One Exciting Weekend!

Wow, we had the best weekend! We went to the Atlanta Terrier Club picnic and it was so much fun! The best part was the Earthdog practice area, I went nuts for the rats as usual...and as usual, I got so worked up, I was worn out! Riley went after the rats in their cage but didn't like going in the tunnel. I, however, ran right into the tunnel and started barking like mad at the rats. Dad tried recall and I did well until I backed into the corner and out I popped! I was so excited and hot that mom took me down to the river...aah, the Chattahoochee River, so cold, it felt great on my tummy!
Mom donated two packs of cards for the raffle and people really liked her designs (that didn't surprise us though!). There were a lot of people there this year, so we got to see a lot of dogs and we didn't give them too much trouble! I barked at a few, but that was it, nothing like when we're in our neighborhood. There were so many dogs that wanted to try the Earthdog, we had to wait a while which was frustrating! ;) At the end, Riley and Dad came down to the water and Riley went swimming! We weren't even looking and all of a sudden there she was, swimming around (on her leash of course, they can't trust us off our leashes)! Mom was upset that she forgot her camera - she really wanted to take pictures of us in the river. We'll have to go there again...
Oh, the one bad thing...we had to get baths when we got home. We love wading in creeks and rivers but hate baths! We were really dirty, but still! We're still pretty tired today...not too tired to leave the birds alone, but tired nonetheless!
