What went well today?

1. We played Susan's Retrieve Game first thing this morning.  I got a bit distracted by the squeaky but for the first go at this Mum was pretty pleased with me.
2. Had a lovely walk on the beach doing some retrieving of the tennis ball from the sea.  Charlie and Barbara came with us too which was fun.
3. Mum sold a painting.

Plan for tomorrow:

1. Watch Retrieve Video again and check the list of games and choose five of them to play over the day.
2. Practise trick routine.
3. Have a good relaxing walk.

Oh and here's the video of my first attempt at this particular retrieve challenge:

Oops - Mum has missed a day or two again but I forgive her.l

Best thing happened for her yesterday was the H360 Coaching call.

Best three things that went well today.

1. I went to the Rest Home with Mum and everyone loved me.  I was also very well behaved and Mum was so proud of me.  We kept being asked to do cop-cop - seems to be a crowd puller that trick.
2. Then we went out for a walk with Ponto, Percy and Dylan. It was lovely and sunny and warm.
3. When we had had a rest back home we played the first Blueprint games in the garden. Mum has videoed this but has not watched it yet.

Plan for tomorrow.

1. Blueprint games.
2. Get the painting ready for the guy picking it up.  Mum was glad she sold this one as it has funded lots of fun training camps and stuff for next year.
3. Practise our trick routine for the upcoming fun show "Best Trick" class.

What went well today?

1. I have perfected getting in a suitcase.
2. I ran and jumped onto my Mum's back and she managed to crawl along with me still there.
3. I did my ringstack all the way through in order to get a yummy treat.

Plan for tomorrow:

1. Mum is going to continuing making her video of us for the H360 Course.
2. We are going to agility training at Amy's and I always love that.
3. We will practise the suitcase, ringstack and jumping on Mum's back and cop cop to make a short trick sequence for at a fun show on 22 November.

Mum missed doing the blog on Saturday and last night because we had a visitor, Alan, for the weekend and yesterday we got up very early and drove him back to London so we could look for his cat who had disappeared on Saturday evening before his girlfriend went to work.  Luckily Kitty came back after we wandered around calling him.  After that we went for a walk under the river to Woolwich, we sat and had cups of tea or coffee at a cafe, then did some shopping, then walked about three or four miles along the River Thames to Greenwich.  At Greenwich we went for a ride in the Emirates Cable car over the Thames.

Along route I did some lalas, waits, sit pretties and other fun games.  I looked out over London on the Cable Car and then because we had walked a long way, we took the Dockland Light Railway back to where Alan lives.

The drive home took us ages as we decided to go through Central London and there was an awful lot of traffic and masses of people, however, I was so tired I slept the whole way home.

What went well today?

1. I can now put the coins in through a smaller gap in my money box.  Mum is very pleased as I picked this up easily, but then I am very good a my ringstack and can also balance a ball on a cone so this type of thing is familiar to me.
2. We played contact games, running along a thin long flat plank in the garden.  Alan, my Mum's youngest human child came to visit (he is a grown up) and he held me lightly in a restrain while Mum called me.  Loved that game.
3. I also went for my walk to the beach with Percy today and we played on the sand.

Plan for tomorrow:

1. A long walk for me on my on with my Mum.
2. Practising the little routine we are going to do as "best trick" in a show near the end of November, including the suitcase.
3. Have a quick weave game too in readiness for the trial on Sunday.

What went well today?

1. This morning we had loads of fun in the den, there are some videos of what we did below.
2. Then we had a lovely walk and I played check check and lala round some posts and trees and Dylan and I both played "on" on a tree stump and then some retrieve on the playing field.  We also met our friend Charlie while we were out.
3. Mum bought me a money box when she took her Mum out for lunch today.  It is a tin shaped like a London bus.  At the moment she takes the whole lid off and I pick the coins up from the floor and drop them in.  The first time the noise startled me for a moment but then I realised I'd done good 'cos I got a nice fishy reward so I did it again.  Now I am expert.

Plan for tomorrow:

1. Mum is going to make the entry to my new money box a bit smaller so I will start to learn to find the hole to drop the coins in.
2. Play matwork for our contacts.
3. And, of course, we'll have a lovely walk where we will also play retrieves, waits and all sorts of other games.

Just look at some of the games we played for breakfast today:
