A New Year

I had a great Christmas. The floor was covered with toys. Owen Aussie Chopper and I are very spoiled. There was even a giant puppy to play with. Poor Owen. He puts up with a lot.We had to wear these silly hats for a party. I have been enjoying playing in the snow. I can even leave my tracks behind. Kind of cool I think.

Christmas time is here

Exciting things are going on in my house. There is a pine tree inside my house. There are boxes with shiny paper under it. Mom but the x-pen around it so I couldn't play with those good smelling boxes. I love to rip up paper. I wanted to chew on the branches too. Mom says "leave it!" She spoils all the fun. Grandma, Grandpa and Owen are staying at our house. He is fun to play with. He puts me in line when I get a little out of control. I need to respect my elders. Owen is not supposed to be on the couch. I wasn't going to tell on him .I love to play and wrestle but Grandma said I make her blood pressure go up. Aussie was giving her a face wash. We wouldn't want any crumbs left behind.I look like a big dog but I'm only 10 months, still a puppy.I also got to go to the mall with my class. We saw Santa. My teacher Dean said we all did very good for such a distracting place.

AMVETS

I went to a party this week. There were nice people called AMVETS. They help pups like me pay for college. That way our new families don't have to pay for training. There was a lot of noise and kids running. I had to be on my best behavior. They all thought I was very handsome. Ukon showed me how to go down and under. It was kind of boring after a while.

What's a turkey?

I & my classmates went on an adventure. We went to a farm where they had funny looking birds. Their voices were very loud! They would scream and run when we came near the fence. Didn't they know I just wanted to say hello and give them a sniff?

Photo Day

Our friend Ellen does a nice thing for us pups. She takes fancy pictures our Moms can use for holiday cards or just to frame. That makes sure our mom's don't forget what we look like when we go to college. My Mom could never forget me. I look just like my half brother Mac.

Walt Disney World

Well I was supposed to fly on a plane but we had a change of plans. Instead I went to visit Miss Liz, Sirius & Luna. We went to a place called "up north" I had fun. Too bad Miss Liz knows the rules. I couldn't get away with anything!

My friend Mogli took my place in Florida. Here he is reporting in:

Hi Mogli here. I met Miss Andrea at her hotel. She had a big room to run around in. Mom Natalie said I should walk with Andrea for practice. I kept looking to see where my Mommy was.

Miss Andrea called me a Momma's boy. What ever that means. We also visited where Andrea goes to school. Her school is different than Natalie's. I also showed Andrea around Universal. I'm here all the time. I showed her the ropes. Jaws and Harry Potter world.

I even took a drink of Butter beer when Andrea spilled hers on the ground.MMM yummy.

I met another PAWS dog there too. His name was Phoenix.I'm glad Andrea came to Florida. We had a great time. Would have been more fun if Felix came too. Maybe next time.

Poor Felix - all he got was a bandanna and a silly hat!
