I am almost 4 months old and have found that February for me seemed to go a bit slower. I have been going to my classes and learning to do a lot of things. I like going because I get to see the other bigger dogs and learn some pretty cool stuff. So many new things Iβve learned & now good at is Perch. Also getting good at tuck sit & some other new stuff.
One of my raisers went to the hospital and has been there all month. I have been going there a lot too, and trying to learn to settle next to the bed. Also, to ignore the doctors and nurses while they step over & around me to do what they have to. They always seem to apologize to me when they do. Theyβre all so nice and always say hi to me when I come. Everyone always smiles at me when they see me coming. With me going to the hospital so much I have also learned to be good in the vehicle while mom drives, and Iβm learning to walk slowly so the leash is loose because mom has to carry a lot of stuff when we go. Thereβs also so many different noises there and they donβt bother me. Neither do the weird smells.
Iβve also lost a tooth too. Mom caught me chewing on it and took it away.
Also this month, my dog mom, Nat, came to visit and stay with us for a few days. That was fun and we got to do lots of stuff together like playing. We like to play tug of war with some of the toys. Sheβs teaching me how to be good at it.
Oh and guess what? I also learned to walk down the stairs. It took me a long time to learn, about 2 weeks but my raiser was very patient and did it a couple steps at a time. I was just getting too heavy to carry.
I have learned to be in my kennel now for 90 minutes. I really love being in my kennel. Sometimes I go in it just because I want to.
