17 Weeks

Okay, so I know it is a little early for Halloween but I have been already been wearing my costume and taking part in costume contests. My mom's friends at Fabulous Furballs brought in matching pirate costumes for Slice and I all the way from Chicago. I quite like mine. Makes me feel all tough and strong.

This week I am finally learning to go down stairs and I have slept in the bed with mom and Slice twice.

Good times

16 Weeks



Four months! You got it, I am growing up pretty fast. For your viewing pleasure there are some photos from my 16 week photo shoot. I know, I know, I have had more pictures taken of me than most people have of their children. It is a lot of fun and I always get free treats when I get on set. I must say I do photograph well and hear lots of oohs and aaahs when folks see my pictures.

I am not just a pretty face though, I have been working very hard on learning how to do the table and down. My training has been continuing on go and out with a wicket now added in for when I get to do running contacts. I can sequence tunnel and table and have been doing distance on tunnels.

Stay tuned for the 17 week update with my Halloween costume...

15 Weeks

On top of things now. Today is my 15 Week birthday! Woohoo! I went to see Dr. Kim today for my Rabies vaccine and another xray to make sure my leg is growing properly after the "injury". So far all clear so we can do a little more agility training. Nothing too outrageous but I probably get to play on the big tunnel now and learn how to do the table. Yippee!!!

I have discovered the toy box at home and think it is a fabulous place to play. That is me in the middle of the toy box. I know I am as big as some of the toys so it is hard to find me but that's me. Imagine my joy being surrounded by all my favorite toys with no competition from Slice. Okay that only lasted until Slice figured out I was in the toy box and kicked me out.













Other than that, life is pretty good. I have got the sleeping with Porter thing down pat. As you can see Slice takes the tail and I take the front legs.

14 Weeks

Okay, I know it has been a long time since I updated but I have been really busy growing! I apparently grown legs in my sleep. I am almost taller than Slice now! My mom said I am at my awkward stage where I have more legs than hair.









I spent the weekend at an agility trial with the family and had a sleepover at my new friend, Glide's house. I was a little shocked when we walked into the barn with all the smells and people but I quickly recovered and realized there would probably be lots of visiting and treats while I was there. I was very good and cheering for Porter and Slice when it was their turn to run. Apparently, cheering from your crate at the top of your lungs is not a good idea. Oops...

The new list of things I have learned this week...
1) Going up more than three stairs
2) Going down stairs carefully (thanks Glide)
3) Jumping onto the couch (no hiding place for Slice anymore)
4) Jumping off the couch is bad
5) "Go" and "out" in agility training is up to 8 feet
6) Surfing on the teeter is way more fun now
7) Don't swallow your chewie whole, it gets stuck in your throat and your mother screams.
