Weekend of Fun

I'm getting quite a few road trips under my belt! Mom, Dad and I went to Texas for Father's Day weekend. It was a very long ride down this time, as we made the trip in 1 day. When the road surface changes and makes noise, it makes me nervous, so I got sick in the car - again. Only 1 time though. I don't like construction zones:(

I was so glad to see everyone again! I'm getting more acquainted each time I come here. I played with Lyra more, and Sandy and I even had a great time playing with each other. She gave in to my youthful ways;)

Then I got to go to Granny & Paw-Paw's house. They love me, too! I got to meet Jerry and Barbara on this trip. I warmed right up to Jerry and gave him puppy kisses even as he was telling everybody I wasn't going to do that to him.

I was super excited to see Cindi & Al again. I got to see Al for a few minutes on Saturday night, but Sunday I got to spend some quality time with him.










I missed seeing Toby & Haley again and sure hope I get to see them on my next trip.

Everyone thinks I am a real sweet girl. That makes me so happy!

Play Day for Me:)

I got to go play today! I was so excited! I didn't particularly care for the ride there. It was in the new car and I had to get in that travel crate thing. When we got there, though, I was pulling Mom to the door! I just can't get to my friends fast enough! I'm such a social butterfly!

It was a very nice day today. Some might call it hot, but I call it perfect!

Mom was somewhat (maybe even very) dismayed when she picked me up and found out I had worked my way out of my collar. My friend there found it on the play yard. Hey! At least I didn't chew it this time!

Mom says she's determined I'm going to wear a collar, and I'm determined I'm going to go collarless.

I'm just chilling in my crate now, ready and waiting for human bedtime. Mom and Dad are gathering things again. Looks like another road trip is in my future;)

Getting over vacation

Ahhhh! I spent a few days at my favorite vacation spot while Mom & Dad went on a little trip. I have so much fun playing with my doggie friends! I might miss my own bed a little bit, but it's all good!

Mom came to pick me up this morning, and I was spinning in circles, I was so excited to see her! I jumped in the car and off we went! I even got to see Dad, since he went into work a little later today.

Finally, Mom took me for a walk. We worked on homework for our training class, then it was nap time.

Recall Works!

I didn't realize today was Mom's birthday. She didn't realize I snuck out the door with the garage open while Dad was getting ready to go to work. She tells me she was quite panicked when she realized I hadn't gone back upstairs to take my morning nap as usual.

Here's what she says: She ran down the stairs, grabbed her whistle/clicker and her cell phone. She called Dad and told him I wasn't at home. He turned around to come back home. Mom blew her whistle out back, then went to the front. Dad called her and told her which direction he had been walking me while she was gone last week. She looked up, saw a 'white' flash and knew where I was! By the time she blew her whistle, I was in plain sight down the street. Mom says she could tell I heard the whistle by the way I was jumping around, but my vision isn't great that far away. Mom waited for me to stop jumping around, then blew the whistle again and called my name. When I saw her kneel down, I knew I had to get to her! She says I ran like the wind. She got the 'jackpot' ready for me! woohoo!! She called Dad when she first saw me, so he didn't have to come back home after all.

Mom says the rest of her day was uneventful;)

Showing Off

Today was another work in the front yard day for Mom & Dad. That means I got to spend a lot of time outside again. I love being outside! Mom took my Kong toy out there, and gave me another chew stick.

Some of the neighbor kids came by to pet me. I'm such a lovable girl! One neighbor boy that was afraid of me when he first met me was thrilled when Dad told him I would 'sit' for him. Dad instructed him on the 'sit' command and hand signal and I was proud to 'sit' for him! He was thrilled. He called his parents over to see what he could do. Maybe he will change his mind about dogs.

Then the little girl that loves dogs came to see me. I have a hard time with 'sit' around her. I'm trying really hard, though. And she's working with her Dad on not walking up to me unless I'm sitting.

It was a great day to be me! I even got to greet some neighborhood dogs as they walked by.

Home Sweet Home

We got back home this afternoon! I sure like getting back home. I didn't get sick in the car today!

Mom and Dad had lots of yard work to do, so I got to spend a great deal of time outside with them! I love it! I even helped them dig a little! I also buried a bone. I buried it really good. They never did find it! hehe

Going again...

I got to stay at Sandy's all day today! Mom and Dad had some errands again, but I was able to stay with Lyra, Logan and their folks.

Tonight, I stayed with Sandy (in my crate) while the people went to eat again. This time it was for Mom's birthday! I've heard Lyra singing Happy Birthday Gramma all week! She's been adding other names, too. I think she knows a lot of people with birthdays this month!

I didn't get to see Toby & Haley on this trip. I hope next time I get to play with them. Maybe we'll become better friends when we see each other more often.

After awhile, everybody got back to the house. Then, Dad loaded the car again. This time Mom came home with us! We drove into Oklahoma City to spend the night. Ahh, sleep!

Travelin' Girl!

I'm becoming quite the traveler! Dad & I hit the road this morning, heading back to Sandy's house! Turns out there was a birthday party for Lyra, so Dad dropped me off at Sandy's and went to party with the people.

When the people got to the house, there was Mom! I was so glad to see her! She said she missed me, too! Of course, Lyra was glad to see me. She asked Grandpa if I was at her house. She loves me! As a matter of fact, she didn't want me to go back home with Grandpa last Saturday, but I had to help him drive.

It's fun being back here where I get so much attention. I do get a little confused on toys, though. Sometimes I pick up Lyra's instead of Sandy's. oops!
