Training is going well... they're learning!

I thought I'd have a little fun this post.

Here's my self-portrait of me at the laptop. Man, I can get away with just about anything. Although, they're getting pretty good at catching me leaving them a present on the rug! Dave has a "hissy fit" but Pat always seems to understand and lets me get away with it.

.....after all, I am just a puppy!

 

We were riding someplace in the car and Dave thought he saw "Dumbo" in the clouds." Whoever that is!

Dave took me to meet this guy named Jack. He's really nice too. I got to ride in his lap. I think he knows things about dogs. We sat outside and I got to sniff around. Boy, there sure are a lot of doggy smells in that place. I had to sniff just about every inch of the edge of the road we walked!

 

They took me to this doggy store and I can't believe what they bought me....

I'm five months old and I'm a "jail-bird!"

Now, is this the face of a criminal?

I guess there are some places they want to keep me from running around. It's not all that bad, at least I'm in the same room with Dave and Pat.

You're going to love this story. I don't know what Dave and Pat think I'm doing but I love sitting on my "doggy" and riding him. They start laughing when I do this but its great fun and I get a lot of exercise.

 

I tell you Dave really knows how to get me going when we play. He makes "Bobo" pop up all over the place. I just can't help myself, I love scrapping to find "Bobo." Hey I was bred to hunt rats in tunnels, these stuffed play buddies have met their match!

 

But sometimes my age gets the better of me. Actually, Dave's a lot older than me so I give him a break by looking like I'm napping.

 

But, every now and then, I take a peek to see when he's napping!

Ahhhhhhh, I get into all these poses to let them see how cute I can be!

 

But something else very special happened a day or two ago. Dave's phone rang one evening and I could hear the voice talking. It was so familiar to me. I'm sure it was Becky! Her voice brought back sooooo many fun memories. They talked for a long time. She wanted to hear about all the things I was learning and experiencing.

 

 Gee, I had so much fun with my Mom, Haley and Becky.

 

I miss my Mom and Becky.

 

I know I'll see them again some time.

 

Between sitting on Pat's lap and Dave Playing with me, I just need to get some "me time!"

 

...and here...

 

Oh now this is really cool. Pat and Dave took me someplace where Pat left and Dave took me for this really terrific walk. We parked behind this big building with a cross on it and I got to walk all around

and check out all the new sniffing ground. I chased about two dozen of those lizard things. Darn, if I wasn't tied to Dave I'd catch my share of those things. I'm really quick! They get away from me on the hard surfaces but when they hit the grass, I'm on 'em!

Then we walked down this path and there was this big animal walking right across our path.

Dave took a couple of pictures of this thing. Dave's camera gave off a big light and it made the animals eyes look really scary! I think he told Pat we saw a deer.

 

I tell ya, Dave is easy. No matter what position I get into he points this clicky thing at me. So, I might as well give him a cute look. If he only knew what I was thinking!

 

He must have thought I was a good doggy, he was going to let me try moving the car!

 

All in all, today was a really good day! I watched Dave and Pat (from my barred prison cell) clean all these windows in this strange part of the house. Dave took me outside on this thing I was tied to that I could go far away and still be connected to Dave. That was kinda neat. It's much better than that short rope thing they tie me on! Then we played a lot.

 

.....and I topped it off by peeing on their carpet!

 

Yep, it was a good day!
