My first Blue Ribbon

Me the little fish in the water.......

I know mom has gotten off the beat in track and not writing so much the past few weeks but things got bizzy and yes we did some training but not so much. 

My big adventure of a few weeks ago was a Dock Diving Competition.  I just started and was a youngster there so put in the JR. Division.  I even won my first blue ribbon.  First place diving out 13.5 feet in the water.  How much fun that was. 

Although I think I should have a handicap in all this cause my mom is the worst thrower in the world.  She throws it to the side, over the edge right where I jump and sometimes way in the air so I can't see it.  But inspite of her I had fun and I think so did she cause she just laughed and said, sorry Cali, you have the worst thrower out here.  Hope she will practice as she and I do with all the stuff we do.

Milt the pool guy (actually the man who runs the pool events and owns the pool), loves to play with us dogs throwing stuff for us in the pool.  A bad thing happened.  Not to me but to the pool stairs.  They went missing at another place so there was no way to get into the pool.

Good ole Milt taught me to jump over the side instead of using the stairs.  Just so that I could swim and retreive my bumper toy.  I tried this a few times and wallaaaa,,,  I loved it. 

I will admit I do love to swim and the weather is getting warmer.  Now when mom throws the bumper into the pool I go in and get it and just swim around like a little fish.  I take my time to get out and just enjoy the water and swimming.  How much fun is that. 

Now I am helping other dogs to learn to jump in from the side because who knows when the stairs will get there.

The other day there was a very handsome boy dog out there a big Pit Bull dog who I ran around and showed off my bumper toy.  I thought he wanted my toy but I think he was fresh on me.  He wanted to follow me so bad that he saw me in the pool and when they put him in to follow me out he swam so fast that his head was on my back.  I did not like this so growled at him to back off.  He did being the nice dog that he was. 

We did train once or twice with our freinds in French Ring but life happens and they have not been able to make it to train with me.  Mom says me and her are gonna go back to having fun training and working at her work place until we all meet up again.  Maybe I will really let go for once in my life.

Hard for a cutie pie like me to think the world is serious.
