Bailey's Turn on Flashback Friday

Hi Everyone!

 

Bailey here... 

 

joining Ranger for Flashback Friday

 

This is one of my very first photos

after coming to live with Mom & Dad

many years ago!!

 

 

So

 I want to tell you about

a special surprise I got last week

 

A package came for ME!!

from my girl

Gracie Lynn

 

 

She sent me a letter with her picture

so I could see her pretty face

everyday

 

 

And this special nightlight

 

 so I can have sweet dreams of kissing

my sweet Gracie Lynn

 

And that's not all

 

Gracie sent me some fresh breath mini bones

so I will always have

 fresh

kissable breath

 



 

Thank you my beautiful Gracie

I love everything

 

 

do you know that Sarge is hosting a

Date Day on Sept 7?

 

Gracie my dear

Will you be my date??

 

love

Bailey

Finished Project

You might remember awhile back

when I was helping Dad dig a hole

The hole was for a new flagpole

 

Well the new flagpole is in

 

and Mom planted flowers around the base

and the rock with our last name

 

 

and

If you are wondering why there is a

fence around it

 

Well...

 

it's to keep me out!

 cause I think the bark is fun to chew on.

Pug Wheelin'

 On Saturday Dad decided I should learn

to ride on the 4 wheeler so we can go for

rides when we are camping

 

 

Dad has some suspenders that hooks to his binoculars

when he is hunting

 

he hooked them to my harness for safety 

 

 

 OH MY PUG!!

 I AM NOT TO SURE ABOUT THIS!!

 

MOM!!!!!

 

 

Dad took it real slow

and drove down the driveway

and back up the driveway

 

 

OK lets go again

 

 I'm starting get used to it

We went down and up three times

OK Dad

 I got it now

 

 

   it's my turn to drive

 look at me!

I'm a 4 wheelin' pug!!

 

 

 

One more thing to tell you today

Green Ribbons

 Ok Everybody

I know we left you hanging so

here we go

 

Most of the pictures are from Saturday cause one

 of the grandpeeps came along with us

 and ran the camera

 

Each morning we were in the Beginner Novice Class

 

 

First we do a short heeling pattern

following the signs

 



 

Forward, fast, slow, about turns and halt.

 



 

Then a figure 8 around two peeps

The lady in red is the judge

 

I also had to sit nicely and let

the judge touch my head

 



Next is the sit stay in the center of the ring

while Mom walks all the way around

 

Then Mom tells me to stay for the recall

 

 

She calls and I come running

 

In the afternoon we were in the

Rally Novice class

 

Rally is kinda like a road course,

we follow the numbered cones and

do what ever the sign tell us to do.

 

 

It's lots of fun and not as formal as obedience

Mom can talk to me and

use her hands and body language

(no touching though)

to guide me through the course

 

It was very hot butt

Mom kept me cool with my chilly pads

 

 

So

 

 back to the title of this post

 

GREEN RIBBONS

 

Although it is nice to win a blue ribbon,

and they do award for 1st thru 4th place,

the green ribbons are the important ones

 

A green ribbon means that you earned

a qualifying score that counts toward your title

3 qualifying scores in a class earns that title

 

To qualify in obedience you need

at least 170 pts out of 200

 

To qualify in Rally you need

at least 70 pts out of 100

 

So without further ado

V

 

V

I qualified all three days in Rally Novice and

earned my RN title, finishing Sunday

with a score of 95 and 3rd place!

 

I qualified Fri and Sat in Novice Obedience

with 3rd place Fri and 4th place on Sat

Sunday I bailed on my sit stay cause

there was a stick over in the corner

I just had to check out

What can I say?

 

 

Like I told you Monday

What a Great Weekend!!!

 

love

ha ha I am a nurse dog!

Mom and I spent

 Fri, Sat & Sun at a lovely park

 

with some of our friends that we train with

The park was the site of 

a three day  Obedience / Rally Trial

 

 

We were entered in two classes each day

 

Beginner Novice Obedience

&

Rally Novice

 

Mom and I are heading to the ring

it's almost our turn!

