Dear Diary. I had a go at agility at the show today & after a bit of a false start I did really well. My Dad did really well with the jumps too but he didn't even try the tunnels which was a shame 😂 Love Betsy ###
Dear Diary. When I was at the dog show yesterday I had a little try at the training course & all I can say is my nose knows 😂 Scent work is the work for me 🤣 Love Betsy ###
Dear Diary. Today I went to the Sherborne Castle Country Fair & I entered my first ever Terrier race! Dad told me the lure was a squirrel but it didn't look much like any squirrel I have ever seen so I didn't go as fast as I do chasing real squirrels. I think I need more training but my pawrents were very proud of me for my first time out. Love Betsy ###
Dear Diary. The last day of our holiday was wet to say the least but it could have got wetter if we had tried to cross the bridge 😂 Love Betsy ###
Dear Diary. I finally managed to get to woods whilst there were still some bluebells in bloom & very beautiful they were too. Love Betsy ###
Dear Diary. Another Monday Health Walk organised by Linda Dog Friendly Social for me today & despite the rain lots of my furiends were there. Walks are every Monday except for Bank holidays starting at 1pm from the entrance to the Lodmoor Country Park & everyone is welcome to join us for a gentle stroll. Love Betsy ###
Dear Diary. One of the best things about going on holiday is meeting new friends. Isla & I met this handsome chap who wanted to play with us in the lake. He is a Sealyham Terrier & his pawrents thought I was a Sealyham too as we did look similar. We has a great time running around together but it was just a very brief holiday romance 😂 Love Betsy ###
Dear Diary. I went to see the Poupees Geantes show yesterday but I found the drumming so scary it made me shake like a leaf 😪. After a few minutes we left & went to the beach which was much more peaceful. Love Betsy ###
Happy birthday to my Dad who the best dog Dad ever! I hope your day is as good as this tummy rub was 😂 Love Betsy ###
Betsy Barnes & the blustery day
Dear Diary. I don't like the wind so I will be glad when this stormy weather is gone! I am not allowed off my lead on the beach either in case I make a dash for the rough sea. Looking forward to Spring now. Love Betsy ###
Ignore those ponds!
Dear Diary. This was me on Wednesday in Puddletown Forest where I ran past & ignored all my usual favourite stagnant ponds & stayed clean! My Mum keeps asking me " Where is the real Betsy? Where is she & what have you done with her?" Love from a strangely clean & non stinky Betsy ###
This dog loves marmite!
Dear Diary. Day 20 of my advent calendar & my advice today is not just for Christmas but for every day of the year! Watch anyone who is eating anything very, very closely for as long as it takes for them to either drop something or give you something. You win some, you lose some with this approach but today I sat here for a good 5 minutes in the hope of getting a tiny bit of marmite & reaped the reward. Yummy! Love Betsy ###
Sunny days at the beach
Dear Diary. I love fetching my water stick so much I would literally keep swimming after it all day if I was allowed. Love Betsy ###
Roll like no-one is watching 😂
While everyone was enjoying the bluebells I took the opportunity to have a little roll in something dead buried in the leaves!!! Love Betsy ###
Pooch Perfect
Dear Diary. With the rain pouring & the wind howling outside the timing of the delivery of a TV for the bedroom could not have been better! Time to snuggle down for the afternoon & catch up with my favourite programme Pooch Perfect. Mind you the dogs on there all look a bit too clean & groomed for my taste! Love Betsy ###
Back to the frisbees
Dear Diary. After a week away on holiday it's good to see Chris hasn't forgotten how to throw a frisbee & I haven't forgotten how to catch one! Love Betsy ###
