Go to bed

I go to obedience training each week on a Wednesday evening. We have a test coming up in the near future so I am doing homework in the back garden. But I have a problem with a command called 'go to bed'.

Its quite hard to do as you have walk over to a blanket and then lie down on it as if you are actually going to bed.

I keep missing the target, this to much in front of the blanket.



To much behind.



Huston we have touchdown, the Wizz has landed !



OK where is the treat you promised me ?

Chip & Agility

Chip, not satisfied just doing flyball, has started doing Agility training as well.



It looks a bit different to flyball, they have jumps but these ones have poles across them, like horses have when they do jumping.



There are tunnels to go through. I think Chip likes these being a terrier.



Weaves, these look very hard to work out.



Walks that you have to go along, which are off the ground.



And a really high A frame that you climb over.



It all looks really complicated to me.

Wordless Happy Wednesday

Last training

We had our last training session on Sunday for a few weeks. The club is at two tournaments in a row this weekend and next at Fairview farm run by the Jets. Then its the British Championships in Warwickshire. I went last year but only as a spectator and I should hopefully be competing this time.

This was me doing jumping training on Sunday, it was a really hot and muggy day so we were all a bit lethargic!



Bit of a closer one of me. They say I have a very long tongue, a bit like a lizard!



And Super Chip,



He managed to run a 4.6second leg in training this week and that was at the end of the session and in all the heat. (I just wanted to find a nice cool drink and some shade.)

Hair today

We all had a bit of a brush up today to get rid of any knots or old hair in our coats. As we all working type dogs fortunately we don't have to be groomed all that often, unlike some other breeds.

Who do you think needs it the most from this evidence ?



Yes Dare does (obviously a Blue Merle thing)



Mind you he looks like he enjoyed it!

Cool

Its been quite a bit cooler these last few days in West London and we have even had some long awaited rain so the grass should hopefully get green again soon.

I do prefer it a little cooler so I can have a nice lay down on the cold floor.



That's lovely...

Wordless still not moving Wednesday

Telekinesis

Can I move that tennis ball with my mind power alone ?



Sooner or later I will...

Garden visitor

Out in our garden its still nice and sunny and we have loads of flowers still in bloom.



I think this one looks interesting.



Apparently some of the flowers also interest visitors into our garden.



Like this little visitor.



But some garden visitors are a bit more permanent.

Boring

It can get a bit tedious being inside sometimes.



You do need a bit of excitement.



Even the back garden can lose its attraction.



Much better...
