Overdue videos of my last 2 frisbee demos! The first one was taken last week at SMU's World Animal Day and it's my very first time performing with D! Although S still practices her frisbee chops with me and can still manage most of our usual sequence (albeit at a MUCH SLOWER pace now), she can no longer do vaulting with me and that's supposedly the most impressive part of all! So yeah, she has been out of action for awhile and i'm glad i can finally have some good ol' male bonding time with D!



The second vid was from way back last year at the National Dog Walk. Realised i haven't shared the video with you guys so here's it anyway!



Hope y'all enjoyed the videos!

p.s. My home's bustling at the moment because i was told my human l'il bro is due to arrive anytime this week. I love human puppies because they have as much energy as i do and seem to be able to play fetch with me eternally!!! BUT i was told i'd have to wait for my l'il bro to grow up first before that can happen.....WHAT A BUMMER!

If you have been following my blog faithfully, you'll know that i am a frisbee maniac and there are a few frisbee dogstars out there that i really admire and look up to. One of them is Skye who hails all the way from Georgia in the USA. Apparently, Preston (Skye's amazing owner) saw my vids too and left some reaaaallly nice and encouraging comments for me.

This is what he said:

"Wow Chester is looking awesome!!!! If not this year next year he should (be) so ready for his freestyle debut! Good job and congratz!!"

"Wow isn't he looking good he sure is 100% Border Collie! I can't believe how fast he is coming along. Keep posting those vids!!"

I think Preston is just too kind!!! Too bad frisbee isn't as big here in Singapore compared to USA so i doubt i'll ever get a chance to do freestyle frisbee here! *major SIGH*

Anyway, here's a vid of Skye's little sister, Sienna (she's a red and white like moi and so very cute!!! *grins*) and i think she's gonna grow up to be a big frisbee dogstar like Skye. I've been eavesdropping and know that  D and S have plans to get me a sibling sometime in the near future. Honestly, I hope they get a stupid puppy that has no inclination towards the frisbee at all so i don't need to share my toys with her. HMPH.

Enjoy - here's soaring Sienna!

When the guru first tried to teach me to flip, i looked somewhat like a lizard that has been swept off the ceiling - uber awkward with limbs flailing all over the place. Suffered a few falls due to bad landing (no serious injuries, thank DOG!) but i was told that if i practiced hard enough, i'd have better celebration calibration and would know how to position my body, catch the frisbee and land properly.

The humans were equally as hardworking as me and they practiced throwing frisbee as much as i practiced catching 'em! S and I worked on my flips quite abit and i must say that i think i'm finally nailing those moves, slowly but surely!! Now, when will D perfect his air-bounce?!? *rolls eyeballs*

After last weekend's session, D compiled the videos he took and made them into an awesome em-tee-vee!!! Not to be sadist or what, look out for the parts where i stumble and fall. Like Fort Minor aptly puts it, "it's 5% pleasure, 50% pain"! No pain, no gain!

Check this out!! Hope you enjoy watching it as much as i enjoyed playing frisbee!!



Any dog can play frisbee so come join me! I promise it'll be fun!!!

This is my  very first edited video complete with one of my favourite songs! Uhm...i initially wanted to use Madonna's "Vogue" (*whaddya lookin' at?*) in this video but after much contemplation, i decided it didn't match my big bad boy image at all, so there!

Anyway, do check it out and tell me if you enjoyed it!

Come on, blast your speakers, let's rock and roll!

My mummy and Kingsley's mummy have this weird connection between them for some reason or another - they say the same thing at the same time, they appeared at the SPCA event wearing the same t-shirt and now, they're teaching us the same trick at the same time!!! Just when Kingsley blogged about perfecting his "speak on command" skills, I too, finally manage to master this skill!

Check it out!

 

Anyway, here's wishing everyone, doggies, kitties, hamsters, tortoises (oh well, and humans too...) a very happy new year! May 2007 be happy and fun-filled (bone-filled, toy-filled too!) for all of us!!!

Tutti and me playing a fool. She loves rubbing herself all over me and sometimes i look like i'm about to swallow her head whole. Well, she does smell delicious but we're friends and i try not to eat her up if i can help it. Hee hee! 

(I was joking. Sometimes i think the cats are my best friends second to the humans.)

Sorry this vid was taken from a bad angle and the quality is appalling too. Humans are just impossible sometimes. Tsk.

Did i tell you there was no training last weekend but S and I did something MORE exciting over the week instead? I didn't expect it to go so smoothly and it took me by surprise how easy it was with a little perserverance. We, S and ME, exorcised another demon of mine. Remember how the humans took care of the "tunnel demon"? This time, we man-handled this demon with ease. Oh before i forget to tell you, this demon has plagued me since i was a boy because of an incident which scarred me till now. Talk about childhood trauma.

The demon's name is "Freeze Bee" (which is probably a godsend to alot of you doggies especially Border Collies out there!). I'l tell you about it soon.
