Hi Everybody,
I am 63 pounds now, and I think I am pretty grown up, though my peeps still laugh at some of my behaviour, especially when I kiss the other dogs at the park before we wrestle and play. They say I’m a lover, not a fighter.
My folks had a new heat pump and air handler installed, and I wanted to go down and watch em, but I was not allowed. Shucks, they were so nice to me and could have used my help. But they gave me a cool greenfoot man to play with anyway, so I was a happy pup.
We also went to the Irrigation store to buy stuff to fix the spraying thingys in my yard, and I was a very good boy there, too. But I wondered why they had all that glue stuff and things that spit water, which they would not let me drink.
Plus, we go everywhere else too, Costco, Rona, Home Depot, and even out to dinner. Since I am such a big boy now, let me tell you about my day.
I hafta to do my training everyday, and in the morning my lady asks me if I wanna go to work. Well, duh, of course. So I do sides and heels perfectly and perches, moving slowly or even twirling. I really like perch exercises.
Then she takes a chair out and I perch beside it in both the side and heel positions. Then she says all done, did you earn your breakfast? I am very happy and run to the kitchen and wait for my bowl. Most days, we go to the dog park for recall exercises, and I am really, really good at that, even with other puppies around. And sometimes, we stop at the fruit market and I get a strawberry, mmmm! At dinner time, when 6 o’clock arrives, I give her the hard stare to say, “Is it dinner yet?” Then I get a walk with my guy, human, and more training on the way.
It’s a dog’s life, but this puppy enjoys every bit of it cause I hope to be a service dog one day!
Back at ya next month!
