Work with M
Maverick here again...
So after Mondays trip to work with D, M decided to take me yesterday as I'm too wee to stay at home...
M said I was much better in the car today, she was really pleased that I settled.
I met loads of people, big ones, small one and in-betweeny ones - they were all fussing me and it was VERY tiring, by the end of the day I was falling asleep in anyones arms.
M was going to take me to agility with Cadbury to meet everyone, but I fell asleep while they were making tea and didn't notice them leaving... M says next time I can go as I'll be bigger and had my important jab.
Here's me and Cadbury playing tuggy this morning...
Hang on, let me get hold of it:
Right I've got it, give it a pull:
Yeah, I'm winning look M:
Told ya, I'd win - exhausted time for a lie down:

Welcome Maverick
Phew now I've caught up on some sleep and last night Maverick was a much better behaved boy... only woke us up twice!
Maverick is going to get M to write a bit for him now as he's a bit young to use the keyboard.
Hello,
Maverick here, boy wow what a strange few days.. I'm not sure what's happened to my brothers and sisters but I have a new brother who is reaaallly big! He plays tuggy with me and bounces on me when I try to bite his ears and tail - thats reallly fun!!
M & D have been putting me in this big square thing that they call a car and taking me different places - I'm not liking that, it makes my tummy go all funny :-( but I'm meeting lots of these human things, and they are all Oooing and awwing, and giving me loads of fuss which is great.
M says I'm really good coming back and that i'm good on the lead although I can't really go anywhere yet as I need another jab first.
Here's some pics of me and Cadbury.
First Meet and greet
Here I come......
Snooze time..
Hmm you've got a tasty treat - can I share it with you?

ZZZzzzz
Boy, what a weekend!
Maverick has arrived and he's getting a bit of a handful...
M & D took me to pick him up but left me in the car so I didn't disturb the other pups, they weren't long and the brought Maverick out and popped him in my old crate in the back of the car... Ooo goodie the back seats still mine then!
He cried and cried, then he made a mess!! M & D say we've got to be patient with him cause he'd never been in a car before! but he was better once they'd cleaned him up...
M & D had to work so we both went with them as always... Maverick was allowed to wander about the office bit getting to know the place and then we had visitors... wouldn't you know it was D's mum and dad and Le. I got fuss and a new toy, and I was allowed to play with Maverick for a bit but he wasn't really interested in it humph!
M & D took maverick outside every couple of hours which meant I could go and play too, with P and J. M said my football was too big for maverick to play with but he did try.
Sat night we visited B and L so maverick could meet Wispa - she wasn't impressed - grumpy guts! and D's car broke down so we all got to have a sleep over...... errm no a stay over... no sleep was had because maverick wouldn't stop crying!!
Sunday we were all very TIRED! So we had a chilling day at the workshop, which involved lots of sleep!!!
however, last night was another LOOOOOONG night. M & D tried a different tactic and tried to let maverick out every couple of hours for the toilet as he cries when he does this in his crate.... no surprise I would too...
So I still got NO sleep - thankfully the little monster is at work with D today so I can catchup on the important things and not be suckled and my tail bitten!!
Oh no photos because M forgot to leave the camera - brain not working with little sleep, maybe tomorrow **yawn**

Nose
Wow another week has flown by, and I was back at agility training last night with M...
She could believe how good I was ;-) (she doesn't know how I can forget everything I've learnt in 2 weeks!!)
After my first warm up (bonzai round the ring!) M put me back in the car for a "time out", which she says worked, as I was well behaved after that.... apart from my nose!
My nose has a mind of its own and gets me into all kinds of trouble - off sniffing for dropped treats or tasty morsels of horse/chicken droppings. For some reason M is not happy with me doing this during a course?! Any ideas for how I can keep my nose under control for 60 secs would be appreciated....
Maverick count down - 4 days!!!! = EXCITED
