We made it home, finally! Although, I wish to file a formal complaint. Mom kept me in the crate with Lisa the whole ride home! What was she thinking! I belong in the front seat; she knows this! I didn't like it. Lisa is a crate hog - she just plopped herself down and took up a good chunk of space. I tried giving Mom the most pitiful look I could muster, hoping she would let me out. Alas, no; it was rough, I must say.
It feels good to be home. I had fun being out on the road, but being home is much better. We get home and now Mom won't let us run around in the backyard. She says it's a swamp. So! Like that matters to us dogs. She's taking us out on leads so we don't go play in the mud. Now, you tell me, what is the fun in that? Uh, NONE!
Thankfully, the sun has come out and Mom has come to her senses. Well, as much as she can anyway! ;-)
Happy Bounces,
Tyler

WooHoo!
Howdee, y'all! I thought Tyler would never get off the computer. He gets on this thing and rambles. I had a fantastic day! Mom told me early this morning that I was "going to work". I love it when she says that! It makes the hair on my tail stand on end!
She got me down to the waiting area and I chilled out for a bit. Then, it was time to work. Something new this time, Daddy was here! Daddy came to watch me for the first time. It was great and I was going to make him proud. Mom did her course walking thing and I watched her intently for clues as to what we might be doing in there, but she didn't let on. Sneaky girl, but it would spoil the fun. We get in the ring and I hear that famous word, "Forward!" And we're off!
Mom did a wonderful job. She helped me read the signs and do what they said. Most of all, she helped me keep on course. Once we were done, I got a mouthful of turkey hot dog! Mmmmmm....jackpot! A definite sign I've done a good job. Mom said I did outstanding and Daddy was really proud of me.
Mom said our score was a 97! My highest score so far! Even better, we got to back into the ring and do the clapping thing. It's great being in there with all the dogs; I like dogs. Surprise! The judge called our number and we got another ribbon: a big, huge, yellow one! Mom said we got 3rd place. She was really happy, even more happy then she was before. We even got to do a picture with the judge.
I helped Mom clean up our stuff in the waiting area. When we got back to the room, she had a special surprise for me - a beef strap! Yum!Yum! I didn't mind babysitting Lisa although, I didn't really want to. After Tyler and Mom left, I took a nice long nap.
Reporting from Minnesota, bounce high my friends!

A Good Day at the Specialty
Hi there, everybody! It seemed like forever before Mom and Dad would leave the room! We can't certainly let them know we're blogging about everything that goes on around here, can we? BOL (Bark Out Loud)
Well, Tedi and I both had a great day today. My day started out not so good when I was forced to remain behind and watch Lisa. Humph. I hate babysitting duty, but if I must then I must. Its hard not to be resentful when they keep treating me like a dog. I digress. My day didn't start so well, but then it got better when Mom took me down to the show.
Mom kept talking about me getting to meet my "daddy" - my "real daddy", she said. What is she talking about? I have my REAL DADDY right here! And his name is Mark. Whatever. At least I'm out of the room and Tedi is the one stuck with Lisa. Well, meeting your "real dad" isn't all it's cracked up to be. Our first encounter he sniffed in my general direction and then grumbled a little at me. "But Dad, it's me, Tyler!" I tried to say, but he would have none of it and Mom said we should give him his space. Thankfully, our second interaction was much better.
Daddy did good in the ring today. He placed second in the 7-10 years Veteran's Class in Sweepstakes. That's pretty darn good! Apparently, there are other family members of mine out there that I was unaware of. It seems I have a half-sister, Annabelle. Annabelle is nice. We exchanged several pleasantries. She's a pretty brown girl. It seems she also did real well in the ring today with Grandma Diane. Annabelle got a placement in her class in the puppy sweepstakes.
The best part of my day was getting to sit on Grandma Diane's grooming table and get attention from everyone. I love that. I love being the center of attention. Of course, I dished out the customary kisses to all around. One of the neatest bits was meeting some of my other human relatives. I met my Great-Grandma Marian and Great-Grandpa Steve. I got right up into GG Marian's face and showered her with Tyler kisses; it's like I've known her my whole life! Another wonderful person I met was Grandma Brenda. She's really special, too!
All in all, today was a great day!
Happy Bounces!
Tyler
P.S. Oh, yeah, and Tedi came back to the room with another ribbon...zzzzzz

Reporting from the Beardie National
Howdee y'all from the great North! Tyler and I are reporting from Minnesota and the Bearded Collie Club of America's National Specialty. Mom basically says its a big ole shindig just for Beardies! Before I forget, this is my first specialty and it's so cool. I've never been around so many of my own breed. Beardies are everywhere!
Mom says that we're not just here for the party: we're here to work doing the Rally thing. Oh, goodie! That means she'll be sending cookies this way! Woohoo! It should be lots of fun. We're scheduled for tomorrow morning, so I'll have to report back and let you know how it all goes. Hopefully, Mom can hold it together!
Bounce high my friends!
