what a day

Yesturday was quite eventful, Dad kept telling me to get sleep on sunday and that I would have fun on Monday. Well Monday started off normal enough but dad didn't let me play with my friends to long and said we had to get going. Well we went in the car and went to this strange looking field. There were lots of dogs and I wanted to say hi and introduce my self to them but dad wouldn't let me. we sat for a while and I found if I kept trying to go to the other dogs dad would give me a treat, so I played that game for a while. Then we went with 4 other dogs closer to the wierd things in the field. Dad made me walk on this walk way, and when I made it across he gave me a treat and was so happy. then we went to this round thing and dad told me to go through so I stepped over it and again he gave me a treat and was so happy. I was beggining to like this place! Then dad told me to jump over these bars, I didn't have to jump but that didn't bother dad he still gave me a treat! This place was the best place I've ever been to!
that is until we went to this other thing. It was a scarry tunnel, dad tried to get me to go through but no treat was worth that, no WAY! then the woman that was talking to dad went away and came back with something that smelled soooo goood!!! she gave me a little piece, she became my bestfriend at that point! well she kept throwing the yummy treats on the ground and then through them into the tunnel, I guess there was a treat that was worth the torture of going in the tunnel, then I saw mom on the other side with more! I went through and mom gave me a big chunk! The best part was I survived! I found out that nothing bad happened if I went through the tunnel and dad always got happy and gave me a treat when I did it.

Later that night when we wer going to bed I noticed dad hadn't fallen asleep as quickly as he used to, I felt bad so I went over and jumped up on the bed gave him a lick and laid down. Something was bothering dad because he didn't fall asleep until the night was half over. I tried my best to help, I cuddled up next to him, and even put my head next to his. he kept petting me then finally he fell asleep.

I'm so tired this morning but I'll sleep all day and then be ready to play again when mama and dad get home!

My Hero

It's 2:10 pm, and I just got done with a really good body stretch after a great nap. I'm in my favorite napping place: under the table in the corner of the kitchen. I've heard my daddy say that he feels bad leaving me in the kitchen all day while he's at work, but I don't mind it at all! I think he worries about me too much. Why wouldn't I like the kitchen? I have plenty of cool water to drink, I listen to the radio all day, and I get a lot of space to nap, chew on my Nylabones, and lick pb out of my kong. I wish I could tell my daddy how much I love him and I would thank him for taking me home with him 9 months ago. He always takes me for walks, plays with me, brushes me, teaches me how to do tricks, and gives me treats. I give him kisses and I think he has been noticing that I've been smiling lately because I'm really happy to be with him. My daddy will always be known to me as my Hero. Signing off for now - woof!
