This is not about a special day, but about changes.

Last year I began training to become Pepper, TFT, Agility Dog. But, as the summer progressed and the heat became worse, I refused to practice.

We were going away to places where The Fox and Cookie were runnng, staying in strange bedrooms and driving long distances.

Finally, when the cool weather came, I tried to tell my mom that I wanted to train somemore, but she didn't seem to understand. I was left at home when the others went to class. The Fox, Cookie and Chip were demo dogs while I was left at home. Finally, one evening when mom returned with the others, from an obedience trial, I got my message across. I keened. As loud as I could, from the time I heard the van in the drive until I was let out of my crate.

Mom told dad that I was unhappy because the others get to go places and do things that I don't get to do. So, she started taking me to class. I am Pepper, TFT, Demo Dog!

Before class, I get to work in the ring with my mom. Then, I show the younger dogs how to heel, sit, turn and do the things all good dogs should do! But, I'm still not satisfied!

Cookie has earned TITLES! She thinks she is better than me because she has letters after her name! She says her name should be "Little Princess"!

Then, The Fox, who already has a U_CD title, earned his N(ovice)A(gility) title! This is too much! I will not sit still while the others get letters and I don't!

So, I went to my mom and she said I shall begin private lessons when the weather becomes fit! And, when I am ready, I will begin my agility career and earn letters, too!
