Getting Ready for the Holidays

This morning mom found my Santa Boots and I got kinda excited, wondering what you do with them. They kinda seemed like toys, but she said they weren't toys at all. She said Andy wore them last year, and he shared them with Maggie when they went visiting at Christmas. I'm not sure what Christmas is yet either. I met Maggie a couple of days ago at Mocha's house. Maggie is a boxer and she is one of my therapy dog models. I want to be like her when I grow up. Anyway, at first the boots seemed kinda wierd, but I wore them around the house and found out you can play with your toys wearing them and you can even go outside! I think I have a hat to go with them but mom didn't make me wear it yet.

The Plumber's Helper

One day after the lampshade came off, Daddy was doing some work in the bathroom. He needed my help, I could tell, so I got right in there and helped. He had me hand him the tools, but I mostly watched since I've never done any plumbing work before! It was a lot of fun but I decided I probably won't grow up to be a plumber.

Lampshade time

Well, after puppy class was over, I went to the vet one day and I got tutored. I am still not sure what happened that day, but I wanted to lick my incision and so Jovin and Docker Russman made me wear a lampshade home. I learned to play with my toys and bones, and really it wasn't too bad, cuz I like to wear clothes and things. But this was kinda hard to sleep in my crate and I ran into things with it. Grammie didn't really like it when I ran into her legs cuz she said it hurt. You can also see where they shaved my leg and that was kinda embarrassing. But it's going to grow out ok. This is one of my favorite bones too.

Graduated from Puppy Class!

Well, it's been a while since I had time to post any news. Mom and I took a puppy class at Sandia Dog Obedience Club, and Dede was our teecher. She is a wonderful teecher and I learned a lot. I met some nice friends there too, like Mocha. When we graduated, Dede gave me a really nice cookie with my Diploma. I like Dede, and I know that Andy liked her too, cuz she taught puppy class when he took it too!

Dede is also a therapy dog person, and she has Rottweilers mostly. I hope I get to see her when I get to be a therapy dog. She will probably be a tester when I take my test! Mom and I have to work more on obedience and I have to grow up more before I can take the test. But mom says I do really well with new people and I'm gentle and sweet. I think it's going to be fun to be a therapy dog someday.
