Miss Majik

NEWS ALERT!!!
April 26, 2009 - Springfield MO - Arf Fest
Majik wins second place in a Best Trick contest. Her trick - playing the piano!

    Hi there!  My name is Majik!  That's what you can call me. My fancy name is "Peer Gynt Could it Bee Majik RN, CGC".  I was born October 1, 2007 in Minnesota, but now I live in the Missouri Ozarks with my brother Yorik and my sisters Loki, Wegian, and Elkie.

    We live out in the country on 105 acres - I love it here! There are so many things to bark at!  Every day we see squirrels and deer and wild turkeys - sometimes we hear the coyotes singing at night!  How neat is that! I like to spend my days out in the front yard sunbathing and playing with my brother and my sisters. We really have fun together.


I started out as a puppy. At first my name was Honey Bee - that's no doubt because I am so sweet!


Here I am when I met my new mom for the first time. My first mom, Marlene, and my Aunt Bev drove me
from Minnesota to Iowa to meet my new mom and dad so we could drive back to my forever home in Missouri. 
That's when my name got changed to "Majik".

A Spoiled Puppy!


When I got home I had lots of toys!

I played with my sister, Wegian.

I played with my brother, Yorik.

I made new friends in puppy school.


This is when I met my best girlfriend, Sadie. 
We went to dog school together and earned our CGC titles. That was a little later when I was older.


I chewed up my share of stuff. Toilet paper is still my very favorite!

Growing Up!


Now I am a beautiful lady.

Here are the Boys in My Life!
As you can see, I have 2 boyfriends - I just can't make up my mind!

 

Boomer is my boyfriend. He's really nice
and we go out for ice cream.

Yorik is my big brother.
We do everything together!

Chipper is my boyfriend.
We have play dates and go for car rides.

My Interests

Of course, my 2 boyfriends keep me really busy - especially in the summer when we can go places and take walks.


I like digging holes in the front yard too - those moles run me ragged.
Here's Yorik getting my dirt in his face. What a silly boy - why doesn't he move?

My most favorite thing I do is visit the Wright County Children's Home every month!
I have been going there since I was a baby. They have watched me grow up.
I love to show off my tricks for everyone and OH BOY do I get lots of petting! They give me treats too!

I also do Pet Therapy at four local nursing homes. I am so happy when I visit all my friends every month!
I even have my own volunteer ID Card! How neat is that!!!

I work on learning tricks every day. Some day I'm going to be in the Tricky Dog Show
with my big brother. There's more about that below.

I also compete in AKC Rally Obedience. So far I have earned my Rally Novice title.

My mom always gives me a kiss for good luck before we go in the Rally ring.
Sometimes it works and sometimes...........

 
Here we are at a trial in Springfield Missouri, October, 2008.
I finished my Rally Novice title at that trial!

2008 Norwegian Elkhound Nationals!


In May 2008, I got to go to Rochester MN and be a part of the Norwegian Elkhound Nationals!
In this picture, I am in the middle and Yorik is on the right. Our friends are Tuck (standing) and Reka (lying down).
I made lots of new friends and I competed in Rally Novice and Conformation.

 
Marlene showed me in conformation. It was great to see her again! 
Here she is getting me all pretty and then here we are in the ring! She had some good treats in her hand.

     
Here we are at Nationals waiting to go in the Rally ring , and then we are weaving through the cones.  
I got my first Rally Novice leg there when I was 7-1/2 months old!

Majik's Tricks!

I  train for a little while every day. My mom has taught me lots of tricks using Clicker Training.
