Agility

Today I became an agility dog :)
I'm taking a class to learn to run an agility course. It started tonight and it was so much fun. I am the smallest and youngest dog, but that doesn't bother me. I enjoy running and jumping. I can run up and down ramps, jump through rings and over poles. The hardest part is the weaving poles. I don't quite understand that, but I only had an hour to take a crack at them. Hopefully next week will be just as good.

Spayed

Yesterday I went in to get spayed and had to have my top baby fangs removed. I also found out my ear infection came back :( I'm not happy having to wear a cone on my head for 10 days and taking lots of medicine, so hopefully the days will go by fast. The painkillers knock me out but last night I woke up several times trying to get more confortable, its hard to sleep under covers with a cone. It's been pouring rain and there was even a tornado warning, so I still can't go outside. I really don't like the rain. I can't wait til I can lay in the sun again.

My first vacation

This past weekend I went on my first vacation. It was a long car ride, I slept most of the way though. I barely sat in my dog seat, it was much more fun to cuddle up on a lap and look out the window. I got to visit with my feline cousins Tilden, Ali and Owen. They weren't too fond of me though being of a dog. We went to a couple cool shops where the people paid lots of attention to me. Dog Bone Alley in Alameda was great. I got a cool new carrier by Pet Flys with a skull and crossbones on the side and a nice cozy little blanket inside. It will take some getting used to, but its much cooler than my previous one. I've already started putting my toys inside.

Today I played my first keyboard. It makes lots of cool noises and its fun to jump on. I still haven't figured out how it works, hopefully I will soon.

Next week I'm going to get spayed. I was supposed to today, but I don't want to miss my puppy school on Saturday, they're going to be playing lots of fun games. It might rain though, so puppy class could get cancelled. Paws crossed it doesn't.

Tomorrow we're going to the dog beach so I can romp around in the sand and water. I can't wait. I love meeting all the other dogs and the feel of sand between my toes.

accidents and more teeth

Today was very eventful.

While playing fetch & tug, I lost 3 more teeth. Hopefully they will all grow back in a week so I won't be all gums.

During the superbowl I got very excited by a noise outside and was jumping against the sliding glass door. My mom came and opened it for me, and I went to run out as fast as I could, but the screen door wasn't open, I was too quick. I must have bounced back a foot. I felt very foolish, so much I wasn't interested in going outside after that, even if she opened the screen door for me.

first day at the beach

Today I saw the ocean for the first time. I had a lot of fun on the beach with lots of other dogs at the Huntington Dog Beach. I got sand all over, even up my nose. I tried to drink the water, it was nasty and I started choking. I'm hoping to go back in a couple weeks when its warmer.

teeth

This week my teeth just started falling out. I lost my first 4, 1 fang and 3 molars. The first one didn't want to come out though, and needed a little help. The rest fell out after playing fetch/tug. Three have already begun to grow in so I can chew (and bite!) normally again.
