Dog to dog blog: I need a holiday

Hi Guys

Life has been soooo busy lately, I've persuaded Mummy that we need a break. So we've come to spend a few days with Granny and Grandpa on their boat. Haven't decided where we're going yet, mind you; we're at Alrewas tonight, so that we can go to agility as usual. I wouldn't want to miss that, all those mates of mine (they wish).

Last weekend, we did another demo. It was really very hot, but Mum looked after me well, with my own water supply. I was able to chat up a lot of folk in the crowd. The actual show was for labradoodles (big hairy mutts, but OK once in a while). I got a fifth for longest tail, and the same for best rescue dog; I should be able to do better than that with a bit of practice.

I did a couple of circuits of the agility course, first time with my lead in my mouth, always gets a laugh. Second time I did it on my ownio, with Mum panting alongside. Again, I worked it for laughs a bit, running round some of the fences and then jumping them backwards because Mum hadn't caught up.

Big hand from the crowd.

Afterwards, Mum let me chill out in the car whilst she went a had a rest herself, and a drink with one of the other handlers.

This afternoon, we went shopping; Granny and Grandpa seem to do a lot of that, if you read their blog. Don't know why, I manage on a big tin of dried food and some rawhide chews.

I'll keep you posted as to how it goes; should be some decent chances to try this Olympic looking Lynxy boy is so keen on...

Lotta licks
