So Many Adventures
Hi Friends! Wow, it has been a long time since I last shared my adventures with you. There is so much that has happened. I've was laid up for a bit last week, Ryan said it was because I got "fixed", but more about that later. It gave me some time to remember all the fun things that have happened that I can tell you about.
A while ago Ryan and Nichole got together with some of their friends, and I got to come along! I was so excited to see all the people, but then I realized I wasn't the only dog there either! There were 3 other dogs there, and 2 of them were way bigger then me! We got to run and play, I was a little scared of them, until my doggie friend that I already knew showed up. There was this one dog, the really big one...he was so fast! I almost got ran over! We played with some sticks that we stole from the corner of the yard too, I was totally not guilty, I swear. It was all my doggie friend, I just happened to be sitting by him! I was so tired by the end of the night, but R
yan said I behaved really well and I got an awesome treat on the way home.
I've been learning alot too, at least I think I have been. Sometimes Ryan disagrees and says I'm stubborn. I've gotten really good at this game "Fetch" where Ryan or Nichole throw one of my favorite toys, than I go get it! I'm supposed to bring it back to them, and I do sometimes. It's just so hard to let go of my toy once I have it! Even if I do love to go fetch it again. I had a frisbee, but I sort of chewed it up one time when I was so happy to have it back.
I got to meet some other dog neighbors too, they live in our neighborhood. I've seen them a couple times when Ryan takes me walking, they seemed so big. Well, let me tell you, in person, well, in dog, they are much bigger! But they were really nice, so I let them chew on my stick that I brought back from a walk by the pond.
Ryan and Nichole and their friends and my doggie friend all went to this really big park a while ago too. They said it was called a Frisbee Golf course, and I love those but they are so frustrating! The throw these frisbees really far, well, Ryan throws them really far, Nichole tries really hard.
But, I'm not allowed to fetch them! It is so hard to behave when the discs go flying! I got to run free for a little while, but I started fetching the disc like I'm supposed to, but for some reason they weren't very happy when I brought it back to them. My doggie friend and I had some fun adventures, and even got to cool off in a stream by the frisbee golf ar
ea. It was a fun day, and I was so tired from fighting against Ryan the whole time because I wanted to fetch the frisbee so badly!
The next week after our frisbee golf adventure, Nichole took me to the Vet's office. She brought my bear along, and I wasn't sure why. Well, it turns out I had to stay at the office over night, I'm really glad she sent my bear along. A nice lady took me back, and I didn't even realize that Nichole was leaving. I was a little scared when I realized I was alone, but the lady was really nice and told me things would be ok. There were alot of other dogs there, and they were very noisey. I kept quiet and just watched everything. I was given my own kennel to lay in which was nice. The nice vet was there, and they put me up on this table and said I was going to take a nap, and it was like magic! I fell asleep right away! When I woke up, I was back in that kennel. I was a little confused, but it was nice having my bear there next to me. I love my bear. I didn't feel any different, but the vet said I got fixed, I don't know what that means but maybe Nichole will explain it to me. I had to spend the night at the vet's office, it was a little scary but I was sleepy from that magic nap I had earlier in the day. The next morning, Nichole came to pick me up, and I was so excited to see her!!! I walked right up and gave her kisses. She was holding my bear, so I sort of jumped to get it. That jump hurt me a litlte, still not sure why. Nichole handed me my bear while all the nice ladies at the Vet's offic said good bye, they were nice, but I really wanted to go home, so I carried my bear over to the door and waited, apparently that was really funny. I carried my bear out to the car and Nichole lifted me in, and whoa!!! There was the biggest treat I've ever seen in my life. It was sooo good, and I got new goose toy, and this thing that floats on the water, it was wonderful. I laid pretty low the next week, so I could recover from whatever happened. I recovered pretty quickly and Ryan and Nichole were able to take me out again!
Swimming has become my new favorite hobby, and I love playing fetch out in the water. Ryan
bought me some toys that float, and I love swimming to get them! Yesterday we did something new down by the pond, we sat in a canoe. I was really confused at first, becasue we were out on the water...but no one was swimming. I tried putting my feet out to paddle like I was swimming, but Ryan and Nichole said I didn't have to, that I needed to sit down. It was actually kinda fun. I invented a game called "I'm going to drop my toy in the water, and Ryan is going to get it out" I don't think Ryan liked the game very much. After we paddled around for a while, I got to go swimming! It was so much fun. I've even learned how to take a flying leap in to the wat
er. I'm a really good swimmer now, at least that's what Nichole said, and she says she's a swimmer too. I haven't seen one of them swim, although I'm not sure how they could, they only have two legs! I'm looking forward to seeing Nichole swim, that might be funny!
Sorry that it has been so long friends. I have to go now, I'm supposed to be taking a nap right now, and I think Nichole is on her way back here. I'll put up some pictures from other adventures soon!

Water Dog
Hello friends! I hope you all are doing great! Wow, alot has been going on around our house. The fi
rst thing, is I am getting huge. Ryan said I weigh almost 50 pounds now! He also said I'm the same size as their old friend Shep, and he was fully grown. I guess I'm going to be a big dog. I'm a little clumsy still, because my legs have gotten really long; I'm not very good at going around corners on the hard wood floor, or very good at stopping on the hard wood floor.
On Easter, Ryan and Nichole took me to the park with Nichole's family and my doggie friend's parents came too! They let me off my leash, and I got to run around. They kept throwing these things in the air, that were alot of fun to chase. But, for some reason they weren't very happy when I brought it back. I guess I'm not supposed to play fetch with frisbee discs. But, Ryan said he'd get my my own frisbee that I can chase, I'm excited for that!
It's been getting warmer out lately, which is kinda weird to me because I'm a winter puppy and I sort of prefer the colder weather. But, Nicholes' been taking me on walks down to the pond by our house which is lots of fun. Every time we go, I always bring a stick back with me. I even carry it all the way home by myself. One time, I carried one all the way home that was twice as long as me! The other day it was really warm out, so I went and stood in the water up to my chest, it felt nice. I discovered a new game that is alot of fun, I call it splashing! I tap the water with my foot, and water comes up toward me and I can bite at it! It's a great game, and it feels nice when it's warm out. Last weekend, Ryan and Nichole took me down the the pond again, and threw a stick for me. Well, it went out in the water, and I decided to go after it! I swam halfway across the pond and back! Turns out, I'm a pretty good swimmer, having big paws helps too. Nichole was pretty proud of me, she even did a happy dance.
I'm learning really well too. I know sit, stay, down...and I'm learning a new trick called "Bang" which I think means play dead. I like to play games, especially when I get treats at the end! Good to talk to you friends. Have a good day and go play outside if you can!

Busted!
Hi Friends! I've been really busy this week...losing teeth and eating things! I also got to play with my doggie friend all day on Saturday, we learned how to play tug of war with his rope!
Earlier this week I got a hold of one of Nichole's socks, the really soft ones that are sparkly (they're my favorite). I was so excited that I got it that I swallowed it. It didn't go down so well. Nichole and Ryan were really worried about me. I didn't sleep very well, but luckily for me I threw up the sock the next morning. I don't think Nichole has ever been so excited to see me throw up. I think she threw the sock away. I felt sort of bad...but that didn't stop me from eating things!
Today, I got busted eating toilet paper while Nichole took a shower. Too bad I couldn't hide the evidence faster....
Have a good day!
