I like to fetch!

I really like the "Kong on a Rope"

When are the Canadians going to take their Geese back?

We like to walk and hike to different areas. Well let me tell you, there is one area that I can smell from far away and it always get's me excited. The Canada Goose area. These are suburban geese though, and are becoming accustomed to being fed by the humanz. I'm sure the humanz mean well, but I'm the domesticated animal, they should feed me, not the wild geese.

There is an old saying, a fed bear is a dead bear. Basically, as bears get habituated to eating human food, they get closer to humans, and are less fearful of them. Until eventually they are a nuisance and have to be shot.

So, as a public service to the geese, I have taken it as my solemn responsibility to make sure these geese are appropriately fearful of humans and dogs, especially bird dog retrievers.

I is edumacated

Today was the last day of my Puppy Pre-school class. It was a really fun class, and I got to play with and wrestle a lot of other dogs while I was there.

We also learned things like watch, sit, down, leave it, drop it, come and other stuff. I'm still pretty excited when we go for walks, and get distracted easily, but I'm learning and practicing.

We took pictures in class today. Here are the two human children trying to keep me still (which I don't do very often).

Next step, learning how to spells better.

I like Ice Cream!!

I mentioned in a previous blog how the humanz really like their treats. Well, there is one treat that's cold, creamy and oh so good. They don't let me have table scraps or human food, but once in a while I get to lick out an empty ice cream carton. Now I gotta figure out how to get a whole container of ice cream.

Football anyone?

I got to hang out with some Boy Scouts earlier today. They played some football so I thought I'd join the action. This park was so huge, and out of the way, this is the longest I've been "off leash" ever. I didn't go too far though. The boss dude kept practicing commands I already know, like sit and come. You'd think he forgot them already the way he kept going through them.

He put the leash back on when they were eating snacks though, it's not my fault the food smelled so good, I asked everyone for a handout, hey running is hard work.

LOL me

Feel free to go to IHASAHOTDOG and make your own funny title to this picture.

I'm getting BIGGER!

Had a visit with the fun vet lady last week. She always says good things about me, listens with the stethoscope, looks at my ears, nose and teeth. She often gives me a shot, but I don't feel it. I get a treat afterwords, and lots of scritches behind the ears.

I was 33.5 pounds. Here are two pictures, one from February 5, and the other from April 7th. I think the cat's flower bed has shrunk, what do you think?
