At the Fire Hall

Today, I went for a fantastic romp in the off leash park, something we haven't done during the day for a long time. I often go in evenings with Dad now. We played search and rescue and I "found" my girl hiding in the bushes a bunch of times, that was fun! Then we went off to a really noisy place. They said it was Fire Hall 17 in Castle Downs. I met some of my fellow puppies in training and the fireman introduced us to all the interesting noises in the fire hall. The man wore a funny suit, smelled like smoke, and talked really funny when wearing his breather, but I couldn't resist licking his masked face when he came to greet me. We also got to walk up and down the long grates in the floor too. I don't mind that sort of thing, but it doesn't feel great on the paws.



When I got home I was so tired. I know this is not my blanket, but a corner was dragging on the floor off the sofa, and it just fell on me, really! Well, I had to wiggle quite a bit to get it to fall just right, but it did, honest! It's really not my fault!

Socks

After Clipper and I did demonstrations at a school, I decided to try one of the tricks he did.

Agility

I've been so busy playing in the yard and attending puppy classes that I haven't had much chance to post. My girl and her mom take so many pictures of me, I can hardly keep up, and typing is pretty hard on the paws.

Here we are playing great games in the yard. It's my second favorite game, after fetching balls, and I often jump over the obstacles even when I'm not told to. Since this video they've moved the weave poles closer and closer and now they're in a straight line.





Here's a pic of me and my brothers and sisters after a hard puppy class. We always finish with Puppy Yoga, which is my favorite part. It just feels so good!




























Sometimes I just get tired.

Pull

OOPS, I uploaded the wrong video (after Dash lost interest). Here's the new first time video!

Today my girl taught me a new trick after I brought her a sock this morning. She put the sock on the end of her foot, told me to 'take it' and then 'pull'. She eventually tied a piece of scrap sock with a hole to the drawer and then told me to 'take it' and then 'pull'. I did really well for it being my first time.

Presentations

Today I'm going on a field trip. I'll be at a senior's home in Morinville. Yesterday I had an all-day field trip! I went to Bon Accord Community School. My girl didn't take any pictures, but I got to speak to and show off all the stuff I've been learning to 10 classes for 25 min each. It took all day and I was pretty tired, but it was fun. I know they understood my tail wagging message pretty clearly, as they all petted me everywhere. Some of the preschool class even put their fingers in my ears and mouth, but I didn't mind. Most kids had never seen a service dog before, but some had uncles or parents that are or have used one.

Trash Dog

I'm not wearing my cone anymore, and my stitches will be out shortly. Maybe subconsciously I miss it. Or maybe I just can't resist getting into trouble. You'll never guess what trouble I got in today. I confess, the tissues in the garbage were too tempting.

Rock Fishing

Today my girl and her mom glued together the rock inukshuk they have had at their front door since they moved in. First they washed the rocks (they have gotten really dirty over the winter) and I helped out. I went rock fishing in the bucket of water they were using.
