Hello Everyone!

Hey, Sam here! I hope you all had a grrreat Christmas and holiday season! And happy new year!! This month was so exciting with all these fun holidays! Where do I even begin?

Well, I’ll start at the beginning I guess. Early this month, me and my puppy friends from class, and our human mommies and daddies, of course, went to an elementary school to visit all the kids. It was so much fun! They sang us cute songs, gave us tons of yummy treats and presents, and they were even allowed to pet us! I got lots and lots of hugs and kisses from those guys. It made me happy to be so loved and to see all the kids with huge smiles on their faces! Woof!

My mommy and I have been working really hard this month on a new command called “light”. That’s where I have to push the light switch on the wall with my paw to turn the lights on and off. This command is kind of hard, and I haven’t completely gotten it yet, but I am getting better! When I perform this command, my mommy points to the light switch on the wall with her finger, says “light”, and I put my two front paws up on the wall and try to aim for the switch. Sometimes I don’t have very good aim, and my mommy will help me by moving my paw on top of the switch to show me where my paw is supposed to be. Every time I get right, she gives me lots of praise and pets, and makes me want to do it right again! I still need a lot more practice, but I’ll have it down pat soon!

And what would December be without Christmas?! My mommy and her family decorated our house so pretty with lights and a big tree and lots of other decorations. They went to the store a lot and came home with so much stuff, I couldn’t believe my eyes! And do you know what they did? They took all the stuff they bought and wrapped it up in pretty paper and stuck it under the tree! Can you believe that? I didn’t understand it until Christmas finally came. All of my mommy’s family came over and there was lots of delicious-smelling food, none of which I was allowed to taste, of course, and the humans passed around the paper-wrapped gifts to each other and tore them all open! That’s when I realized that they were wrapped up so that they would be a surprise, because every time somebody opened a present, they looked so happy and surprised! It was so much fun! I even got a present, too! My mommy unwrapped it for me because I don’t have thumbs, but that was ok with me because I got a brand new toy! Yay! I played with it all day and I carry it around with me everywhere at my house. I made sure to give my mommy lots of kisses to thank her for my new toy!

What an exciting month this was! I hope you all had a fun and safe break, and I’ll bark at ‘cha later!

Sloppy, wet kisses,
Sam
