how the cookie crumbles

busy, busy, busy!

Wow! the class Mom's teaching this session has 12 pups in it! Talk about a tight fit in the room! There's discussion of finding another place to hold classes- guess we'll have to wait & see. Half-way through the session, and I've only been to two classes- hurt my paw (vet said I had to rest), and was in heat... not allowed to play with puppies when I smell so good- I guess!
anyhow, mom's mumbling about "election day" november 3rd- something about "spay"? not sure what that is... Oh, well- not gonna worry about it.
(Yawn) well, gotta get outside before my nap- howl at ya later!

ok, failure happens....

Mom & I went to see the people at Pet Degree training center for the Therapy Dogs International test- and I wasn't feeling up to the task. It seems that I'm soon to be in heat again( whatever that means), so I felt skittish, and shied away from the tester. Mama says she loves me anyway, so it's all good. I think we need to get a therapy dog to come for RDO day, but I'll be there, too!

Dog daze of summer

{YAWN}
ever had one of those days...?
Mom and Kevin went to a place called "daycamp", and were gone almost all day! When they got home, they smelled REALLY interesting, like ALOT of different kids- so I guess that wasn't so bad... I got alot of quality naptime.
Mom is very satisfied lately... We are about to finish up the third session of "Puppy Manners" classes, and I've had a great time every tuesday night playing with the babies and their people.
This means that Mom & I have helped 22 families get off on the right paw- so to speak!
Mom really likes helping new families get to understand their pups, and I get to play!!
On Saturday, August 15th, I'll be going for another test- this one is to become a registered therapy dog with Therapy Dogs International!!
I've already passed the Canine Good Citizen test, and the temperment test given by the German Shepard working dogs club, so I should do fine.
This means I can help Mom out with teaching kids how to meet a dog safely at Responsible Dog Owner Day in Shelton at the Riverwalk on September12th, 2009.
I'mm looking forward to alot of fun!
