My new family

Just some stuff

Not a lot has been going on around here, as mom and dad get ready to wind down this year. Mom did finally get the training book she ordered and is so excited to start working with us! She's also been reading, "For the love of a dog" by Patricia B. McConnell and has really been enjoying that too. She said she is going to insist that dad read it also because she wants him to be just as informed about us as she hopes to some day be. There are a ton of other books that she wants to get, but a lot of them are going to have to wait till after the move. Anyways, today I was begging her to be let out, so she let me out and right away I dashed off to the back fence. At first she was worried that there might be some strange dog there, but it ended up being the remnants of some wrapping paper, that the strong winds had blown from out of someone's trash. I sniffed it and tried pushing it some with my nose and then when the wind caught it again and sent it trailing along the fence I had to run after it! Mom thought it was the cutest thing and wishes she'd have had a camera to capture the moment. Anyways, I think she's trying to tempt me away from here to brush my teeth, so I think I'm gonna go hide! Bones and treats to everyone and hope you have a great new year!!

Egg day suprise!

I really do love egg day!! My brother and I get 1 egg three times a week and oh dog...egg day is the best!! And if egg day wasn't enough...mom and dad took us out to our favorite field and we got to run around for an hour without our leashes!! Mom took some pictures of us running but a lot of mine are blurry because mom says I'm a little speed demon! I really do love to get to run and not have that leash confining me! Dad even took a toy out there for us to play with, but there were too many great smells to really be concerned with that! Mom and dad said they'll be trying to take us there more often...just will mostly depend on how the weather is. The only thing that I didn't like about it was that when we got home...I had to have a bath!! UGH!!! It was funny too though because since we don't have snow, my brother decided mud angels would be fun! Believe me...he's really good at making mud angels! Mom is even talking about once I get a bit better with socialization and such, maybe looking into trying to get me into flyball or something like that...who know! Anyways, I better go now...I think a nice long nap is in order!

A Christmas Eve Incident

So last night, mom and dad took us over to their friends' house to celebrate Christmas Eve with them. It was okay at first, but then(much to mom's dismay and even after mom had been talking about it) the lady started teasing me and getting me to bark and lunge at her. Mom was kinda in shock and didn't know what to say because she'd just been telling her that she thinks I might have a fear aggresion problem and here was her friend trying to scare me and laughing about it. Let me tell you...mom was so mad!! She was ready to leave right then, but dad(who'd just come back from grabbing something from our house) convinced her to stay. Thankfully, the lady left me alone after that, but I spent the rest of the night staring out the window and mom felt so badly for me. We were supposed to go over there for Christmas dinner today, but mom said she was still mad and refuses to go over where someone intentionally set out to make me upset and scare me(and it did). Mom says I already have enough problems with people as it is....that she doesn't want me to get worse because someone set out to intentionally tease me like that. Mom's decided that from now on my brother and I won't be going back over there and when she herself is there, it won't be for as long, because she'd rather be with us. Thankfully, we're moving in about a month so I won't ever have to get teased like that again!
