One year old

There was a big blizzard on my birthday. The ground hog says spring is coming soon. I'm having a great time in the deep snow. Here's a few pictures from my special day.
Woo. What a day!

Faith

I saw my sister in class. I haven't seen her since we came home. She is very pretty. She is built more like Mom & Dad. Shorter legs and a solid body. No fat on her, just a strong girl. She had to be with 5 brothers!

11 months and full of energy

I'm still in training to be a service dog. I still have a lot of training to go. Sometimes I'm not so good for Mom. I love to surf the counters for things to get into. (Let me get that remote for you)

These are few examples of times I was trying to help Mom out. She did not appreciate my help.

(Can I help you cook?)I emptied the recycling bin and found a special prize. Mom said I'm too young to drink.She was right.

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.
