Visiting School

I am still going to kids schools to teach them about service dogs. This time it's in Fraser.

Mom went to this school when she was a puppy. The first time I went this month I was a little squirmy. I wanted to play with those little people. I went back 2 weeks later and I was perfectly behaved. Think I'm getting the hang of this.

More christmas fun

Helping Mom put up the tree.

Mom loves to dress me up. Santa better give me good treats for this. Time for another photo shoot. I wanted to eat the snowflakes.

MMM tastes like chicken :)

What's a Santa?

Mom took me to the pet store to visit someone special.

She said Santa brings treats to good puppies. He smelled really good.

I wanted to chew his beard.

Mrs Claus was there too. I liked her a lot.

I haven't been on the naughty list, have I?

AIDS Quilt

Today I had a special trip. I got to see a big blanket with peoples' names on it.

They are all over the rainbow bridge. I want to snuggle on it but

Mom says it's only for looking at. Grandma and Ms Kathryn helped these people before they went to the bridge.

I think that is VERY special!

My 7 Month Birthday

Today I am 7 months and 44.6 pounds. Aussie is only 50.

I am already a little taller than her. We like to play all day.

Mom says it sounds like a herd of Buffalo.Today was also a special day. I went for a fancy walk called a "Santa Scamper".

Everyone got in a line and when some said GO we all ran. It was fun. There was a parade with bands and floats, people on bicycles and even some bag pipers. I got to watch for a whileThere were big balloons. I was scared for a minute but then thought NO big deal!Now that I am becoming a big girl I have to remember my manners all the time.

That is tough to do!

the photos

Ellen does such a great job capturing my cuteness!

Stay tuned. More adventures to come!

Long drive to Grandpa's

Here I am at Grandpa's house. It's pretty nice. Lots of green grass and hills. They even have sticks and flags coming out of holes in the ground. Mom says I can't play with that.

There are beaches with sand and light houses up here. It is really windy! I want to chase the leaves.Mom says this is grandma's favorite place. I can see why.

Grass to hide in.

Sand to run on and a big pool!

chasing my stick.

got it!

Look. I'm a pointer. Bird?

Then we went to a place that has cows AND ice cream.

Vanilla cone please?
