Agility Fun Match and National Stuffie Appreciation Day

So as you all know, I went to an agility fun match last Sunday. It was awesome pawesome! This was only the second time I've ever gone to one of these fun matches.

The day started out when my human Lizzy woke me up. I think I should have been the one to wake her up, but I was too exhausted to do so at 6:30 in the morning. But the moment she said the word "agility", I was wide awake! So my human Lizzy and her mom and I left the house at 7:30 and got to the agility barn by 8:00. Everywhere I looked there were sleepy humans being dragged around by excited dogs, or excited humans dragging around sleepy dogs!

My humans set up not just two chairs, but three chairs! They know I hate bing put in kennels while I wait for my turns, so I got my very own chair to sit on between my two humans. It made me feel special, like I was the top dog in the whole barn!

Finally my first turns came to run! I won second place in the first Gamblers course, and first place in the second Gamblers course!

Then we went on to the Standard course, in which I won third place. To tell you the truth, we didn't do to well! I think it was my human Lizzy's fault, she needs to practice her handling better. Her hands tend to fly everywhere and then I don't know where to go! But I suppose it's also partly my fault, 'cause half way through the course I saw my other human, so I quickly ran out of the course to catch her attention to make sure she was watching me. Then I ran back in and finished the course. Hee hee. Here's a very short clip of me finishing the course...




After that we did the Snookers course, but we kind of completely blew that one. Right away when we started my human got me mixed up and I came out the wrong end of the tunnel! So that was the end for us on that course.

Finally, the last course was Jumpers. I just knew I was gonna do grrrreat at this one, 'cause jumping is what I do best! And, I was right. I won first place with a Q. I wish someone took a video of me doing that course so I could show you all!

After I collected all my ribbons, the day was done... We were in that barn for 9 hours! Even though I only got to run 5 times, I was still tired by the end of the day.

Here's a picture of us with our ribbons!

Now, enough of the agility talk, it's time for us to get on to the National Stuffie Appreciation Day! Thank you, Mr. T-Bone, for making this special day in which we can appreciate the stuffies that we normally try to so hard to kill.

Unfortunately... My last stuffie disappeared last week. It was a candy cane stuffie that I got for Christmas. I had already ripped it open, eaten half of its guts, and popped the squeaker 'till it literally popped right out of the stuffie, and then I think I ate the squeaker too 'cause it vanished just after I popped it out... But, you notice I said I only ate half my stuffie candy cane's guts. That's because I was saving the other half for later, 'cause I truly appreciate my stuffie, and I didn't want to completely kill it all at once. But unfortunately, as I said before, it disappeared. I'm not exactly sure where it went, but my humans kept on mentioning that it was about time that it went in the "garbage", whatever that means...

So, at the moment, I am what you might call "stuffieless". But here is a picture of me, dancing like a clown, with my beloved stuffie candy cane, of whom I truly appreciated.
