LEARNING TO WALK WITH GENTLE LEADER

My Mom and Dad say I am doing great learning to walk with the Gentle Leader. At first, I balked and didn't want any part of it, but after the first walk I discovered lots of new things, met new people, and decided it wasn't so bad after all. Now when they say "lets go for a walk", I am raring to go and don't even protest the Leader. Some day maybe I won't have to wear it when I get to be a big girl. I even get treats for sitting when we stop and waiting patiently while Dad or Mom is talking to someone.

Some Advice to all Puppies Reading my Blog!

As you can see from my picture, this is the proper way to sit on the furniture. I was zooming through the house from the kitchen to the TV room and decided on the last trip to jump up on the sofa beside my Dad. Well, I jumped but something happened, and I bounced up and over the back of the sofa and was hanging on the back of the sofa and down behind it. My dad tried to lift me back up, but I am too big so he pulled the sofa out and my back feet then touched the floor and I could then stroll out from behind the sofa and go about my business. Boy, was I scared though. Dad and Mom had to laugh at me, but you guys out there, take it from me, don't you try that. You can see why trouble is my middle name!

PUPPY MANNERS CLASS -WHAT A BLAST!

Now that I have had all my shots, I can socialize with other puppies. Finnegan, an Australian Shephard, Jackson, A yellow Lab and I were the only ones in class. We played and played and boy did we have fun. Then we all practiced getting on the scale and trying to sit still. (Impossible) Dad took me into an examining room to practice being examined by Dr. Ron. (Old stuff, I been there twice already.) We got a lot of treats by making new friends with the other Moms there. Mom and Dad were proud of me for joining in all the chasing, growling and playing. Next week I have to start learning how to walk "nice" on my leash.

I was so tired and slept most of the way home and curled up on my blankie until bedtime.

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY DAYS

Yesterday we went to see Dr. Ron for my shots and checkup. He thinks I am "Precious". I am in fine health, and don't have to have any more shots for year. Yay! I weigh 22.9 pounds and am 14 weeks old. I had a big time with the tech girls and then slept most of the day.

I like to spend part of my time watching the birds in the back yard. I kept putting my feet on the windows to look out and that is a big no-no! So mom and dad gave me a stool and taught me how to put my feet up on it and make myself taller. I quickly figured out how to get up on it and sit down. Sitting on the stool is a lot of fun and now I can see everything going on in the back yard.

Today, we took a drive back to Fort Wayne to see my mom Molly and dad Jake. I was scared at first until I recognized mom Molly and then I kissed her and kissed her and we played and had a big time. Then daddy Jake came out and I kissed and kissed him too and we played but he probably figured, gee one those kids is back again! We had a nice time and I loved on Steve and Alexis and they loved on me. I was so tired I slept all way home and am in bed already and it is only 9:00 PM.
