Fun Match and BBQ with Dogs!

This club (they have great facilities in Santa Rosa and lots of cool classes!) put on an obedience fun match Saturday (tho we did miss y'all at the Hop), and I entered a couple of my very first practice "Open" classes. Dad sat by the ring and taped my performance. Twice, I decided I had to leave Ma for a sec to go say hi to him. Apparently, that was not a good idea. (He just looked as if he could use a few licks.)

Here are a few of us, just hangin' between classes. I also had to do very long sits and downs - with Ma out of sight. On my down, I got up for a bit, then lay down again. Ooops. If you want to see me do a final Broad Jump exercise (with a bad front - oops), you can see it here. Then we were on to better things!

Here I is, waiting for some human to throw me my kong. Below is a collage of McInnis Park, where I go to play and also practice obedience a couple of times a week. It's a pretty nice place and close to my pad. Ma can park in the shade, so Avalon can hang in the car while we play... well...until the lil tyke is allowed to go on doggeh park grass (next week, I hope!).

Ooops - think there are two identical pix in that! And below, I'm getting ready to toss my kong at somebuddy's foot, hoping that they will throw it again heheh!

Here are some of my doggie pals - some of you is missing from this collage. Dumb Ma has forgotten some of your names and didn't get your pictures, although I tried to woof them to her.

Even though this wasn't a golden event, a lot of us seemed to have shown up!

It looks like Olivia and Roxie are trying to get the dogs away from Maureen!

Look at all the puppers who came! And so many of us were so hungry for those dogs too... well, most of us got yummy treats! Thanks so much for putting on this great party - we had a wonderful time!
