IN TRAINING

Well,per usual we are way behind in our reading and will catch up with all of your gossip as soon as possible. We have a pressing issue here at house of A+A. PL2 reminded me of something. August 8th is a very big day. Why you ask??? EARTHDOG!! YIPPEE!!!!! Now my next level would be senior earthdog.That is like going to Harvard for your Masters(your PhD would be Master Earthdog..PL2 says I will never make the Masters because you have to go into the tunnels PAIRED up with another dog..and that will NEVER happen...unless it was Archie but I don't think your coach is eligible)Now Senior Earthdog is the same length tunnel but there are some tricks to it, and I have never practiced in that kind....so.... PL2 said maybe I should just do my J.E. tunnel(which as you all know is quite challenging enough.)That's great PL I am WICKED excited!!!
UNTIL I realized it was in A WEEK and I have not been practicing AT ALL. and we have uhhhmmm been eating ice cream and stuff....so Archie said Lets go.........we have to cram in 2 months of practice into a week(but the pressure is off because I am no working for my E...just doing it for fun..Next year I will try for my S but that will be another story all together.....

So off we went to our training grounds......

So Archie started out by checking out all available digging sites....

I tried to help but he was screaming something like I AM THE COACH HERE AGATHA.......
OK here I go at my first dig.....concentrating... thinking of my little friend at the other end......






Next stop? The next site my coach thinks is a good training place.......





OK stop digging for one minute coach said...run around this section doing crazy zoomies

Next in my training triathlon,the swimming event....I as your coach will monitor from above.......( he hates to get his feet wet really..)

Here he HAD to come into the water because he said I wasn't doing it right. I don't know what he is talking about really because I was taking a break a playing this little game I made up which is pat the water with you paws and watch the water come spurting up....

OK he said ENOUGH OF THIS BACK TO THE DIGGING..I will show you how it is done......

And this, he said, is how you should look....

Ha... check out my black tongue.....

Wait is that a coyote I hear????



Well I can assure you I WAS POOPED but I think I am in shape( but no ice cream for me until after the event...) Here I am practicing next years winning speech after I get my S and my E( for Senior Earthdog) PL2 said she is not really sure but thinks to get your SE you have to go through the tunnel about 4500 times or something like that.... so we'll see.....)
