Is it spring? Why isn't the pool open yet?

Ooooh, Tank and I had a wonderful trip to Pennsylvania with the old girls! We stayed upstairs in a motel with scary-fun metal stairs we could see through; learned to walk, poop, and pee on solid ice; got tons of treats and rawhides; and I even made the cut and got an extra competition in the MOOOOOOOOVEMENT CLASS, because I'm such a nice strutter! We were SO tired on the way home that we just snoozed in our crates. We're ready to go earn some titles now.

I got an EXTRA driveway walk this afternoon. Grandpa Wayne took us all this morning before he left to tune a piano. Ralphie, Miller, Molson, and I had a wonderful romp. Grandma Wendy took JUST ME this afternoon and we practiced my happy-tail-stand and strutting. I could have strutted lots more, but she kept taking rest breaks. I even got liver treats on the afternoon walk. I overheard her talking to Grandma Kathy on the phone about daily conditioning and training. I think that means more walks and adventures in my future!

All the ice and snow is gone and there are wonderful smells to smell outside. I can't understand why we can't go swimming yet. That stretchy thing is still on top of my pool.

Exciting news! My litter mate Bunny is competing this weekend in Rally and Obedience. The Grandmas are going to watch. I don't know if I get to go. Even more exciting, my other sissy Aurora is moving back to Virginia from Las Vegas! She's such a city girl now I hope she'll still let me @#!$# her backside!

Rain, Ice, Sick Humans

ARGHHHHH! I have been plagued by rain, ice, and sick humans for the last long days! I haven't been down the driveway in DAYS! It's 31F and the trees and walks are icy. The humans have been using that as an excuse to skip THE WALK. Finally Grandpa Wayne took me for a walk this morning. Bro Miller and I had serious cabin fever. It was pretty slick on the driveway and Miller ran off into the woods so Grandpa Wayne's mad. I would have gone with Miller but I was on the leash. Wayne's back outside yelling and blowing the whistle now.

Friday I will go to Harrisburg, PA with Grandmas Wendy and Kathy and Bro Tank. We're going to a "Winslow Way Seminar" to learn the finer points of AKC Dog Shows. We get to stay in a motel and jump on the beds. We'll get lots of TREATS! We'll get BONES! Whoopee! I LOVE dog show weekends!
