I was naughty

I guess it’s possible that sometimes even the Blue Dog can be a jerk. Fergus came over to play on Sunday and he brought his little brother, Ryder, with him. I wasn’t very nice to Ryder. I finally found a dog more submissive than I am and I was mean to him. Mom informed me that I need to be nicer. I’m sorry, Ryder. I don’t know what came over me. I sure hope Fergus doesn’t want to stop playing with me. That would be very sad. I guess sometimes I just don’t think before I act.

I had fun playing with Fergus and The BFF. We ran around and barked. The BFF was flirting shamelessly with Fergus. I told her to be careful or he’s going to break her heart. She may be pretty and all but that blond boy is definitely a player. Fergus’ Food Lady took lots of pictures while we were playing.

Fergus and I watched over the baby dogs from the table…

The BFF flirted with Fergus by trying to steal his yellow cuz…
See? She just kept following him everywhere. It was embarrassing…
It was really hot but I got to play on the agility equipment a little bit. Here I am on the a-frame… …and on the teeter

The BFF showed off in the weaves…

…and on the a-frame

Meanwhile, The Cowboy watched all of us play. It was fun to show Fergus my Cowboy.
Fergus told me that he thinks he gets to do dockdogs next weekend. He said that all of his fans scream for him when he gets up on the dock. That must be so cool. I wish I had fans. Mom says she would take me to dockdogs sometime but she doesn’t think I would jump off the dock. I hope I get to try it sometime. I think I could jump off the dock. Then maybe I could have fans, too.

Independence Day

Happy (belated) Independence Day from The Blue Dog. It was a nice, long weekend in our house. That was good because I got to spend more time with The Cowboy. On July 3, mom and dad took The Cowboy and me to see the fireworks. That was really fun. I didn’t really care that much about watching them. It was more fun to just hang out, eat the food and watch all of the people. The Boss told me that fireworks are scary because there’s so much noise but I wasn’t scared at all. The Cowboy had so much fun watching them.

Mom said that Independence Day is a big deal. It’s a very important holiday. I’m not sure. I certainly don’t want to be independent. I’ll take her word for it, though. At least the colors everywhere were red, white and blue. Blue is the last color named because it’s the most important. So much more important than red.

I’ve heard some rumors that The Boss and I might be home alone again this weekend. I sure hope she doesn’t try to get us in trouble. I can’t believe how naughty she can be. The BFF seems to think she gets to go to another trial. I hope she does well and the butterflies aren’t flapping too much in her head. I sure wish I could go to a big agility show some time. For now I’ll just be as good as I can when we train and maybe someday mom will see that I’m a big boy.
