My Birthday!

Hi everyone,
I know I am a day late in telling you, but I'm going to tell you all about my birthday, yesterday!
I share my birthday with one of my owners-wierd isn't it- and obviously my twin brother, Dill.
When I woke up yesterday (8th October) I was very excited. All year I've been waiting for this day and it had finally arrived! My owner greeted me with a song of "Happy Birthday!" And then she gave me a massive snuggle! My tail wagged all day! I got lots and lots of cuddles (even more than normal) which was an extra, special treat! I then went on a long walk by the river in this massive park which was very nice!
Afterwards, I got home and we started opening presents. My owner opened a few of his and then I got given mine. My heart started beating faster and faster as the tension built up...It was a bone! I was so happy and straight away I went off to my favourite place (in front of the front door in the sun!). I chewed for ages until visitors arrived. They were all happy to see me and I got lots more cuddles! Then my owner opened a few more presents while I started chewing on my bone again. It was then cake time!
I had had a sneaky feeling about my owner while she was in the kitchen for a while...And then I found out why! My owner had baked my 12 "pupcakes" (2 for my brother and 10 for me!!) which were sooo tasty! She put a candle on one of the cakes and put it in my dog bowl. I blew the candle out (with some help) and then I chomped it down in one bite! I had a great day! Jasper x

Twitter!

Hi everyone,
You may remember me mentioning making a Twitter account a few months ago. Well, guess what, I now have! I am going to tweet as regularly as I can so everyone can keep up to date with me, but don't worry, I am still going to be blogging about my life in more detail. So, if you have Twitter, follow me! http://twitter.com/#!/Jasperthedoggie Thanks everyone, Jasper x

Agility Competition!

Hi everyone,
Sorry for not blogging for a while, I have been very busy!
Last weekend, I had an agility competition. We left at 7:45am to get there for 9am, which was when the Judge's Briefing was. When I got there, I instantly remembered the place. I had been to the same event but last year, when I didn't compete but took part in a have-a-go thing! While some dogs did Pair Agility, I decided to do a bit of training before the competition, so I could get use to the ring. The first time I did it was just training and the second time was a competition, but just a fun one! It was really fun and I didn't want my go to end! Luckily, I had my two proper competitions afterwards and I was very excited. First up was the agility course: hoop jump, A-frame, jump, dog walk, funny jump bit, tunnel, jump X3, see-saw, half-tunnel, tunnel, jump X2! My owner walked the course and then we queued up to have our go. I went second in the medium category. 3...2...1...GO! And I was off! I did everything perfectly: the jumps, the tunnel, the see-saw, the dog walk but then it got to the half-tunnel. I have never been keen on the half-tunnel but I did it during the training sessions, however this time I didn't feel like doing it! I jump on top of the tunnel and walk up the droopy bit of tunnel. I found it very funny and so did all the people watching, as my owner attempted to get me to go through! We first got a penalty, then another penalty, then elimination!! After I got eliminated I realised that I should probably get on with the course and I finished the last few obstacles. Although we didn't get a clear round and through to the final, we entertained the audience and it was a great experience.

However, that was not all! I had also signed up to do a speed circle agility course, which, at the time, I had no idea what it was! We turned up for my go and got out into the arena. I learnt that I had to complete all the obstacles in a circle as fast as I could and keep on going until a whistle went. At that point, I had to run through a tunnel and over a jump to finish my go! So, I began. I had a great start and did the first few jumps and tunnel but then I realised there were a group of people chanting my name! I felt as though I had to thank them for the support, so I went over to them. Whoops! I realised that I was being timed and that I was wasting it! I sped off but unfortunately, half way round, the whistle went and I had to end the course. Although I didn't win either of the competitions, the lady commentating said that I win the "Best Looking Spaniel" Competition! I was very pleased and then it was time to go.
The whole day was great and I loved meeting all the other doggies!
Talk soon, Jasper x

Fun in the rain!

Hi everyone!
How is your summer going? Mine is great, I am having such a fun time!
Where I am, it has been raining today. Many people and doggies groan about this, but not me! I love the rain! It is my favourite type of weather! (Well, apart from snow, of course!) Today, when my owners took me out on my lunchtime walk, we had to leave in the rain. They weren't so sure about this, (I don't know why!) but off we went. I had the time of my life! It was so fun! Everything was quiet, and I had the whole park to myself. My owners threw my tennis ball and I chased off after it, the rain pelting at my face. It was so lovely and refreshing! We then went over to the big hill, and me, being a springer, jumped through the tall plants at full speed. It was great! It didn't stop raining the whole time. Infact, the rain got stronger the further across rhe park we went! After all the excitement, we walked back home and my owners put in the towel bag (this cool red bag that keeps me warm and dries me!) and I went fast asleep! I hope everyone has had an amazing day, talk soon, Jasper x
P.S Sorry I haven't upload the photos of my summer so far, I am having a bit of a tech prob! I will try to upload them as soon as possible!
