This is Tweed.
This is Tweed now that he's REALLY MAD!
"???"
Good question! I'm glad you asked!
On Sunday, My Special Little Guy got his third and final Masters Standard Q to successfully complete the requirements for the title of Masters Agility Dog of Canada!
This is, dear viewers, nothing short of a miracle. For starters, Tweed's performance is usually severely retarded by his handler, who has all the skill of a coma victim who lost all her limbs in an unfortunate sledding accident.
Secondly, keeping this deficit in mind, Tweed likes to average one Titling Q per year. He got one in September of 2007, and then blessed us with another surprise Q in September 2008. So we consider this second Titling Q in a two month span as The Food Lady's Christmas Bonus.
Traditionally, Tweed has brilliant performances when no one has a video camera handy. I have loads of really really super shitty runs recorded for posterity. And while this may not have been his (or my) finest moment, it's definitely one of my proudest!
The sound on this video is off by a second or two, and I can't get rid of it, but you can hear the barn erupt in cheers, if a bit prematurely. We've been chasing this title for an awfully long time!
So ... congratulations Tweird!
In other perfectly lovely news, we are celebrating birthdays tomorrow at Casa de Food Lady. It's my birthday, and it's also the imaginary birthday I gave to both Piper and Mr. Woo since both have pasts shrouded in mystery, but birthdates sometimes around November.
Miss P is a ripe old 6 years of age.
And the family clown, Mr. Woo, reaches a milestone of a whole 3 years.
Happy Birthday Monsters!

Yay for Tweed! Happy Birthday to Food Lady. And Piper. And Mr. Woo. I hope you have a lot of cake. Let's hope Tweed's Q on Sunday was really an early birthday present and he still has something up his sleeve for x-mas.
Congratulations to Tweed AND his person and birthday greetings to you, Piper, and Woo. I trust you will have a "damn party in the parlor" - a line from Ellen Terry.
Congrats on a great run! The sound discrepancy is both amusing and discombobulating.
(And unless you are making money off those shitty videos I think you mean "posterity")
WOOT! Go, Tweed! Go, Food Lady! Not bad for an amputee sled-accident victim! :D
Many happy returns to Piper, Woo, and the prodigiously talented Food Lady, who takes fab-o pics - especially considering that whole "coma" thing!
Happy birthday to Monsters (and Mr. Woo, too! He couldn't possibly be monstrous!)
I remember when Piper was a wee little fluffy thing on Acmepet!
Niiiice!
:-)
Happy birthdays to all!
So, is the second title properly a holiday bonus, or a birthday present?
Awesome job, Tweed! I'm jealous of his awesome contacts. My dog flies off the teeter and the dog walk like his tail's on fire, grinning the whole time.
Happy Birthday(s)!
Sounds like party-time at your house! Congrats to the handsome red guy and best wishes and a Happy B-Day to you, Piper and Woo.
Happy Birthdays! that was a very nice run, I bet your still smiling! Big congrats on the run and the title.
Congrats to Tweed! He deserves it. And happy birthday to you, Piper, and Woo, and may you all have another lovely year!
Congratulations on the MAD!!! What an accomplishment.
Happy birthday to you all.
Congrats on Tweeds MAD!!!

Happy Birthdays to all. I hope you, Piper and Woo celebrated big time. With Tweed on his win high, I would think he found a way to join the party too. Thanks for posting that video. It was great fun watching it. As several have said, pretty damn impressive for a coma/amputee victim. As for the winning photograph in the last entry - holy, mo-o-ly! Talent and hard work paid off big time on two fronts this week. Good for you!
Hurray & happy birthday to all!
WOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Another MAD dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And, oh yeah, Happy Birthday. :-)
Congrats to Tweed! So is that like dog Special Olympics? :)
Sending lots of birthday wishes to you and the pooches! Cake for everyone!
Happy Birthday!
Guess Tweed decided you needed an extra special b-day gift... and with the economy the way it is... this is what he could afford.
I am just catching up with your blog. Congratulations Tweed, he looked great on the video. Well done to both of you.
Belated birthday wishes to you, Piper and Mr Woo. :-))
Haaapppy birthday to you, happy birthday, to you, happy birthday Food Lady and fur kids, happy birthday to you... and congratulations on Qs!!
Sweet Caroline!
So much congrats to go around for so many milestones. I know B'days are special, but Tweedy-Weedy gets the biggest hurrahs.
Damn the world wide economy...it's an abundance of riches at Casa de Food Senorita!
Your pal,
Fenway
Congratulations to Tweed and Happy Birthday to all. Although it wasn't the best time to offer it, I adored Tweed's cute bunny hop after the teeter whilst his tail went around like a propellor. That's something definitely worth putting on cue.
Tweed, congrats, you scoundrel! Next time the FL dresses you up in a hat, you'll be the MAD hatter.
Happy birthday (belated) to the coma victim, Piper, and Woo!
So glad I ofund your site! I love this post and Tweed is beautiful. I really love his chocolat-iness!
Congratulations!
