Back From Louisville!! (part one)

Hi everybody!

We made it back from our big trip to Kentucky last week to see all my Bedlington pals and run some agility. I am SO TIRED!



It was such a long drive but I was lucky to be able to ride in the van with all the people and play with them as we rode along. Most of the other dogs rode in the dog van with all the crates.
When we got there, there were SO MANY dogs I lost count! They said there were more dogs there than at the Westminster show in New York. I can't even count that high! (MOM: About 3700 dogs were entered for the weekend)

Emmy and I hung around the grooming area for a while. They put us in crates and there we sat 'til Mom was ready to take us to the agility arena!



Here's our breeder Linda showing a dog in the breed ring. And to think I used to do that! Yawwwwwn.... I like what I do now much better!



Well I have to cut this short -- Mom says it's almost time to go to another agility class tonight and we'll miss it if we wait for the dumb old computer to upload all our pics right now. We'll have to continue this tomorrow night when Mom has more time.

I'm not too tired to run some more agility!

Stay tuned!
Love,
Rudy

Dog for Sale

Hi all!

Mom got lazy and didn't want to let me on to blog last weekend, she ran out and rode that HORSE I know.. I could smell it on her, plus she bought that thing a gigantic sweater to wear, it's the biggest coat I've ever seen! It could cover about 30 Bedlingtons! Gracious...

Anyway, Rags is still here. He's for sale since his owners said they didn't want him back. (sad face) They asked their neighbor if they'd like him and they said no, too. He's very good; he's only chewy which is normal for 8 months old. His owners didn't like to crate or pen him up so of course he chewed up stuff like rugs, plants, and antique furniture. Poor Rags. We make sure he doesn't do that over here. Mom is good at that!

But I'm going to be SO GLAD to see him go -- he still messes with my woman, but Josie says to mind my own business. I get back at him, I steal his toys and dare him to take 'em back!

I usually take the toy and lay here like so and dare him to take it from me. Mom says I make the funniest sounds at Rags -- half whine, half moan. That's my "I mean it" sound!



He doesn't care much, nothing bothers Rags. Dennis caught him one day napping in his bed UNDER his cushion. You can only see his head!



One day Mom found a LOT of water all over the kitchen floor near our water dish and couldn't decide if someone drank too much water and burped it up, or someone had a big accident next to the water dish. THEN she set the bowl out in the floor and caught Rags doing this! I think he's stopped doing that now. (MOM: yeah! no more mopping)



But Rags is mostly pretty good; he gets along with everyone and he's learning what "do you want to go outside?" means, although he chews his bed during the day so Mom's pretty tired of sewing it up again. He's got more toys to chew in his pen so maybe he won't do that so much. He's going to need another bath soon -- Mom says besides muddy dog feet, she hates having stinky dogs! Aw poo.

Love,
Rudy
