the playground!
Oct. 3rd, 2004 11:31 pmI have decided an important thing. The agility yard is a playground. MY playground.
Mymom took us out to play today. She set up a big batch of jumps and stuff for Belle and Jean-Luc but I got to take a turn playing, too. It turns out she notices if I skip going through the tunnel just in case it's faster to get the cookie that way. But BOY AM I GOOD on the dogwalk. I charge right across! Then I do my SPOT at the end and mymom is so pleased she gives me THREE cookies every time I do it right. They're not very big cookies but wow, THREE!
She showed me some more stuff to do with the jumps...she says "JumpTurn!" and we turn to do a jump. But it doesn't really make sense to me...I'm only doing what she's doing. It makes her happy though.
A lot of the time we're just walking around the course. This could be really fun, because it's on grass and dirt. Other dogs walk there and sometimes people drop COOKIES. But every time I drop my head to get a good happy sniff, mymom suddenly decides to go in another direction and then she plays the "keep up with me!" game. I like that game a lot--I get COOKIES!--but her timing is so bad! And she never learns, either. I think she should pay better attention.
Still. A whole playground. I like it. *wag*
