Becoming a star!

At the beginning of January, my owner and I sent a form to a television company. This form wasn't any ordinary form-it was an entry to take part in a TV program! On the form we answered a few questions about what we liked doing and we sent it in the post. All month I had my paws crossed and then, one day, we got a phone call saying that we had been selected to take part in an audition! We were so excited! I kept practising my tricks and all I could think about was the audition!
Then, audition day arrived. I got in the car and went on a long journey to the place where we were going to audition. Our audition was a 2pm, so I was able to go for a walk before we went in. At 2pm, I waited outside my car with my owner and we were called to a special room with 4 other doggies who were all completely different. I was asked to wait in a little area and each of us were asked to perform certain tricks such as "down", "sit" and any other tricks we could do. I showed them "paw", "balance" and "stand up" which I all did very well. I was then asked to sit on a skateboard with no wheels. I found it very strange and it smelt funny! I had to do a "dog walk" down the middle of the room and everyone was watching me. Afterwards, I was given a treat and I jumped back in the car. My owner was then asked some questions and on one question they asked what funny moments had there been. My owner told them about when I nearly pulled someone into the river! Afterwards, we all went back into the room and then we went home. It was such a fun day and a great experience.

Back at Agility!

Yesterday, I went back to Agility! As soon as we arrived, I jumped out of the car and started on my sniffer trail. I recognised one of my friends but there was also a lot of new doggies. The first thing we did was jumping over a jump and then touching the mat that had my tennis ball on it. Everytime we jumped, we had to jump over more jumps: the first time we jumped over 1 jump, then 2 jumps, then 3 and then 4. Apparently, I was very good at it! After that, we had to do "Weave". Although I had completely forgotten about Weave, I was quite good at it and it was really fun! Then, we did "See-Saw". See-Saw is my favourite-I love See-Saw! Firstly, I had to jump half-way up onto See-Saw and then supposedly walk, very nicely, down the ramp to get my tennis ball, but, I ran down the ramp to get tennis ball so I had to do it again but walk down the ramp this time. After that, we did See-Saw again but this time we had to walk up the ramp and then See-Saw went down to the ground to get tennis ball. I was very good at this and I found it a lot of fun!
I can't wait until next Saturday!
