My new toys

So the other day, I was just hanging out in the kitchen and I discovered some new toys on the floor. I was so excited! They were brown and soft leather. Judging by the tags they must have come from a store called Steve Madden. Frequently mom and dad leave me toys around the house. Bones, paper towels, mail, magazines, car keys etc. I figure as long as I can reach it, it must be for me. All of the sudden out of nowhere dad starts freaking out on me and yelling and chasing me shouting OFF OFF! I don't understand why they give me toys and then the next minute take them away. It really is quite confusing.

The Cone

So one day, I was just minding my own business and out of nowhere I'm taken against my will to THE VET. I'm not a big fan of the vet. Usually they poke me and prod me but that was nothing compared to this. Daddy left me there by myself. The next thing I know I’m laying in a cage with a giant plastic thing on my head. I'm not sure what happened. Because of this giant cone hat, I can no longer lick my boy parts. Which, now that I think about it, were kind of sore. I found it very difficult to maneuver around my kennel without bumping into the sides and knocking the water bottle out. I also ran into a few corners. However, after about a week I was free!

Long Time

So it has been a while since I’ve posted a new message. I have been a very busy puppy. I am now nine months old and full of energy. Lots of fun things have happened since my last post. Here is a picture below of my new raincoat. My aunt Jolie gave it to me because it was way too big for her. It is too big for me too and quite frankly I think I look silly in it. I have not had to put it on yet since this one time. Paws crossed that I won’t have too again!

Road Trip

Howdy! It has been a while. Almost two months! Sorry for the delay. As I get older there aren't as many exciting things to talk about. I went on my first big road trip in May for my aunt Rachael's High School Graduation. We drove to Ohio from Missouri, over 12 hours in the Honda. I don't normally sleep so much but for some reason I just couldn't keep my eyes open during the trip. My cousin Rudy was kind enough to share his back yard with me. We had loads of fun running around in the rain and the mud. I spent the whole day running, jumping, digging and playing! It was so much fun! Above is a picture of me and my daddy and my best attempt at "girlfriend lips" in Ohio.

Walking

This is a picture of me on a walk. I love walks. You would think that it is an easy concept but no. I am learning how to heel, and walk normally, when i'm supposed to rather than run ahead like i'm inclined to.

Howling

It turns out, I can howl. While mom and dad thought that I might have been a calm dog, I am not. I have learned to howl. Below is a picture of me doing just that.

My Favorite Spot

This is my favorite spot. I love to sit on the sofa and look out the window at all of the cars driving by.

Puppy Class

As I said earlier, I have started advanced puppy class. This is me hanging out bored in class, waiting for my turn.

Lap Dog

I like to consider myself a lap dog. My breeders assured my parents that I would grow to no more than 15 pounds, the size of a perfect lap dog. Despite the fact that I have now exceeded 20 pounds, I still consider myself a lap dog. See the pictures below. I still fit! I STILL FIT!

Happy Dog

It has been almost a month since my last post. My apologies for the delay. I have been a very busy puppy. I have started advanced puppy class, my teeth are falling out and tomorrow I turn six months old. Six months! I can hardly believe it. It seems like just yesterday I was six inches tall running around chasing my tail and peeing on the sofa. Oh how time flies by. Below, is a picture of me smiling. I was very happy after just leaving the puppy park.
