Silly Sunday ~ Dog Games

We participate in the annual Dog Games event held every May and I really, really wanted to post about all the fun we had this year but Mom never got around to helping me tell my story so here are some of the pictures from our event.  Imagine our surprise when we received literature in the mail and there were our faces on the brochure.  I think that makes us celebrities.  Hey!  Where is my royalties check....I need some cookies, toys, collar with matching leash and harness, cookies, and more cookies. 

We had an excellent time.  It's the perfect opportunity for all of us to act silly, funny and let loose.

Mom and Dad had to put socks on their hands and then dress us in these shirts and once dressed we had to run to the finish line.   Do you see that the Queen is winning this one.  Oh Yeah, I still got it!!  I won, I won !!!

 Silly girl I guess no one explained to Bella the rules of this game.  The object of this obstacle was NOT climbing the ladder.  Miss Bella wanted to show them there was a better trick to done.  We were supposed to go under the ladder and through the curtain.  I still remember having to help Mom and Dad pick their chins up off the ground.  They were just standing there with these stupid looks on their faces in total disbelief.  Mom as laughing like crazy.  What can I say....that's my sister.  I wonder if she thought it was a skinny A-Frame?

Hey! she stole my trick.  I do wakey, wakey.  Can you believe these people thought we wouldn't be able to find our Dad hidden under blankies?  Silly humans.  We always know exactly where our parents are.  We are superb Mom and Dad finders especially under blankies and once found we thoroughly cover them with lots and lots of kisses and wet willies.   

There were lots of fun games like this set up all over a very large field.  All the stations use skills that we have learned like sit, stay, down, come, loose leash walking, catch, etc.  There was one obstacle where they took large kitty litter buckets and turned them upside down and lined them up like weave poles and Bella thought they were a "table" like in agility and hopped right up on top one.  That may be because our backyard agility table is actually an upside down wash tub.  And they wonder why we get confused.  This event has given Mom lots of ideas of how to make ordinary objects fun for us.  There were other stations doing things like timed catch - how many balls or treats can you catch in a specific amount of time.  At one spot they held us one at a time while Mom clipped a key to our collar and then walked away and chained herself to a post, she called one of us (the one with the key) and then she took it off our collar and unlocked the lock - you never know when you will need a good recall.  That's just a brief idea of some of the neat stuff we get to do.  I'm already looking forward to next year.
