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.

go team psycho

on sunday i was a very very good girl at flyball.
i did heaps of full runs and i even did one with my team. and i did it properly too.
after a while though i got a bit tired and it got hard to listen to my mum when she said things.
i got to show off my new harness though. i reckon i looked very spiffy, like a real flyball dog with letters.

my mate jack did some full runs aswell. i am very proud of him. but jack somehow managed to go all the way to a full run ithout doing his big overs over all the 8 jumps. so he is learning that now.

beau is getting good at catching the ball straight out of the box. but he got a bit tired yesterday and kept getting distracted. he is getting good though.

and lucy, wow. lucy is a different dog that she was when i first met her. before she was scared all the time, barked at people is you came near her, and she would run and hide if anything went past quickly. now she is really happy to be at flyball. her tail is wagging and everything.

i can't wait to have another go at fulls runs at a comp. only 18 days left!!!!

wow what a week.

i have had a big week this week. firstly last sunday, we said good bye to my mate mocha and his mum susan. we are all going to miss you very very very much. it's going to be alot quieter without mocha, and with him gone the average dog height has gone up alot, which makes me look even shorter. i really hope they both come back and visit.

next, on monday, mum went away to music camp. she packed up some clothes, her sleeping bag, and her trumpet, which i love singing to alot. i wonder if all the people at music camp like singing to it as much as i do.

anyway, mum was away for 4 whole days and three whole nights. i missed her sooooo much that i didn't feel hungry for 2 days. than i remembered that she was coming back soon and i ate my dinner all up.

while mum was gone, a package arrived. i didn't know what was in it. and i really really wanted to know. packages are exciting.
anyway, when mum got back and opened the package, it had two, brand spanking new, bright purple, FLYBALL HARNESS'.
they are so cool and they arn't big and bulky like my "in the car" harness. they fit me so well and it makes my look really really REALLY fast, like the really good flyball dogs.
there was one for me and one for my brother. the nice lady who made them for us even put my letters on it. C. O. C. O. and my brothers letters aswell. B. E. A. U. she did that so that mum could tell which one is which. i think they are so cool and i can't wait to show everyone at flyball.

but i'm going to have to wait another week.
my flyball friends are at a competition this week in canberra i think. it was too far for us to go aswell and plus some of mine and mums people friends are getting confirmed this weekend (which is saying that you love god in front of a whole lot of people) which is a very big thing and mum wants to be there to support them on their big day.even though i didn't get to go to the competition this weekend, i am going to get to go to one really soon. and ithink that this time i will remember what to do. my friend ebby's mum gave my mum a great piece of advice. and then my mum worked out how to get me to concentrate really really well. she got my squeaky.
i love playing with my squeaky. i only get to play with my squeaky when i am a good girl and concentrate realy really hard. it's so much easier not to get distracted from my "over over over overs" and my "get the ball" when i have my squeaky to keep me focussed. maybe this time i'll get some points, or maybe even some letters to add to my name. mum says that the letters don't make alot of difference and that she loves me even if i never get any letters at all, but the letters mean that you have ben a very gpood girl and did the whole flyball perfectly in front of a whole lot of people. the letters just count how many times you have done that.

anyway, i have to go now. mum is home from work and needs a snuggle.

bye bye.

not again

i didn't get to go to flyball again today because my mum got very very sick. (atleast she didn't have to go to hospital like my friend alex who is lots better now yay!!!)
she wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything,
me and my brother were looking after her though. everytime she was sick again, we would run up and down the corridor until grandma came and looked after her. grandma said. "wow they actually know that you are sick". a duh. we are crazy not stupid:P :P
even though i missed going to flyball again, i think it's fair enough. mum was really really not up to it. and she said that even if she could go, she would make all my people friends at flyball sick aswell. and that wouldn't be very nice at all.
i hate it when i have to miss flyball. i don't get to see all my friends get better and idon't get to say hooray when they do something geat. like my mate jack did his first full run. and i didn't know about it until my mate ebbi told me about it. but it's not the end of the world.

when she was feeling better, my mum made a flyball box. well........ not really a flyball box. it is an old chair put on the ground upside down with a piece of wood on it. but i can still go round and get the balll on it. she is going to us it for practise and for when we cant go to flyball with my friends.

i think it was a bit funny that alot of my friends who couldn't go to the "boorowa" (i'm not very good at spelling) comp and play docters and nurses in the parade, got to play real doctors and nurses. like when me and beau had to snuggle my mum and get gandma when she got sick, and my friends ebbi, molly and big connor had to play doctors and nurses when they went to the REAL hospital to visit alex and her sick eye. atleast everyone is feeling better now.

anyway,
there is a bug in the orner and well, duty calls.

what a big week

we had a HUGE week this week.
last thursday mum turned 16. she had a good time on her birthday, but she had to go to skool all day.
the next day, mum went away to a thing called "black stump" with her youth group at church. she said it is a big music festival. i i think she had alot of fun. i would have. i like music. particularly the violin and trumpet. i would have run around singing very loudly and having lots of fun.
when mum came back from black stump, she was very very dirty and smelly :P
but the next day she had to go camping again for her "jewkes" hike. she was very tired when she got back last night. but she missed us so much that she took is for a walk when it cooled down a bit.
it was really hot yesterday. we were emptying our water bowl almost every half hour. mym ordered our brand spanking new harness' today. before i was scared about them, but now i am excited about getting my own "ready ready ready" harness.
all the doggies who can put letters next to their names have them, and i think it giives them super powers because they go really really really fast and hardly ever drop the ball. wow. that will be me one day.

guess what i did!!!

guess what i did on sunday at flyball!
i did my runs with another dog... and i did them properly.
i am really starting to get this whole putting my "over over over overs" and my "round get the ball" together thing.
it was really cool. now that i know what i am supposed to do properly, now i can focuss on going really really fast.
mum said that am actually starting to pull when i wait to run, so now i am getting a harness.
next week they are going to work out some numbers and out them on a piece of paper to send to the harness lady, who will make me and my brother a flyball harness.
i used to hate wearing a harness. but my friend ebby let me borrow hers, so i can get used to it.
nnow i don't think they are so annoying anymore. particularly because when i put it on, it means that i get to play, or go for a walk, or even do some flyball in the backyard.

my friend cleo did a full run on her own on sunday, and even brought the ball back the whole way.
i am very proud of her. mum says that rob must be feeding his dogs something strange because both cleo and zeus learned really really fast. but we all know she is really happy for them aswell.

bye for now

wow that was awesome

i am sooooo tired right now.
we just got back from kioloa and i had so much fun.
i didn't do too well at the leaving my mum to go over over over over though. it was all the noise. i got too excited and couldn't focus at all. mum says it's ok though and that i'll get it eventually. some of my mates told me some funny stories about their first time at a flyball comp. like my friend kaos, when he first did a run, he ran over the big line in the middle and got a yellow card. and my mate maverick, he got so exited by all the people that he ran over to say hello to them and compleatly forgot about the race. he he. i guess even the bestest flyball dogs have to start somewhere.
the beach was fiun though. we got to run and jump and swim. i'm even not scared of the water anymore.
and my brother beau got to go in the beginners competition and he did reallt well. and we both got a new frisbee... EACH...
t was so fun, and maybe next time i'll be able to get thew race right.
anyway, i am on my last legs at the moment and have to go and sleep before i fall asleep typingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
