I did it, I did it. CANINE GOOD CITIZEN

My pop kept taking me to this place with some other dog pals and we all would walk in circles, pop called it heeling, when that was done I would get some treats and pop would tell me good boy for just walking in circles. Then I would sit , get a treat, lay done, get a treat. Pop would say this stay thing so I just sit there with all my dog pals. pop got upset when I went to sniff butts and I didn't get a treat. So I just did what I was supposed to do, made pop happy and the treats rolled in.
Then the other night pop took me to this place and there were uprights that I never seen before, I sure was nervous and so was pop
so once again we did the heeling thing, then the stay thing, uprights were walking all over the place making noise, I sure was nervous bout that I almost peed. Then I had to sit stay again and pop said come, not sure of what to do I very very slowly started walking towards pop, when I reached him he seemed very excited and kept saying good boy Skipper, good boy. When we left that area uprights were petting me and telling me and pop that I was a CANINE GOOD CITIZEN. not sure what that means but sure made pop happy.
When we got back home pop grilled me a very rare steak, wow
I slept good that night

Petsmart

May 26, 2007
Pop took me for another ride in the car today. Seems like we just got going and then we stopped in this big area with other cars and got out. I knew in a moment that this was something good. People and other dogs were going into this big barn looking place, I could smell the food and treats before we even got in the door.
Woof!! what a place, nothing but toys, treats, food and a lot of other dogs. I was so excited I couldn't get traction, my feet was slipping on the floor even though I was going as fast as I could. Treats wait for no one.
I pulled a couple cool toys off the bottom shelves and pop took the away from me and carried them for me.
I marked a couple isles with my scent, I figured in a couple hours this place would be all mine but pop cleaned it up, drats foiled again.
Pop signed me up for Puppy School,said I would have a great time and make some friends.
That night visions of Petsmart danced through my head as I snuggled up with my newer toys.

going to work

May 22, 2007
The past couple of days, Pop, dad, has been taking me outside seems like every couple hours and lets me do what comes natural. Pop gets all excited when I take a simple poop and pets me, treats me, go figure.
We got in the car today, pop said we were going to his workplace, no idea what that meant. Well anyhow when we got to pop's workplace there was all these humans, pop said about 600 of them, wow who knew.
Ill betcha at least half of them came up to me and was petting me, rubbing my tummy, stroking my ears telling me what a cute puppy I was. It was awesome to make so many friends at one time and hey they all knew my name. bout wore me out trying to keep up. When I got back home I slept like a puppy.

My new home

May 19, 2007 Cont.
After another hour in my dad's car, we finally arrived at my new home. Dad took me around to the back yard to let me do my business. What a great back yard, rows of trees plenty of grass and lots of squirrels that I started chasing and barking at right away.
Dad then took me in the house and let me look around, of course I was on a leash and everything was 'no not that Skipper'. Then dad put me in my new exercise pen and had a crate attached. Wow, new bed in crate, lots of balls, stuffed toys, most of them squeaky, chew toys, water jug, food bowls and treats and this was all mine. The whole time I was playing dad was talking to me, finally I dozed off thinking what a lucky puppy I am.

The first meeting with my adopted dad

May 19, 2007 I knew something was different when I got up this morning, and everyone was calling me Skipper. I was givin my first bath as I had rolled on some poo that my brother and sisters left right where I like to roll and play Ugh. Two young humans that I liked to play with put me in a tub and scrubbed me clean, brushed me dry. They were talking bout my new adopted dad was coming to take me to a new home. I was taken to a viewing area, where there were other puppys for me to play with. Next thing I knew a strange human had picked me up gently and walked over to a chair, sat down put me on his lap then held me up to his face and said hi Skipper, I nuzzled my new dad on the neck and wanted to stay there.
Don't know who's idea, but I was put in a box, but when dad took me to the car he took me out of the box and harnessed me to the front seat where I could see somewhat, I got carsick and threw up, dad pulled into a park let me get some air. Back in the car I rode on dads lap with him petting me till we got to my new home
