A leg to stand on

its a big weekend. Another dog show.

this time Mom signed me up for both Saturday and Sunday in Rally Obedience: Novice A.

I got my first qualifying leg and 4th place back in February at the Silver Bay Kennel Club dog show. If you'll recall, Mom made a mistake that cost us 10 points. I think she's learned her lesson though, so I was hoping for the best today.

This course was going to be a little tougher. Mainly cuz of the size of the ring...don't these people know how large I am? Come on people, I need some space to move!

checkin out the course (in the far side of the picture)

 cousin Dhani came to cheer me on!

2nd place! I scored 98 out of 100! 

only one more qualifying leg and I get my Rally Novice (RN) title! 

Do you think I can practice medicine after that?

Tomorrow is our next trial. Wish me luck!!

Why I like Daylight Savings...

its still light for a couple of hours after Mom gets home from work!

that means, there's still time to go to the BEACH!!

and still time to play with little sticks!

and still time to watch the birds!

and still time to stalk an unsuspecting dog!

Whoohooo! I love daylight savings time!

Paws for Japan

Have you been watching the news?

Mom has...she can't seem to stop watching the news.

The company Mom works for has a plant in Japan. In Fukushima...where the Nuclear power plant is. Fortunately, they were able to contact corporate offices in the U.S. and let them know everyone was OK, but both of the buildings had some damage and many of her coworkers from Japan had their houses destroyed. Mom keeps praying everything will be ok with the power plant. Can you send a prayer too?

It makes her super sad...to see all the devastation and destruction that happened in Japan. To think of all the men, woman and children who lost their lives. It makes her think about what would happen if a large earthquake like that hit here...in Sandy Eggo, CA. What would she do if she wasn't at home when it happened...how would she get back to me & the kitTONs. What kind of emergency kit should she put together for all of us? Its been on her mind a lot since Friday, and then yesterday, she sees this video on Facebook. 

A woof of warning for your humans...make sure there are tissues close by. Mom's eyes leaked all over the place and now all she has to do is think about the dogs in the video and they start leaking again.

Be a part of the change...World Vets is collecting donations to help the animals in Japan. You can donate by clicking here, or if you click on the 'chip in' linky on the left side of our bloggy. Any little bit helps.

UPDATE from Two Little Cavaliers Bloggie:
These dogs were rescued! This is from Kenn Sakurai on FB "This is what it's like when we could find the dogs at the actual disaster area. The white has gotten weak but the brown one i...s not allowing to get closer. The TV crew shot this. We have already got these dog. But it too two hours to take them to the closest shelter. The guys who had done that had the bigger plastic cage on the back of the bike. Having such weight on the back is risky for going the way with no road." and "Both dogs brought to Mito, Ibaraki. One is staying at the vet clinic and the brown and white one is at the shelter."

just a few words on Wednesday

anyone know who made this mess??

Caturday Blog Hop

I'm surrounded

This one...taking over my bed & my toy as if she owns the place...

and this one...I noticed her just moments before she attempted a death leap on me. It was a close call...

Friday Sunset

Went out to Fiesta Island to meet my friends, Maggie, Chloe & Dexter. 

It seemed like it took them forever to get there! I kept waitin and watchin...and finally they arrived.

it wasn't long before the sun went down. What a beautiful way to start the weekend!

 doesn't Maggie have a beauuuutiful silhouette?

Rally Video!

Here's the video taken during last week's Rally-O competition. Mom definitely needs some more training...every time I sat she was quite crooked in related to my big body!

You can see where she messed up at the 3rd station. After she walked around me and got back into the 'heel' position, she should have pawsed a moment before moving on to the 4th station. Oh well...we have 2 more shows coming up at the end of March. I'm going to work with her some more and hopefully we'll get 2 more legs and get our Rally Novice title!!
