I'm a canine good citizen

So, the intermediate class finished and tonight I took my test to get the Canine Good Citizen award, and I passed! I got a really cool medal that shows I'm a canine good citizen! If I had thumbs and could operate a camera, I'd take a picture of it because it's pretty neat. Kristen even bought me a brand new black collar, a special collar for my medal. I'll wear it on special occassions, like if I meet the president or get to walk in a parade or something. Woof woof woof!

The mountains!

Eric and Connor drove me to the mountains today, and it was cool. Cold, actually. First, we stopped and went for a neat walk around the lake in downtown Estes Park and I got to pee, but after about 10 minutes it really started snowing, so we had to get back in the car. Then we drove way up high into the mountains to like 10,000 feet where the sun was shining, but it was very cold and lots of snow so I just stayed in the car. Then we went back down to Horseshoe Park and watched elk. Man, they're big. I parked a couple of times, but then I laid down and slept as we drove back out of the canyon. We went for another short walk along Devil's Backbone near Loveland. Ooo spooooky, but it really wasn't. I met some nice people and got to pee.

Agility!

Went to another dog show, very very early in the morning, back down in Denver. It was hard to get up, and then we had to go first, and I was kind of nervous, and the judge, the judge I'd seen on TV just last week when she judged the spinones at the famous Westminster Kennel Club show in New York City, and well, I ran around the ring just fine, but like I said I was kind of nervous today, and she had really cold hands and so I just didn't want to stand there and I squirmed and wiggled and kind of didn't listen very well so the judge was nice enough to excuse me. Which was fine with me!

Then we went over to this other building, that smelled of horses and cows but was really full of people and dogs and ramps and jumps and cool stuff and then I saw it: agility! It was so awesome! And funny! I can' t wait until I'm big enough to do it. When I finish my intermediate class I will be qualified to sign-up for the beginning agility class, so I totally can't wait. Woof woof!

To Denver!

Another dog show! This time in Denver, in a very big building called the Denver Coliseum. It was late in the afternoon, but I had a good time. There were a lot of other spinones here, like seven or eight of em. I was the only puppy boy dog, so I got a ribbon for that. And then I competed against a smaller girl puppy for best puppy, but she got chosen so we got to go home. Woof!
