Photo Update for the Big 100!

This marks my 100th post on my blog! I've been very busy these past few weeks, so I'll get you up to speed in photos!

Right before Thanksgiving, Yara and I toured the Capitol building. Mom and I have lived here almost two years so it was about time that we looked around ;)


Mom and I visited Eleanor Roosevelt's place, Val-Kill.


We graduated from college!


We moved home just in time for Christmas decorating. I even helped!


Mom and I have a little over a month left together. We have been taking it easy with lots of playdates and fun outings. Maybe after the holidays we will step it up a bit, but Mom says I am perfect just the way I am so we will just stick to the fun stuff!

Merry Christmas

Busy Weekend

This weekend was one of Mom and my last ones up at college. Between the holidays and trips home, we really won't have anymore chances to explore the area before moving out so we tried to make the most of it.

First we headed into the city. We went over the pedestrian bridge and into the park where Mom insisted on picture taking. Because I am so cute, I obliged.





After that we went back into the city and explored. I don't know where Mom got all her energy from, but I was not having any of that. We did a few blocks and then I gave Mom "the look" letting her know I was tired and ready to go back to the car. I better find a lazy partner in the future, I can't handle all this activity every day!

I was still pretty tired the next day when we went to visit Yara. I basically ignored all her play bows and happily chewed on her bone. Did I mention Yara has the best bones?!?! After "playtime" (I'm not really sure you can call it that anymore...) we went to the park. We played in the water for a bit and got really muddy. Mom and Yara's mom decided this constituted a pit stop at our apartment for a bath. Luckily, I wasn't that dirty so I just got hosed down. Poor Yara had to get the whole rinse-lather-repeat routine since she has all that fur! We both managed to survive the ordeal, though. I even managed a little playtime before Yara left.


When she did leave, I was ticked to see everyone leave without me! Mom has been trying to get me used to staying home alone without being in my kennel, so she figured I could handle the twenty minutes it would take to drop Yara and her mom off. I did just fine (of course!), but I would have rather taken a ride.

I'm an agility dog too!

Irie is on the Disabled List for the next few weeks. She has a boo-boo in her leg that makes her limp a lot. What does this have to do with me? Well, I get to take over her spot in agility class! I'm not nearly as fast as Irie, but I can do all of the obstacles. Everyone at class thinks I am so cute and all the dogs share their cookies with me. Now I know why Irie loves coming to class every week! Mom is going to try to get some pictures of me doing my thing so you can see me. I'll post them when we can wrangle a photographer for the day :)

Happy Halloween!

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.
