New cousin!

Hey everyone,

I know that I have been away for a while, but I have great news: I just met my new cousin! He is a little Morkie. He is almost six months old and is a bit smaller than me. He is visiting from LA ( wherever that is exactly) and he has such style. I met him a few days ago and it was obvious that we were going to get a long from the start. We began playing almost immediately and while I choose to wrestle and put my victims in a classic choke hold, Thumper chooses to paw his way to he top. Dirty fighting if you ask me. Of course, he is cute and can get away with it... at least for now. Unfortunately, he hurt his leg and now he is on bed rest. I guess he fell, at least that is what I over heard. No one tells me anything really. I wish he got better, I miss playing with him.

I have also started agility classes. Boy, am I having fun. I get to run and jump and practice my balance. I get so excited when it is time for my class. I try to get my mom to leave early every time so that I can try out the jumps early before the class.

I was a bit unsure with my first agility class, but I found out that it was all fun and even though I was the smallest and the youngest dog there, I could do everything the other dogs could. My favorite obstacles are the A-frame and the jumps. I love to jump and tower over my mom... finally I get the upper hand. It never lasts long enough. The class goes by too fast!

If you haven't given agility a try, you should!

Garden Visit

Wow, what I day I had! Nothing special happened right away and I thought that this would just be another relaxing Saturday. Things got interesting after lunch.

Later in the afternoon I went with my parents, a friend, and a new dog friend (a pit mix) to a botanical garden that was opening its doors to dogs and owners. It was fantastic. I was the center of attention--as usual--and I got to do some new things:

I met a wolf, watched a police and search dog demonstration, got to walk over a waterfall, played along a lake, and had a chance to try my skills on an agility course. Boy am I pooped! But it was a lot of fun.

I hope to go out tomorrow to a special dog festival at a local outdoor mall. I love it when they keep me busy.

New Year

I can't believe how much fun I had this new year's. I know it is a little late to be bringing it up, but I have been so busy that I couldn't find the time to dictate to my mom what I wanted her to put on here.

We spent this new year's (my first) at my grandparents house. It is a little farther north, and boy could you tell the difference. I froze my little tail off! I managed to figure out how to sit without actually putting my bottom on the floor. I just sorta hover... Anyways, I spent the whole weekend playing with "Jack" my most awesome best friend. He is a golden retriever and we love to run full speed around the back yard. He is really patient with me. I jump all over him and he just lets me. Just wait till I get bigger.

On new year's eve I was really tired, it was way past my bedtime, but my mom got me up and I sat in her arms as she toasted the new years in with her family.

I really don't see the big deal;however, if it gets me a chance to play with Jack anything is worth waking up for in the middle of the night.
