Howl-o-ween

Hey guys it's me Max here just wanting to wish you all a

Happy HOWL-O-WEEN

2o2o

Well tomorrow’s the big day our first ever link run. My human has been having a bit of rough time lately so I’m looking forward to tomorrow when it’s just me & her doing what we love. The last few days we have been working on contacts for some unknown reason my human does not like the idea of me jumping OVER the contact zone. I think it’s more fun and so much faster but it’s against the rules but since when do I listen to the rules... oh well it has been fun training. My buddy Rosie at class has been having the same issue but her human is teaching running contacts. I like the look of this running but with the 2 paw thing I get to do a trick and MEEEEE lovessss tricksssss hehe.

I really like rosie but her and her owner beat us at the agility trial by not even a second so it’s time for a re-match it will be a real fun day.

Rivals....

Friendship....

Long time no see

You will never guess who I ran into the other day…MY SISTER!!!!

My sis now named Bell. I met up with her well out for a walk with my human. This other human came running up to us asking what breed I was my owner replied “Australian terrier mix” he said so is my dog, he then said his was part Chihuahua my owner quickly said back so was hers. They then ask a few questions back and fourth about where they got their dogs from and yup they had my sister in their car. They went and got her out for me to say hi I was so happy to see her and she was so happy to see me.

"Puppy Max"

"Puppy Bell"

She looks just like me but much smaller and she has more of our dads aussie in her. She has a loving mum & dad and her very own kid to play with. She’s got herself a really good life I’m so happy for her. I know my mum & dad would be so proud of both of us.

It’s just so un-real that out of all the dogs for me to meet I would meet one of the pups from my very own family been a mutt we don’t get the luxury of been able to stay in contact with our family so this was a truly magic moment one I will never forget.

2 years old

Birthday - 22/10/08

Yes that’s right people I max am 2 years old today. I’ve had so many nice birthday wishes from both dogs and humans plus I got so many new toys and yummy treats from my human she really went over the top.

We also got free tickets to go see cats & dogs 2, my human sent a picture of me to our favourite magazine so they gave us free tickets. I think it’s so unfair that it’s only for human they don’t let dogs in the cinema…it’s a movie about dogs and yet dogs can’t go the silly things these humans come up with. Well it did make my human happy so it's ok..this time.

I’m not lost…

“i'm not lost just a little off-course”

well that’s what my human said…Last night at class everything was going so well I was racing my human over these jumps and doing lots of wrap work around other jumps it was a good night.

BUT after all that when it came to the course work my human was busy working on long jump skill getting me to extend more with our trainer “which I was I’m just that great” anyway because of that she never got to do the course walk, odd thing I think why these silly people walk the course without us dogs after all it’s called DOG agility not human… humans never understand them.

So we we’re first up to run it from our group and since my human had no idea what she was doing she ran it by number. We had a good startbut when I came zooming off the crossover and over the next jump my human stopped. I walked up to her she was looking back and fourth at all sides trying to find this so called number 5 “evil 5 hide from my human I should of chewed it up oh well next time” she was acting like me when I’m trying to find my tennis ball and suddenly the other people yelled out "CROSSOVER" she spun around just like one my tricks hehe and sent me over it. She was all over the place normally we run very smoothly but that night I was just trying to stay with her. I had to jump this evil jump called a winged jump I knew my human was not sure about and because she wasn’t sure nether was I. She tried to send me over but she wasn’t sure how to and I didn’t want to make the mistake we managed to make it but barley. A few more obstacles she sent me to them and quickly at the last minute would pull me back and send me the other way we managed to make it in the end but she was like a crazy terrier all over the place it was quite fun hehe
After that terrible run my human was so happy with me that I was listening so well and I stayed with her and didn’t get frustrated and make my own course up like I normally do.

We have our first Agility Link run on the last weekend of the month so we are going to keep training because we want to show our club how great we are.
