ME. EXCELLENT.

I am EXCELLENT. AGAIN.

BAWH!

Mymom took us to a show this weekend! It was BIG. And NOISY. We always set our shelter up in a QUIET place but this WAS NOT. It was hard to think. Mymom kept saying, "Migraine. Migraine. Migraine." She made whimpering noises.

I gave her kisses.

This time we went to do RALLY and then we did a NEW THING called OBEDIENCE. Mymom keeps adding NEW THINGS.

The rally ring was inside a barn. It was nice and cool and quiet and it had SNIFFY SAWDUST on the floor.

VERY SNIFFY.

The obedience ring was in the other direction. There was a park next door and a lawnmower thing that wasn't running right, stop-start-stop-start-choke, and there was wind and there was GRASS.

THICK grass.

LONG grass.

SNIFFY SNIFFY SNIFFY STINKY FERTILIZER SMELLS grass.

It was hard to think.

Sometimes mymom said things to me but my nose took up all of my thinking space.

Oops.

But I was PERFECT ANYWAY.

BAWH!!

Um.

I WAS PERFECT ENOUGH.

I got RIBBONS in ALL MY CLASSES.

GREEN ribbons mean I was PERFECT ENOUGH.

Then I got OTHER COLORS for my perfectness.

Belle tried very hard to be perfect, too. Mostly she was PERFECT ENOUGH. Except for the time she wanted so badly to be perfect that her legs melted when she was supposed to be standing to let the judge touch her in obedience. She didn't get a green ribbon for that one.

I let the judge touch ME. I WAGGED for the judge. I know the judge was ADMIRING MY HANDSOMENESS.

After all the classes, I have OBEDIENCE LEGS. Two! And now my name has NEW LETTERS after it that say "RE" and that means I'm RALLY EXCELLENT.

Mymom says I'm CONNERY EXCELLENT.

She gave me COOKIES.

SHE KISSED MY HEAD.

*wagwagwag*

Hey!

I sniff KACEY.

If she thought I wouldn't notice, she was WRONG.

BAWH!!
