I started April off finishing up a visit with a sitter while my raiser and her family were off (without me?!).Β No matter – my lovely sitter had kids and aΒ whole different work environment for meΒ to explore and learn from, so I was a happy camper!

Then I had a birthday! That’s right – Happy Birthday to ME! Apparently, I’d completed my first trip around the sun, and the humans were happy to celebrate.Β I’m always up for a party,Β andΒ I LOVEDΒ my birthday present.Β The humans bought me this lovely crunchy hole-filled apple. They put my kibble insideΒ andΒ I have to pull out all these fun (and squeaky!) worms to get my treats. I’m not good at keeping it clean, but I am very good at taking my appleΒ aroundΒ with me everywhere at home.Β 

On the work sideΒ of things, I am getting good at being out and about at school with less kibble. I know my routines well andΒ continue to beΒ great with people and crowds. Now – throw another dog into the mixΒ andΒ I tend to be quite excited… but I’ll work on this in my second year.Β 

Until May!
