Doggie Dynamics:
Yesterday Jack Jack, Bebe and I got to hang out at Grandma's house. We've been doing that a lot lately, which I love. I love my Grandma! Whenever I see her I get so excited that I do the Pommie butt wiggle. When we go visit her, the second Mom opens the door Jack Jack and I shoot off to go find her.
Yesterday Mom opened the door and Jack Jack and I went to find Grandma. But wait... There's a strange smell. It's not a kitty... It's not a Wiener... What is it? I ran over to Grandma and gave her kisses. Then, I noticed it on the sideboard. A tank, like my turtle brother Sparty's. But it wasn't a turtle tank. Sparty's tank has rocks, water and a light. This tank had a wheel, shavings and a tube. I ran to the arm of the couch to try to see what was inside. I struggled to see and maintain my balance. Mom and Grandma talked for a little while, then Mom got up and moved the tank to the counter. I jumped up and down, up and down over and over again to try to see what was in the tank. Mom picked me up and told me it was a gerbil, and her name is Penelope. Grandma is gerbilsitting her for her neighbor's daughters while they go away. Then, Mom let me see the gerbil! I didn't get to sniff her in furson, but I got to lay next to her tank. She was very pretty- grey with white spots, and she was just as curious about me as I was her. I spent a few minutes talking to Penelope, then Mom put me down. Hopefully next time I'll get to sniff her!
For the past 6 weeks I've been taking Good Manners 2 with my trainer, Miss Debbie. Graduation was this week, and we played a game called "My Dog Can do that" to see who would be Valedictorian. It's a board game, and you choose a challenge card- either Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Each card has a challenge on it for a certain number of spaces depending on difficulty. Mom consistantly chose Advanced, and I consistantly was AWESOME! We had to do all sorts of wacky things- sit/stay, then she'd skip away, throw some treats down and I'd have to come past the treats. Sit/stay, she'd crawl away, then I'd have to lay down in front of her (that was really hard- I wanted to hump her leg). Lots of sit/stays. I was awesome every time! I never used to be able to sit/stay. I would get anxious and just couldn't do it. Thanks to Miss Debbie's guidance, it's finally kicked in. I beat everyone, and was named Valedictorian!!
After class we got to play for almost an hour! I ran around like a wild man and outran Miss Debbie's Boxer Nigel and Peyton, the wild Lab in class. I really enjoyed face fighting with Wilson, the Yorkie/Poodle and racing around getting chased by everyone! They couldn't match my Wild Pommie-ness!
Last night Jack Jack, BeBe and I were going potty when Mom said "Do you want to see Grandma? Where's Grandma?" I got SO excited! I looked left. I looked right. I jumped up and down. Where is she? Mom said "Let's go!" and we turned the corner. I immediately recognized Grandma's car. I jumped really high. Could she see me through the windows? I jumped higher. Mom opened the door and I quickly jumped in. OMD! GRANDMA! I jumped over the passenger's seat and into her lap. I showered her with kisses as Mom buckled BeBe and Jack Jack into their seat belts. Mom said it was my turn, and I reluctantly went to the back seat to be belted. Better safe than sorry, you know?
Mom thought Grandma was just going to take us to Grandma's, but Grandma had decided we should go to dinner with them. Yay! I love going to dinner! Grandma always makes sure to order something for us pups.
We got to the restaurant, Russell's and I remembered where I was. I haven't been there since I was a puppy. It was Grandpa's favorite BBQ place- when he was a child his Dad, my Great Grandpa, owned a wholesale fruit/veggie shop. Grandpa used to drive to Russell's to deliver fruits and veggies when he was a kid, so Russell's holds a lot of significance. When I was a puppy Grandpa liked for me to go everywhere with them, so we used to go to Russell's a lot. After Grandpa passed Mom and Grandma didn't go as often, and when they did they usually went when the weather wasn't great, so we couldn't sit outside.
Mom and us pups sat outside while Grandma got the food. At Russell's you get your own food, so while Grandma was inside, we had to wait patiently outside. Jack Jack had dined al fresco before, so he knew Grandma surely was going to get us something to eat. BeBe never had, so she wasn't sure what was going on. I tried to tell her it was a surprise, but she was a little nervous.
Grandma arrived soon after with a big box of food. Mom had my leash tied around the bench of the seat so I couldn't get to grandma on the other side. Grandma started rifling around in the box and getting food out. I woofed at her quietly, and she told me if I wasn't polite I wouldn't get dinner. YES! We were getting food! I told ya, BeBe! Grandma got out our hamburgers (very rare, of course), but they were too hot. I shifted on my bench. I started Grandma down- maybe this was a Watch Me test? I sat. I downed. Finally, what seemed like hours later, the burger was cool enough for us to eat.
We ate quickly (well, us pups at least) and Mom and Grandma sat and talked about Grandpa. It's almost been 2 years since he left for the bridge, and we still really miss him. After eating I talked to Jack Jack and BeBe about him, because they never got to meet him.
After eating, we went back to Grandma's house for a little bit, then home to sleep with bellies full of barbeque!
