The Adventures of Miss Luna

Mum says we have lots of shows coming up soon, so tonight we had to practice standing. I would much rather practice lying down on the couch, thank you very much…

We went outside tonight instead of in our bedroom, Mum said it was good for variety. All I think it was good for was getting my feet wet, it had been raining! Anyway we did the regular stand thing, I got my cheese…

This time I even got a little back massage! Mum said it is to try and make my back relax a bit and my back legs go bendier. It felt kinda nice!

I was a good girl and even stood there when Mum walked away! Now that’s what I call talented!

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!
