Presenting......Miss Agatha J..........EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN-HAMMIES,,KITTIES AND PL'S........I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT MY SISTER......THE ONE... THE ONLY...........

MISS AGATHA JUNIOR EARTH DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


YES SHE GOT HER E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me tell you , I do not know how much more I have in me here...... I was a nervous wreck(being her coach all the pressure was ENTIRELY on me......)



I will let her take over........ Arch and I didn't sleep so well because we were a little nervous.....and we got in the back of the car and were ready to go..............(ha ha notice how my side has all the nose marks)




Arch thought PL1 was taking too much time .......

On the way PL1+2 stopped here for a quick break( you know what I mean......)ARE YOU KIDDING ME????WHY ARE YOU TAKING A PICTURE OF THIS?????


AND A PICTURE OF JOHNNY FLIPPING APPLESEED???WE HAVE TO GET GOING HERE....(as you can see our nerves were a little on edge....)


OK so we finally got here( thank goodness there were no more Johnny Appleseeds along the way) and arrived here........

Now I was getting a little nervous.....but you will never guess who came and calmed me RIGHT DOWN......Can you see who it is??????
TOFFEE AND RILEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!( Toffee is giving me REALLY good tips here....)
Her Mom taking a picture of her....... Strictly for Eric.......



Gulp.....Then I saw the table where you first go........




These people are looking very official and stern......


Archie said we better have one more going over everything before get going......

OK....I did a little quick meditating to calm myself down just like Archie taught me......



While I was doing this Archie was checking out the competition.......

Oh boy check out this kid...She started some trash talk like they do on the basketball court,but I was prepared because of Arch and let it slip off my back( MAJOR HBO WORDS HERE)
Ohhhhhmmmmmmm..........

OK here is the J.E competition board......I was 105
Now Arch didn't tell me until later that now he got really worried because of the letter E on my number(look on the bottom left of the 105 ID tag...the E is really little and not fully formed...Archie thought it was a sign .....oh brother....)(um the IQ 3 is not my IQ it is introduction to quarry my warm up run .......)


OK....here I am with PL2 at my warm up run waiting for my turn....I was shaking I was so excited.......PL2 said all she could think about was how was she going to get me out of that tunnel without killing herself...)

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE.....as they say in the boxing world!!!!!
Well I FLEW
through intro to quarry and had to rush over for the Junior Earthdog competition..PL1 and Archie got a movie of us walking out...( You can hear Arch ,the excitement was almost too much for him....)



We couldn't take pictures at the actual tunnel but once again I USED THE STEALTH BOMBER technique....quiet,quiet,quiet then BLAM attack attack attack...The Judge said he didn't even know I was up there I was so quiet!!! Then the Judge said that he thought I wasn't going to get it because you have to "work the rats" as they say in the business,which really means GO CRAZY and you have to do it for a certain time period and I stopped......2 seconds to go....but he said I had been going so crazy I HAD TO CATCH MY BREATHE!!!!!!!!!!!!Here we are coming back......VICTORY!!!!! and with an E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




I THREW myself on the floor next to my coach......THIS IS EXHAUSTING!!!!!!!






AND IF THAT WAS NOT EXCITEMENT....who do you think came to see us afterwards?????? Can you see him????? Not sure who it is??????


NORWOOD AKA sometimes Mr Bezerko( a kid after our own heart)



Archie was stunned......IS THIS REALLY NORWOOD?????????

We all played the hot dog game for awhile.....what a great game.....you try to catch it in your mouth Norwood rules on this)


Then Archie saw this STUNNING wire named Bella,,she is a bit of a show dog and wins all kinds of things.......when she walked away( looking over her shoulder at him, Archie started to cry.....) Norwood came to the rescue and dragged us over to the pond for a swim.....



Ok not only did I see Toffe and Riley and play with Norwood and go swimming...BUT I GOT PRIZES!!!!!

I got this lovely glass(the Greater Boston Earth dog Club) which I am going to give to PL1+2 for being such good PL's.....

And this key chain( THAT IS THE GIRL BELLA ON THE KEY CHAIN!!!) gotta give this to Arch.......
A lovely bee stuffie which I am going to give to Archie my coach.......
This is mine all mine...A RAT STUFFIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is Coach Archie and his assistant.....


I got my E, chased the rats, played with my DWB pals, won prizes, swam, played the hot dog game......Does life get any better than this??????

We'll be telling all our friends Agatha's got her E!

Kess And Her Mama said...

Well done Agatha (and Archie, the coach of course)! Great job. Looks like you'll need lots of ZZZs to catch up on. So, come over and check out what I've tagged you for!

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanley's Place said...

Oh Agatha!!!!! We're on our way!!! I want to try a new therapy on you leggie...in case you got a bit of a strain today with those RATS....first Scruffy is going to do a sport's massage and then we're gonna play poker...I've heard it can do amazing things for your joints. Now tell Archie that I've seen pix of that Miss Bella chick and they've been in the zine, National Tattler etc. Also I was in the bathroom at the park with Mumsie one day and it said right on the wall of the stall, "For a good time, call Bella." I'm sure that it's the same dog.

I'm not sure he should even use the keychain....it could easily corrupt his high moral values.

If you could toss a couple of lobster stuffies in the pot or even open a can of soup and let the lobsters play poker, I'm sure we can make do...Stanny's starving...he always is....he can have a piece of toast with peanut butter if that's ok....

CONGRATS GIRLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Love and kisses...Lac

Sally said...

Congratulations! We knew you could do it - those Rats don't stand a chance. You had a great coach too - sounds like a fantabulous day!

Lots of licks

AGATHA! That is so exciting! You must be beat. I wicked bad wanted to go but momma made me choose between agilities and watching you and, well, the thought of the A-Frame won out. Maybe next time.

Good coaching is important. I could hear Archie giving you pointers.

Hey A and A
You should've stuck with me. I had a great time on Mt Wachusetts. We were both super tired afterwards but it was a really nice hike.

Archie the trick to the pose is to keep the tip of your toe on the ground. And.. of course I only do it for hot dogs.

Jake of Florida said...

Agatha JE!!!!! We are so so proud of you!!! What an amazing day -- as you said, DWB pals, a rat, a title, prizes, sibling togetherness, you had it all, girl!!

And in the midst of all that, you still found time to think of breaking us out from camp.

What a girl!! Wahoo, let's hear it for the Agster!!!

Wirey love,

Jake and Just Harry

William Tell said...

Congratulations, Agatha! We're so proud of you. I like your motto, Saving the World One Rat at a Time. hee hee

You and Archie really need to come visit us here in the country and go possum hunting some night. I think you're well qualified to give them a run. :)
