Well I've been having lots of fun going scootering lately! And not posting much to this blog, 'cause mom hogs the computer so much!
We went on lots of fun outings since my last post! And with lots of friends!
And we even went all the way to Massachusetts to meet us with the Boston Snow Dogs folks!!
Then, Mom took Dally and I out in the snow in January...she rode on a snowboard, which was kinda silly at first 'cause she kept falling down! But she finally got the hang of it!
We went more times that that but mom kept forgetting to make her camera work right for some reason! Here's one from early February!
And, we had a couple of fun runs last weekend, too.
and
Oh hey, when I was not scootering I got to try out for a photo gig. Here's my audition video!
Speaking of Cool! Mom has been busy with my little brother too! I still think he's ok, so I'll show you some of what they have been up to here as well:
and
He even went on a very brief scooter outing with Caper!
Oh, and here are he and I showing our skillz at getting over the room separator in the house!
Here's a video of us doggies at Christmas playing with out Christmas present puzzle!
Here's my little sister practicing some of her agility skillz!
Well, I think that gets you mostly caught up for now!! Bark more at ya later!
WOOF!

Elliot Cool, Dally, ME! Caper, Lacy, & Saga(he's hogging the front of the couch!)
We had a visit from Santa Paws! There were presents for all us doggies, plus the kitties and the birdies too! Here's a video of our doggie Christmas!
If you can't tell, we had a GREAT time! I was the best present opener, of course! I even had to help my little brother!
We *also* got a doggie puzzle! It was really fun to play and get the treats out. Plus a dog bed and a giant stuffie, too. Such fun!
And on Christmas Eve, mom took me, Dally, and Elliot Cool scootering to a new place...we go hiking there all the time but we've never scootered there before. Mom also hooked us up a different way. Instead of just me and Dally, she had me in the front and Dally and Elliot Cool behind me. We had a GREAT time but mom sure was carrying on back there! She was whining a little about being sore today, I don't see why, we did all the running! What do you think?
Well, here's hoping you had just as much fun on your holiday as we did!! Bark at cha later!
WOOF!!!!!

Me 'n my sister are Champions! My mom took us (and my pesky little brother) on a trip last weekend...we drove for a long time to Lums Pond State Park in Delaware, and then the next morning to Fair Hill Natural Resource Management Area in Elkton, Maryland, and we got to go Scootering with momma. There were lots and lots of husky dogs there making all sorts of crazy noises!
Me and Dally were just really happy to run really fast, so we did!! And we brought mom in faster than any of the other doggies in our class!! We were in the 2-dog Scooter Sportsman class.
Here's a movie of the WHOLE thing! Mom video'd it on her helmet cam! This movie is about a half hour long so you'll want to make sure you have time to watch it...and it really looks best full screen!
Here are some photos of us!
Waiting in line for the start. I hate waiting! Let's GO!
In the start chute waiting for the count down! Can you see how ready I am?
And We're OFF!!!!
Coming into the finish line on Sunday! Mom tried to race us across, that's why the lines are flapping!
See?! We were really quick!!
Here is a short video of the spectator view of our start and finish on Saturday!
Elliot Cool got to go on a little hike without us at the state park on Saturday, while we were resting up for our next race!
Everyone thinks he is very handsome but I think he's a pesky little brother. I guess he's ok, though. Every once in awhile I lower myself enough to play with him. But I usually end it with a nice bite to his nose so he knows whose in charge around here!
Well, I told you all about my dog scootering lesson in October but since then I've been having lots of fun with it!! Plus my little brother and my sisters went to a Rally trial (WITHOUT ME!) and they did awesome!
First, here are some of my Scootering Vids!
This next one is long but AWESOME, mom took it using her new Head Camera!!!
Then my Speckly twin and Dally's brother Moss came with us with their mum, our Auntie Emily! We had a great time! See?!?!
Here are Elliot, Lacy, and Caper at the Rally trials!!
As you can see we've ALL been having lots of FUN! Dally went to those trials too and she earned her Rally Level 2 Title but mom hasn't gotten around to making her video yet!
Mom kept telling me all week that we were going to do something *REALLY FUN* this weekend. I was totally excited to see what she had planned! So on Saturday morning we got up early and went for a long drive. I got to be the co-pilot and Dally and Elliot had to stay in the cage in the back. HA!
We went all the way to Lake Elmore, VT to Peace Pups Dogsledding! Ken took us to a little trail and first he talked to my mom awhile (*boring*) and then Mom wheeled around on these funny looking bikes without pedals for a bit. THEN, she finally let me come out of the car! I tried on a couple fancy blue harnesses and they decided one fit me and said we were ready to GO! Mom got behind me on the funny bike, I gave her a look - "What are you doing on that weird thing, mom?!" She said, "OK! Go ArthurGOOD! RUN!"
Well, she didn't have to tell me twice!!! I took off down the road! I looked back and she was after me on that scooter, but I was in the lead. Wheeeeeeeeeeee! I ran super fast! Mom said she even got scared! Then she said "Whoa! Wait!" so I stopped. We rested a bit and then we were off again! I woulda gone forever but then she made me turn around. I didn't really want to turn around but I did. Then Ken took the camera and video'd us on the way back - here it is!
Then today, mom took me out again! We just went a little while and she kept calling out funny words I did not know. I think she's trying to tell me where to go or something. She said I was super and she was going to hook up my sister Dally! What?! I didn't know about that. But she did hook her up, and then GrandPaw went out on his bike ahead of us for a little while. When we got to the end of the road we passed him and kept on going, and he stayed and talked to the people in the house, and kept the 2 big GSDs from chasing us (Dally was really glad about that!)
We FLEW done the trail up and over the RR tracks. We stopped there for a little break. Then we raced to the end of the field, went swimming! Went all the way around the field, went swimming again, and then raced around a bit more and then back down the trail, one more swim and headed home. SO MUCH FUN! Here's the video from today!!
Mom says when Elliot Cool is bigger he can get hooked up too! She will prolly let Caper and Lacy go together too - she thinks I'm too fast for Caper! HA!
Oh yeah, speaking of Elliot Cool he got to meet his Uncle Edge yesterday, too!
Elliot's mum has the same parents as Edge! Edge is 1.5 weeks older but Elliot is slightly bigger. Edge's hair is a little longer and softer than Elliot's. That's Edge's human mum, Ashley, with him. She has border collies too! My scooter lesson made mom late meeting them but luckily Ashley came back and so they still got to meet! Mom thought that was really nice. And of course, the wonderful Show Me The Biscuit was awesome for letting them use their place!
So, all in all a SUPER FUN weekend! Hope yours was just as good!
WOOF!!!!
ArthurGOOD!!
ps - Mom was awful excited that Dally finally started playing with Elliot Cool! THEN, I even played with him for minute! HA!
Ok, I think that's all for now!
WOOOOF!!
Really this time!
ArthurGOOD!
