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.

First Trip Out

Wow. What a day!

I was a little frightened when I saw we were walking towards the car. The only trips I have taken so far have not been that fun and usually end with me being poked and prodded by some strange people.

But, today was very different. After a short drive I found myself surrounded by toys, people, cars, and smells. I was a little overwhelmed at first. I had to take a moment in the parking lot before I would walk all the way into the pet store. I perched myself on a little raised bit of grass and just watched the cars zoom by. I still can't get over how loud they were.

After a few minutes I was ready for an adventure, and boy did I get one. What a place! I can only hope that we visit this place again some time soon. I met so many new people and even got a new chew toy.
