This is my first diary that I ever wrote, so I guess I'll just write what ever I have to say (bark). Well, today at Schutzhund filly was trying to be a hunting dog, I guess she already wrote more about it in her diary, and it was a very funny site :-), at the obedience, I worked quite good, but on the tracking in the morning, I think it was one of my best times ever, and my mom was so happy, that it made me so happy to.

At the protection part, everybody cheered, when I worked, I was so happy, that I just worked even better! I love working with Michael, he is the best sleeve holder that I worked with.

Today, for my first time, my mom taught me what the "Fly Ball" is, I didn't got the idea of the ball flying in the air, but what ever fly's, I have to catch, so I did, and my mom was very happy, I guess that is what she wanted me to do, I love my mom so much.

In this end of the month I'm about to have a very big dog show, and I'm very nervous about it, but I guess my mom has to be more then I am, she is going to contest in the best Junior Handler of Israel competition, wow, I wish her good luck, she work's all the time, and I guess that I'll be a little jealous when Dahab, the Saluki will come here. Dahab is the dog that she will show in the competition, well, I guess I can live with it, that's all diary, I'll write you again tomorrow!

Dear diary,

Sorry for not writing for so long, but you know that I work allot and that I'm busy. Yesterday, we had this really big dog show, mom says that is something like an international dog show! I was competing at my German Shepherd ring class, and guess what ? I got the first place! The other dog Cheef, last time he have got the first place and I got the 3rd, but this time, the judge really liked me. Mom said that I was working so well, that right after we got out of the ring, she gave me a full can of dog meet, isn't that great?

I know that Filly have got a pretty good place at the Agility championship, but I don't remember what place she got, I think it was one of the 1st ones, I'll read it in her diary when I'll finish writing in mine.

Mom have also showed Dahab the Saluki and Omara, another Saluki at the dog show, both got 1st places. O, and one sad moment, mom didn't do so well this time at the Junior Handlers competition, but she seems so happy about us, Filly and I, that I'm not about to say anything about it. Ok, that's it for this time, till next time,

Dear diary,
Wow, this was a hard week for mom and I, we have been working all the time, and the last dog show was pretty well. We have another one at July 17th, I really do hope that we will do fine, as usual mom will get the 1st place at the Junior Handlers competition and I will take the class, I do hope to take the C.A.C this time... too bad I didn't last time, as I said, and older dog got that C.A.C. Mom is going to London at the end of July for 2 weeks, boy am I jealous of her!
I wish I had the time and money to go and have so much fun... she told me that she will bring me much food back and things that I can chew, so I'm kind of happy that she is going, although I'll miss her allot!
Ok then, I'll write you again after the dog ring show, and I'll let you know how we did! Love you, Woof!

Astra.

Dear diary,
I had quite a nice day today, my SchH training were good, though mom says that Filly was better then me today, I'll take it as she said Filly is older then I am and that's why, as long as I'm not the old one.... :)  .
Mom is going to London in 5 days and I'm very exited about it though she told me that she will bring us something from there, is there any chance she will bring us another Lurcher? It should be fun to have another "Filly" dog around here, more friends to run with.
On October 23 we have the BI show of the year, the "International Dog Show" and I'm now at the 18-24 class, I really do hope to get a C.A.C, mom will be so happy. This time the dog show is very hard, its not so hot now though then its easier to stand in the ring for longer time, I'm sure that I will do well but mom says that there might be few good dogs in my class, let's hope that I'm better then they are!
Well, after writing you after so long, all I have to say is that I let you know how I did in the ring, I must go run a little... love it!

Dear Diary,
I am a very happy dog! Mom found me a GirlFriend, a very fine bitch to be my mate. She is so beautiful, mom says that I am in love. I just can't think of anything else besides her. Her name is Nikita and she is a little less than a year younger then I am, she has dark hair, part black and part brownish-red. I love her eyes and I love the way she looks at me, she is so well behaved and I love playing with her, I also gave her my "puppy-role" (nobody gets MY "puppy-role"!).
On next Saturday mom says that I will breed Nikita, aren't I lucky?!
Today at the Schutzhund training Nikita came to see how I was and it was pretty good, many dogs there tried to hit on her, but she came right back to me and set beside me, isn't she wonderful? I went to see another female that came there as I usually do, you know, I must check all the dogs that come to train with us, and she liked me to I guess. When I got back to be with Niki, she started to fight with her, two females were fighting over me :), mom said I should be proud! Well, I can't wait for next Saturday, and I also have another GSD show in two weeks, I'll let you know how both of them went! Ast(r)aLaVista!

Dear Diary,
Well, I'm 2 year old now. An old mature male. How nice it is to feel so big and nice! Next GSD show I'll be in the open class for my first time, wish me luck! For my birthday, mom made me a big surprise party (!) with my friends, and a cake, and balloons and fireworks! Boy, was I happy! We all had birthday hats, and everybody sang for me, and I did too! There were candles on the cake and I had to bark at them (I still don't know why?!) but I was too scared of the fire!
Nobody said that hansom dogs mustn't be chickens about fire (did somebody say chicken?!), o well, I'll write again after the up coming dog show and let you know how it was!

Astra.
