Graduation Day

I graduated from puppy school for beginners today. Because our batteries died, my classmate Addy's parents took my graduation pictures. Thank you very much, Mandi and Jeff!!! Mommy edited the pictures because she did not think she looked as pretty as I did. :)

Mommy and daddy say they are very proud of me. I got a huge graduation biscuit!!!

First Shower

I had my first shower today. Mommy was getting ready to take a shower, and she left the doors open after she ran the water. So, I surprised her by jumping in the shower. I love being in the water and having bubbles all over me. Oh! Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Tricks

Now, I do "sit", "down", "leave it", "take it", "fetch", "drop it", and "let's go"... We are still working on "off", and "roll over". Daddy says I am a smart boy.

I came up with a new trick. When mommy is taking a picture, I close my eyes and try to become invisible.

My new favorite toy

Because I ate my blue bone, mommy bought me another bone today. I LOVE it very much!

Mommy thinks I look cross-eyed in this picture...

Quality Time with Felix

Since Felix is still does not want to play with me, mommy and daddy put both of us in my crate for a while, so we would get used to each other. I liked Felix being in there with me, but I don't think he was very happy about it. We were all hoping that he would realize that I would not hurt him. He still does not want to play with me... It might have something to do with me jumping on him:(

Oh, by the way, I am a big boy now. I do not have to be crated after I eat...

Being lazy...

Although I am a very hyper puppy, I like being lazy from time to time...

Family Day

Today, we had a family day. Mark, Marlene, Ian and Caleb came over for a late Christmas get-together. I got to play with Ian and Caleb. I jumped on them a lot. They tried to hide from me but I found them. I love pouncing on them! Mommy and daddy say I should not do that to people but I am just a little puppy! I got Christmas presents again :) I got a bag of Milkbones and a kong from Mark and Marlene and the boys. I am the luckiest puppy!

Wiped out...

When daddy asked me to go in the car, I wanted to jump in the driver's seat. I guess I am too young for that, because daddy told me "no".

I was very tired from all that attention and my class, I was falling asleep in the car...

Look at the size of my new bone....

School Time!!!!

Daddy drove mommy and me to school in his car. I like watching out the window...


I got to meet a lot of people and dogs at Petsmart today. We could not walk because people would stop and pet me. They all said I was a very handsome boy and that I had soft fur. I fell in love with a little girl named "Brenda". I gave her many kisses... Then it was time for school... ( If you look close, you can see me on the far left corner)

Today, they taught us how to sit, which I already knew. We also practiced loose leash walking. After the class was over, I checked out the toys...

Getting ready to go to school...

I played with my toys until it was time to go to school. Then I rested a little...

Then I attempted to play with Felix, but he was not interested...

First Day at School...

It was a very exciting day for me today. I started puppy school at Petsmart. Before we went, mommy brushed me and washed me up with baby wipes. She also took a picture of me with my books...

There were five other puppies in my class. I was the biggest puppy of them all! I wanted to meet all the other puppies and play with them but the teacher asked us all to sit down.

I got so excited I had to pee pee in the middle of the class. I was a good boy and I told daddy I had to go out by panting in his face. My daddy knows what that means.

After the class, I got to watch the birdies for a little bit. We did a little shopping. I got a new toy, a new collar and a big bag of yummy food. We got to use the gift certificate mommy's friends at work gave us for Christmas. Thank you all!!!

New Year's Day...

We took our Christmas tree down today. I feel bad because I made it very hard for mommy to put the ornaments away. I wanted to eat every single one of them. But I tried to make it up to her by helping her clean up... The floor smelled so good; I could not help but start licking it.

Snow...

I love snow... I don't know why mommy always complains about the snow in New England. Snow is fun!!! I like running like crazy in the snow. I even make doggy snow angels...

Happy and content...

It was a crazy day today. I do not know why, but, boy, was I hyper today! I chased my kitty brother, Felix... I jumped on mommy and Megan. I put my nose into the shopping bags mommy and Meg brought home. I finally calmed down with my big bone...

Felix would not let me in...

I wanted to surprise Felix by coming through the back door but he was not very thrilled with it... It makes me sad :(

I am a good helper!

I helped mommy with the laundry today. Do not tell daddy but I chewed up a couple of his socks... Opps...

I got into the Hershey Kisses bag that mommy hid in the closet... I got to grab a couple but mommy took them away from me :( I was so upset with the fact that I could not eat any chocolate, I did not let mommy take a picture of me with my chocolate face.

We were also thinking about taking our Christmas tree down today. So I tried to help by yanking the tree down, but mommy stopped me. Maybe it is not how it was supposed to be done... Just as well... because my kitty brother, Felix likes hiding under the tree. I think we will leave the tree up until next week!!!

Nothing like a belly rub...

I absolutely LOVE my belly rubbed. Daddy does a great job! When I lay down in front of his recliner, he rubs my belly with his foot. I could just lay there for hours...

Rainy Day...

It was pouring today when we went out first thing in the morning. Mommy thinks it is all funny and cute that I am all wet. It is hard to understand humans some times...

The Day After Christmas

Today we are just relaxing and taking things easy. I learned how to shake hands today... I am starting puppy school next weekend!

FIRST CHRISTMAS

I was very excited on Christmas morning. I have been sniffing, and trying to sneak a peak at the presents under the tree forever! I finally got to open my presents this morning. And I did it all by myself. This one is a big beef flavored bone!!! My stocking was full of yummy treats... Felix got a remote controlled mouse. He loves it... I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!

I did not like the Christmas afternoon as much because my mommy, daddy and sister, Megan went to a friend's house for dinner, and I had to spend a few hours in my crate.
