Oh, Be Dense!

Today was a Big Day in our house. It was my first day of school! Instead of taking writing (cuz I don't have opposable thumbs, Mom says), I'm taking Novice Oh-be-dense for Agility.

There were several other doggies there, and when the oh-be-dense lady started talking, so did I! I barked a lot, and then Mom and I got put into the corner. The lady said we were cutting down on my stimuli, but Mom said I was being "the stereotypical rotten teacher's kid".

The lady let us out of the corner and gave Mom liver treats to put in her pocket. We walked around a chair and the lady told Mom to give me liver treats.

Then I sat on my new red mat a lot. Then we walked in circles some more, and then Mom had me walk in a circle around her. Then the liver lady took me for a walk around the chair and gave me liver and told me I was a good girl.

It was a furry good class. I think Mom is getting the hang of how to give me liver treats. I kept losing track of what I was supposed to be doing, though, cuz Daddy kept moving at the other end of the room, and I wanted to go play with him, since I wasn't allowed to play with the other doggies. (He and Mom talked after and he's going to down-stay at home next time.)

Mom says we have a lot of homework to do this week, like walking beside walls and around more chairs.

I don't care where we walk. I'm pretty sure Mom will get the hang of it eventually.

I just want more liver.
