Must catch squirrel

So the dad and his friend were down at the pool in our complex with Baily and me. Since the pool area is fenced in, dad let us off leash to play. All was going well and then I locked on a squirrel across the pool. I took off running and at the last minute realized there was a pool in my way and took a leap. I actually almost made it across the entire pool (I went about 10 feet) until I crashed into the water and swam the remaining couple feet before getting out. Dad wasn't too happy cause he locked me up afterwords. I never did get back to chase the squirrel.

We moved!

To this nice warm place call California. There aren't any dog parks near us so mom now takes us for lots of walks and we get to play chuck it in the parking area everyday! Mom hasn't had to clip our nails once since we got here. She says it is because of all the running we do on cement. Who knew that such fun could lead to no longer having to do my most hated thing! The only bad part is that we have to stay home alone all day since dad isn't here but mom says she is very proud of us because we have gotten over our separation issues and no longer have to be crated during the day. Instead we just wrestle and sleep in the sun :)

Finally!!!

Mom just bought us coats and booties this weekend. Geez we live in Alaska and it took her this whole winter (last year we weren't living with them) to finally buy them!!!
I love my coat but I am not sure about those things that go on my feet. I already managed to loose one of mine.

Santa Paws!!!

Mom said Santa Paws came last night but we aren't able to open our gifts until Christmas. How mean! I keep trying to reach my stocking (it smells so good) but I am not quite tall enough and when I leap for it I get all dirty cause I hit the fireplace :(
I'm also not allowed to unwrap the things under the tree! Man mom and dad are being meanyheads :(

Gentle Leader

My mom got me this thing called a gentle leader. I hate it! How am I supposed to pull her around and get her to go where I want to go with this thing on my head! I try pawing it off but my mom won't let me. The only good thing is that she gives me treats when I sit calmly. Ugh I hope she stops using it soon.

Happy Birthday to me!

I turned one today! Well at least mom and dad think today is my birthday. The person who turned me into the pound said I was 7 months and the pound said I was 8 so my parents made it 8 months from the date they adopted me. I am just fine with that!
I am so happy to have been in my new home for the past four months. My parents have really helped me. Mom takes me every week to these "training classes" which I find annoying especially since she made me take beginner twice. I graduated last night though and I get to move up to advanced beginner!
I have also learned that my crate is an ok place to be sometimes. My former "owner" used to leave me in a crate all day and night and not really take me out much. Now I only have to go in there when mom and dad are away on an hour or two a day and Baily is in the crate next to me so that makes it much better. Mom was super happy when I slept in my crate all by myself last week even though she doesn't make me anymore. What can I say, I kinda missed it so I just went in, curled up on my blankets and slept there all night long.
Well it's time to have some birthday fun!!!
