Meeting readers…

Howdy blogaroos. Squirmy the wild child Wormy here- after our amazing Team win on Saturday. Which I’m embarrassed to say was not with much help from yours truly. What can I say? It was an olfactory extravaganza and my pin brain completely exploded. KaBOOM. The Warden found herself apologizing to the judge after it was over – I looked like a dog who never had a single obedience lesson. The only thing that saved me was the fact that I was on leash. Yuppers. I would have been off chasing the porcupines in the fields. We could even see them! Not to mention the fact that a few dogs had “accidents” on the course ….what dog in his right mind can pass up a good whiff of pee-mail? That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

On Sunday, the Boss and I were pretty tired – and so was the Coyote after two days of solo guard duty. That’s a LOT of falling leaves to bark at all by yourself.

Meanwhile, the Warden left us and went to do one of the most fun things that she gets to do since we started writing this blog. She got to meet two long time blog readers from Ontario who were visiting Nova Scotia for the first time – Nora and David. AND she got to meet their canine kids – a perky, puppy named Poppy, and a very pretty PON girl by the name of Sofie!!! How much fun was THAT?! Perky Poopy is a love – but of course the Warden’s heart was completely stolen by Sofie. After two days of competition with us PONs – she automatically tried to get Sofie in position to do some heelwork. Sofie was a very willing participant – because the Warden just so happened to have some treats in her pocket. Sofie has never competed in Rally – but the Warden thought she had lots of potential! I better watch out – or I could be voted off the Team!

As I mentioned, having the opportunity to meet blog readers is always so much fun. Over the years, the Warden has met readers from numerous countries – and she now calls many of them close friends. Kinda wild how a crazy dog lady from Nova Scotia and the wild canine kids who own her have been so fortunate to make so many connections. We thank each and every one of you who reads about our adventures – and we hope to meet more of you! The Warden said her visit on Sunday was like spending time with old friends.

Time to get the Warden moving. Oh – guess what I’m going to THIS Saturday? A Distraction workshop. How TIMELY is THAT?! THIS is going to be VERY interesting. The Warden better double up her blood pressure medication before she goes…

Have a good one. Peace and paws up. Stay safe.
