Being four has been pretty decent. I didn’t have as many accomplishments as I have had in previous years but I did have some big ones that count as more than one in my furry mind! My actual birthday is the tenth, so I better get going on my posts or I’ll miss my week of fame!
The first accomplishment I had came in October when I earned my Scent Work Exterior Excellent Title. We were at the Scott County Fairgrounds in Jordan. Now I only have to pass two legs of buried hides to earn my overall Excellent title.
Next up I earned my NW3-E Title which is a Nose Work Level 3 Exterior Title in November. Do you see a trend here in me earning exterior titles? It’s probably just a coincidence. There are four NW3 Element Titles to earn and this is my third one.
The biggest accomplishment I have had being four is my RATCH – Barn Hunt Champion, which I earned in June in Iowa. All of us have our favorite sports and mine is Barn Hunt. It is so fun for me to find those rats! I could hunt them all day every day. Finally I earned one of those really big, fancy ribbons too. Don’t forget, I also got a chair for my RATCH, so Mom has a prize too!
On the day after my RATCH, I earned my DCAT Title in FastCAT. It was quite a weekend for me! Olivia also earned her DCAT the same day. We didn’t get a shot of me alone with my ribbon, just me and Olivia with all the ribbons. The club really has some pretty ribbons. There is no doubt about it…for me the ideal weekend of dog sports is a Barn Hunt/FastCAT combination. I really love those two sports!
My final title of my year is the NW3-I, my Nose Work 3 Interior Element Title. Now I am the first dog in our family to have earned all four titles! Not only did I earn that title, but I earned my first leg towards an NW3 Title. It was a great weekend for me!
We were supposed to go to Iowa this weekend for three days of FastCAT but Mom cancelled because she says she isn’t quite ready to travel yet. Hopefully we will get back to our sports soon as we all miss it already! There are a few events on the radar. No matter, I’m thankful for my accomplishments this past year.

Excellent work! Great accomplishments. Another birthday coming up already? Have a good day, your friend Lilly
I’m finishing off birthday season for 2021. We have a lot of birthdays in a row around here.
Little Super Dog! Congrats on all your Awards … quite a lot for being “almost four” … this will be a special week for you.
I’m excited to celebrate a lot.
Yay for birthday week!
You got that right!
You sure have accomplished a lot and we’ve been here smiling with you along the way. Happy Birthday Week!!! Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
I get a bit overshadowed by my little sister, but I achieved the biggest title of anyone, so that will show them all.
Four already? Doesn’t seem possible. I think you had a great year!
I will be five. I could take the school bus to kindergarten but I think I will stick with my sniff classes instead.
Happy 4th bday week. I’m so thankful that Mom is healing and that she has such devoted furries to keep her company
Hugs Cecilia
We are always with her just in case she needs something.
All those wonderful accomplishments. We’re all so proud of you.

Have a woof woof, Thankful Thursday. Scritches all around and a big healing hug to mom. ♥
I had some good ones but I’m most proud of my Champion Title.
What a Woofie you are! Great work my friend
Thank you. We all work hard at our sports.
you sure have accomplished a ton in such a short period of time!
Compared to Olivia, I’m lagging behind, but not everyone is a super sports dog like she is. I have fun and do pretty well.
You’ve done great considering all the COVID restrictions that were in place these last 18 or so months!
Happy Birthday Week! 🎉🎉🎂🎂🎈🎈
Mom took us traveling a lot to states that didn’t have so many restrictions so we could still do trials.
Happy 4th birthday week! You certainly are Super Dog!
Mom calls me her tiny power house because I am so small, but I am mighty and smart too.
You’ve come so far this year Madison and we know you’ll go even further next year!!
Happy Birthday Week!!!
xoxo,
Rosy,Arty,Jake and Sunny
I hope to have another successful year coming up.
It was quite the year for you, Miss Madison! You and your sisters need to continue to take care of your mom. XOXO, Sparkle
We are always sitting around with her. Now we can start walking more and we are all happy about that.
Considering the stuff that was cancelled from virus restrictions and all that your mother has been through, i’d say it was a very accomplished year for you. Congratulations!
Between COVID and mom it has been some tough going but we have done as much as we could.
You’re a smart girl with so many accomplishments already! Happy Birthday Week, Madison!
I’m doing pretty well, but my little sister is always beating me to the new titles.
Madison, you had a SUPERdooper year! Working around covid19 is a challenge all in itself! Happy Week!
Mom just travels to wherever we have to go to do trials I guess.
Happy birthday week, Madison. We can see you are goal-driven, and rat-driven, too! Hope your Mom keeps getting better and stronger. XOX Lucy and Xena
We really hope so too. Sports are so much fun and we hope to keep doing them for a long time!
Bravo! Not only are you the pawfect competitor, you’re keeping your mom safe as she recovers. Well done, Madison.
I do my best, but it is hard to keep Mom on a tight leash.
We’d say you had a darn good year, and hopefully 5 will be even better!!
I’m sure hoping five will be another awesome one, but we will have to wait and see I guess.
