Week 5 ends

Yes, I have been attending puppy class with mom and dad for 5 weeks now.  I have learned a lot.  But last night I realized I still have a lot more to learn.

Mommy just took this picture of me sitting on the futon in her work room.  I just love how my right ear looks!

I am getting really close to my “Star Puppy” award.  Next week, I should get that.  But Mom wants me to pass my “Canine Good Citizen” test.

To do that, I have to be able to walk on a loose leash with just my collar on.  I can’t use my head collar and mom can’t feed me.  This is going to take some work.

Thank heaven for cheese!  I like to stay beside mom when there is cheese involved.  Mom plans to teach me using the cheese till I master it.  She keeps telling me “we’ll get it…together!”.  And I believe her.

There was a new dog at class last night.  Her name was Lou!  She is older than me, but I think she had more energy than I do. 

As part of the class, Daddy had to go and greet her.  She let him say hi, then she laid on the floor with her feet in the air to get a belly rub.  She made everyone laugh.  Mom says she is a Black Lab.

And my friend Willie was there too.  He is a bit afraid of people, but he is doing much better walking past people.  His mommy is really nice.  She gave me some water and some chicken.

I really like puppy class.  I like the treats and the skills and spending time with mom and dad and our trainer.  Can’t wait till Tuesday to go again.

Gotta go practice now!

Puppy Kisses!
