Multi-Talent
Your impressive talent is more than obvious when you can lick your nose and put out your paw at the same time!

Dog Vegas Agility Show 23/01/16
Another incredibly successful Agility competition for Earl, Ethel and I has been and gone again. I am incredibly proud of both of them, and Ethel especially has made herself an Agility memory at only her second ever Kennel Club competition! Once again, we came home with some brilliant and impressive results...
Reliable Earl came 4th out of a whopping 42 dogs in the Combined 5-7 Agility, also going Clear in the Combined 1-7 Jumping! Little Ethel amazed many, coming 6th out of an even more whopping 47 dogs in the Combined 1-7 Jumping! She also cleared the long jump/spread perfectly, having never seen this piece of equipment before! And this was only her second ever Kennel Club competition! This was also her first Clear Round and placing at a Kennel Club competition! She has so much potential and I simply cannot wait for us to grow as an Agility team of two.
I have such awesome dogs!

SS - Climbing High
Earl portrays the determination more commonly seen in professional mountain climbers as they gaze upwards, doing so with amazement and excitement as their goal comes into view among the clouds.

Top 10 Ball-Winning Strategies For Dogs
When multiple dogs live in the same household, no ball goes un-fought for. With an eye on that ball, each dog plans and prays for victory. If your a dog, follow our advice and you'll always win paws down!
1. Cover your opponent's eyes. If they can't see the ball, they can't grab it!
2. Whip your head away from that of your opponent, the ball firmly clasped between your jaws. Although you may feel slightly intimidated when a snapping jaw launches towards your vulnerable face, the further away the ball is from their mouth, the less of a chance they have of winning it.
3. Pull your opponent's head back. This will automatically move their jaws back, reducing the risk of them reaching the ball in your mouth.
4. Be a crab and move sideways; your opponent won't expect this movement, discombobulating them entirely! If necessary, practice your sidestepping technique elsewhere.
6. Give your opponent a serious stink eye. Show them you mean business, and will NOT give in!
7. Trick them into counting their chickens. Play games with them and mess around. Go one way when they expected you to go another. And, when the time is right and the chance comes around, run!
8. Humanise yourself. Reach up high; like point 5, not all dogs have such an amazing ability. Surprising your opponent will buy you more time.
9. Dance! Befriend your opponent. Have fun and mess around. Play games and enjoy yourselves. Loosening your opponent off may relax them, thus giving you a good opportunity to think of a clever plan in the meantime.
10. Never panic! If your opponent is successful in grabbing your ball, keep your cool. Learn the above advice off by your loyal canine heart and be prepared in any given situation.
Good luck... We hope you win your ball!

5. Transform into a hovercraft. You're no longer a dog, and have amazing abilities of defying gravity itself. Only a handful of dogs can do this, and if you can, you have an instant advantage over your opponent.

A Light Scattering
When it snows, people usually reach for their sledges. We, on the other hand, couldn't do so with the amount of snow we had. Therefore, as an equally fun alternative, we reached for the camera!
Although we only experienced a minuscule amount of snow, and, although we couldn't build snowmen or go sledging, the snow we did have gave us a brilliant opportunity for some Winter photographs of the dogs having fun and being gorgeous!
Even though the amount of snow we had was nothing compared to how much snow other places - including other parts of the UK - had, the light scattering we did have provided us with a wonderful opportunity for these gorgeous photographs.
How much snow, if any, have you had recently?

Consider His Mojo Regained
After the slight failure of last week's attempt at a selfie, Earl has regained his mojo of a canine professional in the selfie field!
He really does have a way with facial expressions!

Ahhh... A more satisfying feeling than face planting a comfortable pillow is simply nonexistent.

Fitness For Friends & Smiles For Sugar
With a willing and enthusiastic canine companion, your dog can enjoy heaps of fun and play with his fellows while exercising! There's nothing a dog loves more than romping around in the company of another dog (other than food, of course...).
Does your dog enjoy playing and exercising alongside other dogs?
We're joining SlimDoggy, To Dog With Love and My GBGV Life in the FitDog Friday Blog Hop. Thank you!
As advised by Sugar, THINK POSITIVE!
Have you sent Sugar well wishes?

A Dreamy Sausage Slumber
Happiness is dreaming about chasing a giant sausage through woods and open space... Then opening one eye and rapidly reloading the dream!
And, of course, only when the sausage has been successfully caught and consumed can the dream end. Eyes can only open following a happy and delicious ending.
