Hello, out there. Here I am -- over 50 pounds and not looking so puppy-ish anymore.
As a side effect to my fast growth, I've become very protective of my food. I'm a growing boy, I'm worried I won't get to eat. So following another Cesar trick, Rachel feeds me. I have to sit, wait. She runs her fingers through my food while I watch. Then she sets the bowl down, but I'm not to touch it until she walks away. I get it, it's fine. Don't growl at anyone while there's food in my bowl. So if I bring it to you, will you fill it? Yup!
Mom thought it would be fun to get my DNA tested. She's all worried that my dad wasn't really an Australian Sheppard. Now why would you think that? Could it be the rate at which I'm growing? She wonders if I'm part Bernese Mountain Dog. They bought the kit from the Internet. They swabbed my mouth. A week or so later, the results were in!
Play Time!
Mom bought me a hedgehog. Totally love trying to destroy it. It makes this squeak noise that drives me crazy! Must destroy... Nothing better than curling up with her and my hedgehog.
The weather is getting warmer, though. So glad. That means the kids are outside more often and I get to play with the boys next door! Here I come, Nemo ... after I nap after our last playtime.
Puppy School
Mom says I must go to puppy school. She took me to meet Val. She's a pretty cool lady. She has a bag on her hip filled with treats. If I could only get some...They put a thing on my nose to keep from pulling Mom along with the leash. They called it a gentle leader. I call it annoying - get it off.
So stepping out of the past to chat a minute and throw out a plug... Val's helped get my manners into shape. So I'd recommend her any day. So if you need help with your manners, go see her. I love going there to have fun with the other dogs and Mom. Dad comes sometimes, too. Val gets three out of four dog treats. Why only three? Because I can't be crazy anymore. The humans know how to make me behave. (If Mom has her way, Val would have four dog treats. But I'm writing the blog here!)
