a big worry

on thursday, mum's friend Sam's dog ran away. they are getting a pool and the big dusty work men left the gate open. and axle ran away. we were all very worried. sam called up my mum to tell her what had happened. they had searched for him for a whole half a day. if i had to do that much walking i would be exhausted. but i guess if my brother went missing i would walk that much to find him.
on friday morning, me and mum went looking for him. we walked up to the big scary vet to tell them that axle was missing. then we walked all the way back. when we got home mum called sam to find out if axle had been found. and guess what. he was brought back on thursday night. i was so happy to hear that. apparently we walked all the way to "dullitch hill", because we wanted to get some ham from the shop that he likes. it was very silly of him and i hope he knows it. i hope his sister Lolly gave him a good talking to. thats what i do to my brother when he runs away.

on saturday my flyball friends went to do flyball in a big scary competition, but we didn't go. mum had to work and she also said that i needed a bit more practice before she spends her pocket money on a comp again. i hope my psycho friends had fun at the comp.

my next real comp will be at the easter show, which is in march. that means that i have about 8 weeks to practice. i just have to remember that even though my squeaky is with mum, i need to go and get the ball and trade it with her before i get it. it's hard to remember. especially with all the noise and dogs barking and everything. we have a practice just for fun competition before the easter show. so hopefully i can be all ready by then.
also guess what. my brother beau is coming to the easter show as well. he is so fast. he doesn't worry about going away from mum to get the ball, he just forgets to bring it back sometimes.

lots of noise and bikes and everything

hi again.

this week was alot about bikes. on thursday, grandad took my mum up to the shops, and she bought us A TRAILER!!! it is so exciting. mum used to ride her bike with me in a bag on her back, but when we got beau we couldn't do that safely. we couldn't go to the park unless grandma or grandpa took us in the car. the trailer will be so cool. but it was made for babies, not big doggies like us, so mum had to put in a new floor etc.
on friday, mum took us for a walk into the shops area of ashfield with sam to take her bike to be fixed. i was a little scared of all the noise again, but after a while i got heaps better at being a brave little girl. i couldn't get my tail to wag, but it wasn't in between my legs anymore. which was good.
on monday, mum took grandpa's bike up to be fixed. he is doing alot of exercise, and i've noticed that there is a bit less of him. which apparently is a good thing because there is a bit to much of him. later on on monday, mum got a call saying that he bike was fixed. so again she went up to the bike shop. he bike "actually changed gears properly now". gears are i think the things which make funny noises on the big wheels.
on tuesday, mum and grandma went up the the hardware shop to get some things for our trailer. i'm not allowed in the hardware shop because mum says that i mught cut my feet or get squashed by something heavy. mum came home with a big piece of wood about 10 times the size of me, a piece of flat string with a buckle, some funny looking nail things, and a bag with some new 'chizzels' in it.
wednesday was very loud. as soon as it wasn't to early, mum started making alot of noise in the backyard. she was hitting the chizzels into the big piece of wood until it made some rectangles in it. and she sawed and she chizzeled, until... she had made a new floor. it fitted perfectly. the rectangles arn't finished yet though. they need to be a little bit bigger.
mum also has to fiz the fence at the front or the house, because my brother keeps trying to go running when he is not allowed to. i bark at him and tell him not to, but he does it anyway. sometimes i wonder if boys actually have brains at all.

anyway, i have to go because mum isn't making noise anymore and needs a good snuggle.

see ya.

long time no see.

hi everybody.
sorry i havn't written in a long time. my mum was in germany and i don't know how to turn the computer on on my own.

alot has been happening since i last wrote.
i went to another competition. it was the twilight comp. it started in the middle of the day, then went till very very late at night.
i said to myself, this time i am going to get it right. but when i got there, i just completely forgot what i was supposed to do, and didn't leave my mum to go and get the ball. my friend ebbi had a talk to me and said that i am not allowed to give up. she said that that very day, marked the two year mark of her being a psycho, and that even though it may take ages to get it right, that it will happen, and that i'm not allowed to give up. i reckon, if ebbi didn't give up, then i'm not going to either.

i really missed my mum while she was away. the family went on a holiday, and when they got back, i looked and looked for mum, but she just wasn't there.

when mum got home, i could hardly believe my eyes. she was back. me and my brother were so happy that we didn't run up and down the hallway going crazy. we just sat on her and licked her face and snuggled, wagging our tails until we could wag no more.

something very exciting came when mum got back.
mum bought a trailer to go behind her bike wheel machine that she calls a byk, so that she can take me and beau to the park and to flyball, even she grandma and grandpa can't drive us in the car. she still has to make it it doggy friendly and get the things for stopping fixed on her byk before we can go anywhere. but it is so exciting.

i can't wait to go for a ride in it.
