Tom and Sally are off to Hawaii, taking in sites like the
Wai'po Valley. Meanwhile, Daisy has decided to reveal a repertoire of super-canine skills, previously unbeknownst to her parents:
- Balance an eel on the tip of her nose, Father William style
- Compose and perform guitar ballads full of suspended seconds
- Sleep uninterrupted, save vigorous squirrel dreams, for thirteen hours
- Solve the mystery of 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42
- Make banana pancakes
- Rescue three small children from riptides, and simultaneously block their sandcastle from waves
- Dig a CO2 sequestration pit big enough to end global warming
Being a modest dog, she'd probably rather I didn't tell the world about her deeds. Good thing she can't read.

Maggie competed in her first rally obedience trial (!!!!!!) and...well, we got a non-qualifying score because there were too many scents in the grass for her retriever nose to stand, and as a result she was snuffling along in the dirt, and not really paying a hell of a lot of attention to me. BUT she did manage to complete all 13 exercises. And we know what to work on for next time. YA HA! My trash can girl is finally like a reg'la show dog! And people said it couldn't be done. Have Daisy write us a triumphant march--and I'll keep you posted on future exploits in the ring.
Wow - that's an excellent accomplishment. I can understand the pull of scented grass, too. I'll speak to Daisy's aunt about the march.
We did another trial. SHE was perfect. I made the disqualifying error. She needs a better handler! :-( Hope Daisy, and you, are enjoying the summer. MBB
