Good Morning!  

By Edison Shelfoon on Wednesday, March 25, 2009 8:55 AM

It's raining outside and my paws may be wet, but, Spring is finally here.  Being a terrier, I’m a thinker and I will always find or create an activity to fill my day. 

Over the winter I wasn’t allowed to take toys outside and my friends rarely came over to play, so, I had to make due and make my own fun.  I found projects and created my own games –Remove and Run with Sprinkler Soaker Hose, Scatter Firewood and Rocks throughout the yard.  I  unknowingly  included the landscaping crew in my games, as they are the ones that will restore the soaker hoses, firewood and rocks to starting positions.  Edison's own Economic Stimulus, if you will, creating more jobs.   The birds are back - Red ones, Blue Ones, Grey and Orange Ones - they all sing a different tune.  Michelle tells me that they are Cardinals, Blue Jays and Robins. I hear them every morning, like an alarm clock, calling me to play.

Hi Ho! Hi Ho! It's Off To Rally I Go!

WOW! Rally is FUN, FUN, FUN. We signed up for Rally on a whim, without even looking at the Brochure or Class Content. Last night was the first class and we ran through about 20 Command Stations.

Thursday is Rally Day

Today is Thursday, for the next 6 weeks, to be known as Rally Day.  Thursdays are usually Training/Date night with Michelle and tonight is the first Rally Class. What is Rally?  What Will I be learning? Michelle has yet to share.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I want corned beef!  I'm learning all about this holiday and of course, with most holidays, there is some sort of special food and decorations.  Dad took me to lunch and did not share his Reuben.  Mom has assured me that we will have corned beef before the day is through.  Many good things come in the color GREEN... Money, of course and 4- leaf clovers in the lawn.  Our friends, Dayna and Paul are celebrating their anniversary today. 

Stay tuned for more of my day after the corned beef and silly green hat that I have been promised.

Today,  Michelle and I went shopping for a backpack at REI in Northville.  REI is the only place that stocks Ruff Wear dog packs in the area and it's not even a dog store.  Strangely enough I am a Size Small.  Regarding the back pack  I'm not sure what it is for but I think she's going to load me up with stuff for my adventures.  PSSST!  Don't tell Mom that I already know how to open this contraption by pulling on the tab to open the zipper.  I hope she fills it with goodies.  YUM!  It seems to glow and reflect as you can see, so hopefully people can see me in the dark.  The local cheerleaders stopped by collecting bottles and assured me that I look very handsome carrying my pack.

We also stopped in at Petsmart in Northville and met Craig, the regional trainer.  Craig shared a lot of information about flyball and we met 2 of his champions.  Craig is hosting a seminar in Ann Arbor this weekend at Ann Arbor...

I just cannot seem to get this squirrel out of my yard.  I bark, I jump, I circle, and still he persists.  I think he's mocking me with his idle chatter.  Back to the drawing board. There must be a way to get that cursed squirrel!
