I got shot!!!

OK, I'm being a bit dramatic...but I did have to go down to GEB to get 2 shots! Mom showed me around and told me this is where I will live after I leave her. That better not be anytime soon-I love my mom!!! I met some of the trainers and kennel staff, as well as the vets. They all seemed really cool so I know I'll have fun when I get there. I talked to a few dogs who were in training and they all told me how cool it was, so I'm getting a little excited to start the next part of my life!

Puppy Class

I got to come home to Mom at puppy class this week. My swap family let me play outside while Mom was helping in class, so I was good and tired when it was time for my class. I met the new class teacher-she gave me cookies so I like her. We did a bunch of new games which were pretty cool. Mom made me work with a sitter for class, she seemed alright but I was glad to go home with my Mom!

I found out my pal Stanton is leaving! I am so sad, I adore him! We have had so many fun times together, I really hope I'll see him down at GEB.

Another Swap

I thought I made myself clear the last time, I HATE SWAPS!!! Mom just did not get it, so she sent me on another one! Luckily I went to a family I have already stayed with. They adore me, so I guess I can put up with them for a week. Their puppy, Oasis, went home with Mom. I was so jealous! I did have a good time with her family, though. They have a bunch of other pets, including another dog, and a great back yard. Maybe swaps aren't the worst thing ever...

Mom asked me to post these Oasis pix so you can see her. Apparently we are basically twins in both looks and behavior so it was an easy swap for the humans!

Horse Show

Mom finally let me off house arrest and we celebrated with a trip to watch my Grandma compete on her horse, Ernie. When I first met Ernie I woofed a few times to let him know that just because I am small doesn't mean I'm not sassy! He backed up, so I know he got the message. After our initial meeting, Mom and I went to a heated room (it was a cold morning!) and watched Grandma and Ernie compete. They did great!


When they finished with their events we headed outside. Ernie wanted to eat some grass and I wanted to play with the farm doggies. We had a blast together but they had to leave after a bit, so Mom took the opportunity to snap a few Fall photos.


Before we left, all four of us snuck into the ring for a quick picture. I think it came out well!


I was tired after my busy morning, so we went home and napped. I guess I was out of working form!

I don't know what I did wrong...

...but I've been on house arrest for the past 3 weeks!!!! And worse yet, I have to wear a diaper all the time!!! What is going on??? Mom keeps talking about "the heat" all the time. I don't know what she's talking about because the very few times I'm allowed outside (for potty breaks only) it is pretty chilly. Mom said we're almost done with "the heat" which I'm hoping is human code for FREEDOM!!! I don't know how much more of this I can take!

Our Anniversary

I know I owe you all a HUGE update, but that will have to wait for now. I didn't want to let our anniversary pass by without mention, though. Mom and I met one year ago today. I thought she was super cool from the very beginning and I'm so glad I get to spend my puppyhood with her!

Another Puppy Class

Tonight was a long night for Mom and I-puppy class. We leave the apartment at 3pm and don't get home until close to 8pm. I do a lot of sleeping and playing so I don't mind it too much, but I think Mom actually does stuff so she may get a little tired. When we got there I had some playtime with all my friends. At first it was just Stanton, Caitlyn, and Magnum but soon the babies showed up and we had quite a group! Before I knew it, playtime was over and I had to head to the crate. Mom brought me my stuffed Kong, so I didn't mind too much.

After what seemed like forever, Mom came and got me for our class. We had been practicing our homework so we would be prepared for class. Can I just say that I was a shining star!!! My obedience was flawless and I stayed like a statue! When supervised playtime came around, I trotted around gingerly with a toy in my mouth. Seriously, Mom is so lucky she has such a perfect puppy!
