Good day, all,
The month of May was WET!!! Not that I really minded, as I am a water breed after all. I was hoping to do more outdoor training throughout the month though. We still managed to get things done. This month I turn 6 months old, my how time flies. Check out the picture of me at 8 weeks and then at 6 months. I have grown quite tall already, but will continue to keep growing. I even surprised the vet with how big I am.
This month, I had my eye exam, and that was interesting. It was like a big party at the vet clinic, and I was super excited to see all my friends in a different location. Although, mom wasn’t so pleased with me. Thankfully, I got the “all clear:” my eyes are fine.
Besides the regular hospital visits and shopping excursions, we went to this other place where they were cutting up logs- mom called it a carving contest. It was loud as the people used chainsaws. I wasn’t allowed to show them how well I could carve sticks up. The humans made some interesting pieces though.
Lately, we have been visiting areas like parks where kids are playing. I really enjoy watching them. I wait a little impatiently, for some of them to come over and say hi, but mom usually stops them. I would really like to play with them though. We have been working on my greeting skills… I still have more work to do.
Well, I am still a work in progress, and that is why I get another year, to learn the proper skills to be a good service dog- I will keep working hard.
All the best, Giorgio
