how much agility tires a mandarin collie????

shwew…i’m one sleepy dog.  naturally, i’m wiped out since agility class was tonight.  it was rough and there was some excitement!

i arrive and…the teacher says “cody bear, we have some newspapers for you.” mom is like “what?”  i’m on the front (above the fold) of the local pet pages.  and we’re in a big town, too!  so mom stuffs some papers in the car and we get geared up for class. 

format:  practice areas down below, an unleashed area above (one dog at a time.) while i was ABOVE…off leash… an aussie, (the one i’m supposed to stay away from cuz we’re both so “high strung” and the cute little corgi mix sparred.  it sounded horrible, and even 100 yards away…mamma almost had to be “ressumicated?” is that right?

as usual, the last 30 mins of class were individuals running the full course. i did as well as everyone else, but i added the element of “VICTORY LAP!”  i grapped my wubba and went h.o.p.

here’s where momma is cool:  she says agility should be fun for me….so she encouraged me and didn’t yell at me for being crazy. 

regarding the h.o.p…..many people take their dogs to agility to tire them out.  not the case here. i have to have a morning, lunch and evening walk BEFORE class, and…the teacher and the momma said i need to be run before classe, too.  something was also said about running contacts and too fast.

i can’t help it i’m crazy/silly.  maybe i need a good fake fight to slow me down????

and, to hear mamma’s perspective (specifically how freaked out she was) click here!

cody bear, if I lived closer I would come over and we would have the greatest, funnest, silliest fake fight ever! I think it is great that you do agility.

that does sound fun checkers. we would have a soundtrack, too, right?
