Family

May27

I have even more family than I thought! My Gramma and Uncle Eric came to visit. They live far away so we don’t get to see them very often. They came just to meet me!

We loved each other right away. They brought me cookies and I gave them kisses and cuddles and jumped all over them to let them know how happy I was to meet them. They loved me.

After a couple hours of running and jumping we all sat down together and cuddled on the couch. Gramma is a great petter. Uncle Eric played with me and threw my toys for me. He was my new best friend.

BONFIRE!

We had a bonfire! A bonfire is when you have a big fire (Mom says it has to be a safe fire then it is a good fire) and food. I think you have bonfires when family comes to visit. There were hot dogs, potato salad, treats for me and something mom called s’mores. She said I could not have any of that. It was so exciting and amazing! Outside at night, a big fire, food and family.

We had such a good time. I hated to see them go so soon. I don’t know where they go but I wish they could stay. I love having a bigger family. More family means more play, more cuddles and more food.

I Care About Eye Care

May12

Last month mom and dad took me to see this really nice doctor, Dr. Brown. He is an Ophthalmologists, he takes care of eyes. He works at the Animal Eye Clinic of North Florida. Mom really likes him and she is picky.

I had to go because my white fur and pink skin around my eyes could be a problem for me out in the sun. I like being outside so I was worried I would not be able to play in the sun. Mom said Dr. Brown will tell us what we need to do so I can play in the sun.

We had to wait in the waiting room. They had a newspaper out so I could go through it. That was very nice.

Mom is right. Dr. Brown is real nice.

He looked at my eyes, he pet me and played with me a little. He said I was beautiful. He was real nice!

He said I should be ok outside in the sun. It would help if I wore a visor or glasses to protect my eyes and my skin. He said it isn’t real urgent but it would help.

Mom said he’d like to see me all grown up just to see how handsome I will be.

I’d like to see him again. I love making new friends.

Well, mom got me a hat and glasses. She only puts them on me for a little bit at at time. I either shake them off or pull them with my paws. They are too big on me. Mom tried to fix the glasses, which helped. She is hoping I grow into them.

and they’re only getting better.

I’m doing alright,

getting good grades.

The future’s so bright…

A Little Art and a Wash

May5

I went to the Thomasville Rose Show and Festival last Saturday.

It was hot but I had a great time. I met a lot of new people and dogs. I love making new friends. Mom looked at the art and I greeted everyone!

Mom spent today washing our van. I helped, of course. It was really dirty. It took a long time but since I helped it took a little longer, which is good. We got to stay out longer.

I didn’t get very much on the van but I was able to drag the wash cloth around the dirt. Mom seemed so so focused on this rag and the van so I thought I would give it a try.

I didn’t get much of a chance since mom kept taking it back.

A Puppy’s Work is Never Done

Apr28

When mom isn’t running around the house or yard working, or making my food, she is in the office clearing her desk or working on the computer. That is when I get to help.

First, I keep pushing my toys on her lap or in her hands but hanging on when she tries to grab it. I don’t let go. When she quits I shove it in her hand again. This keeps her flexible and always paying attention to me.

When I get bored of that I help with the paper work. She has papers in a waste basket I see her use sometimes. She says it is recycle. She also has papers on her desk and some by her chair. I go through all these papers for her.

She says it is a big help especially the papers she has to go through on her desk and by her chair, because when I am done with them she can’t go through them anymore so it is less work for her.

I’m a Good Boy!

Earth Day

Apr22

I did my part for Earth Day. I stood, or rather sat, in solidarity with the March for Science. I want to remind everyone to stand up for our planet every day, not just today. Being a rescue I don’t see why anyone would not fight to keep their home.

I have started my own campaign. I think animals should have a say since people are not doing such a great job saving our natural world and our planet. I have started the

Baby’s First Easter

Apr16

I celebrated my first Easter. I was amazed at the wonderful rituals, running around the yard looking for food, baskets with new toys and more food. It was an exciting day.

Of course we couldn’t have Easter without King Arthur first unpacking the decorations. Arthur helps unpack and pack ALL holiday decorations.

On Easter Day I first helped Dad find his eggs. They were not real exciting since I couldn’t eat them. I tried but mom said I shouldn’t eat plastic. I liked hanging out in the yard though on such a pretty morning.

IMG_2031 sml

Then it was time for my “egg” hunt. I had what mom calls a “Dog Bone Hunt”. This was my first time but I caught on quick. Mom yelled “Dog Bone Hunt” and I shot out the front door and scrambled around the front yard sniffing out treats. Now those eggs I could eat!

IMG_2097 sml

It was so exciting I did not want it to end. Where did those treats come from? They were not there before. Why aren’t they there every day?

Then mom came out with a basket and a new toy. I did not waste time ripping the basket open. There were treats in there…and another toy! What an amazing day!
