A Wonderdog Week!

Sorry it has been a little while since I updated everydoggy. It has been a wonderdog week, though!

Last Saturday, Mom put me in the car and we drove west. At first, I thought we were going to my old PLV (Pretty Lady Vet), but we drove past it and then stopped at Sheldon's Point Park. There we met Scouter-Bill and we went geocaching! Mom had always wanted to try that, so when Scouter-Bill said he was going, Mom said she wanted to go too. And since it was an outdoorsy thing, she decided to bring me along! We were out walking for about three hours and we really had fun!

Since then, Mom and I have gone geocaching by ourselves a few times (even this morning in the rain!) and although she gets a little frustrated when I want to look at something else while she's looking in the bushes, we have fun together!

On Chewsday, Daddy came home from work early and took me for a walk in the woods up near the university. (When Mom got home, she asked me if I found the geocaches up that way, but I had to tell her no. My GPS -- the Good Piper Sniffer -- only works for food!)

We had a really good time walking. I love spending time with my daddy in the woods. I love to run and check things out as much as possible.

Then on Thursday, we had Jillity! We couldn't go last week because my foot was hurt and Mom had a migraine, so Mom was worried we'd be a little bit behind. But considering I hadn't even seen the dogwalk before, and that the A-frame was flat on the ground last time I saw it, we did really well!

We have to work on our homework this week, too. Mom has taught me to "touch", but now we have to work on "target". (None of the doggies in my group last week could do it, so I didn't feel quite so bad.)

My very favourite pieces of equipment, though, are the chute and the tunnel. Mom was a little worried that I'd be afraid of the chute, since I couldn't see where I was going, but Daddy had a good point: I sleep under the covers! I don't poking my way forward until I find my way out.

Daddy tried to take some video of me doing Jillity but the camera didn't want to cooperate, and then all the dust got in the way. Here is a video capture of me going over the A-frame so you can see I really did do it! And here is the video (Daddy put it on YouTube).





Oh, and before I furget -- fangu for all the good thoughts and ritchewals for healing my foot. I'm all done the Annie-Buy-Oddics, and I see the new PLV (Pretty Lady Vet) on Monday for the "all-bedder-now". (Mom says I'm also going to get shot. Or something like that.)

It sounds like you have been having a lot of fun Piper!

I have been wanting to try geocaching for a while now. It you say it's fun, then I will have to try it.
