August was another busy month for me, and it was my birthday, which resulted in me getting a yummy treat (after I posed nicely!).
We went on a hike to some waterfalls and through the trees, which was fun to explore.
It was back-to-school shopping and back to the arenas for my hooman brother, so I spent time at the mall and arena charming people and making them smile.
I have been working on moving around the perch pot and changing positions – from a down to a sit.
