My [Finking] Skool Night

Welcome Back teu Dogwood
and teu my Rally / Pre-Novice Obedience Class

Many ob Yeu haff asked a bout the class
I am taking..
I habbs the best Instrucktor ebber teu be
and I wood lubbs Yeu teu read a bout the class
HERE

Now ass Yeu are whell a ware,
whee are running sebben days
be hind on the photos.
And sebben days a go,
the wheffer whas border line berry bad.

It whas darker than normal

and condishuns in The Business Yard were...

off by a nose...

Juss saying.
Here iss looking down to the souf
teu ward The Agility Field.

And here I show Yeu
a golden
cash-yeu-alltee
from the earlier storms...

Spooky skies teu the west
what are full ob the lightning
I did so hobes they wood naught effeck us
in the arena
and they did naught!!!

shhhhhhhh shhhh...

Turns out
my regular instrucktor is naught here
so I whill be learning from
my former (and all so current) instrucktors
Christy and Tracie. 
Whee were running a bit late on a counta
the bad wheffer
and whee did naught haff much picksher time.

Here iss me hearing the tight jumb
a round the up right
in struckshuns

My the trainer and I are a bit
learning impared
so whee lissen in tently
each and ebbery time.

And whee whatch closely
as Instrucktor Tracie demonstrates
wif her Jelly...
how teu perform this properly.

I did work berry hard wif the Trainer
and all so wif the Tracie
teu deu this properly.
I fink I might haff learned a fing or teu,
and I wore them boaf out in the learning ob it.

Here is me waiting fur what is up neckst.

Neckst
whee were teu perform

The Figyeur 8s

This is naught teu wide circles conneckted
butt more like
teu snow cones connected at the tips.
Tracie did gibbs the Mom many tibs
and whee did pracktiss them ober and ober.
I did co operate and perform
berry much as guided.
And the Mom whas quite proud.

Then whee were tole that
instead ob cones and hoops...
in competition,
there whill be ackshewall peoples there.

Ah Oh.
Suddenly, whee real eyesed
WHEE HAFF A LOT OB WORK
YET TEU DEU


Ok. Whee all so did a bunch ob odder stuff teu. Whee did some flat work, some left turns and some right turns... and this iss harder than it shood be on a counta there iss offten a jumbling up ob the trainers and steudents, and that iss all I whill say a bout that, butt...

Fur that reason,
I deu some times lubbs teu go and get a drink.

It whas a berry good class last week,
and I did feel good a bout my performance.

I do so hobes teu perform so whell teunight...

that my finking brain is ass tired...

thiss week ass lass week...

Side Note
what is really more ob a
End Note

I come home wired from Agility.
The Trainer comes home eckSOREsted.

I come home drained from Rally/Obedience.
The Trainer comes home wif her brain of fire
and racing a bout.
I am naught sure what that means
a bout me and my the Trainer
butt the a nalogy
Ying
Yang
comes teu mind.
[that means OBBoSIT... right?]

And fur the record, I did naught deu any business any where,

Juss saying.

Home Work

Whee habbs quite a bit teu deu...
incleuding building a contack plank
and here she iss in the raw... 

The wood putty whas a problem
on a counta I did try teu lick it out ob the holes.
It iss tocksick and this iss a no-no.
I got in deep trouble.
A gain I digress...

The Mom...
or I forget, may be it whas The Trainer...
picked out a color fur my plank.
 I tole her I whant the GRRH gold

So teu geffer whee pick
A Marfa Steuwart color...
[Marfa on a counta

PENCIL
[like a standard ishyeu Number 2 pencil]

 Here iss the bottom or belly
 what whas painted first.

The Mom or The Trainer [I forget which]
did haff teu drench her self in the DEET
on a couna the skeeters were fick teuday!

I fink Yeu can see the nice color ob Pencil...

I did so berry much whant
teu ober see the finish work
but ass it turns out...
the paint whas whet
and I whas helb full...
so I did seuberfise from the door.
And I did like what I did see.

The color is ecksackly what I in bishunned.

She iss taking her own sweet time
teu dry her self...

butt I am fank full
that she is dry enough fur me to ecksammon.

Yes Yes...

I beliebe I can whork wif her.

Fur now,
here iss me coming back in side.
Whee haffa  raised fresh hold...
 so it is a bit like a obstackle.
I mastered it.
Bring on the rest!
