Wow, my first shows!

I went to my first dog shows on the weekend. We were meant to go camping but it was so wet and cold that we decided that we would go down each day. We had to get up really early. Banderbear of course whined all the way about missing our on her beauty sleep.

I did well. I won two challenge certificates. I only need six more to make me a champion. If I'm really lucky I might get one next weekend at the National Dog Show.

Hannah showed me for junior handler and I was really good for her too. Can't wait to next weekend so I can see Ngarimu and Maris again.

All my Aussie family will be jealous!

Things are a little different in New Zealand. In Australia were I was born 'possums are protected and we aren't allowed to eat them.

But here in New Zealand they are a horrible imported pest. Jimbos Pet Food have made a new meat pattie, using possums! Yep, those cute furry Aussie invaders are dog food! Tonight was our first taste and I gotta say, they went down faster than an Aussie Yacht!

Apparently we are being environmentally friendly by eating them. I don't care about that. All I care about is they taste yum.

I bet my bro and sister in Oz will be jealous that they don't get possum for dinner.

What a busy day!

We got up really early after we foudn out there had been a big earthquake in the South Island. We looked at the photos and hoped all out friends are ok.

Then it was time for us to go out and play. I went out the front with Banderbear and we played till I got bored. I spotted the pretty fluffy meowy thing from next door. I just had to say hello! So I broke through the netting. But by that time she had run off. She must be shy. Anyway, then I couldn't find my way back through. Luckily Sue spotted me and came to my rescue.

Then she spent lots of time fixing the fence all up and hoping that the fencers can come soon to put the new one up. She banned me from visiting next door ever again.

Then when we came inside and found we had a swimming pool! Our very own indoor pond. The washing machine had died and spilled water everywhere. Oops. So Sue started to clean up the water and broke the mop! It's only a new mop and it bend in half. Things were so hot in the laundry that the water evaporated!

After that it was time for show training. It was hard work and at one stage I threw a hissy fit because I didn't want to do stuff any longer. We always have a talk after training and this time we had a walk aroudn the field. I played with a Leonburger, a Golden Retriever and a Sheltie. The leo chased me, then I chased her back.

I wish I could go back to Wellington and have a play with the Wellywood dogs in that neach they took me too. I'm so good at recalls I can run free, just like Banderbear.
