Hail ta the Champion.....my friends......

Hi ya Bloggies,

Yep...I say Hail ta the champion.....my friends...........

She'll chase those rats right to the end.........

Now who would the champion be....ya might ask me.......

Well, as usual it's my Mom....

Last Saturday August 20, 2011, my Mom passed her 3rd and last qualifying senior earthdog meet at the Wester Pa Earthdog Club in Donegal, Pa.

Ya have ta pass the Senior Earthdog test 3 times ta get yer Senior Earthdog  title and so this was the one that really was important.

 There's the earthdog judge with my Gram 'n my Mom after she won the 2 ribbons.

One fer passin' the test

and the second one fer gettin' 'er Senior Earthdog title.

 See there's those 2 ribbons Mom won last Saturday.........

She's always showin' off.......

Not funny Mom.....not funny at all.....

 

 Now there's all the ribbons that my Mom won........

2 fer passin' Junior Earthdog Tests....

'N one fer her Junior Earthdog Title........

3 fer passin' 3 Senior Earthdog tests....

'N one fer gettin' 'er Senior Earthdog Title....

 

Here she is showin' off with 'all 'er ribbons......

Fer some reason, she sure doesn't look happy....

But then that flash beastie drive her nuts so she won't look at it.........

That's what the entrance ta the Senior Earthdog tunnel looks like....

It's 30 feet long with two 90 degree turns in it, a false den and a false exit or entrance 

which ya better not go in cause ya get failed. 

It's only 9 inches high and wide.

My Mom goes right in cause she knows the rats are in there 'n she wants ta get 'em....

Too bad she never gets ta get 'em cause they are safe in a little cage at the end of the tunnel.

But she sure has fun tryin'.....

*********************

Now ya may be wonderin' why I....Dewey Dewster do not have any earthdog ribbons......

I'm still tryin' ta figure that one out myself.....

Cause I'm a master hunter.....fer sure.....

Just watch what I can do.......

'N here's me....the Vermin Hunter too........

 

Ya can see that I know what I'm doin'.....why I'm chasin' a Vermin....

I know there's vermin in that wood pile 'n I want 'em.

So Gram promised me that next year, I get ta try ta get my Junior Earthdog title ........

It's along story why I didn't get ta try this year 'n last too......

I'll explain later.......yes siree.....

So a BIG CONGRATULATIONS TA MY MOM, ASTA MARIE

JUNIOR & SENIOR EARTHDOG !!!!!!!!!

If ya want ta learn about Earthdog, Wikipedia has a good explanation.

********************

To anyone who is in the path of Hurricane Irene....stay safe....stay dry......stay indoors....

We hope that it's all over soon.....

This is Dewey Dewster reportin' on my Mom's big day.....'n Gram's promise ta me fer 2012......

so I can be an earthdog too.......

Window Watchin and Terrier Antics

Well, here we are, me and my Mom, on our usual perch.....window watchin. Sometimes its me and Toby up here too. It is our most favorite spot in the house.....except for the upstairs bedroom window...cause that has a super view of the front of the house, the street and across the street....why you can see forever. You can see the neighbor cats, the mailman coming and other people walking their dogs. But it's the cats and other dogs walking by that really gets us riled. But then you can probably tell that from the following video.

Let's Talk About Art..........

My Mom bought an egg on the website eBay
And I just wanted to share it with you all today.

See the wiry fox terrier full of such fun.
I know you will think he's a real special one.

Do you see the foxy, just lookin at you?

Where there was one, now there are two.

My Mom thought two terriers were cute as can be,

When “The Terrier Two” became “The Terrier Three.”

Now we were admiring and not keeping score,

When the terrier three had a terrier four.

And to our amazement, “Great Foxies Alive!”

Those four little foxies gave up number five.

They’re all nesting eggs and aren’t they just sweet.
Five foxies , five sizes, five faces to meet.

We enjoyed each expression and then they were done.
They all nested again and then there was one.

.

These eggs are real special to my Mom and me
And the author’s not Dewey, it’s Asta Marie.

Now wasn't that much more refined than anything Dewey posts?

This is Lady Asta Marie Foxwire reporting for the Wire Fox Terrier Network, WWFT, from Pittsburgh, Pa. Back to you...........

Terrific Triple Tuggin Terriers

Tuggin is a lot of fun. My Mom really doesn’t want to tug much with me lately, even though she spent a lot of time teaching me how to tug in the first place. See Toby and me tug while my Mom watches?


Now that Toby has joined us, I get to tug a lot more. A little while ago, Koobuss sent us all some really swell toys and the bunny ring makes an especially great tug toy. Sometimes now even my Mom wants to tug with us.


Look at us go!!!!! Ya gotta get a really good hold on the thing to make sure you can maneuver around. Of course, ya need to growl the whole time too. I know ya can’t hear us, but believe me we are really growling. Grrrrrr, grrrrrr, grrrrr


If you do this right, no one looses their grip on the toy and you can move around the room growling and tuggin the whole way. Now that's Tuggin 101. Great fun!!!!


Of course, all that work gets you really tired and you have to rest a spell. That gets you ready for the next big tug. Neat, huh? Later, guys……zzzzzzzzzzzz
