Bizzy Fizzy

Hurrrooo! I sorry that I has not blogged for sooo long, I beed really bizzy going for walks, playing in the garden, squeaking my toys in Mum's face all day long and doing crazycrazy barkings. Mum also beed a bit poordy so she not beed able to help me type the difficults words and stuff (I getting better now though cos I be 9 months old.. That be very growed up).

This might be the last post for a week or so though. Guess what's happening? I going on hol-ee-day agains! This time we be going to a place called Wales. When Mum first told me about Wales I got a bit ascared cos I thought there'd be whales there, but Mum assures me there be no whales in Wales. Confuzzling huh?
Anyway, Mum says the place where we're staying be very dog friendly, it has a private beach, paddocks for me to run around in, and sooo many walks. Oh and sheeps everywhere too. Yay! We not be going until Monday but I telling you now incase I don't gets a chance to blog again before then.

Anyway, onto catchings up! On Sunnyday it snowed again here. Mum got up to give me my breakfast and weewee times at 7am (then we goes back to bed for snuggles hehehe) and there was loaaads of snow. She beed very suprised cos the weatheryman had not forecast it. By the time we got up the 2nd time there be tonnes of it! So Mum said quick lets go out for walkies afore it all goes away.
(Clicky the piccures to biggify them and see them better)



This little bird came and sat on the fence while Mum be taking photos. He was eating some of those seedy things so Mum tooked his photo, she wanted him to come closer but he wouldn't cos I was doing very loud barkings :-) I just be trying to tell Mum that I doesn't like standing still and she should take photos of ME instead of silly birdies.



It a good job we went out early 'cos most of it had melted by the end of the day. We still had time to play ball in the garden quickly though. This be my new favourite game, Mum buyed a proper ball thrower thing so I can chase the ball, bring it back, and then I tug on the ball thrower as a reward for bringing the ball back, BOL! Mum says I gots the wrong end of the stick, but I not know what she means, cos it not look like a stick to me!





I be rather sleepy, but smiley, after all that :-)

Posing!

We went for another cool walk today. It be along a river with a big house at the end of it, but doggies not be allowed in their because there be lots of old things called antiques. I wonder if Mum be an antique, 'cos she be old compared to me, BOL!

Mum wanted to walk down to the bridge near the house and cross over onto the other side of the river and walk back that way, but there be lots of sheepys there so we had to turn around and walk back the same way. Sometimes when we turn around and walk back in the same direction we came from, I do runnings off! Because I knows that we be going back home, and if I runs off then Mum won't be able to catch me and then I'll just be able to stay out forever. But today, Mum had cheese so I couldn't possibly do runnings off! Cheese is too yummy to run away from, so I kept coming back all the time and being a really good boy. Staying with Mum isn't so bad after all, BOL!

Hopefully next time we go back there won't be any sheepys around and we'll be able to walk on the other side. There were other peoples walking that way but I'd just want to herd all the sheeps up and Mum says that I can get shot for doing that! Uh-oh! We did see some deer again though..

Pee ess... We gots a skateboard! Tricky T-day will be fun this week!

Award and walks!

We gots our very first ever award! We be very pleased and honoured to receive this award from Essex and Deacon at Key West Collies. Thanks so much Essex and Deacon!

The rules state that I has to state 10 things that make me happy and then pass it onto 10 of my pals. Here be my happy things:

1. FOOD! (Absolutely anything - I not be fussy)
2. Mum.. Because if it wasn't for Mum all my happy things wouldn't happen.
3. Walks... I likes food, so that means I has to have walks or I'd be fat! Haha, not that I mind, I love walks!
4. Toys.. I just can't express how much I loveeeess toys. Especially my tuggy!
5. Cuddles.. Especially with Mum at night times in her big comfy bed!
6. Trainings... Because trainings = food and tuggy.
7. Sniffing! This drives Mum mad but I just can't help it, if her nose was as good as mine she'd be doing it all the time too.
8. Hair brushings... You may be suprised to hear this, cos most doggies hate grooming, but I LOVE it! Especially when Mum does my tummy.
9. Other dogs... Especially ones that want to play chaseychasey with my.

Now onto today! Today we beed on yet another great walk. Mum was hoping to take me to the beach today but it beed snowing on and off all day so she took me to a place a bit closer to home. We still has to go on the big busy motorway road to get there but it be nearer than the beach. She promised to take me to the beach next week so I not gets upset.

I made lots of friends. I be becoming quite a sociable little fellow these days! The best kind of dogs are ones that do chaseychasey with me, I not like dogs that just want to sniff my face and bum very much, they just boring. This little dude was one of the chaseychasey kind though and we had loadddds of fun. Mum couldn't get a good photo cos we was running too fast hehe :-)

It turned out to be a very nice day with no more snow!

As you can see from the colour of my paws, I had beed for a paddle in the lake :-)

We even saw some of these guys! Mum says they be called Deers. Normally they stay away from peoples and dogs but Mum got a big shock when she turned around and there was one following us!! She had to quickly get me on my lead and go back to the car, cos she thought it might chase us. BOL!! I was not ascared, if it had chased us I would of definitely protected me and Mum. When we was back in the safety of our car (Mum is such a wimp BOL!) Mum managed to get a piccure of 2 of them running past.

Tricky T-day

Here be our next tricky t-day video, FINALLY!! It not even be proper trickys really, it actually agilities. I posted before we went on hol-ee-day about my new tunnel, now the weather be better we have had chance to do a little bit more outdoor training. As you can see from the video I realllly loves my tunnel!

The second half of the video be of me learning cik & cap. We did a very small amount of training on this when I was younger, not really cik & cap, just going round objects, so Mum be really suprised that I remembered it. So that be our first real cik & cap session. For now I just learning Cik around a toy box, but soon I'll start learning Cap as well, and then we'll start doing it around different objects, and eventually it'll be a real jump wing!

Enjoy!!
