Happy Birthday to me!

Today is my 3rd birthday!!!! I can't believe I am that old already-can you? I have yet to show my age though, I'm as feisty and sassy as I was way back when Mom met me at 6 months. And apparently a lot of people know it's my birthday because both Dunkin Donuts and Petsmart are having celebrations just for me ;) Unfortunately Mom isn't here to celebrate with me, but she was here this weekend and so we had an early party.

My birthday toy and doggie ice cream:


Mom being mean and making us all wait for our dessert:


Indiana's strategy is to just pretend it isn't there:


Josette uses her Jedi mind powers to will the ice cream to her:


And me, being the perfect princess that I am, just wait calmly for the OK:


"Break!"


Indiana and I chowing down:


Josette doing her best to keep up with the Labs:


And then some playtime with the new toy:


And a special birthday treat for me-some hose time! We had to stop when Fay got involved, she isn't allowed to chase the hose:

Don't forget your pill today!

Here are some pictures from Mom's last visit:

That's all for now. Agility tomorrow :)

Agility, Agility, and more Agility!

Just wanted to update you all on life. From the title you can see I am focused on one thing these days-agility! I meet Mom there every week and we spend an hour running different courses. I'm getting pretty good at everything, but sometimes my guide dog background comes back to bite me. I have a hard time working on the right side of Mom and sometimes have issues with going ahead of her in a course. All of these things are challenges I must overcome if I ever want to compete in agility. I still greet every course with my usual enthusiasm, though! Our teacher always laughs at my crazy body wiggles and funny antics. Finally, someone who appreciates me for me :) This class will end in a few weeks and then the next one begins right after that.

Other than agility, it's been the same old routine-walks, playtime, and marrow bones. Did I mention I love it here?!?! Josette and I are actually getting along these days. We play bitey face and tug all the time. She's also teaching me how to bark-Grandma LOVES that!

Anyway, I hear rumors Mom is coming for a visit this weekend so maybe you can all bug her for some new pictures of us girls???

Pill Day

Don't forget your pill today!

Oh Hoppy...

I was just wondering, since you are the new guy on the block and all, if you had a Valentine...See I think you are too cute (what can I say, I'm a sucker for a red head!) and I kind of dig the fact that you don't like dock diving as much as I don't like dock diving. Not to mention I'm super cute! So what do you say???

I turn my back for a minute...

...and a crazy shepherd takes over my blog! It's been a while since I was on here, but only one thing has been going on-agility! Mom and I completed our first class and our next one starts this weekend. I am definitely the star of our class. I am not afraid of anything and I listen *relatively* well. What can I say, when the A-Frame calls, I can't help but listen ;) Mom is hoping we can work on that more in our next session. Here are some pictures from my graduation class. We got a certificate and a squeaky toy-doesn't get much better than that!
