Buster gets his Bronze!

I have been a very busy boy and it has taken me ages to find the time to update my blog. So, what have I been up to?

Well, firstly I have been awarded the KC Good Citizen Bronze Award at my training classes. I was on my best behaviour that day and my mum was very proud of me.

I've been to a few local dog shows and won myself some rosettes. I entered an online dog show and won 1st prize for Most Handsome Dog. I'm proving to be extremely good at agility (although I'd apparently be better if I'd learn to listen and contain my excitement) and my family would like to find me some fun classes to attend.

I have settled into a nice routine at home and it feels to all of us like I've been here forever. Even the cat doesn't seem to mind me much anymore. In fact it's now been over 10 months and we will be having a big celebration at the end of August when I've been here for a year.

I shall be coming back to visit everyone at Foal Farm during the childrens summer holidays.

Lots of licks to everyone there.

Long time no see!

I can't believe it's been over 2 months since I last posted. I have been very busy and time has just flown by.

I did enjoy the snow we had a couple of week ago. It was so deep that it covered me completely, and I had to jump like a lamb to get through it. We all went sledging and had great fun. The snow clung to my fur in snowballs but I didn't care. As soon as they'd been cleaned off me, I went straight back out for more!

I have a new friend. His name is Toby and he's a 4 month old Pomeranian puppy. He was a bit shy when we first met but within minutes we were playing and we didn't stop til he had to go home. The picture above is of me and Toby - dont we look happy?!

We have started clicker training and I'm really enjoying it! Now I understand better what my family are asking me to do. I have learnt lots of tricks. I can sit, stay, down, rollover, give paws (both of them!), beg and do "high 5". And someone once said I was untrainable!

I still attend training classes and really enjoy it, as does my mum. We are thinking about joining an agility class when the weather improves a bit. My family say that I am mostly a very good boy, although I sometimes have selective hearing when it comes to recall. They also say that they want to work on my behaviour around the chickens so that when Summer comes maybe we can all be in the garden together. I can't help it, I just find the chickens soooooo exciting, especially when I run at them and they flap about.

I've been with my new family for almost 6 months now. They say they are so glad they found me and I won't let on to them, but actually I feel the same!
