I went to some shows with that poodle

So Mum and I have been practicing agility real hard. I can do it, and I really like to weave, but ya know, when we get to a show, and theres lots of people, and dogs and smells, I can get a little distracted. The first agility show Mum took me too, I ran all over the place, sniffing here and there, did a few jumps, cos I felt like it, and then I tried to pee on the timing pole, but Mum stopped me. I dont know what the problem was, what else is a pole for but to pee on. Anyways, heres a vid link of me at my first show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-dOtAVsmEg


So after that, Mum was really brave and decided to try again..and she took me (and that poodle) to Hawera for a ribbon trial. I have won ribbons there before for obedience.

Mum only entered me in one event, thats all she thought I could cope with (I know I coulda done more though). So I went first before the poodle, and I was darned amazing I must say. I ran right round that ring, went over all the jumps, through all the tunnels, weaved perfectly and I got a clear round. Mum even had a tear in her eye at the end she was so proud.

The the poodle went, she dint do as good as me cos she fluffed up the weave a bit. She got a clear round too though (she are allowed to fluff the weave when you are a beginner).

Anyways, she ran faster than I did, so she got second place, and I got third. WOOHOO.

So then a couple of weeks ago, Mum took me and the poo to an obedience show. We entered different events, cos I have already won the first beginners event. So the poo got second place in that one, which wasnt too bad cos that is the first time she has competed in obedience. And then I competed in the next contest and I got second place too. So Mum was pretty please with us.
