Well finals are nearing for Mom and that means she hogs all the computer time these days. This weekend is the "calm before the storm" as Mom likes to call it, so I decided to get in some blogging time while I still can.
Spring Break ended before we knew it and we headed back up to school. Mom had to bring Grandpa to the airport, so I rode along. Afterwards we went to the park, but it was pretty windy and I wasn't too into playing, so we left after a few minutes. We had puppy class that night and I was pretty good. We worked on our commands and playing with other dogs. Nothing too out of the ordinary, really. Then we went out to dinner where I collapsed under the table for the whole meal. I'm pretty sure no one even noticed me, except they may have heard my snoring...After Mom shook me awake she dragged me along shopping. I was really good there because I was so tired. Then we headed home where I didn't move until my final potty run.
The rest of the week was boring. We went for a long walk, which was fun. Then we went to this really cool place! I was sitting in the car taking a nap when all of a sudden it got dark. I sat up to look and water started shooting at the car. Then these huge brushes came and rubbed Mom's car! It was so awesome. When we got back home the car was nice and shiny. I secretly think it would be fun to run through that place myself ;)
That weekend we went to Grandma and Grandpa's AGAIN! I love going there to see Josette, but that car ride gets old. Mom and I went to visit my mommy-Pandora and Uncle Farrell. She had to walk them while their mom was out for the day. She made me stay in their crate while they went for a walk. I was NOT happy! But when she came back we went shopping for a few hours, so that was fun. I went into the dressing room with Mom and peeked in at the lady next door-good thing she likes dogs! Mom kept a close eye on me after that! Since it was pretty hot Mom got a drink and gave me the ice cubes from it. That made me pretty happy :)
When we got home we had a birthday party for Irie. Her birthday was on Tuesday, but since we would be at school we celebrated early. Mom gave us some doggie ice cream, but only in exchange for taking lots of pictures first. But we did get a new toy to play with too, so I guess it was worth it!
When we got home on Sunday there was a HUGE package waiting for Mom. I smelled it and I could smell some dogs on it. It was from our Lab Board Secret Pal. I got some squeaky tennis balls and a lot of treats (apparently I'm supposed to share with Irie and Josette...like that's going to happen!).
This week has been pretty good so far. Our weekly shopping trip on Tuesday followed by a special puppy class on Thursday. I helped new raisers learn the hand signals for our commands. Mom said I was a little crazy, but I just say I was excited to learn! Yesterday I finally got to go to school with Mom! I still had to spend class time in my crate, but she took me to a group meeting in the afternoon. I said hello to the group and then went to sleep while they did all the hard work.
Today has been so hot! Mom and I slept in late with the AC on full blast and then we went to the mall to beat the heat. I was a really good girl for Mom, so we went out to eat. We went to Friendly's but let me tell you, they did not live up to their name. I did all the hard work and they give Mom the ice cream! Whatever!
If you don't see me around, it's because we are just too busy to blog. I'll be sure to update soon, though. There are some exciting things coming up!

Update Time
Getting a little behind on my blogging-but I have been so busy lately, I just don't have the time for it like I used to. Getting older means lots more outings and training, so I am a busy lady!
Mom and I have been visiting the grandparents almost every weekend. I love coming here to see Irie, Indiana, and, especially, Josette! I play and play and play and, did I mention, play? Mom also makes me work a little bit. Last time we were here we went out shopping with Grandma and anyone who knows her knows that is a lot more work than it sounds like ;) We went to Lowes where a little kid pet me. I liked him because he told me I had "claws" which makes me sound like a scary beast. I like that! After that we headed to the mall for a little bit. We met an NYPD officer who works with GEB sometimes. He seemed really nice, so maybe I will work with him one day! After that we went to McDonalds for some coffee-it was cold outside! And way windy-I had fun watching the flags going though-Mom says I am so weird sometimes.
Sometime since my last post we had a puppy class. I was really good this time. Good thing because I think Mom would have left me there if I wasn't! First we got in a circle and did commands. The last one to do them was out. Guess who was out first-me! Mom explained that I do everything at my speed-which is S-L-O-W. Seriously, I did a down but it takes some time to get my mind and body to work. Whatever, I'm still the cutest one there ;) Next we worked on our kennel behavior. I did really well until my favorite person Barb sat down near me. Then I always had to give her a kiss and a wag when we walked by. Mom was cracking up, but I just can't contain my love sometimes! After that we worked on doing different behaviors for our food and then some people greetings. We all played a little bit than lined up to leave. One at a time our raisers went by the door and called us across the room (and other dogs). We all did really well with that-I even held a down stay for the whole time since I was last in line!
Now we are on Spring Break-back at Grandma and Grandpa's for the week. I went on a walk and out to dinner. Also went grocery shopping-nothing too exciting. I have some pictures though!
Check back tomorrow for a special Easter post :)

Day with Yara
Yara's mom finally posted the pictures of our day together, so here they are ;)
First, some serious playtime:
Then we went out to eat. We were both pretty tired, so we were very good girls.
After lunch we went to the mall. Mom took the long way ;) It was a great day and I can't wait for our next visit. Mom has to remember to bring my own toys though since *someone* always destroys Yara's when we visit.

A Real Update
I just noticed it's been a while since I posted a real update for you guys. I can't remember all that we've done, but I'll give it a try. Nothing too fun has happened these past few weeks. I've been going almost everywhere with Mom since I have my jacket. I'm getting exceptionally good at this grocery store thing, if I do say so myself! I also saw a parade this weekend with Grandma while Mom took Irie to agility. I've been going on a lot of car rides too, which I love.
We had a puppy class on Monday night and I had so much fun! Mom didn't seem to enjoy herself though...I created this great game, the opposite game. Everything Mom asked me to do I did the opposite. "Fay sit" and I lay down, "Fay down" and I stand up, "Stay" and I move. Oh the looks on Mom's face were priceless! Mom said I better go into heat soon because she can't stand this teenager I've become. I don't know what she's talking about, I don't feel hot at all...
Let's see if I can't find some fun pictures for you guys. How about some outtakes from the St Patrick's Day photoshoot?
