Finally

Posted on 29 August 2010

It has been over a year, but a lot has happened in this year. And Eiji and I didn’t had to energy anymore for the site. But everything is calming down and we’ve started again. As you can see the layout of the site is changed. I decided to use a new script. The other was getting to troublesome to update.
I’ve placed some new pictures of Eiji in the media section and more are coming. Most of the site is up and running. And more new pages are coming like a medical page of Eiji, friend pages,…
I also promise that Eiji and I will try very hard to make the site more active again.

Canicross – trail 1

Posted on 21 August 2010

Today was the day that I would compete in my first cani-cross game. The location was Poeke, not to far to where I go swimming every fourth night.
When Shunka, Katinka, Jessica and me arrived we noticed that it was very hot. But that wouldn’t stop us. We went to the place to register and had a quick medical exam. When we were going to the table to pay our entrance, I was attacked from behind by a border collie who was hiding under a table. He tried to bite me, but luckily only a bit of hair was wet.
After paying, we went to a little stand to pick up Shunka’s new cani-cross equipment and there I was nearly attacked by a dalmation. That started to scare us a bit and angered Katinka and Jessica because people clearly can’t control their dog.
To get rid of all our tension, we decided to walk the one of the roads of the game and to decide where Jessica would stand to take pictures.
After the walk it was almost time to start, and Jessica and me (my game was later) decided to position us at the side in the beginning so that we could go back very quickly to the finish.
The first dogs started running and after a while, Shunka finally passed us with Katinka. But after that we didn’t move, because they would pass that point once more before going to the finish. After they passed the second time, Jessica put away her camera and we started walking back. Every time a dog would pass, we went more to the side and Jessica didn’t let me watch the dogs by turning my back. But this wasn’t such a good idea. Suddenly we saw a dog passing another dog and he tried to bite the other dog. So Jessica decided to go a little more to the side, but it was all for nothing. The dog lashed out and but me a couple of times in the back. Both Jessica and I were very shocked and we can’t remember which participant it was, because otherwise, we would have told the organisation. After we finally reached the start, we started searching for some disinfectant alcohol. We found some soon and after letting 3 vets take a look, everything was alright. But Jessica decided that I wouldn’t participate anymore. It will be for a next time so that I don’t have to many bad experiences on one day.
The end result: I have now a couple of puncture wounds at a pretty delicate place. I’m tired from all those annoying bugs and I’m off to bed.

How to tease your owner?

Posted on 17 August 2010

Everybody who’s reading this, get your dog and let them read this! It can be very important for him or her.
Step 1: when you want to get your owner’s attentions during a walk, start walking very slow. This will slow everone down. If you’re owner doesn’t suspect anything, then go even slower until you’re at a standstil. Then start eating grass until she notices.
Step 2: during the walk, start walking very closely, so that your owner can pet your head. If that doesn’t work, start walking behind her and start rubbing your noise against her legs and when you can go true the legs.
Step 3: this one is only when the rest isn’t working. Jump against her very enthusiastically.

Obedience like no other

Posted on 12 August 2010

You think you’ve seen it all, but it isn’t so. Today is with Katinka and Shunka to the agility lesson as Shunka’s supporter and to help her eat all the treats ^_^.
At another field, there was a class obedience. And suddenly they were in a dilemma. One of the persons there needed to learn how to walk your dog on the right side. And believe it or not, not one of the dogs in that lesson was able to walk right, they only know left. So, when they started asking around it seems that I was the only one who could do it without a problem. So the trainer asked if that person could practice with me.
The funny thing is, I don’t normally follow obedience.

Today was a busy day and it was over before I knew it.
I started the day with a walk with Jessica. Immediately after that, she started brushing me. When she was finished with me it was almost noon and Katinka came with Shunka.
All for of us went to Tom & Co because there was a photographer present. After shopping and waiting it was finally our turn to play model, but we soon realized that the pictures wouldn’t be anything special. After Shunka and I posed, Katinka and Jessica went to computer to view the pictures. It has never been such a bad batch op pictures of me. Most people say that I’m an easy dog to capture (especially head shots) but even those sucked. So when we left the store, we were all pretty upset and then it started raining.
After we got home, Katinka took me away from Jessica and we went to her house to get her bike. Then Shunka and I started running next to Katinka (who’s on the bike) to dog school.
There wasn’t a lot of dogs and people present at the school, so even I started doing agility. And everyone thought I was pretty good and should start doing it again. The only sad thing is that me rewards can’t be treats T-T.

Romeo & Juliet

Posted on 07 August 2010

This morning I had a very romantic moment with Shunka.
I was walking at one side of the park with Jessica and Shunka was walking with Katinka at the other side of the park. Jessica and Katinka didn’t go to eachother, so Shunka and I looked at eachother until we couldn’t see eachother anymore.
After that I looked begging at Jessica, but she wouldn’t let me. I hope to see her later today to make up for moments lost.

Blaarmeersen

Posted on 06 August 2010

Today has been a day lots of fun and trying to get out of things.
In the afternoon, Shunka and Katinka came after me for a quick walk to a pet shop. But I really didn’t want to, so I hurried to Jessica who was sitting in the couch and jumped on her and laid down my head so that no collar could get around my neck. But it didn’t work. Jessica pushed me down and Katinka put my collar on. While Katinka was still talking to her mother, I tried to look as sad as possible so that maybe they would feel sorry for me and let me stay home with Jessica. But this also didn’t work.
When we got back from the shop, Katinka, Shunka, Jessica and took Jessica’s car and drove off. We picked up a friend and then went direction Ghent.
When we arrived there, we started looking around for another friend, Zoomi. I can get along with him as long as we don’t look each other to much in the eyes. I don’t like doing that with other males ^_^
And then we were off to Blaarmeersen. It’s a big recreation park with lot’s of sport activities for humans, but in the evening, there aren’t a lot of people and then you can walk around easy as a dog. And ofcourse, swim a lot. And that’s what I did: swimming! By the end I was soaking wet and started running around like crazy to get dry.

Mushing

Posted on 05 August 2010

I tried something new today: mushing with a dogscooter.
And it is fun as long as Shunka isn’t pulling and Jessica is running in front of us ^_^

Natte neuzen

Posted on 01 August 2010

Today I went to the Natte Neuzen day at Beervelde. This was as a replacement for the ‘Hondsdolle dag’.
I went together with Katinka, Shunka en Jessica. We went in the morning so that it was still cool and not a lot of people.
We’ve played all the games a couple of times and had lots of fun. In the chicken run I was faster if I was running with Shunka than running alone.
I love doing agility, but when the runnel was due, I tried to play tricks with Jessica ^_^

After a fun morning full of games, we went direction Assebroek. There we met up with a friend from Katinka and an older beagle. There we did a walk of 7km. But because we thought that walk was to short, we decided to take another direction. That walk was supposed to be a circular route, but we didn’t find the turns and because we didn’t find the right direction, we decided to go back.
