Little bit of this n’ that…

#6 Dog in APDT Rally-O for 2011 in Veterans Excellent division!

 

#9 in APDT Rally-O for 2011 in Level 3 division!

Just a monthly update from me…nothin’ much goin’ on but here’s a few things to blog about

Mom got in the mail a couple of APDT Rally-O awards from 2011 rankings – check

these out!  My Mom is pretty darn proud of me getting these!  It’s not easy doing Rally

on three legs – especially with all the S-I-T-S in it…gawd, I really despise sitting now!

Mom said I’m only going to play in Veterans Level now if I do any more Rally-O this

year…shorter courses and less sitting.  I’ve been showing my age a bit since last fall and

my stamina level just ain’t what it used to be – so I am going to be competing less this

year and just taking in as much sunshine, lounging around and a little fun here and there when I’m up to it 🙂

In an effort to keep me as physically strong as possible, Mom bought me more PT tools –

this time, these funny little round objects she thinks I should stand on and hold still on

them.  I showed her it isn’t TOO hard – she has to still place my feet on them – they are

small for me to step onto!  But here I am after my third try at them!  Tripawd Wyatt

impressed my Mom so much with his work on them, she thought I deserved some of

them too to add to my already full closet of PT equipment!

No problem Mom! I can stand here and balance on these Paw Pods!

I competed in Wag It Games again last month…that is such a HOOT!  We did our first

Sniff It competition – where we search for food scent in a container that is either hidden

in a pop up tent(many on course) or in a line of many containers that don’t have food

in them.  I have a VERY good sniffer, I’m told by my Mom!  I qualified in all four classes

of it!  Then I also competed in No Need for Speed and Shadow Skills classes.  I am very

close to finishing my Open titles in those classes…another trial and I should have those

finished up!  I do love Wag It Games…so nice to have my very special own distinction

as a “Heart Dog” – meaning, I don’t have to do those stinkin’ S-I-T-S if I don’t wanna!

Because I’m a 3 legger, I am judged only against myself – not with other dogs.  I can

still earn titles in the program!  So cool 🙂

This photo isn’t a new one but it is of me doing Wag It Games No Need for Speed class –

one of the obstacles called the “270”…passing thru all 4 hoops making a 270 degree pattern.

Well, guess that is all from this neck of the woods!

‘Til next time, keep on hoppin’!
