Everybody Loves Sasha

My Step-puppies

G'mornin' everyone! Just thought I'd give everyone a chance to oooohh and awww over Sally and Rockefeller (Rocky.) They are my step-puppies, the offspring of my hubby Ricky and his girlfriend Happy. I'm not too jealous, because now Happy's away from us taking care of her pups, and I get to be with just Rick again. :)
Note: For those who haven't caught on, I simply refer to my owner, Julie, as 'J'. It saves ever-so-much time. ;)
J is sick today, though she went to school as usual. We're hoping she's feeling better tomorrow so we can go visiting at the rest home (tomorrow's Wednesday!) but J's not sure if it would be a good idea to risk exposing those people, who already have low immune resisitance, to another sickness. So we'll see how it goes.
Yesterday Ricky got a bath... he loves taking a bath, unlike Happy and me, because he adores being blow-dried afterwards. You should see him, making a fool of himself just to be cuddled and have hot air blown at him. He's a funny guy, all right. :-p

A Little More About Me

I'm a fun lovin' little blonde (okay, so they call it 'cream'), athletic and oh-so-cute, and I love licking noses! I was bought to be a breeder.. the horror, but I get along oh so well with my buddy Ricky that it's all good. My human can't tell for sure yet, but we think I'm expecting my first litter in a month! That'll be a little weird, but will ensure me more time with Julie (my human- please don't refer to her as my 'mom' because that's HER pet peeve).
I'm a self-taught service dog. At least I'm doin' my very best to brighten the lives of my friends at the rest home down the road from Julie's dad's office. Every Wednesday I head off with Julie's dad to his physical therapy office where I spend the morning in my roomy kennel box (at least that's what Julie THOUGHT! Turns out they let me run around.. but shhh.. ) Then when J's done with her classes at the college, she comes over and takes me visiting for a couple of hours to the rest home. I like going there, and I'm learning to lie down next to people and let them pet me quietly instead of tearing around like crazy or licking their faces. Occasionally I balk and refuse to go near a person, but J[ulie] understands and won't make me... usually turns out there's a good reason.
Hmm.. I love being outdoors, and walking or running is the greatest, so long as I don't have to go more than 20' in the same direction. :p
I do some agility, but as I'm CKC, not AKC we don't plan on really competing. (CKC so far only has events on the east coast- that I've seen) I also go hiking with J's family sometimes, and so far have gone backpacking once. That was great fun, though J's dad teased me by calling me 'bear bait' Ha. As if I can't run faster than all of them. ;)
I must go check on Ricky.. he's probably up to some mischief.. so ttyl!
Yap!
