Corgi Frap

Life is good.

The water has receded to "major flood" stage or at my house we call it out of the front yard. Russ had some good exercise yesterday and he preformed like a rock star at our focus and heeling class last night. And I am happy to report neither tried to take me for a walk this morning, and Music only took 10 minutes to find her spot. Life if good!

We came back from our morning business session and Music is a Cardi on a tear. She wants to frap and frap hard. She jumps on Russ who is needless to say surprised by the whole affair but doesn't miss a beat before joining in the fun. They romped and played and good time was had by all.

The picture was taken a couple of days ago because all the shots from today were too blurry! They are currently passed out in their respective favorite spots--Music the bed with her head on my pillow and Russ Russ on the futon. Life is good!

Muddy Roll

Cross your fingers, but I think our river has crested. There is water water everywhere, so walking dogs is a challenge but it is possible to find a dry path to green grass. However, everything is soggy and well frankly a little muddy. Okay now you have the backdrop.

Russ can smell mud, levitate to it, and be rolling before I can blink. So here is how our walks go--Russ leave it, Russ get out of the mud, walk a little, and then repeat the sequence. To make matters worse as soon as we get back to the cottage, he has taken to rolling his yucky self all over the carpet! Yep, in Russ' mind floods are the best!

More Things I don't Get

Russ here.

It's been a while since I have been able to wrestle the computer away from my Mom so I have a lot to say.

First, the river I live on has calmed down but Mom still says "No Russ." She said she is going to buy me a wading pool, but has she gotten to it yet? No! I don't get it. Where are her priorities?

Second, it has been raining a lot so there are great mud puddles, but Mom says, "No Russ." Can you even believe it?

Third, she took another Cardigan to a dog show, and didn't let me show. I was so mad that I stole a whole bag of dog treats. Mom caught me though and said--you guessed it--"No Russ."

Fourth, we are taking this Rally class together and it's all work, work, work. I am a guy who likes to have a little fun--so if Mom loses her focus I take advantage. Mom has really learned to stay focused.

Fifth, Mom says we have a new puppy coming in 3 months and that I am going to have to be better at sharing her attention. Ha!

Sixth, Mom got new glasses because I Corgied the old ones. She has been really good about putting them in the case, but I am a patient puppy. Today I noticed that she left them on her book when she went to pick up the baby. I got 'em, but she caught me before I could corgi 'em good.

Oops here comes Mom and she doesn't think much of me drooling on her computer.

Russ out!

Mississippi River Bank Roll

We are getting ready for a flood at our cottage, so today some friends were helping us pack up. Russ did not think much of this strange behavior, but finally decided that while humans engage in weird behavior there is little he can do to change it. So he decided to do what he enjoys most at the river--roll in gross stuff. Check out our You Tube Video of the "roll". http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=SeAh70_6iUY
