Little Swimmer

I think I mentioned that my mom bought me a baby pool, but I was unsure of what to do in it at first. Well, that has all changed. They have these pools at daycare also, so of course I follow all my buds in and do what they do. It is so fun and feels so good when it's hot out. Mom was super excited that I swim at daycare so one afternoon she filled up my pool to see what I'd do...and well....take a look for yourself:

I like to stick my face under the water

I love the water!

Blowing bubbles

Just hanging out

I love the water! I can't wait to get to the lake and really swim! You know, where it's deep enough to do the doggie paddle! I got a life vest to wear because safety is important!

I'm heading to a big dog park today. I'll post about it later! Happy Summer everyone!

Climbing

I had an exciting evening last week. Mom got home and put me in the car (yes she literally has to pick me up and put me in the car!) We ended up at the King household. I hadn't been there since I was a small puppy. I got to play with their dogs Lucas and Ella, and Harley was there too! I was super excited when we first got there and had to be penned up with Lucas and Ella. But then we got to go outside in their big yard and run and play ball. It was so fun! They don't have a fence like me but I was a good boy and stayed around, except for when I went up on the neighbors deck but I just wanted to say hi.

Lucas and I ran super fast. He is really good at getting the ball. Hannah was throwing us the ball and then she  climbed up in her play fort thing and kept squeaking it. I really wanted it, so I decided to just climb the ladder to get it! Everyone was so shocked that I climbed up the ladder steps, but it was easy. I think mom was concerned about how I would get down. I had two options, 1. slide or 2. climb back down. I bet you were thinking I took the slide, but I didn't I took the steps down. Here are the photos Carl took. I wish we had a video of it.

Going up!

Coming back down

I'm thinking of going to agility school? Stay tuned for my post on swimming!!

Sorry It's Been So Long

Hello Friends, Family and Fans!

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I've been a very busy boy! (I think I said that last time too, but it really is true.)

I am proud to announce that I now have a fenced in yard! I spend a lot of time outside now running laps, playing with the dogs in the back, chasing balls and just exploring all the sections of the yard that I could not get to while tied up. I am in LOVE with the fence and yard! Big thanks to my daddy, Grandpa Jeff and Andy for getting it put up. I'll be planning a dog party where all my friends can come over and check it out. (My birthday is coming up, so maybe I'll have a party then.)

Other than running in my yard, I've been walking a lot lately with my mom. She's training for the Komen 3-Day walk and I am her helper. I can only make it about 3 miles, but hey, that's pretty good.

Speaking of 3 miles, I participated in my first 5K this past weekend! Mom took me to the Parkinson's Steady Strides Race where I got to help support Uncle Garry! It was a blast. I got to meet lots of new people, my best friend Oscar walked with me, I got to eat some bread and I can't even count the number of compliments I got. (Most were along the lines of "Pretty dog." "He's so cute".) And lots of little kids asked to pet me. I was very well behaved and super sleepy when we got home.

So happy to be there

Passed out afterwards

Those are some of the big things I've been up to lately. I've still been attending daycare. We got to play in pools the other day! I had fun. Mom got me a baby pools so maybe I'll play in that soon (and take pictures). I've attended a few softball games of dads. But I get really bored and annoy mom (unless my girlfriend Nash is there), so I might not get to go for awhile. :(

I'm looking forward to learning how to swim (or showing off my swimming skills since it is supposed to come naturally to me). I hope I get to go to the Tennessee lake house this summer. I think that would be a fun time.

Well, time to go play some more ball and bark outside. Have a great week everyone!
