Hi, everybody! Hope, here, and boy did I have a fun month! I’ve been to different malls, by myself and with some other PADS pups, and I even got to pick out some toys at one of the stores! I’ve also had some adventure walks outside where I’ve seen lots of other dogs, squirrels, crows, and some birds that float around on the water that are called “ducks”. (They didn’t interest me very much, to be honest.) I also went on a little bus down to the river market and tucked under the table while my moms chatted with some friends and drank “coffee” (which is something they seem to really like to do).
I’m learning how to walk with my mom on a leash, how to put on my cape, and how to go to my bed when I’m told. I’m learning something called “patience,” which means I have to wait until my moms say “yes” before I can eat my food. (It’s kind of a bummer, but I guess it’s not too much to ask.) I also learned “perch,” and I like putting my front feet on things, even when I’m not told to (rocks, stumps, stuff like that). I’m also growing fast! I weigh 28 pounds now, and everybody who sees me says how big I’m getting! My moms say I’m getting too big for them to carry around, but I don’t need that very much, anyway, ‘cause I’m a big girl now and I can get in the car on my own, go down stairs, and lots of other things that big dogs can do (like jump on the couch, which I’m told I’m NOT supposed to do)!
Well, that’s about it for now. I’ll have more exciting adventures to tell you about next month—bye for now!!
