This month I got to go out a lot with my family.  I experienced my 1st fireplace and loved lying in front of the fireplace watching the fire and falling asleep.  I also had another PADS friend come to our house named Elora and we got to play together.  I still go to the elementary school to drop off and pick up the kids from school.  My mommy said I am doing great at grocery shopping at places like Costco and Walmart – mommy said I have learned to stop and wait while they look for items on the shelf.  I will even lie down while they are looking at the prices or trying to decide what to buy. 

I had fun running around in the snow that we had this month – my mommy said they had to watch my feet to make sure they didn’t get too cold or get salt in my paws – they said they didn’t have any doggy boots for me, but I was okay.   I got to go to a movie night at the school and barked once when the kids were too loud.  Mommy said I got all the kids to be quiet again and watch the movie after I let out the bark, she said I was like the teacher reminding the kids we were watching the movie. 

I also went to the dentist’s office and watched my sister get her braces checked.   Mommy noticed I ignored all the noises coming from the different offices, and focussed on her and had a small nap in the office.
