My Weekend in the Big City

Howdy, y'all! Tedi here. As Tyler said, it's been crazy around our house. Mom's been dragging us to dog shows. I like dogs. Although, I don't get to play with them much. Tyler doesn't really play, he's a bit of a drag. Mom keeps apologizing for his lack of play skills. Lisa, well, she's an old girl and she doesn't play either.

Anywho, I want to tell you about my trip to the Big D. Yep, Dallas, I was in Dallas over the weekend making an appearance on Friday in the Rally ring with Mom. We had a great time. She fed me lots of treats outside the ring, of course. I still haven't figured out why I don't get them inside yet, but I suspect it has something to do with the Rally game. Mom was so happy with how we did, not sure I've ever seen her so happy. And you remember what I've said about her being happy! Oh, daddy! Was she ever giving me more pieces of chicken after we got out of the ring!?! Whew!!! Jackpot!!! It was great! And they kept coming as we sat and watched the other dogs go. Mom said we got a score of 95, we got to go back into the ring and get the clapping thing done. That's so great, too. Such excitement! Then, there's the green ribbon, I've got another one!

Mom calls me her Rally machine. I did make one mistake, but I was so excited to be there, I forgot where I was. I did it good the second time around though. She said our score was a 95 and that she didn't care she was just happy that we worked together as a team. I think we did, too. She did a good job of telling me what the signs said and making sure I understood what to do. The best part; we had fun doing it together!

Tyler ran on Saturday, even though I wanted to go sooo bad! He didn't do a good job. I could tell - Mom wasn't happy when she returned with him, plus he didn't get a green ribbon. Tyler has been doing Rally longer than I have, but I've got more green ribbons than him. He doesn't have a placement yet either (I've got 2). It's safe to say, you can never count us older guys out.

Bounce high my friends!

P.S. Mom says my next gig is in 3 weeks. I can't wait!
