July already?!?!?!?

it has been a while since i have written anything here...but oh my i have been a busy puppy! i have access training every day with momma...she even took me to the movies!!! it was real dark in there but it was cool in the a/c. i laid at momma's feet and took a nap. i didn't even try to eat the popcorn on the floor or bark when everyone screamed!!! momma just petted me and whispered to me..."hush, babyboy, momma is fine and so are your girls, hush now and settle my little Prince" i knew we were all safe so i fell back asleep with my head on her foot. we have also been going to the beach...i have to wear my vest there because pet dogs are not allowed there. the lifeguards all smile and say what a handsome boy i am and remark how hard i am working...i don't think i am working hard at all *shakes head* nope, i get to eat popsicles, lay by my momma and watch my girls swim in the ocean. i won't go in the ocean though!!!! nope nope nope!!! not this pup!!! we watched the fireworks on the 4th of July...it was AWESOME!!! momma and her friends said i was "bombproof" cause the fireworks didn't bother me...i was kinda disappointed though....there wasn't enough of them!!!! the bbq was yummy and swimming all day with my pal gracie and my girls made the day perfect!!! well, it is time to go out to supper with momma and her friends...see yall later!!! *bounds to the door and waits to be vested so we can go*

new boots!!!

well momma and i have been very busy!! her birthday is coming up on monday, May 2, and i am working on what new trick i will do for her as her birthday surprise *tail wags* i am learning all kinds of new and exciting things to help momma. when she is about to have a panic attack i lean against her and lick her hand until she pets me, and if she gets worse i jump on her lap and give her deep pressure therapy. i have told her twice her blood sugar was very low and three times when it went high. i have led her out of the building when she felt scared and closed in without being told! *woofs* she was very proud of me. i haven't been able to go to training as often as momma would like due to gas prices but we work every day on things called "tasks, work and obedience" i personally prefer "pet the puppy, feed the puppy, praise the puppy, and play with the puppy" but momma is in charge *puppy sigh* we met a new friend yesterday who gave momma a new cage for my sister's new pet rat. the nice lady also gave momma a set of boots for me so my paws won't get burned on the pavement or sand. thank you, Jo!!! momma tried them on me last night. they felt weird!!! momma, Jo and my sisters laughed at me and said i was high stepping while i was trying to figure out how to walk with those crazy things on my feet! *grumbles all embarrassed* momma says i will get used to them and i will be grateful for them as the summer gets hotter and we go more places. momma takes such good care of me. *beams* well, it is time to go get my vest on cause momma and i have to go to the doctor for her....i love helping her! ooh i hear her calling me!!!! (Leasha, Tao!) talk to yall soon!!! *bounds out of the office and sits by the front door to be vested and booted*

2 weeks!!!

i have been living here for two whole weeks now!!!! my momma loves me very much *wags tail* she works with me every day and i am learning all kinds of new stuff!! i wear a vest when i am working but when that vest comes off.....PUPPYTIME!!! *WOOF!* she takes me everywhere with her except to work cause she works in her patients' homes. i love my two new sisters....and my younger sister, mckayla, might be getting a service dog soon too!! momma says she wants a full grown, trained service dog for her though cause she is only twelve and needs more training herself. i hope the one momma picks will play with me sometimes and not just be all work. i love working...i get to go shopping!!! and meet lots of new people and see new things. i do have two things i have to work on....1. don't bark when i see a new dog and want to play with them 2. load up into the van when momma says "load up" instead of refusing to get in. the sliding door scares me!!!!
oh another thing i have to work on is to stay off the Dragon's chair and furs in the living room and to not chew up momma's high heels...but oh my....Isabella Fiore and Bandolino's are sooooooo YUMMY!!!!! i have also been eyeing momma's Dooney and Bourke computer bag....ooh i hope she forgets about and and leaves it where i can reach it!!! YUMMY LEATHER!!!! momma does try to distract me with new chew toys, puppy crack (greenies) and tasty little training treats..speaking of which..Zuke's salmon mini naturals are the HOLY GRAIL of training treats!!!! *drools*
okay yall, momma is saying it is time to go for a walk before she goes to work. i hear her calling for me...(LEASHA, TAO!!) which means, come sit at the door so momma can snap on my leash or put on my vest/harness/leash so we can go bye-byes!!!!
see yall later!!! *bounds out of the computer room to the front door and sits with tail wagging*
