Kicking Butt in Intermediate Class

I am kicking butt in intermediate class. My brother Jax is just being dumb!!! I can do heel, turn right, turn left, sit and stay, down and stay, stand and wait. Even the big treats in front of me don't get me distracted. Last week I even had a shopper and a dog cut through during down/stay and I didn't budge. I just kept my eyes on my mommy.


Jax couldn't do down/stay, he kept taking off and running through the store like a big dope. And he easily gets distracted by the treats. He just grabs them because he thinks they are for him.

Jax thinks he's the big cheese. He barks at the other dogs and thinks he's the boss of everyone. He's just a big doof. He thinks our teacher Tiffany likes him best, but Tiffany always gives me the good treats.

I found some new friends at class. Mommy calls them rats, chinchillas, and guinea pigs. They run around wheels in their cages and they climb all over each other. They are just fascinating to watch. Mommy says we can't take any of them home, so I guess I just get to watch them when I'm at class. I saw some birds today too. They look just like the ones in the backyard. I wanted to chase them, but mommy said no, leave it!!! So I did.

So this week I am going to cram for my final exam next week. I know I am going to ace it. Then I will have two degrees just like my mommy. Daddy better catch up!!!

This morning we went for a walk and Jax was barking at something. I looked but it was dark so I kept walking. Turns out it was a coyote!! The coyote crossed and then looked like it was going to follow us. Mommy started pulling us and running down the street quietly. She was telling Jax to be quiet and get moving. When we got on our street, Jax started messing with me because he was all riled up. Mommy was telling him to stop and get the lead out. We made it home and the coyote didn't follow us, whew....that was close! It looked like another dog, but mommy says they are wild and looking for food. She said it is good that we are big dogs, because they won't mess with us.

Well I must go nap under the fan on the pillow.

Peace Out,
