My life with Mommy

Home Run!

Bow-wow! Yesterday was an exciting day. I got to go with mommy to my first major league baseball game. We went with the Service Dog Foundation and my buddies Henry, Missie and Sam were there also. We had our own table and people stopped by to visit with us. Then---guess what? Miss Arizona and Miss Teen Arizona stopped by and had their picture taken with me!!!! As soon as we get the photo, mommy said we can post it on my page...so stay tuned. There were lots of other doggies from other groups there also. It was such fun.

I had such a nice seat, and got to watch the balls flying through the air and rolling around the field. That looked like such fun. Mommy took me to the concession stand and ordered me a big bottle of water and it tasted good. I got to snack on some Beggin' Strips and Pupperoni also. Mmmm, that was so nice. Afterwards, there were fireworks, and I didn't get scared at all. Mommy said I did a great job. I can' wait for our next outing.

My new friends!

Woof! I have so many new friends. The Foundation has started a new class to train service dogs, and there are some really cute furry new faces around. This is great! We have 12 new puppies and they are going to learn to be a service dog like me. Of course they live with their student trainers, not with us. And the best part...I get to see my buddy Holly more often! She and I are mentors for the little ones. What a great time I am having.

Dancing bunnies and a Sungga Wubba!

Wow! What an exciting couple of days I have had. Yesterday mommy and I got to go with the third graders to the theatre to see a live play called The Velveteen Rabbit. What a great play. It was my first time at the theatre, and I want to go back again. We rode on a school bus to get there, and even though the bus made scary diesel noises, I was very brave and all the kids praised me. Then, once we were there, there were dancing and singing bunnies on stage and then the Nursery Magic Fairy made an appearance. It was really pawsome.

Today I had to go to the vet to get my annual snakebite vaccine. Afterwards mommy got me some Braunschweiger Lite because I was really good. Then we stopped at the PetSmart and I spotted this cool new Kong toy called a Snugga Wubba. Of course I fell in love with the pink extra large one. Well, I put my head against mommy and gave her my most sorrowful look. Someone who was passing by said "Oh, look at that face, isn't she sweet? She looks so sad..." Then mommy told them that I had a shot today, and that was my big chance. Well, I know how to work a crowd, and you should have seen me in action! I went over and sniffed the Sungga Wubba, then looked up at mommy with big sad eyes and pretended to be mortally wounded! It worked! She totally cracked and got me the toy.

So- off I go now to grab a snack and play with my new toy. I can't wait to see what is in store for me for tomorrow!
