Meeting Blue

This morning I had agility as usual. No photos or videos today as I went on my own as lazy dad wanted a lie-in! Anyone would think it was the weekend or something! My teacher Tracey says that from Wednesday I am moving up to the highest class in obedience, eek! I think the first lesson will be tough while I find my paws and get used to the new dogs, but hopefully I'll soon get the hang of the tougher lessons.

After agility we headed back out to meet my pal Blue! She's a lovely lady who has been visiting my blog for a long while. She was coming to Swindon to meet up with a potential new dog, so her and mum arranged for us all to meet. This was the first time meeting any of my bloggy pals, how exciting!

Here's the handsome Thistle who will soon be Blue's new boy, isn't he handsome? Blue will be back to collect him in a couple of weeks so I look forward to meeting him then, and hopefully lots of times after that too!


We met here at The Tawny Owl pub. I used to come here when I first came to live with mum and dad so it was nice to go back. The staff couldn't believe how big I got! A little girl came to play with me while we were waiting for Blue, and mum showed her how to make me do "bang", so she was very pleased with herself!

When Blue arrived, her and mum got on straight away, natter, natter, chat, chat. I got lots of snuggles and pets. Soon the rain started and as the hoomans were still yapping away, we went back home for a cuppa (well, not for me!).

There are some photos of mum and I on Blue's blog, and here are some of me and Blue! She's such a lovely lady.


I look forward to seeing you again in a few weeks Blue. I'll introduce you and Thistle to Seven Fields (weather permitting!).

Oscar, I am so impressed that you are moving up to the highest obedience class! What a guy! I bet within a few weeks you will be dazzling them and they will have to create an even higher class for you.

Hey, Oscar!

Ya wanna hoist a few pint's 'o Guinness at the Tawny Owl? They got stout, right, mate? We Irish cottage-dogs can't go long without good company and a bit of the nectar-of-the-gods!

Blue looks quite ravishing.

ok, what's with the hoomans & lie-in. I don't get it. They talk about wasting time at work but lie-in is not?!

Oh btw, do tell your mommy there will never be enough bags & shoes a lady can own. Go for it! (that's from my MaMa, if I were you, I won't be telling her that. 5 years without treats?! U gotta be kidding me.)
