No pix yet, just an announcement that as of yesterday afternoon Raj is now Alta-Tollhaus Octavian, CGC. He passed, despite himself. He thought everyone was there just to play with him. For the recall, I had to walk out as far as the blue bucket–and the minute he got to me and passed that exercise, he ran right over to stick his head down into the blue bucket, just in case tennis balls were in there. His CGC probably stands for Canine Good Criminal (“theft of toys and treats our specialty”). He needs a talk on work ethic from his Uncle Ivan.
Congratulations! At least Raj waited until after the exercise to put his head in the bucket. Raj is following in Uncle Ivan’s footsteps—with his own added flair.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You mean people aren’t there to give him attention???
Aw, I bet Raj was just making sure there weren’t any snakes or evil cats in that bucket. Trying to protect you, that’s all. He passed the test with FLAIR! Congratulations to you both!!!
Ivan’s work ethic is out of this world. I’m pretty sure Ivan could go to my office tomorrow and replace me, no problem. My boss might be confused at first, but he’d quickly realize that Ivan’s a lot easier to train and could be paid in Kong Wubbas. Before you know it, he’d say, “Jennie who? That’s IVAN’s desk!”
Congrats, Raj!!
Congratulations. Way to go Raj C.G.C.
Ivan is very proud of you!!
Ivan would be embarrassed. He would never run over and shove his head in the bucket, or lie down on the mats and roll around with his feet in the air, or try to check out other people’s bags for treats.
LOL!!!
I second that LOL! His CGC might stand for “Canine Goof Citizen.”
You know, speaking as one myself, Raj sounds like a classic youngest child. We are carefree, outgoing, and need attention to live.
We will have to ask Julie about that. I have no idea–was Raj the youngest in his litter? We need a song entitled “Young in Brain”
I would love to see Raj rolling around on the mats!! Sounds like he is full of personality.
You could have come to training tonight and enjoyed an even livelier display. Apparently he decided on Saturday that the audience was enjoying the performance and spent the day between thinking about how to perfect his act.
Congrat’s Raj!! Way to go young man!
Congrats on your CGC!
congrats on the CGC!!
Congrats on your CGC!!!! You just gotta love these teenage boys…Good Job!!!!!
Congratulations! Sounds like you had fun to boot!
