therapy dogs

Mom was teaching us lots of stuff today she says she wants us to be therapy dogs. I tilted my head at her. So she explained we're already her therapy dogs, but she wants us to help other people too, and it will make us feel good as well. She said we can learn lots of things. We can learn how to turn lights on and off, pick up things for humans, and give nose nudges when a human needs it. But most of all, we already know how to be great therapy dogs and all we have to do is enjoy getting pet! Mom says we're very special. Aw Mom....

So today we had training sessions in the morning instead of our morning walk because it was cloudy outside and lightly raining. Mom worked on our "touch" cue. We're good at this, but confused when Mom tries to move it to the next level. She wants us to touch with force and calls it "push". We don't understand this. Mom had stopped trying for a bit, but now is working on it again. She says we will get it soon then get our jackpot reward. Later in the afternoon we went on a nice run in the woods. Then tonight we went to the fields to run around too.

Mom was playing with me on the bed and her glasses fell off. I was rolling around playing and accidentally broke Mom's glasses. Tomorrow she's taking us with her to the eye glass place to get them fixed. I love rolling around with Mom. She says she'll take her glasses off next time.

Mom has been doing this thing called "studying" alot...she is taking physics. It's nice being a dog and not caring about anything but my family, playing, food, playing, walks, playing, sniffing, playing, potty, and ..playing:)
