Mommy wanted to show you how big I gotted! 
 

I guess I'm bigger, but look how Humpy has shrunk!!  

 

Dat furst piccie was from my Gotcha Day.  I was already two monfs old den.  I dint know much.  Now I know lots!  I know Sit and Wait and Down and Off and Walk and Heal, and I know some of my toys by name and can go get dem when mommy and daddy say.  I can catch a ball or a stuffie in mid-air and I'm learning how to catch a frisbee.  Dose are harder, dey fly funny!

I'm a Big Boy now!!

Fall Fun Times!

 I just spent five sleeps at Pet Camp, while mommy and daddy went somewhere dey called DeeCee.  I lub Pet Camp!  I hab a furiend dere, looky--

I call him Doodle!

We play hard!!

Daddy was in DeeCee fur bizness, but mommy went along to see fings.  She neber been befure.

She saw dis...

And dis...

And when she went here,

...she made a new furiend!!

Dat's her leggie!  He must have thought she had treats, but she dint!

Now we all back home.  Mommy's catching up on laundry and daddy's catching up on werk  and I'm catching up on naps!  

Fall Fursts

Mommy says dis de monf when we do Howloween.  I don't know whut dat means, but it has to do wif dressing funny and eating punkin stuff even if your tummy isn't upset.   Four or five sleeps ago we went up to where de wine doggies lib.  Dis a picfur of me wif punkin:

I dint meet any other doggies, but I ate a lot ob grass! 

Now dere is somefing furry wrong at our house!  Starting last night, and den again dis morning, when I go outside dere is water all ovfur.  I don't just mean on de grass.  Sometimes our grass is wet because of what mommy calls sprinklers.  But dis water wasn't just under me feets.  It was on top ob me, too!  Getted in me face!  And de longer I was out, de more water got on me!  And daddy kept saying "Go potty! Go potty!" when he usually lets me take me time.  So ob course I couldn't go.  And I dint like it AT ALL.  Den dis morning when mommy took me out it was de same fing.  (She let me pee, at least.)  So I come in all ear-drippy and leg-soaky and mommy and daddy tear into me wif towels and rub and rub.  Well, okay, I kind ob like dat.  But, whut be de heck??!! 

Mommy say'd, "That's called 'rain.'"  I nevfur saw anyfing like dat in me WHOLE LIFE!!

Big Week!

 Dis was a big week fur me and my fambly!  Furst, my daddy had a birfday.  He dint go to werk.  Instead, we all went on an adventure!  We took a ferry--dat's a kind of car dat goes on water--out across de Bay.  Dis me waiting to get on it--

 And dis me sailing!  I started out under de bench where mommy and daddy were sitting, but den I got braver.

We got off at a town where mommy and daddy had deir din-din, an den we sailed home.

Den a few sleeps later, yesfurday, we went back to de doggy playground wif my Frisbee.  But dere was somefing even more fun to do!  

                            Her name Moana, and she a Corgi, and she liked to play!!

Whut Frisbee?  BOL!!

Frisbee Day

 Dis an espearmint.  Mommy took dese movies ob me.  Can you see dem?:

                                  Dis one is me taking a roll in de grass.  I lub dat!!!

De ofur two are me wif a new toy, daddy call a Frizbee.  He wanted to play Fetch wif it, but if he frew it, like he frows my ball, it dint go de right speed.  It slow.  I'm fast!  I had more fun just running around wif it in my mouf!  Daddy says we hab to keep trying. 

Old News, New Photos

 Five sleeps ago--dat's a long time!  But dat's when I finished my second course in Puppy Skool!  

Dis me wif daddy and mommy and my You Did It paper!

                                        Dis me and daddy wif Grace de teacher!

Dis me in my Smartypants hat, and daddy's feets!

I had two classmates, Craig and Kona.  We learned to Stay and Wait and Walk and Heel and Go to Bed.  We did all dat even wif doors opening and closing and fings going BANG! and balls bouncing around and evfurryfing.  Here's de secret:  In skool you get lots of treats fur doing stuff like dat.  At home you might get a treat or two, but sometimes mommy expects you to do somefing just because she says.  Pfooey!

De next day I got to go to Pet Camp!  I stayed dere fur four sleeps.  I played wif lots of doggies AND I learned how to bark more!  I showed off fur daddy today on our Evening Stroll.  Daddy dint like it, and den he told mommy on me.  She told me today was a day off, and tomorrow we'll get Back to Bizness.  I'm not sure I like de sound of dat...