 

 

Can't wait to let you know how we did!

Flashback Friday & Joke Day

 

 

 

 HA HA! This is me!!

little did mom know that

somepuggy this cute could be so naughty

 

Mom and I will be gone most of the day

we will try to check in with everybody later

 

 

so we leave you with a funny!

 

 

 

Little Harold was practicing the violin in the living room

while his father was trying to read in the den.

The family dog was lying in the den,

as the screeching sounds of little Harold's violin reached his ears, he began to howl loudly.

The father listened to the dog and the violin as long as he could. Then he jumped up, slammed his paper to the floor

 and yelled above the noise,

"For Pete's sake,

can't you play something the dog doesn't know?!"

A Pug, A Pig and Raffles!!!

 

 

Not much going on at our house folks

cause Mom is sick so I am just

hanging out with my piggy friend

 

 

Butt...

there are some more exciting raffles going on to help

our Frenchie Furiend Benny

 

 

Over at

The Three Little Pugs
our good friend Stella Rose is celebrating
her Gotcha Day by filling up an
IOWA MYSTERY BOX
and raffling it off to help Benny
Read on to find all about it

 Mom and I thought and thought and thought all weekend about what we need to do to help Benny, Lily and their Momma and we came up with a IOWA MYSTERY BOX.  See Saturday is my gotcha day and we decided to celebrate this by filling up this box with items ONLY found here in IOWA and mostly items from the LOCAL ARTISANS.  Did you know we live in VAN BUREN COUNTY IOWA and if you read Midwest Magazine we are often featured in it as a great place to go and relax, AND do a little shopping.  We have 7 villages with lots of local artists...so what the heck...we are asking them to donate an item to our mystery box and we will send it with us taking care of the shipping.  We are so sorry our friends that do not live in the USA cannot participate cos of the shipping cost.

Each day we will give you a peek into what item we have added to the box and some info about the artist.  Sometimes it will be a little item ...sometimes a bigger item.  Sometimes we will have a big story ...sometimes a little story.  We are raffling this box off at $10.00 and your name will go into a hat, and MOM said I Could pick the name out since it is my gotcha day present.  Folks, it will be well worth the $10.00!  So, put your starbucks money up for the week, and keep your treat monies handy and bid on this box for our friend Benny!

You can send the money to FUND ME at Benny page, or send Stella's Mom an email at simpson_long AT yahoo DOT com letting her know you will be sending her the money directly.  We are going to be picking the winner on August 23rd ....stay tuned.

 Stella gave us a peak at the first item yesterday!

that item alone is worth the $10 ticket.

 

and that's not all

Mollie and Alfie

PRIZE ONE.….. A MOLLIE OR ALFIE BOX..filled wiff super gift’z and treat’z….

Be a Responsible Dog Owner

 

 Scoop that Poop!!

 

Today we are participating in

Scoop that Poop

Blog Hop

hosted by Sugar and Gizmo

 

 

We all know that sharing your life with a dog

comes with responsibilities

and one of those responsibilities

is cleaning up your dogs waste

 

 

 Clean up starts at home cause we like to

have a clean yard to play in

and we don't want company that visits

to worry about what they might step in

 

 

 This is what Mom & Dad call

The Poopy Bucket and Shovel

 

Usually twice a day Mom or Dad scoop our poop

and put in the poopy bucket

 

 

 

When we are away from home

it is still Mom & Dad's job to clean up after us

 

One Dog Makes A Difference

is where I take training classes

 

and this is my tote bag we take with us

 

It has all the stuff we take to class

 



 

 

One of the most important items,

besides water and collars and leashes, 

is the poop bag dispenser

so Mom can clean up after me

 



 

 

Mom even keeps a poop bag in her purse

just for one of those emergency times

 

or she sticks some in her pocket

when we are out for a walk 

 

so we can leave the area
as clean as we found it.
