Pet Blessing

We had a Pet Blessing service at our church Sunday.

Our neighbors came to watch.

John held my leash so Joan could take the picture.

I'm the only dog that sang

(barked that is) when the people sang!

10 Months old Today

Jake and I are 10 months old today!

We have 2 sisters, too.

I thought I was going to daycamp

today but it rained so I think I'll go tomorrow.

Later Joan said I'll get peanut butter in my kong because I'm a good boy!

Ask not mat

This was my early 10Month Birthday gift.

Jake, this is the mat with a message that Joan ordered for my "door"!

It fits our family because Joan says,"it's all about the puppy"!

Graue Mill

We met Arlene at Graue Mill in Hinsdale,IL.

Joan took her classes here on fieldtrips

when she taught second grade.

We had a good walk while Arlene took pictures.

Rehabilitated

Harriet, Joan, and I went for a walk in the park.

We met lots of people and a few other dogs.

When I met Katie, the retriever, I took her rubber retriever toy right out of her mouth. She let me do it so...

when she took it back I got mad.

I growled, snapped, and bit at Maggie's nose.

Joan was shocked!

(I did this right in front of a Joliet Judge

who happened to be walking behind us.)

Joan gave the other dog a treat and made me greet Katie

without the toy in her mouth or mine.

Later on our walk as we passed the judge, Joan saw that I was walking politely.

Instead of saying hello, she just announced,"He's Rehabilitated!"

Starbucks

Joni couldn't go into the Starbucks while Joan was shopping.
Joni asked if she could order at the door because I wasn't allowed in.
They said no to her offer to order and give them her card. They did ask what I liked to drink. She said ice since it was in the high 80's (in October!!!).
When Joan came to find us sitting outside Starbucks at a table, she found Joni with a FREE coffee and me with a Free cup of ice!
Thanks, Starbucks!

Happy Fall

I'm having a "ball" this fall.

I started my second class.

I'm learning "heel" now.

I have to work with distractions.

It's easy in my yard but harder

in the parks.
