I need new toys!

It's been a busy week. After an exhausting weekend, I had to go grocery shopping, visit my friends at puppy group on Tuesday, go to the pet store on Wednesday and I've been on the go ALL weekend! Mom had a meeting at Guide Dogs on Saturday. I have to tell you, it was pretty boring for me. I had to sit and be good. Not a problem really - but it was a room FULL of other puppies!! And, the brat next to me kept getting me in trouble. I know he is a baby, but he kept wagging at me and poking me with his paw and just generally enticing me to play. How fair was that?!? Then, the dog on the other side of me took my GoughNut! Ummm... hello?!?! Does it really matter that I was chewing on a Nylabone? That is still MY toy!

After the meeting, Mom and I went to help Stacy and LaniJo. Really, that was an excuse. Mom wanted to visit with Stacy, and helped Stacy run some errands after they chatted for-EVER! Good thing I was sleepy! LaniJo is Stacy's working guide. I wish I could have chatted with her more, but some of us have to sit under the table and be good while mom's do all the chatting. How fair is that?!?!


So, Mom and Stacy took LaniJo and I to Petco, where the shopped for Chihuahua toys. How on earth does that make sense?!?! Two labs there with them and they buy Chihuahua toys?? These people are crazy! Mom was going to get me a giant Kong. But, I almost had to pick her up off the floor after she saw the price.

Now, she's shopping online! They are way way cheaper there. Think I can convince her to get me two?? She's trying a new blue kong that is supposed to be uber-tough (tougher than the black ones... which Accord could chew through in about 5 minutes flat) She's also looking at Zoom Grooms for me - I'm now sure what that is, but she's talking about puppy massage... I think I will like it! Now, what else should I convince her to get me??

Better go surf the web while I can!

Home Sweet Home

It's been a busy 24 hours! After playing in the kennel yesterday, these people came and picked me up. So, it was off we went to start my new life with my new 2-foot Mom and dad.
We made a couple stops - one was the best place ever! I LOVE going to the pet store! I got a new bag of food, a Romp-N-Roll and a Kong! Yea!

By the time we got home, it was my favorite time of day - Dinner Time!! It never lasts long enough though! I get SO excited about my food, then I blink and its gone! I always look at the bowl for a minute afterward, in case it decides to refill on me, but it never does. *sigh*


I got a great night's sleep and then we were off again! First, we went to church. Boy is that place confusing! First, you get lots of pets from kids (who won't share their cookies! *pout*) then you go sit down. Then, you stand up. Which means it is time to go, right?? Nope! You gotta stay still! Then you sit back down. People walk by and you can't sniff them. Then its time for a nap, but it's not a good one! Just when you get started on a good dream, the people wake you up! Twice I was chasing rabbits and once I must have had a food bowl in front of me - that's how hard my tail was wagging! But, just when I get to the good part, they shake me awake! How rude! Oh well, I know it is a good place, because Accord seems to have many friends who asked about him all day!

After that, we headed to some place called Benicia. It looked like a house to me, but that's what they called it. Dad's parents live there. It was so much fun to visit! I got to run and play in the yard (though, not until after I went potty! It's so hard to potty fast in front of new people! Until I went potty, I was stuck on my leash) I had a blast running around, chasing my Goughnut! That was fun, but the best part is that they are working on my recall so I got the "Come!" command lots! Why is that so great?? Because FOOD is involved!!! After a walk down First Street, we headed back home - for dinner again! Yum!

I'm settling in well. I'm having fun getting to know the kitties that live here and playing with the people. One last picture for today! This one is me (duh!) sitting at the end of First Steet.


What a day! I'm beat! I hear I get to go to the office with Mom tomorrow. That should be interesting - for everyone!
Love and Licks,
