Outdoor Adventure

Hey everyone, Maggie the outdoorsperson here. Casey, Mommy, Daddy, and two of Casey's friends took me camping over the weekend. We went on a cool hike, one mile up a mountain.

We went up and down hills and valleys and found a beautiful overlook. We saw cities from all over from the top of the mountain. When we saw the ranger station (the place where the hike started) we realized just how far we had hiked.

At the top of the mountain, some girls saw how cute I looked in my sweater and started to take my picture. (I was wearing a pink sweater because it was a little chilly.)


Back at the campsite, we started a fire and roasted hotdogs. (I did have a little hotdog myself :) )

When it got cold at night, we packed up and drove home.

I had a great time camping!!

Doggie Fun Fact # : 22

When Eskimos sleep in an igloo, sometimes it gets cold. When it gets really cold, they rate their nights by dogs. For example, on a three dog night (the coldest night of all) you would bring three of your sled dogs into your igloo to keep you warm .

Grand Champions!

Grand Champion! Yes, me, Maggie the Cavachon, is writing as a Grand Champion. On Saturday, Casey and I competed in a dog show at the fair. The Dixie Classic Fair Youth Dog Show to be exact. There were all sorts of dogs there. From a 41 inch tall

Great Pyrenees to a 4 inch tall Chihuahua. There were also many different events. One of my favorites (though I didn't compete in it) was "longest ears". A Basset Hound won with 8 inch long ears! I was surprised he didn't trip over them!









An event that Casey and I completed in (and won third place) was "Best Costume". We dressed as jailbirds. Remember one of my first blogs, "Biljacs Most Wanted"? I wore the same costume that I wore in that blog. The black and white striped T-shirt. Only this time, Casey wore a matching outfit.



We also competed in two other events. One was "Best Trick" and the other was "Obedience". In "Obedience", we completed a series of commands.



We did slow, about turn, right turn, and more. In "Best Trick", we did a series of agility tricks. I jumped through a hoop, ran through weave poles, and ran through a tunnel.




We won first place in both "Best Trick" and "Obedience". Because we got first in an event, we moved on to the "Best in Show" competition. We stood for an examination, then the judges thought about it and announced that we were the winners! I can't believe we won!

In a dog show, breeds compete in classes, then the winners will compete for Best in Show .

Casey's Turning 11!

Hey guys, Maggie the Cavachon here. A couple of days ago, Casey had some girls over for her 11th birthday party. They went and had Chinese food, then came back to our house.All of the girls watched a movie and I went from girl to girl getting praised. Then if any one girl was really good at tickling my belly, I would lay down in her lap. I had so much fun. Then when Casey
opened presents from her family, I played in the wrapping paper! It was like a little paper castle made just for me!

I can't wait for Casey to "turn 11'' again!
