Quiet Night

 Today was the last day Penny and I could play together for a little while. Her humans came to bring her home. No more sleepovers, but wow did we have FUN!!! Playing in the woods, wrestling on the porch, chasing the big dogs around, watching broken ice cubes fall from over our heads... I wonder how my human got all that ice from inside the big silver box to outside...

These two were from today. She didn't take too many photos because she had to go somewhere and our other human watched us. He doesnt take photos of us much. He would rather play.

 

But OH did we have FUN last night!!! hehehehehe we sat with our human in HIS chair and watched TV, sort of. We play mouthed for a little, then I got down and sat with my other human, and then wanted to sit with Penny again on her blanket with my other human.

        

Then my other human thought it would be nice to give us each our own seperate bone to chew on to keep us from messing with eathother. Yah... No... That didn't work...

Mine! No, Mine! Give it up! No, It's MINE! She gave it to ME!

So I think my human thought to quiet the squabbeling and gave Penny a bone that I just got. I said it was OK to share it with her...Hehehe... Our other human has a sense of humor... Penny... Not so much...



We love you Penny.... Sorry for making you look silly.



In the end I let her have my bone and we finished watching TV... I miss you already Penny... who else am I going to play with now.... The big dogs are boring and my humans don't play like we do... I hope to see you again soon!

SLEEPOVER!!!!!

GUESS WHAT!!!

A couple of days ago, Benji's parents came by to visit and when they left they forgot to take Benji with them. ...wait... I should call her Penny. That's her name now... PENNY is here for a few days my human said. YAY!! SLEEPOVER!!!!

We have been having a BLAST! It's like we were really little all over again.

We played in the woods....

 



 

Then the next day we played in the house and on the deck because it was raining outside but still warm and my human didn't want us to catch cold for being wet... Umm... Human... I have FUR... I don't get cold as quick as you do... But I love you anyway!

 

Then today we went to the dog park (woo hoo!) and got to play with Max, the West Highland White Terrier (he was fun), Bunny, the Miniture Pinture, (he was a boy and his owner a little odd. We didnt play with him) Baby Girl, the dachound mix and Emma, the parti-colored Cocker Spaniel (that means 2 colors where one is white.... I learned that from the dog show. hehehe) Oh yah... that REALLY BIG white dog... in the middle photo on the bottom??? That's Avalanche. He is a Great Pyranese and a little grouchy. He said that he was our size when he was 8 weeks old!!! Now that he's all grown, he says his hips hurt a lot these days... he's really old... like 8 or something. (I'm not even 1) I asked him if we could play together and he said I was still too little and I might get hurt. He said he's clumbsy sometimes and didn't want to trip on me... his hips hurt these days you know. I really want to get big soon...

 

My other human kept trying to get Penny to get a stick, but I got in the way and tried to take it instead... in the end, he said she was visiting and she should get the stick.... is that part of having maners too??? I don't like that part. We were there for a really really long time, but it was warm so we didn't mind. We had fun playing with our new friends!

 

Litter update: Scrappy AKA: Moose

Ahhhh... this is the LIFE!!! Valentines day and I get to snuggle with my favorite pal, Suki... well, actually she was taking up the whole bed and I was trying to nudge her off... She didnt' move. But

OH GUESS WHAT!!!

My human got a special letter from Scrappy's mom today!!! YAY! I have been thinking about him because we used to play together. She said has a big personality, is smart and is sneaky too... I wonder what she means by that. She says he's "A wide open pup". Thats good! Right? Means he's getting love and the right kind of food! Way to go supper scrappy! Scrappy power! (That's from Scooby-Doo... Scrappy... his son... remember??? Thats how he got his name here in the pen... Hehehe... My human told me that.)

Here are the photos she sent to us. He's just like ME! (but bigger boned)

Training day!

Snowy 13.5 weeks old

"Obedience training is one of the most important things you can do with your puppy"

My human says this all the time. Why? If you ask me, I don't know yet. I'm just little, but SHE says its so when we go places, I'll be nice and mind my maners. I'm not sure what that means yet, so I asked.

