The Life of Shadow

My 6th Entry at 2 Years Old

Hello everyone! Sorry I've been gone for awhile. I haveb't done much since then actually. My mommy took me to a park and I got to run around in a giant field and chase rabbits. Of course I didn't catch any, but it was still fun. Then after I played with a tennis ball and ate some dinner while I watched my mommy play tennis. Did I tell you that Tess (my mommy) has decided to make me a junior showmanship dog? I'm SO excited!

My 5th Entry at 2 Years Old (June 29, 2006)

Hello everybody! Here I am again! Well, guess what? Tess decided to put me on a new diet. She is also going to register me into AKC so she can show me in junior showmanship! Isn't that awesome? But about the diet, Tess is going to feed me a teeny bit less food, but still twice a day, and there are different ingredients. She has recently introduced me to a weight loss dog food instead of lamb and rice regular, and she also adds low fat plain yogurt, carrots, and chopped lettuce. Mmmmmm, mmm, it is GOOD! Lady and I LOVE it, and not only that but it also helps our weight loss so we can grow into fine looking Einglish Springer Spaniels! Yay! Oh yeah, and some more big news too. Remember Norman, the Boston Terrier? Well, it turns out....his owners and Tess know eachother! I can't believe my mommy knows that little fighting machine! But I guess I'll have to live with it. Also on my walk today, I saw Buster, and Australian Shepherd that lives kind of near us. He's nice, and he is a retired police dog. Cool, huh? Well, I have to go now. See you in tomorrow's entry!

My 4th Entry at 2 years old (June 28, 2006)

Well, today wasn't much of a day for me. I have a funny story about this morning though. Well, last night I was sleeping on Tess's bed, and since I am a "heavy sleeper" (you could say), I fell off the bed! Luckily it woke Tess up and she saved me. Anyway, the rest of the day I was just relaxing and playing with my toys with Lady. Tess and Alina got to go swimming at their friend's house, which is only four or five houses across the street from our house. They have a giant Golden Retriever that is one of those dogs that it OBSESSED with any kind of ball, and I mean OBSESSED. He will find a million ways to play with it by himself if no one else will throw it for him. Not that anyone can, he won't give up the ball for you! You'd have to pin him down to get it out of his giant mouth! They have a pool in the backyard and if his ball falls in, so does he! He'll swim circles around the pool just to get it. His name is Duncan, and he is actually my best friend. Duncan's owners also have a small little Black retriever mix named Carly, who is sadly half blind and half deaf. However, since she is too old to play, sometimes when I am on a play-date I cuddle with her to cheer her up. Going back to Duncan, he is Tess's best friend too. I heard that today when they were swimming, Tess threw Duncan's ball in the pool so he could jump in, then Tess would grab onto him (gently) and he would give free rides around the pool! Tess said it was fun to just grab onto a giant furball and be pulled all around the pool. Well, on my walk I didn't see any other dogs unfortunately. That was my day today! See you in tomorrow's entry!
