The car accident, a contest win, two Giant Schnauzers, and two NQ's!

We're back from the trial and thank DOG we are safe and sound. We had a couple of really close calls. But we did win the contest!!!

Yesterday has to be one of the worst days of my life. Well maybe one of the three worst days of my life. The first and second being attacked by a pack of dogs, and getting my broken foot at the boarding facility last fall.

And now that Mum thinks about it, she remembers that I didn't want to go to the trial yesterday - she had a lot of trouble getting me to get in the car at 5:00 AM to head to Dayton, OH. Mum you just shoulda listened to me!!!!

We headed off to the trail, the trip uneventful. Got there in plenty of time and Mum walked the course. Then she came back to get me from the car and my crate. When I got out of my crate, two Giant Schnauzers who were in an x-pen beside us, started after me. They growled and barked very aggressively at me and tried to get out of their x-pen. Scared the living daylights out of me.

Then just about 20 minutes later I ran my first course. I didn't run very well. Mum says I looked stressed the entire run, wasn't running my usual fast self, and plowed into the triple jump. She was a little worried about me, so we walked around outside after to de-stress, and there was a lady giving free doggie massages, so I got one of those.

Then it was back in my crate, while Mum walked our Jumpers course. She tried really hard to keep me confident and focused just on her, but I didn't want to run again and sniffed a lot on the course. A sure sign of stress, then I popped the weaves, so no Q again. Mum gave me lots of lovin' and some great treats, but I just wanted to go home.

We packed up the car and headed home. About 30 minutes west of Dayton we were on Interstate 70, going about 65 MPH, the speed limit, when suddenly cars were braking hard, spinning out and smoke was all over the place.

Mum braked and went to the berm to avoid some cars, when another car in front of her did the same thing, so we went further into the median (the grass space between the four interstate lanes). Then we were all over the median, back and forth, left and right. Mum worked real hard to keep from rolling the car and keep from going into the oncoming lanes of traffic. Just then another car ended up in the median too and Mum jcouldn't avoid that car without going into oncoming traffic.

We were going at a much lesser speed by then and hit the car on the left front. Kind of like we both met our left and right fronts. Then we finally came to a stop.

Mum jumped out of the car, opened the back end of the Discovery to check on us. We were scared, but doing OK. Then she went and checked on the other people in the other car. They were OK and were calling the police. Three other cars involved were pulled over on the right side of the traffic across the road from us. They were unhurt too.

Considering the circumstances, Mum thinks everyone was pretty smart about how they handled the flood of braking cars, spinning cars, and smoke so thick you could barely see. Luckily no one was hurt in the entire accident - in all five or six cars. It could have been a real disaster.

We couldn't drive the car home because it was so damaged, so my friend Cosmo's Mum drove 90 minutes to come and get us, then nearly two hours to take us home. We are so grateful to her Mum, we could lick her silly!!!!!!! We are so grateful that we have such a good friend.

All three of us are pretty sore today, from being roughed up and from the stress and trauma. But we have to say that coming home to see that we had won the contest cheered us up a lot!!! Thank you soo much to all of you who voted. We'll keep you posted on the pressies!

Mum is setting us up an appointment for a chiropractic adjustment. Then she has to figure out how to get the car back and repaired, and get herself destressed.

We thank DOG that we are home, safe and sound, and that no one was hurt in the accident.

Mum also wants to share that she is really glad she works so hard to keep us safe in the car. She makes sure that we are in our crates and that the crates are secured with bungee cords. If we would have been loose in the car...well, I hate to think how Gracie and I would be today...

Give your loved ones - two legged and four legged - a big hug today, and thank them for being your friend, K? 'Cause you just never know.....

Licks,
Johann

We are off for the weekend early in the AM!

Gracie, Mum and I are off to an AKC agility trial in Dayton, Ohio. And leaving quite early in the morning. We decided to drive back and forth the two hours each way, both Saturday and Sunday, 'cause we all like sleeping in our own beds and we need to take care of the kitties, too!

After a quick days bout with loose 'output' yesterday, I am back and raring to go. Mum's slipped up on putting yogurt in with my kibble. That yogurt stuff is really helping my tummy!

Wish us luck at the trial, K?

Voting at the TipTail.com contest is going really well, you guys are rockin'!!!! Thank you so much for helping us out. We are ahead, but I'm a little nervous that while we're gone we may fall behind. So, tie a string around your paws, K? And remember to vote - we would sure, sure appreciate it!!!

Click here to vote!!!!

And stop by my friend Tish's blog at The Kat House, our friend Mike's at Ordinary Folk, and our friend Bala's at One Dog and Two Birds - tomorrow. They are participating in the Blogathon 2007 and helping to raise money for great causes. They are going to be blogging for 24 hours and I'm sure would love the encouragement and support. Mike and Tish are raising money for the Glaucoma Foundation. And Bala is raising money for the Eau Claire County Humane Society! And if you can be sure and sponsor them, K?

Voting is getting heated!

Wow, the voting for the TipTail.com contest is really heating up! I need all the votes I can get. So keep 'em coming, OK? We sure do appreciate it. Click here to vote!

I have a few items picked out for Gracie if I win the contest:

This Sport Player tug would be an amazing toy for Gracie. She loves to tug and will tug for hours, with me and with Mum. It would be a great reward for when she dogs agility too.

I really like this Fling Thing. They say it can handle your dog's teeth without ripping apart. And it flies 50 some feet. Wow! She'd love that. Now if we can teach her to bring stuff back, BOL!


When looking around Doggonegood.com, I saw this book that I thought would be perfect for Gracie. She absolutely loves agility and I know she wants to compete like me, but she gets real stressed in the agility ring. Maybe this book can help her feel more confident. I'd love to help her with that.

What do you think of my pics?

Mum and I are going to be gone most of this weekend to an agility trial in Dayton, Ohio and won't be able to remind everyone about voting. So tie a string around your paw, K?

Don't forget to vote to help me get Gracie a birthday present!

Morning, and afternoon, evening to our friends across the pond. Voting is going well on the TipTail.com contest. I'm ever so much closer to helping get Gracie a really cool birthday present. The last time I checked we were tied for first place. Wow, you guys rock!!!!

Keep those votes a coming!!!! We found out that you can vote every 24 hours. So if the voting doesn't display when you check, be sure and check back later, K?

And I give you a big ole thank you for helping me out!!!!!

Licks,
Johann

Thank you!!! And keep it coming!

UPDATE: You can vote again! Yeah! So be sure and vote everyday, K?

Hi everyone, Mum and I sure are grateful that you are voting for me in the contest! We're not sure if you can vote multiple times, we're checking. But if you get a minute click here and see if you can vote again, K? I'm just a tad behind, last time I checked.

Our great friends Gomer and Opie, and their DogMom, at Dogs' Aye View were every so kind to post on their blog about me being in the contest. Thank you guys/gals!!!!!! Welcome home, we are glad you are back safe and sound from your long road trip.

We are off to train with our friend in Columbus, south of Indy, today. We're taking a little road trip of our own. Mum's got lots of work to catch up on before and after. So I have to give up the computer. Wish she would get that laptop fixed so we could both get our stuff done, grrrrrr.

Later! And thanks again!
