Hi,

Well, 2023 is over. It’s been a busy month, starting with me going to a sitter the first weekend. There were Christmas parties, the first was our puppy class, Santa even came with one of his elves. We all got an ornament with our name on it, a Christmas bandana and treats which sadly I couldn’t have. Mom bought me a new reindeer sweater, it was fun seeing everyone in their Christmas outfits.

I got to join mom & dad at a couple of parties, not all of them though. Mom said this was a good time for me to kennel. There were 3 extra dogs at our house on Christmas Eve, they were little and we all got along really well. It got a bit crazy after dinner, but not me, I was such a good girl cause Santa was coming.

Now even though it was a busy month mom made sure we kept up with our training, and we did get a break from puppy class for a couple of weeks. Mom says I’ve become a cuddly girl, snuggling up and being heavy laying on people, the latest thing is I started sitting on people. I’m great at picking things up off the ground, this isn’t something mom has trained me to do, I just do it cause it’s fun.

We ended the year with a hike and then a training session at the mall with PADS Lohn & PADS Wilma. My cuz Rue spent NYE with us.

Happy 2024!
