I'M A SNOW DOG! 04/24/2011

Mommy took me to the mountains for the first time and I got to play in the snow! Mommy said I am a snow dog by nature - she was right - when I saw the snow - I jumped and played for a long time - I LOVE THE SNOW!

Here are some pics of our hiking trip to Lyons Gulch at Roosevelt National Forest and Rocky Mountain National Park. I can't go on the trails at RMNP - but I can play around the picnic areas where all the snow is! We saw Bighorn Sheep and Elk - I don't know what they were - but they were bigger than me!

Doggie School Rocks! 04/17/2011

WUF-WUF

had a lot of fun with my Mommy today at Doggie School - I showed my teacher how good I am at my homework commands - and I got to learn new ones - now I know sit, shake, lay down, leave it, and drop it - also getting better at walking with Mommy and not pulling all the time.

ALL IS GOOD IN DOGGIE WORLD!

Training Progress and Almost Kitty Progress - 04/12/2011

WUFF WUFF!

Making progress with the kitties - they are slowly becoming not afraid of me - they will now stay in the same room with me - but still won't let me get too close - AND, the boy kitty slept close by me all night - but not too close - Mommy stayed between us.

Won't be long they will let me play with them!

Definitely progressing in my puppy training - I go to the door when I need to go outside to potty - and I have the "lay down" command down all the time now - Mommy is really proud of me!

Very Good Girl - 04/11/2011

I was a very good girl today - I did all of my homework and remembered all my new commands from school - I played with Shugga and Jake - I am starting to learn to stay away from the kitties - and I had special mommy time after everyone else went to bed - we played ball and I got a belly rub!

Yep - today was a good doggie day!

Doggie Kindergarten - Week 2 - 04/10/2011

BOW-WOW-WOW!

Had lots of fun in Doggie Kindergarten this week - showed my teacher how good I am at "sit" and "shake" - now I am learning "down" (for lay down) and "stand". I got to see my doggie friends.

Mommy took me to get cheese tater tots afterwards - that's my favorite part!

After we got home, we were both pooped and took a nap. Then, we worked on our homework and I was very good and behaved. I am learning how to let her lead me on the leash and not pull. Also, I really like the "down" command - because I get a tummy rub when I do it right! I let Mommy brush me good. I still want to play with the kitties, but am trying to stay away.

Won't be long I will be able to go camping with Mommy and my big brothers Jake and Tony and my best friend, Shugga. We are going to have LOTS of fun!

The day before school (Saturday) - we went for a long drive with Jake and Shugga (my doggie buddy) to look at houses - Mommy wants to find us a new home with a bigger yard so I can run and play. I don't have much yard now.

My Mommy sure loves me!

Good Girl - Well, Mostly Good Girl - 04/06/2011

I was a mostly good girl today.
I did not mess my crate.
I did not whine or cry.
I played ball with Mommy. It was fun.

And, I behaved. Well, sort of. I just can't help it. I want to play with the kitties so much. They keep running from me. Momo, my little bubba kitty, keeps hiding from me. He hid under a blanket in Mommy's lap, but I found him. I tried to catch Cheyenne, and she ran to Mommy's lap - and that's where I found Momo - I tried to kiss them, but they ran off.

Bummer.

Mommy just laughs. She said that Daisy loved kitties too. I bet Daisy is playing with kitties in Heaven right now and they don't run off.

Other than that, I did very well. I ate all my supper and slept all night right next to Mommy.

Mommy said when she adopted me, the rescue people gave her a big bag of dog food that has Daisy's picture on it. She said that Daisy is taking care of us. She's our guardian angel. Here's a picture.

No More Kitty Food! 04/05/2011

I really missed Mommy today while she was at work. When she got home from work, I stayed right by her side and gave her lots of hugs and kisses. I was a little fussy, because my tummy was upset. I guess it was because I got into the kitty food without Mommy looking. It gave me the runny poop.

I want so very much to play with the kitties - but Mommy keeps saying "No Kitty" - they need to take their time to get to know me better - I am so much bigger than they are that they are afraid of me - don't they know I just want to play?

Other than that, I was a good girl today. No accidents in the house. But I did whine when Mommy tried to put me to bed. She finally realized I was trying to tell her that I need to poop again and took me outside to go to the bathroom - Then she hugged me and let me sleep close to her all night.

That kitty food sure tasted good - but made my tummy hurt!
I will try very hard not to eat the kitty food again (but no promises).

Here's a picture of my new adopted kitty brother and sister - Momo is the boy short haired kitty - Cheyenne is the girl long-hair kitty - they sure are cute - just like me!

I AM SO PROUD OF ME! 04/04/2011

I was a very good girl today.

I didn't mess my crate.

I didn't mess in the house.

I behaved when I went to walk with Mommy and she took me to the pond. I love to walk by the pond so I can look at all the birds and ducks and geese.

Mommy gives me LOTS of hugs and kisses and treats when I behave, so I try very hard to please her.

I am doing well with my school homework, too. This week, I have to obey the silent "sit" command.

I did whine a little when I wanted to play with the kitties, but Mommy said I couldn't. They still need some time to get used to me.

HOWEVER, I went straight to bed at bedtime and did not whine or cry.

Today was a very happy doggie day!

THIS IS ME SAYING "I WUV YOU" TO MOMMY:

Doggie Kindergarten - Week One - 04/03/2011

BOW-WOW - had fun today at my first day of Doggie School - my teacher is very nice and gives me treats. I made new doggie friends. The best part is I get to spend special time with Mommy.

Here are some pics:

My Teacher, Leslie

My new friends

OH - and here's the park we went to on Saturday, 04/02/2011 - we stayed close to home today:

I really like this pond that's by our house - lots of ducks, geese, trees, and other birds - we even saw a Great Blue Heron!

Look at the Geese - they sure like to HONK!

There's a Great Blue Heron across this pond on a rock - hard to see - but I SAW IT!

Lots of birds in this tree - I was very curious about them - they make funny noises
