A brother...

I have a new brother. His name is Charlie and he is a Border Collie. He is 3 years old. My owners adopted him from Temora, New South Wales. He's settling in just fine.

My first dog training lesson...

I went to dog training on Tuesday night and I loved it. I was so excited that I couldn't help but jump around when meeting the other dogs. The instructor gave me lots of tasty treats - my own food seemed so boring. I learnt to come, look at my owner, give up my tug toy, go to my bed, walk on a lead and my favourite, I completed an agility course. I'm looking forward to a week of tasty treats as I practice all these new commands. And I certainly can't wait until next week's training lesson. I get to go off the lead in a tennis court with all the other dogs.

Beagles in my backyard...

Well, the beagles arrived yesterday afternoon. I spent all day bonding with them. I'm very keen to have a play but they just don't seem too interested. They've just got their noses to the ground - sniffing. So I made up my own games including hurdles (where I jump over big Ted or Reg). I'm having a ball!

Meeting the Beagles and a visit to the dog park...

Yesterday, I went to Linear Park and met Teddy and Reggie Beagle. We had a great time and got on really well. I can't wait to have them stay at my house for 2 weeks while their owners go to China.

Today, I went to the dog park at Golden Grove with Theresa, Gavin and E. I jumped some hurdles and ran through tunnels. I had a great time with the other dogs and made many friends.

A bone!!!

My owners gave me a marrowbone today. It was so large. I ate it all afternoon. I felt like I was in doggy heaven. Yummy!

My new toy...

Today my owners bought me a soccer ball. I've been very well behaved lately so it was a nice treat. I couldn't get enough! I'm so excited - I can't wait to play with it again tomorrow.

Trip to the vet...

My owners tricked me into thinking I was going for a walk when they put my leash on. Instead, they bundled me into a car. I didn't want to go - I had to be carried. My owners took me to the vet to have my stitches removed...it wasn't so bad and the vet gave me a treat.

Later that night, my owners' friend, Tasha, came over to meet me. I was so excited that I jumped all over her. My owner threw me out of the house. I immediately showed my discontent by dragging the blanket from my kennel and wrapping it around the stump of a tree. That ought to show who's leader of the pack!

Update from Molly...

Today I dug my first hole. My owners weren't very happy but I was very proud. It didn't seem to deter my owners enthusiasm for spoiling me. They bought me a new bed - my third to be exact. I now have the choice of lolling about in my kennel or on one of my two beds...one for indoors and one for outdoors. Very comfy indeed!
