Private school

The school is over again and now I have summer holidays! The last day at school was really strange because nobody else was there, not even my teacher. My master called her to ask what was going on and she said that everybody had been so capable that the last time wasn't needed (we, who had missed some lesson, would have an extra and I missed one because of a dog show). Anyway, my teacher offered a private lesson if my humans wanted and they did; most because they like my teacher as much as I do.

Some days later she came and I became so happy that I even rolled about when she asked me to. Actually I don't like this exercise and never do it otherwise, I even know that my humans have given up hope that I ever would do it. Then we took a walk down to the lake and I still was so happy that it was really hard for me to focus but I tried. My teacher Kim let me seek some sausage pieces she had hidden on a tree, later she wanted me to jump up on a stone. My mistress is used to do such things with me too and I like it. Finally Kim showed my mistress some exercises I have done with my master at school.

Back at home the humans drack coffee and talked about everything and nothing. They talked about school too, mostly about lessons in hunting but even about a follow-up course in obedience. I hope Kim still wants to be our teacher and I'll meet her again in autumn.

Dog show in Avesta

Dog show in Motala

Now I've been in Motala with Inger and slept over in a hotel before the dog show because I had to be there early this morning. We did well:

Things I've done this week

I've been at the veterinary station again. My throat is ok and the ears quite ok. Unfortunately I need to take those eardrops some more days and I really don't like them. I even gave some blood for rabies test and hope I'm allowed to travel outside Sweden soon. The veterinary surgeon Sara is really good - she managed to get the blood she needed without shaving my paw. It wouldn't be good to come to a dogshow without nice coat...

In the evening I took a long walk with my mistress. She had strange boots with wheels and could walk much faster than she's used to. I would have liked to run more but my mistress didn't think it would be good for me since I'm still quite young.

This week I went to school too! This time there was a bucket of water with some tennisballs in it because my teacher wondered if we would have a wet ball in the mouth. I love both water and balls so I did it. To be honest, I discovered the bucket a little too early and took a ball from it before my teacher had explained what to do.

After the school Inger came to take me to the dog show tomorrow. I'm excited...

My minimaster

Bad luck

No school today because of a flat tyre :-( We were on our way to the school when my humans said the car sounds strange and we have to return. Some people we passed on our way looked at the car and we understood something was very wrong. Back at home my humans discovered there was no air in one of the front deck which even had been deformed. Unfortunately we were running late already so humans decided not to take the other car instead. I'll have to wait one more week to see my siblings.

On next Sunday there will be a dog show in Motala and Inger wants to go there with me. Exciting... it will be the first time for me to participate officially. I'm not counted as a puppy anymore because I'm 9 months old!

Sick

Today I've been with my mum and grandmum, we took a walk on the countryside and played. Then I started to cough and Inger decided to take me to the veterinary surgeon. I have sore throat and fungus disease in my ears so I got penicillin and some eardrops. I need to see the veterinary surgeon again after 2 weeks and she'll also take a blood-test then to find out if I've got plenty of antibodies towards rabies so I can travel to Estonia with my humans in summer.

Unfortunately I have to rest 10 days now and won't be allowed to play much with my sister whom I would visit on Sunday. I hope Inger decides that I can go anyway, I don't need to play with Duffy that much...

EDIT: I got to play with her!!!
