Just realised it's been exactly 3 months since i last blogged!! I've been getting complaints from both human and doggy friends that i haven't updated my blog for ages, so here i am again!

So many things have happened in the past 3 months - i've trialled twice (did my FIRST agility trial in August and scored my FIRST clean run ever in the Jumpers trial too - no trophy or ribbon though but that's another story for later)...spent some time indoors and outdoors bonding with my lil' bro Baby T, training training and more training (another trial is coming up in Dec) and basically just having a blast being myself!

I've got so many pictures to share and i'm not even sure where i should start. Let's just start with the photos from the last SKC Jumper and Agility Trial in August! As usual, CK made me look like super-dog!

Mosaic - SKC Trial (24 Aug 2008)


Very cool pix, aren't they?! *grins*

I scored a clean run (no bar-knocking, no refusal, no nonsense, not a single fault incurred!) BUT because S was too cautious with her handling and steered me sooooooo slowly, we finished the course 0.92secs slower than the qualifying time!!! That cost me a rosette and a trophy - what a bummer!! Still, S maintained we aimed for a clean run and got a clean run, so no point whining and bitching about the loss. Just gotta work harder for the future trials, not me but HER of course!!

I've lotsa other photos of me and my lil' bro and i'll post them as soon as i can. Strangely, Baby T is becoming more and more like me and is showing little resemblance to the humans. He recently started to move around on all fours (just like me!!) and has been leaving pools of saliva on the floor wherever he goes (just like me too!!). I wonder if he'll grow some fur and a tail next...or maybe he'll start lifting his hindleg and pissing on everything upright!! What exciting prospects!!

I went for my first Jumpers trial of the year and this time, D (my daddy!) handled me for the first time because as you all know, S has a human puppy growing inside her and if she were to handle me, we'd probably be disqualified for double handling!!

Although i don't speak much about D in my blog, my daddy has been a great supporter of all my activities and i love him to death! Besides ferrying me to and fro from my training sessions and practicing those mean frisbee throws regularly (so i don't have to tolerate sucky throwing....tee hee hee!), he's never selfish and shares junk food with me behind S's back too!!

Even though we didn't win, CK (i shall refrain from calling him UNCLE CK in case he stops taking picture of me in future) captured some great shots that sure made me look so damn cool!!!



I think i look like i was having a blast clearing those bars and zipping through the tunnel!!! Having fun always comes first on my priority list!!

 
More pictures from the trials coming up soon!

SKC Maxi Jumpers Trials (4th Nov '07) - 4th Placing


After 2 failed attempts to qualify for the Maxi-Jumpers trials, i finally qualified and even clinched the 4th placing this time round!! Even though i was one of the speedier ones with one of the best timings, i incurred one fault and hence i didn't manage to get a better placing. Still, the humans and i are exhilarated over it because after all, it is my very first REAL trophy and ribbon!!!

Have more to say regarding the trials but that'll have to wait till i'm done with all the love, attention, good food, new toys, long walks and frisbee fun that i so so so so deserve!!! After all the hard work (i was actually injured during training just 4 days before the trials but i'll tell you about that later), i don't think it's too much to ask for some teeny weeny reward, right?!?
