean small dog…..:-( grrrrr! Glad you ended up ok!
Tell Haley to calm down! he he he
Nice pic of you here!!!! :-))))
yeah! It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog! I can say that….I have Jacks! LOL
Road trips and cabin stays and Rally Obedience = very cool.
Nasty bum biting dogs = not cool at all. Well done, Mom, with the excellent kicking reflexes.
Love the pic of you on YOUR futon 🙂
sounds like quite an excellent adventure!! interesting that your butt is considered ‘sweet meat’…maybe you need to store up a little gas for the next time someone want’s to sample a little maggie moo….. just a thought..

Sounds like you had quite the adventure on all fronts. Poor Maggie Moo – the nerve of that little white dog (you know what we call them around here…rat dogs….) Glad that your mom came to your rescue. LOL – I like Gayle’s suggestion about storing up a little gas – now that would definitely stop that little rat dog in his tracks! 🙂
I don’t know what that white dog was for a breed – maybe a mix – but it was white, short coated and about 18-19″ tall I’m guessing. And it was serious! At first, I wasn’t sure it was but after it tried to bite Maggie’s BUTT…that’s when *I* got serious and booted him away from my Maggie!!!!!! Made me soooo mad…especially when the owner never apologized!
It’s incidents like that that have made Maggie the way she is to other dogs at times – trying to bully them! Down deep, she’s NOT a bully at all! 😉 I felt soooo bad for her and THEN for her SISTER to get mad at her! Argh…
Such is life with dogs I guess!

Seeeeeee! Maggie Moo – that’s why all little white dogs are called Monkeybutts! I have the “original” one living with me. They are evil lap dogs! You need eyes in the back of your head when they are around!
Stay safe my friend!

Wow Maggie. What is up with that little wanna-be rat dog biting your butt? I guess you will have to add weight lifting to all the cardio you’ve been doing. Just wait for the rematch. He won’t know what hit him. Congrats on making 2 out 3 qualifiers. We are all so proud of you!!
