Hey everyone - Faxon here!
I thought I should write telling you about all the fun I had today. :)
Well we went to another of those obedience trial thingies today. It was really windy, cold AND wet! I can tell you I didn't want to be there but Bear seemed to think it would be a good thing to do.
The trial was at Belconnen Obedience club were we used to train when I was little. The CCD ring was in the free run area where I used to take Bear when I wanted to run around. We were first in the ring today and I guess I wasn't really concentrating on what Bear wanted us to be doing - remember it is windy, cold AND wet. So off we went on the heeling exercise - you know where I'm supposed to walk nicely beside the Bear, sit when the Bear stops or Drop or stand when the Bear tells me. Well I kinda got distracted and stopped paying attention to the Bear and kinda just wandered about. I did a couple of drops but they weren't were they were supposed to be. My stands were kinda interesting as well. It's amazing the positions you can get to at the end of a leash. ;) As for sitting when the Bear stopped well again I did sometimes but prolly not where the Bear wanted - sometimes I was beside her sometimes in front and well sometimes there were other interesting things to look at. The Judge said something about it not being our finest hour - Bear laughed for some reason.
We then moved on to the Stand for Exam. I'm usually really good at this but remember cold, windy AND wet! When Bear told me to stay I kinda followed her a little way and then stopped. I did stand nice and still while the nice judge patted me tho'. I don't think we got many marks for this tho'.
The last thing we did was the Recall. I have to say I did the first part really really well. I heeled nicely off lead till the Bear stopped. I stayed while she walked off. I even ran towards her when she said "Come!"...... But then I got a bit distracted. It wasn't really my fault. You see there were some bushes that just needed to be investigated. You never know who has left interesting smells on bushes. Bear spoiled my investigating by coming and getting me. Drat!
For some reason we didn't stay for the sit and down stays today. I don't think Bear wanted me to play with the other dogs when they were working. I guess that is fair enough but it would have been fun to play!
Anyway I got to come home and stay inside in the warm while Bear, Anita and Lucy froze at one of them show things. hehehehe!
Big Pawz to you all.
