31.12.2007 - 1.1.2008

Family Trygg from Rauma has invited us to visit them. We did our evening walk well before the bombs and fireworks started to bang. Fortunatelly there were quite quit inside the house, but we were overnight in our caravan trailer. There were much more bang sounds. Mistress gave permissions to me and Bitti to jump their bed. It was quite tight for all of us, but more secure than sofa in front part of trailer.

24. - 26.12.2007

We stay Christmas Eve at home. At Christmas Day we visited mistress's home and at Boxing Day master's home. We got presents in every place.

7. - 8.12.2007

Our mistress's workplace arranged "Advent Partys" (avec). Because those party were on the other city, mistress asked her brother to took care of us. This is a very first time, when they left us "alone" overnight.  

First thing to do, was to taught  he to our habits. If he watched TV, he should smooth us at same time. We want our meals at sharp time. It was pity, that mistress has written to a memory sheet, how much we have to eat!

At night we missed mistress and master. We didn't let our sitten to slept well.

20.10.2007

It was first official agility competition for "böö-Bitti". I Wonder how Bitti will manage this, because he didn't can all obstacles properly.

How ever it went quite well! From his first track Bitti took some errors (denial + "fly see-saw"), but got result.

I got also two errors, but ran faster than Bitti (fortunatelly). I have trained and competed before Bitti has born. I got second prize. Bitti was fourth.

Biggest change was, that we moved from our home: left secure & familiar places, jogging paths and most important: our peaceful own home! Moving to blocks of flats didn't well for us. Next spring we will move again to our own house, where our master and his father do building works now. Also our mistress is there most of her freetime. Fortunatelly she remember to give food for us and walks with us.

We have trained little agility. I have took some races also (made funny for all spectators). 
However I have got my second zero result, which has been waited long time. We were also at AgiRotu. Bitti race there also the relay start.

Below are all happenings from the first part of this year

Watch result

I and mistress competed at Rauma. We left Bitti at home. I had no race feelings...or had too much. I enjoyed my funny tracks.

I have allways known that I am more handsome than Willy. Now I think that master and mistress has understood this, because they left Willy at home, while I went to the exhibition.

I waited long time, maybe it has been nice, if Willy has been my company there.

At the ring I had to wait long time also. The judge cannot decide his evaluation fast.

Now our family packed our caravan trailer. It means that we will start a trip after a long break. I and Bitti were enthustiatic, because master and mistress share their time to us in our trailer.

Bitti didn't know, that he will have his very first agility competition on this trip.

WILLY'S RESULTS

I rushed with full speed at first course. Mistress didn't give any sausage to me! 

On the second course I did my best.

I got extra big sausage portion after this competition. This was our second zero result in first class.

New walking paths, new smells and new practical jokes.

Fortunatelly master and mistress have some time for our agility training.

Bitti favourites are shreding cardboard: toilet- and kitchenpaper rolls. Other cardboard and newspapers suits well also.

Bitti think that he is now adult, because he had oen year birthday. I think that he is still baby. He has to suck his comforter verery day.

In teh begining of May Bitti exercised his singing skills. We have spring in our chests, because there were so much nice smells in the soil.

Mistress were surpriced, because we got invitation to agility Turku Tour –final. In this unofficial competition all classes competed in the same group.

Master and mistress has spoken long time that we will build a new home. They have planned and sketched it again and again. We didn't understood what this mean.

Big change was, that we moved from our home: left secure & familiar places, jogging paths and most important: our peaceful own home! They haven't asked from me and Bitti any permission. Moving to blocks of flats didn't well for us because there were noise and people much more than in our old home. Next spring we will move again to our own house, where our master and his father do building works now. Also our mistress is there most of her freetime. Fortunatelly she remember to give food for us and walks with us.

We don't see our master very much. Mistress has been also much away from home. We have "tender and smoothing lack". They only build "new home". 

We were at Lieto competition with our caravan trailer. On the first track we got DSQ. Then we  up and got prize on the second course.

We have birthdays following days. So we kept partys at same day. 

Where is our cake? 

The race went quite well. When I jumped away from dog walk too early, because I found the tube near by it. Mistress commanded me back to order, but the wrong track is near to us.

We have a little hurry, because race started delayed. Immediatly after the race we started to drove to Riihimäki. There were Finnish Kooikerhondje Association's year meeting. I and Bitti stayed at our trailer. After the meeting Sanna and Kristiina visited us.  

I didn't wait starting permission from mistress. I rushed to the track so fast that master's video camera didn't started yet. I choose the wrong end of tube! Mistress let me continued, but after the half way I again made my own decisions. Then she took me away from the track.

There are clever people at Pori museum! They know how important dogs have been for humans. There were an exhibition "Bark through the history". I (Willy) and misterss were on the video and photographs in this exhibition. The video was from our agility competition and photographs from our dogdance. There were also photos of my dogfriends.

There were white cold snow on the ground. It didn't slow down us. We did a trip to forest.

Bitti: Willy took part to Lieto agility competition at 17.2. After the race we continued to Jämijärvi. I had there exhibition. At Jämijärvi we almost were stuck in the snow. The parking place was so soft.

After "building our camp" we got evening food and went to smell new smells.

Willy stayed at our trailer, while I had my exhibition. I met there my breed friends.

Finally it was our turn. I was afraid that I will slipped, because the floor was so slippery.

I stand correctly on the table, but why I have to stand on the floor also! I liked to sit down. Master should gave sausage bits faster.  

I boasted to Willy, that I have met nice kooiker girls. Willy gave me some disciplinary action.

After lunch we continued to our home.

I (Willy) went with my family to a weekend trip. I and mistress had agility competition on Saturday. Bitti stayed in our trailer. Mistress expected better result, but she got bad migraine before start. I ran wiht my own track! It was DSQ.

Second track was a jump course. Judge gave a denial to me. However I was not went beside the jumping line! The slalom is boring! There were too much poles. I got error from slalom.

After the race we drove to Jämijärvi. There will be an exhibition next day. We ate a fast lunch on the Hesburger. I and Bitti got also small bits of hamburger. 

Willy think that smoked bone was best. He ate it many hours.
Bitti like to tear open packets. He think that it is nice to got many packet, not so interested what was inside.
