long time coming...

mum's birthday!

hi all! it's been a very busy (and not always fun-filled) past month, and i apologize (as do mum and dad) for the lack of updates. certainly, there have been many things new happening in my life-- for one, i now weigh 29 pounds, and have all of my vaccinations!! this means that we can go to the dog park, and i can play with other pups without worry about getting sick! i've had my first (and second) visits to both of my grandpuppy-parents- a very messy, icky second one however to mum's parents because my tummy can't yet tolerate rawhide in any form. here's some photos to catch you up!

i love toilet paper...
being modest...

new friend (jim's golden puppy!)

that's all for now (mum needs to get to work!) i'll try harder this month to keep you updated-- oh yeah-- i just lost a bunch of teeth last week so now i don't bite as much (just jump up on things because i'm tall and can now reach them!)

Bum Colon

Hi everyone. Dad finally called the vet and she decided that I have colitis from eating something i shouldn't have (I am denying it...). Dad got some medicine for me and had to cook up rice and brown some ground beef for me to eat because it is easier on my tummy than kibble. I must say that i love the new combination and now I am really honing my begging skills. I feel better already...my bodily functions are returning to normal and I have a lot of energy.

I'm glad I'm feeling better because I get to go to a bike race this weekend and meet both sets of grand-puppy-parents...I'm very lucky. AND, mom is coming home tonight!! I really can't wait.

happy memorial day!

Hi everyone. Just wanted to wish everyone a happy memorial day.

The big news yesterday was that I was sick. I threw up a couple of times and had a bout of 'icky' poop. I pretty much slept all day which worried dad a lot. He even set his alarm for 2:30 last night to wake up and check on me. I gave him a dirty look because I was trying to sleep. I'm feeling better today though, I'm chewing everything in site and following dad around the house. He thinks he is going to get some things done around the house today... I'll be seeing about that!

Before I log out, here are a few more cute shots of me...

photo share!

Here are two of my newest favorites- dad and i napping, and me posing for mum! Have a good weekend!!

socialization?

Here is a photo-share taken at my school-- all of the distractions are clearly visible. Although mum and dad don't get it, you can see why I have such a hard time paying attention!

I guess you could say that my education is coming along well. Mum and dad, however, are doubting my ablilities to pay attention during class, and stop showing my dominance toward the other pups. I have to say, I'm a little embarrassed by the photo below; I just realized after it was taken (with a small reprimand from a trainer) that humping is very impolite. After a sanctioned "time-out", I was much more civilized.

I am getting better about car rides... as you can see, I simply have to sit down on the backseat, concentrate on not having what mum and dad refer to as "nervous yawns", and look cute. I can't wait until next week's class-- more yummy treats and friends to visit!
