Playtime with Toby & Haley

I love Elmo! I think I need one of these at home! Lyra loved that I was laying on her little couch! She's really good to me.

Mom and me spent the night at Toby & Haley's tonight. It was a rocky start, humans, but we made it and we're getting along just fine!

Sunday Family Fun

After getting to see Sandy and my little friend Lyra yesterday, I got to meet Toby and Haley for the first time today. It took a little while, but we're all getting along nicely. Just wish those humans would've shared some of those tasty burgers with us!

Here we go again!

I knew something was up when Mom & Dad got the suitcases out. Then last night, I came downstairs to find my bed in the area with the suitcases. I thought I better lay there, just in case. I just took a nap, though.

This morning, Mom took a picture of me laying on my bed with all the trip 'stuff' surrounding me. I'm all comfy now in the rental car, and we're about ready to hit the road. Mom will post pictures tonight:)

It's My Birthday!!

I'm 1 year old today! Watch for pictures to be posted later. I hear there's going to be a p-a-r-t-y!! I've got to get my nails done first;p

Nails are done! That was easy. I got lots of treats for cooperating, then doing my tricks! I also got to see Herbert again, and meet Dr Doug's new pup, Alvin. How can they just sit there when there's so much to look at around here?

Mom & I went back to Shawnee Mission Park and walked a long walk again. I had more fun today. I got to see some ducks, geese and even a couple deer! We walked right up on the deer. I don't know who was more startled, me, the deer or Mom! I was really wanting to get closer to the deer but Mom wouldn't let me. Mom took the new treat pouch, lanyard and clicker/whistle that she got today. She ordered them from muttzrus.com They're here in Shawnee and just happens to be my trainer. Mom really needed that whistle. Maybe we will get to go to the dog park soon!

Party tonight! Mom & Dad made me wear this silly hat. I humored them - just so I could enjoy my special birthday cookie! After I finished my cookie, there was a present for me to open! I like this birthday stuff! Oh, Mom made cupcakes for the people to eat;)

Opening my present!

Just what I wanted!

I LOVE my new toy:)

Monday, Monday

Today, Mom loaded me in the crate to run some errands. We got to go to my favorite store! I need to practice my 'proper greet', but I'll get there. Mom bought some treats so I will be stocked up for awhile. Is there something coming up that I don't know about? hmmm After the trip to my favorite store, we came home for a few minutes. Then Mom wanted me to get back in the car. I thought we were going to be home for awhile. I was in for a nice surprise! We went to Shawnee Mission Park where we walked and walked and walked. It was a nice paved trail and I got to chase some grasshoppers:) Mom was pointing out some pretty flowers along the way, beautiful yellow flowers and some pink lantana-looking flowers. Mom took a picture with her phone, but the pictures didn't turn out good. Maybe we'll go back! When we got home, I crashed for a couple hours. Could've slept longer if the neighbor dog hadn't barked and woke me up. Oh well. I got a nice nap in while Mom & Dad went for a bike ride.

Beginning Training Finale

Mom & Dad got up early and went to breakfast. After they got home, we just chilled for awhile. Then they started having me practice all my tricks and commands. When we got to PetSmart for my class, I was not being very cooperative. The trainer had the 'course' set up, so we went through that. The last thing to do was a 'proper greet' for the trainer. It's hard to do that because I know he has a pouch full of treats! I made it, though. Now it is test time. Dad helped me through all the 'commands', and we aced most everything. I had a little trouble with my concentration. Kept thinking about that pouch of treats! I made it though, and there was a great photo opp!



Later on in the afternoon, Mom and Dad took me to Shawnee Mission Park where we hiked to get some caches. It's been a big day for me!