What does "mind your manners" mean? She says it means a lot of things.


She has a list of what maners are... she always has a list...

• When I walk nice on my leash next to her and not to pull.
• Its to sit when a car (I know what those are now!) comes down the road so the human inside knows I wont run inn front of it.
• Its when I sit for a treat and take it nicely and not to grab. (I don't get the treat if I grab)
• When we are out away from home and the park, and when I meet new humans, I don't jump. I sit nicely and wait for them to say hello to me first.
• I come when I'm called.
• When humans come into my house I stay away from the door and wait for them to come in.
• When I meet new dogs when on our walk I don't jump all over them or bark, I sniff nicely and say "Hello to you, I'm Snowy, What is your name?"
• It's to stay in my own yard and not run away.
• Its to stand nicely when I'm in my tubby and being brushed. (I like tubbies and being brushed)

yes... There's more...  Ugh... she always has more...

• Its when I am asked to stay out of the room she uses to make really neat smells in
• It's to keep my paws off the counter and the table. :(
• It's when we go to see the doctors that I'm brave and I don't fidget when he looks at me.
• Its when I let my human or anyone else take away a treat or toy that I really want to keep. (I know I'll get it back)
• I won't wiggle when being picked up.
• I sit nicely and wait for her to ask me to come out of my den (crate) and don't paw at the door.

She says this is the big one... When I'm ready, I'm going to have to take a big test that shows other humans I can do all these things and more. I'm going to be a S.T.A.R. puppy! What is that??? HA! I'm glad you asked. My human says that all this work is to get me and my litter mates ready for the test. She put a link up... it's HERE. Suki has her CGC title... that's Canine Good Citizen. She took a really really hard test in front of lots of humans and other dogs. The AKC humans gave her a medal and paper that says she's a very good dog. I want to take that test, but my human says I have to take this one first. When I'm still little THEN I can take the big dog test.

And for our humans... She came across this poster on YOUR manners towards US. hehehe... finally!!

Humans - Mind your manners towards dogs

So My human took some photos after our class yesterday. The only one who was there was Deacon. (Sherlock) He did very good. He's gotten very handsome! He's getting big and his brown is very shiny.

 

His human is holding him... He just moved close to the park so I get to see him all the time! He says he's happy with his home and Kayak is his friend. When he first came Kayak told him not to be afraid and that he would keep him company.

So we "caught up" and played! A lot...

Puppy Training 101

For all my littermates... I'm going to show off! Watch this!!

Puppy Update: Patches, Benji & Sherlock

Hay you guys! This is Snowy... I have some really cool news for you! I've been told all sorts of things about Benji, now Penny and Patches... I think her new humans kept her name, and Sherlock, now Deacon... but anyway I HAD to post some new photos for you! Both their families have been awesome with sending photos and updates. THANK YOU!!! So here they are!

Patches:
      

These are three of the photos Patches humans sent to us. The middle one was the first day she got to her new home. She's spoiled like me and gets to sit with her humans on the couch! The other two are of some of her playmates. The Golden is still a puppy too... he's a little older than one I think. I don't know how old the cat is, but I hear they are all getting along just fine!


Benji: (Penny)

 

This is Benji now... She's getting really big! I get to see her a lot because my human is teaching her humans  how to teach her manners. She's super spoiled and gets to go to a place where she can play all day with other puppies! She calls it Daycare. Must be fun! She says she's very tired from playing when she goes home. She's pretty lucky. She had to go to the Doctors the other day because she had too much fun and missed her nap... She's ok now though and found she can fit in her green bed under the table. I get to see her for a few days soon because she's coming here to visit! Her humans are going away and we're having a sleepover!!!!! YAY!!!

Sherlock: (Deacon)

This is Sherlock getting all big and handsome! (He's the black one) His pal is Kodak. When his human came to pick out one of us, he brought Kodak with him. Sherlock wanted to play with those two and not us, so that's how he got his home. I was told that his humans litter mate will be bringing him to teach manners too! YAY! How wonderful!

When I have more information I will defiantly get my human to write about it for me!

I'll save a toy for you!!!
