Literally came out just as some cabinet ministers walked thru and i had to skip them to attend to him 😂 Fur almost grown back. Also happy with me stroking his back near the scar. Very much a happy chappy.

9,000 followers!

Apparently, 9,000 people are interested in my retirement.

I don’t know how this happened.

I mostly sleep, eat cheese and supervise wildlife.

But I’m very pleased you’re all here.

Thank you for following my adventures from our little Scottish island. ❤️

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a nap scheduled.

My friends, HuMum says it's a special day today. That's why I got a special breakfast. Apparently, I'm 7 years old now. Don't know what that means, but I want to turn 7 every day! Please excuse me, I need to focus on my breakfast now 🤤

Day 1 of the dog show is over.

I was not a rockstar in my first class, Rally Excellent level. I only scored a 73 out of 100. I think a longer walk in the morning might have helped get me ready as I was in the early classes, but it was still dark and baby rottie Kenji took forever to find somewhere to go 💩. I redeemed myself by scoring a 99 out of 100 in the advanced category. But that was only enough for 5th place. When there's a tie it's broken by speed and we're just not the fastest. But 99 made my human awfully happy and I got extra chicken!

Kenji was really really good. He scored a 94 out of 100 in both novice b and intermediate rally obedience. There were a few spots where he got distracted but that's to be expected. The lower levels are for dogs that are still learning, and he's definitely the youngest one competing. In intermediate they start adding distractions like a bowl with some treats in it or a toy. He really wanted to go check out the toys but he was a good boy and didn't. Most of his deductions were just slow to respond because he was a little distracted. But his scores were good enough to get a fourth place in intermediate and third in novice. One of the maneuvers he has to perform is doing a circle all the way around his handler in a clockwise direction as she turns around a right corner. Because these levels are done on leash, most people would pass the leash behind their back, but our human doesn't have elastic arms and can't reach that far because of the wheelchair back. The solution is to drop the leash as he goes around her, and then once he gets back on her left hand side to have him pick it up and bring it to her. That makes it a little trickier for him than most dogs but again, he was a total Rockstar! He paused and picked up that leash and then hurried up to get it to her hand before they got to the next sign.

Let's not tell Kenji how proud I am of him though. I'm pretty sure his head has grown at least another inch in diameter this past month and it's because his ego is inflating. Tomorrow he has an extra busy day. He's doing a pre novice obedience test first thing in the morning, then he has his novice rally, and intermediate rally. Meanwhile once we get to the showgrounds, I can nap in my crate for a while because I get to go later in the day.

But right now, it's the most important time of the day. Supper time. Followed by a well-deserved nap.

Once upon a time in Japan. He loved the stories grandma told him. He wondered what would be like to live in the stories to see a green dragon with golden eyes, a mischievous rabbit and the invisible woodpecker.
He is now on my shop. #art
