Storm has been getting into the toy poodle's food while Mom and I have not been looking. It's a perfectly good food - Natural Balance Lamb and Rice - but it's wholly comprised of things that Storm is allergic to.

Storm and I have a show on the second, and we just got the premium list (a pamphlet that details out who is showing at what time in which ring with how many other dogs) in the mail today.

After eight misses, the ninth time turned out to be the charm - and I FINALLY got video footage of Storm and I doing Rally Obedience.

There were 5 dogs that showed. Three of us qualified. I took first with a score of 99/100; second place had 80 and third had a 77.

This is a weird sort of update. It's just a series of snippets from the last week or so - largely disjointed, but important enough for me to record here.

There are some pictures and even a video. You are warned.
