The Adventures of Miss Luna

I hope you’ve all enjoyed the posts about LUNA lately, what a little blog hog she is!! Oh well gotta let her have her time in the limelight before it naturally reverts to me again.

Anyway just one more show related post, here’s Luna out in the front yard after coming home from her shows on the weekend, with her ribbons. The ribbons are for winning Best Baby Puppy of Breed.

(Don’t tell her I told you, but the only reason she won them is cos there were no other baby puppy Great Danes entered! hahahah I think that’s so funny.)

I’m back! I think we better start calling this blog ‘The Adventures of LUNA and Kaya’! hehe

Well Mum and I drove a really long way to some dog shows this weekend. She didn’t manage to get anyone to take photos while we were in the ring, but here are some of us hanging around waiting. There was a lot of waiting and it was very hot, so I wasn’t too keen on running around when we finally did make it to the ring! Oh well. Lots of other doggies were the same.

Anyway here’s some pics of me and Grandma and Mum’s friend Tara (Maple’s Mum)…

Yay! I get to do another post by myself! Mum says it’s cos I am getting older and more responsible. I reckon it’s just cos Kaya is getting lazy in her old age… ouch! Kaya! Fine then she’s not old. She’s being generous apparently.

ANYWAYS, not sure if you guys knew this, but I am a show doggy! Mum’s never done it before me but she wanted to give it a go so we are both learning as we go. We can’t just turn up at shows and do it though, we need to practice! One of the things we practice is the ‘stand’ or ‘stack’.

I have to stand like this so that the judge people at the show can see my conf… confer… conformation!! Which basically means what I look like and how I am put together.

After we stand and the judge examines me, we get to trot around the ring so he can see how good I look when I am on the move! I like this part the best I think.

We do lots of practice at home to try and get me in just the right position. I like these sessions cos it means I get lots of CHEESE!!! Which is my favourite ever treat, yum!

We have a show coming up this weekend so here are some pics of me and Mum doing some practicing…

I stare at the cheese but make sure I don’t grab it before Mum says I can have it…

Yay! I was good, so I got to have some cheese…

More staring at the cheese! Mum moves it all around and I have to follow it with my eyes, just to make sure I am concentrating!

Well FINALLY I get to have my own post again – and on the flash new blog! I think Kaya was being a bit of a hog, don’t you? Blog hog! Anyways, here is the story of when me and Kaya met Maple!

Maple is a Cocker Spaniel and belongs to Mum and Dad’s friends. They came to stay with us for the night and we got to play lots! Maple is only 4 months old (I’m 5 months) but she acts like a big dog – she wasn’t scared by us at all!

She was HEAPS of fun so I let her climb all over me. She had very sharp little teeth though! This is her standing on my head. I really didn’t mind, cos she is such a cool puppy…

There’s only a month between us! You wouldn’t know it! I am so much bigger. Kaya was doing the annoying worried older sister act. Pfft. Like anything could go wrong. Worry wart!

Having a little rest from the fun…

I can fit almost her whole head in my mouth if I try! Kaya definitely can. That’s a fun game! The humans looked a little worried but they just need to chill out. Us doggies know what we are doing!

I tried hiding from Maple but I’m just too tall, and she’s just too smart! Kaya told me later that when you hide, you have to hide all of your body, not just your head, cos they can still see the rest of you even if you can’t see them. Hmmm, good advice. I will take that on board.

Kaya even let Maple climb all over her too! Maple sure likes biting. I am told she will grow out of it though so that’s ok.

Wow, Maple is really little. I wonder if I was ever that little? I wonder how big she will grow? Such a funny little thing!

Mum also took some video of us playing with Maple, so you can see how good we were with her! I hope we get to play with her again soon.

OH and you can also see more photos of us and Maple from when we went to the beach the next day! Just check out Maple’s Mum’s blog post Life is Good and The Spit.
