I can swim!

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 18:13:03 PST

Mum and dad have found a nice swimming hole for me where there aren't any waves. I still don't love swimming, but I had a go. I got all 4 legs off the ground and I did a few laps. I prefer the seaweed on the beach. I'll do some more though I reckon.

First show for the year

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 18:10:19 PST

I've just had my first show for the year. Mum was really worried that I'd be naughty like last time. She was very nervous. She said I was a good boy though! I didn't really want to run though. she said we're going to have to practise that bit.

Been Very Busy

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 18:06:41 PST

Sorry I haven't updated things in a while. I've been very busy. My mum and dad took me away for a holiday with the other 2 kids. It was great. We had a big yard to run around in and we were near the beach and the river. Mum took me for a walk every morning. I was still a bit too scared to go for a swim though. Mum said she will keep trying.

Me with my mum

This is me with my mum. She doesn't like having her photos taken, but she said she liked this one.

My first big all breeds show

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 13:34:33 PST

I went to Adelaide on the weekend for my first big all breeds show. I got to see my friend Jacqui again. I was a very naughty boy though. Jacqui wasn't very happy with me. She told my Nanna Di that I was naughty too. Think I'm in trouble. My mum had to show me. I was a fairly good boy on Saturday, and won my class. On Sunday I was being naughty again. the judge said she liked me, but I was a bit too naughty to win. Mum says she's going to sort me out. Jacqui has taught her some stuff and we promise to do our homework and make her proud next time she sees us. Mum said that Nanna will sort me out if I don't behave. Not sure what that means. I'll try to be good.

How clever am I?

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 13:27:42 PST

Look what I did today. I thought I was clever. Mum and Dad don't. That's 2 soft beds and a hammock in 2 weeks. I must admit that it wasn't very comfortable sleeping on the hard ground after I did this. Maybe not so clever after all.

Specialty Show

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 13:28:34 PST

I went to a Rottweiler Specialty Show on the weekend - just for dogs like me. There were a lot a really nice dogs there. The judge liked me very much and gave me an award for best minor puppy dog. I got a ribbon and a trophy. I also met my new friend Jacqui who showed me for my mum and dad. I like her. She thinks I'm handsome, but a bit silly. My "nanna" Di was very pleased with me. Here are some photos of me. I'm now 8 months old.

My first Championship points

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 13:26:23 PST

I had 3 dog shows this weekend. I won my first championship points. 19 all together. I was the only boy Rotty, but I had to beat some girls. Only 81 more too go!

Obedience Ribbon

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 13:24:14 PST

When I went to Obedience today they surprised me by giving me a ribbon. They said I was the best in the competition for Playgroup puppies. I got a ribbon for first place and a certificate. Mum was shocked. She wonders why I can't be obedient at home!

Obedience Class

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 22:15:21 PDT

We had a little competition at obedience class this morning. I'd been to one before and when my mum said "sit" I didn't understand what she meant! Today I remembered, and the man said I was good enough to go in to Grade 1 now. Mum was so pleased with me that she gave me a sausage from the barbecue.

Darlas operation

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 22:19:43 PDT

My big sister Darla had an operation today so that she can't have babies and also had a lump thingy cut from her neck. She's a bit sad. Mum and dad said I can't play with her until she has her stitches out. She is mostly sleeping on the lounge and I'm playing outside with my big brother. Hope she's better soon.

My first show ribbon

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 16:21:43 PDT

I had dog shows on the weekend and I've won my first ribbon. I won minor puppy in group. I also won my breed class in all 3 shows and also got reserve challenge dog one day (I beat 2 older dogs). Mum and dad were so proud. I heard dad yell out "wooo" when I won my ribbon.

My "Operation"

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 06:07:45 PDT

I had to go to the hospital yesterday. I had a baby tooth that wouldn't come out. They had to put me to sleep for a little bit so they could pull it out. I was a bit sleepy afterwards. I was well behaved at the hospital. Mum was very pleased. I had a little "accident" in dads car on the way home - I couldn't help it 'cos they had me locked up for such a long time in the hospital.

6 months old

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 06:21:21 PDT

I'm getting to be a big boy now. Here I am at 6 months old.

The Beach

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 04:11:09 PDT

I went to the beach for the first time today. I didn't really like the waves. They're a bit scary. I liked the sand and the seaweed though. My mum took me to the edge of the water a few times. I got braver each time. Too cold for a swim though.

Practising to be a show dog.

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 18:33:02 PDT

I've been practising to be a show dog. How do I look? I have my first big show in 2 weeks time. I think I'm coming along quite nicely (even if I do say so myself)

Today I had my first puppy training class

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 18:35:13 PDT

I went to "school" with some other puppies today. At first I didn't like them and I thought I'd show them how tough I was. I barked at them. A lady told me off and scared me a little bit. After that I tried to be good. They let me have a play with some of the other puppies. Some of them were funny looking. Not sure what to make of them. I made friends with some of the bigger ones. It was fun. Think I'll try it again.

First day at my new home

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 04:10:06 PDT

Today is my first day at my new home. I got to see my new big brother and sister face to face for the first time. I like to play with them. No sure if they like me though. Maybe I'm a bit too "busy" for them. My big sister is a bit grumpy and growls at me sometimes. I bark back at er - this just makes her more grumpy. I have my own cubby house, and toys and a big yard to play in. Think I'll like it here.

My new family

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 04:15:52 PDT

I met my new mum and dad and their 2 big "kids". They're really nice. Mum and dad think I'm pretty cute. They played with me and gave me cuddles. I leave my brother and sister tomorrow (and my "grandma") - I'm a bit sad, but excited too.

I meet my new mum and dad today!

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 17:51:09 PDT

My new mum and dad are coming to meet me today. I hope they like me. I'll try to be on my best behaviour. I hope they're nice. They have two other big dogs. I hope they like me as well.

This is me with my sister Danni

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 17:40:58 PDT

Had some more photos taken today. Here I am with my sister Danni. She's very pretty isn't she.

My first photo shoot

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 18:28:35 PDT

I've had a photo call today with my brothers and sisters, so that our new mums and dads can see us. I wasn't at my most photogenic today though.

My Birthday

noreply@blogger.com (Odin) — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 04:44:54 PDT

Today is my birthday. I have 5 sisters and 2 brothers. Here I am with my mum and brothers and sisters. It's lunch time. Every man for himself!
