I'm almost two

Well here I am, almost two. My birthday is December 28th. I sure hope I have another Birthday Party. Last year my pawents and human grandchildren celebrated my Birthday. We had party hats , cake and they sang HB to me. I want to do it again.

I've been a good doodle, going to all the nursing and rehab facilities with dad. We really have a good time. Sometimes, I get to sit on people's beds, sometimes, I have to jump onto a chair so the people can pet me.

Dad and I gave out Christmas Sox's to some of the people, and you know - one lady actually put them under her little Christmas Tree in her room.

There is just so much going on at our house right now, I hear we're putting a tree up this Saturday, I think I remember doing it last year, but I was a baby back then.

China showed me how to help myself to the doggie bisquits in the Doggie Cookie Jar. But the jar has to be full in order for me to grab them. China is really good at it. Her brother Buddy showed her how to do it. He is a real pro.

Well I guess I had better get ready and give Santa Paws my Christmas List. I've been a good doodle all year, so no coal for me in my stocking!

Merry Christmas Doodles

All in a Day's Work

Well since I have become a Therapy Dog, I go to work with dad everyday after lunch..I must admit, if he doesn't take me, I am a naughty Doodle and get one of my momma's magazines and shred it. I love to make paper snow..Momma doesn't like cleaning it up..but I see her laughing, when she thinks I'm not looking.

We have added more facilities to visit - we are so busy. But dad loves giving back. Me, I love all the attention. At one facility, the director gives me cookies every time we visit.

I hear we're going to give presents out during the Christmas Season. I can't wait. Dad's grandchildren will be dressed as Elves and are going to help us. Maybe they can sing some carols.

I have become a Pet Therapy Doodle

It all started when my human grandma went to a rehab center. Momma called the facility to find out if I could go visit grandma. When we got there, dad found out he and I could visit all the other patients. So everyday we went to visit grandma, we visited the entire ward. I sure get tired after an hr or so. Most everyone is happy to see me. One lady always yells out R-O-S-I-E. She is so loud. It almost hurts my ears, but then I see her smile and my ears don't hurt.

Dad decided to call another rehab center in our aread and they too were looking for therapy doggies. We went for an interview and now we go there too. It is so cool, the days I go to that rehab center, dad takes me back to work with him after lunch. I have to be really good at work..then we're off to visit all those people.

We just got another call from our local hospital and we have (me & dad) an interview this week - if I do ok..we can visit the children's ward. I am so excited. So is dad.

Momma doesn't come - cause when she is around all I don't listen to dad, I just want to be by momma.

Momma is so proud of me and Dad - all the smiles we are putting on those sad faces..

Growing Up - Almost 1

I've been at my furever home now 10 months. I love my momma and dad and sister China. This summer I went to the off leash park with dad almost everyday. Momma likes to go to the on leash park - so we go there with her. I go on a walk almost everyday with dad and China. Momma and dad's grandkids come over all the time. I have so much fun with them..especially Madison..she is my best friend..she gives me all her cookies. She goes into my cookie jar all the time and just takes handfuls and give them to me and China.
Momma tells me all the time that I'm a big girl and that I was only supposed to be 45 lbs..but I was 45 lbs when I was six months old..I'm 80 lbs..My birthday is almost here. I can't wait for my party and more presents. First Santa comes, then my birthday.

Being in my furever home for 6 weeks now

I've been in my furever home for a little over 6 weeks now. I am one lucky doodle. I haven't had any accidents in the house for almost a week now..Momma and Dad are so proud of me..I'm getting tall enough that when I stand on my hind legs I can reach the table top..I tried to steal dad's eggroll last week..he was not happy with me. I also can almost see the top of the countertops..Maybe a few more weeks. Momma & dad's human grandkids come over all the time, I get to play with them as long as I don't bite and jump..so ok, I'm learning not to do that..they tell on me all the time. Puppy can't have any fun. I did have fun on Easter with the Egg Hunt..I found one plastic egg..I love jelly beans, they are so yummy..

All about my new home

I am really lovin it. After the first week of making pottie on the paper, momma & dad started taking me outside in the yard..what a neat place that is. I was too little to get off the deck, so they had to carry me off. I watched my big sister China go off the deck and I jumped a few times. Now I have the hang of it. I mostly do my pottie outside, but sometimes I forget and make near the door. I love my "house" and sleep in it every night and during the day when momma & dad are at work..but I have the run of the house when they are home..China is finally starting to play with me. I think she thinks I'm a big pain in the butt..I keep chewing her ears and tail. I also jump on and off of her.

I got to taste Corned Beef on St. Paddy's Day.. I thought that was yummy

I keep hearing about Easter..and the egg hunt for the grandkids..can't wait for that, bet I will find a few eggs.

My first weekend in my furever home

Mom & Dad came for me at lunch time, it was so cold out. Mom wrapped me in a big warm pink towel. I was scared..it was my first car ride, but mom held me tight and gave me lots of hugs and kisses. When I got home, I found a crate full of new toys and a big fluffy pillow. My big sister China was waiting for me..did she give me the once over. Mom & Dad took turns holding me all day..they didn't give me a chance to explore. They finally put me down and I got to explore the kitchen - that's where they keep my "house". I cried a little that night, but I was exhausted from my big day and fell asleep.

On my second day in my furever home, my pawrents grandchildren came. We had so much fun. All they did was run around the whole house after me..I got tired and went to sleep in my "house"..they didn't want me to..but a girl needs her nap. I was so happy cause Christian wanted to sleep over. We got to play one on one once the other kids left. He's only 4..we really bonded. I cried more that night cause I knew Christian was sleeping in their bed and I wanted to be with everyone..and guess what mom did..yup, she put me in bed with her and dad. Am I one lucky doodle or what..and that's my first weekend in my furever home...Baby Rosie
