Show NO Fear

 So, last Saturday before our puppy training class started a handful of us girls were mulling around outside, (you know kissing muzzles, sniffing rear ends, generally just saying "hello").  Then all of a sudden our moms and dads decided that they wanted to see if we could master our trainers agility equipment, while she was inside the garage with her other class !!  Some of the other pups were a little afraid to go across the balancing board, (it's just like a teeter toter, but it's for dogs).  NOT ME - I got up and walked across.  I wasn't even afraid when the opposite end started dropping downward.  I just stopped for a moment, got my balance, then kept on going.  The 2nd time across, I didn't even stop once. 

Then we did the climbing board.  I wouldn't admit it to the other pups, but the very first time, I was a little worried about what was at the top and on the other side.  But once mom tempted me up and over with a tasty treat, and I saw that there was nothing to it.  I did it again 2 more times.  Up and over.  Did you notice that it's taller than mom is?  Mom said that I was just like a little marine at boot camp.  All I know is; there were plenty of "yea Balsa" when I did it.  Some of the other pups only got 1/2 of the way up, some got almost to the top and then jumped off, a few were as brave as me but they were the older dogs.  Mom and dad were so proud of me.  Then the trainer came out and told everyone to knock it off, it was time for our class to start.
