Today I had to return my Shayiska Trophy for Best Canine Freestyle Routine
...
This is a big silver cup that I got last year when my human, Hsin-Yi, and I competed in the Canine Freestyle competition at the New Zealand National Dog Training Assembly (NDTA).

Here is a video of us dancing:

I got to keep the trophy for a whole year. But now, I’ve got to give the trophy back because they are doing the NDTA again this year and so other dogs have to get the chance to win the trophy. We won’t be going to the NDTA this year because it is so far away and because Hsin-Yi is so busy preparing for this big thing called “moving overseas”…so I won’t get a chance to try and win it again. But I hope another big dog wins it – and shows everybody that you can be different but still be a winner!
