Hello - sorry it's been a while!

Friends have been telling me they want to know more about my antics!  I thought you'd all be bored by now.  So, here goes with the first of a few to summarise 2016.

Gosh  - where to start?  Oh yes,  let's have a post about Rally!

So, sometime in Jan 2016 Mum said to me one day "fancy going to play with some new doggy mates?"  Crazy question - bring it on Ma!!   Folks I'm sad to tell you HER definition of "play with" is not the same as mine.  There was I picturing a glorious romp... not a bit of it.  We went to this building called a hall.  There were six dogs and eight humans.  We all had to stay with our human and learn to do different things when asked, but to ignore each other.   Well, I ask you!  My mum's smart though - she brought me a delicious frozen Kong to slurp on when I got bored, but she's crafty 'cos she tied it to her chair so I couldn't throw it and chase it.

Anyway, we decided it was a nice group and went every week until one day we all got certificates. Then Chris (that's the leader) invited some of us to join a new club called Rally Rockers.   We  did and we now do this thing called "Rally obedience" and it's huge fun.  I get ever so excited when we arrive and can't wait for our turn to do a course or learn a new sign.

Me and Mum are a good team but sometimes she gets it wrong and sometimes I do.  Here are some photos from Rally.

Our first Rally Trial - and we got two L2 qualifiers and a 4th place!
Such a shame we messed up both Level 1 courses - oops!
