I graduated from Puppy Class tonight

I graduated from Puppy Class tonight! I even got to show off to the whole class what I taught Mom - when I lift my paw, she gives me a treat. It only took me a couple of days to teach her this. I know how to sit, lie down, and wait at the door. Sometimes I forget things, but Mom and Dad and Joey are very patient with me.

I take my Dad for walks in the morning, usually as the sun is coming up. There are so many interesting smells and sounds, and sometimes I get to meet new critters! My most favorite thing to do on walks is pick up clumps of grass (or sticks, or poop - I found a Ho Ho still in its wrapper the other morning). I still don't like walking in the rain or snow. Brrrr.

I am getting my voice. I figured out how to yodel all on my own! Dad looks so shocked when I do this - its as if I sound like an alien or something. I will try to remember to do a couple of pretend barks just to keep him happy.

I am looking forward to the weekend - I get to go to grandma & grandpa's house again. I hope that fun dog is there. It would be ok if the grouchy ones showed up, too - I think they are kidding me when they growl.

Talk to you later!
