New Experiences
Last Monday took the parents to their first puppy class. Someone needs to teach them how to train me. Met about 6 new friends one was about my size,the rest were quite small. One the whole I was well behaved and learnt what I needed to do to get a few treats, mainly looking at mum and dad. I've also noticed they haven't been using my name when I do something wrong, so I'm happier to listen when they do call my name.
Went into town a few times to get me used to different things, apparently they have a list to tick off. So I did meet someone with a trolley and a long scarf. that was good fun hanging off the end of it. Mum was a bit red faced but I did leave it straight away so got a treat for that. An ambulance went by with the siren sounding and mum said I was very calm and sat nice and still. There was lots of traffic and apart from pulling on the lead I handled the noise very well. Plenty of people stopped to say hello so I got lots more treats.
Had a few trips to the seaside for yet more training. Working on a long lead for my recall. Wasn't too bad but there are so many smells and the taste of seaweed is just divine. Still the sausage and chicken they brought as treats did have a bit of pulling power. They left me in the car when we got back home, only for 5 minutes so I just sat and waited.
Mum keep playing with my ears, eyes and opening my mouth. Apparently helps if I'm used to being touched around the face. Okay fine just give me the treats. They decided to cut my nails, did try a grinder but I definately didn't like that. Was quite happy when they used the clippers though and they fed me of course.
Time to log off. See you soon.

Christmas antics
Christmas was great. Loads of wrapping paper to get rid of. I helped by tearing it into small pieces for mum and dad. Loads of people came to stay so I got plenty of attention. Really enjoyed Christmas dinner, shame I couldn't have the pudding. Weather was pretty abismal so every time I go out to the garden I come back in covered in mud. Supposed to be good for the complexion so I will look even more gorgeous. (Is that possible?)
There was a couple of good days so we went to the seaside and I got to meet a few friends one of which was a big dog like me, except she was much bigger than me. Dad said she was a 3year old mantle Great Dane. I've arranged to meet her again when I am a bit older! We went to the cafe again. I was so good and got plenty of attention. My lead walking needs work so I will spend some time training mum and dad as I would hate to pull them over. Got the hang of sit. I tend to do it for everything. Down, stay, stand and leave are all coming along well, though I haven't done this outside as yet. Mum says we will be going puppy training soon so we will soon see how good I am.
Dad weighed me last week and I am now 22kg. Gradually growing into my feet and ears, and my nose is less wrinkly. May be going into the town this week, apparently lots of people and traffic. I will let you know how I get on.
