Valentino experience

diary of 08/20/2022

Today was an unusual day, we were all hanging out together as usual, then a new guy arrived, tall, thin, he had a new smell, indeed different smells, my boss put me on a leash and they took me to the area training, we entered the ring, me and this new guy, at first I did not understand what he wanted to do, but I think he was confused too, I tried to walk alongside him, I was calm and I wagged my tail and took a few strolls, but it didn't it seemed to work well, then my boss came in, with him the music has changed, I know what he wants, we did some running around, even if I must say it was hot and I didn't really want to, I was already dreaming of taking a bath in the pool we have available; I saw the other dogs outside looking at me, I didn't understand if they were envious that I could be alone with my coach, or if they were trying to understand my movements, my style, some of them have already made competitions, others are new generation, but then there are those who are there just out of curiosity. I ran around, I could smell the perfume in the air, the earth, the plants, the man who carried me, then we stopped. And when the new guy is back, he seems nice to me, he takes my collar and we start running, he is certainly not my coach, but he is already better, I know what I have to do, I try to follow him, we run, then we stop and I take a position , head up and sit on the ground; when we stop, he gives me a caress from time to time, I understand that he is going well, even if I am a bit distracted, outside the ring there is my trainer and the other dogs; then I smell my boss handing out a prize for me, the two pass it hand by hand, it's something to eat, I know that smell. My attention increases, tell me what do you want me to do? Do I put myself here? Do I sit? Am I straight? Ok, I try them all, I see that he reaches out to my mouth. Bingo! Ah good, I'm happy, he seems happy; we go out of the ring and I find myself among the other dogs; someone unties my collar, I can go back to my routine, and now I am on the brink to go for a bath; sure, I'm going to do it right now.
