USDAA Bark (I)

It's finally here!! The USDAA competitions!!!

On Sat morn, mommy woke us up super duper early & screamed at us to start packing & be on our best behaviour today. We were gonna watch the USDAA competitions!! Well...what the hell was that, I thot? I was still dozing in my little strawberry bed, yawnzzz. It could stand for the United Shortie Doggy Adventures Association? Hmmm.....oh well, if there's gonna be fun & food, Im gonna be there!!!

So its the Agility competitions!! Im finally gonna see real doggies do agility stunts!! Yippee!!
Oh is that food I see...? Am I gonna get my door gift...? Harlow....Harlow.....




And who else but Mr Baileys! With the man himself--Uncle Smartdoggy! They make a reeeaal tight team and I'm finally gonna see Baileys korkor in action! They always make very cool moves in class & Baileys korkor is a speedster monster! Ooh, I cant wait...Im gonna find moi a frontrow seat!



They wait reeally reeally quietly as the wind blows..... do I sound like a kungfu film or wat? Heehee!



And down the A-frame!!! Ok. Daddy MISSED all the peektures in between the startline and the A-frame cuz that's just how fast Baileys korkor was!! Daddy, can u pleease change ur camera?!?



And then off the table swiftly!! Of course, Daddy missed all the peektures in between again! Arrrghhhh......this is exasperating. Mr Baileys the speedster is reeally tooo fast for our little doggy camera.



Ok. Daddy. This peekture has got to take the cake. Where is Baileys korkor?
Daddy's explanation: Mr Baileys was on the RHS of the peekture BEFORE the obstacle. Daddy snaps camera button. And then Mr Baileys DISAPPEARED!!! He was tooo fast!! So he ended up outside the peekture. Now Yuki, if u look reeeally hard, u wld see Mr Baileys on the LHS, just outside after the obstacle. Heehee.


















It turns out that the competitions were divided into 3 groups, just like a chicken wing has 3 portions! There is the Big-Big doggies, Big doggies and Small doggies category for cuties like moi! Heehee, so what if I'm a shortie! So long as there's a category for moi, I'm happy!!
And I got to see this real handsome corgi korkor compete! We said Hi and touched noses but I didn't have a chance to ask for his pawtograph yet...well, till the next time!




And he could do the A-frame too! And the weavepoles! How dizzy is that!




And a beautiful leap across that hurdles! Look at that cute butt! He has long swishy tail like moi too! I like. Heehee...



Speaking of the Big-Big doggies category, moi thinks this GR korkor is 1 of them. Well, even though he's huge, he does the A-frame & see-saw just like a pro!




Now the next peekture is a "Guess what" peekture. Can anybody tell moi what this group of hoomans are up to? They seem to be blocking the entrance & I cant bark them all away. I wanna go into the ring to play! Are they discussing when they're gonna let all the doggies in to play??
Mommy: Yuki, No!! They are discussing the competition routes. And you're not allowed into the ring! You've already ran into the ring ILLEGALLY twice today! How embarrassing is that? Behave yourself!




How can this filmsy netting stop me from going in??? Daddy, can I pleeaaase go in to play?? It looks reeeal fun!!! Pwweety please?

Today is my 1st day at Pre-Agility Class @ doggy-school. Woah, Im sooo excited!! But wait a min, where's the grass?!? U mean we come to the same classroom to practise, like in obedience class?? Awww....that's boring!!


Mommy, I wanna go to the grass!!

Well, at least there're some new classmates I can play with. Let me introduce them here. Now that's Hamilton. That boy's got big ears, aint it?

And then there's Spot. I like his cute Bob Tail.




And of course, Tiger korkor!! He's a handsome boy @ 10mths old, just a wee bit bigger than moi. And that's his hooman korkor handling him for agility.
Tiger korkor's paws is the size of my face!




We have a new man in the class today, Sparky korkor. He's real special. He's a Border Collie, but shortfur like moi, with handsome markings.

I decided to give Sparky korkor a frenly kiss. Muaks!


And of course, my best fren Tristan came to class!! Yippee!! Dat's him practising hard with his mommy, Aunt C.

Hey Tris, shall we play? [Mommy: Yuki! Concentrate!! ]


Sparky korkor, play play?

Ok, last try! Tiger korkor, play with moi?



Mommy: ADD Yuki finally looks at her toy when everyone else ignores her. Hiaks!

Handsome Tristan didi listening to his mommy, Aunt C.

Then there's Sparky looking at us from his Down-Stay stance. He Actually Stays. I cant believe it! [Mommy: Yuki! Can u learn from Sparky korkor??]
Oh no! Bell ring!!



Pre-Agility Class Part III--Last Lap

After the break, Uncle Smartdoggy made all our papas & mamas stand on a pavement. So we're supposed to learn how to walk properly today & not tug our papa & mama everywhere.


A class photo. See us hiding in the corner? Well, I wasn't too keen on such boring stuff but mommy was hiding cuz she says moi is embarrassing!! Bleah!!




Little Yuki REFUSES to move thereafter!
Yuki: I want Lunch. I want Lunch. I want Lunch.




Pretty Sable jiejie is 3 yrs old. There she is, looking all pretty.
Mommy says she walks like a real princess. And she's real sweet..





That's Max, the Husky doing a peekaboo while his Daddy chats with his Hooman brudder.





Finally, Yuki decides to move her BIG BUTT!





...Only to disturb hamilton..... sigh.





Finally class is over for us pups! Mommy decides to stay behind to let me watch the older doggies do their thing. We were lucky! Cuz we managed to catch Yoyo!! We've actually met him @ WCDR last week and he's real good at his agility stuff now. Hope to see him next week too!!




A new fren here! Oreo, a Blue Merle Border Collie, fren of Aunt C (Tris mommy). Anyways, Oreo's a very very pretty jiejie, all prime & proper. Even her collar & leash matches her furcoat!!




I was all in awe!! Oreo jiejie, can we be frens?






While we were posing prettily, Tristan didi comes in for a sneak attack!! Argh!!




How I wish everyday is like today!!!
Awesome Pawsome!!!

Yuki: Mommy, just think of me as a tissue box k?
Mommy: Yuki! Get off the dashboard!!!




We finally reach the WCDR in 1 piece...hoomans + dog.



Ohmigod! Are those sheeps?!? Mama, can I herd them all???






Yuki: Now I'm quite sure the whitie's a sheep rite?
Mommy: No Yuki, he's a Borzoi. Now if I were u, I will be real nice to them.

But you really do look like a Border Collie. Same color what!



Meanwhile, Mommy plays with a pretty Golden Retriever jiejie.
