Hedy Visits Again

My sister, Hedy, got to sleep over last night.  We stayed up till about 3am talking to each other.  It's only been a week since I saw her last but we had so much to catch up on.  This morning while my furraiser had her meetings, we caught up on some of our sleep...well I did anyways.

 I have had so much fun with her here.  We have been playing up a storm when my furraiser takes us outside (and inside too).  I think she takes us out just so we have more room to play and that we will be quiet when she does have a meeting.  I wish she would stay longer but I know she has to go back this afternoon.  I'm sure I'll see her again soon but I know that I'm gonna miss her greatly.

Waffles' Shower

"By Beth"
On Wednesday morning, I was getting ready to take my kids to the dentist.  I had the shower running to get hot.  I opened the door to check the temperature and Waffles had to stick her head inside to investigate.  I figured she would get her head wet and back out of the stall very quickly.  To my surprise, when her head got wet, she jumped in.  She started to bite at the water as it was coming down and doing circles under the water.  It must have felt very good to her cause she stayed in until I was clean.  I think she liked the shower better than the bath or maybe she just is getting used to being wet.....either way, liking to be wet makes bath time alot easier for me.  Now I know next time when she gets a bath to let her play in the water first then try to wash her.

WOW....What a Week

First off, I hope that everyone had a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving day.  I've had a very busy week so this post will be long.  Sorry but I got to keep you updated on everything that has happened.


CHARLIE

What can I say?  We had so much fun together the past week.  We played tug-o-war, chase and wrestled.  Boy is he ever so fast.  My short little legs just couldn't keep up with him so I'd hide in special places and when he ran by me, I'd pounce on him.  It would surprise him every time....LOL.  And when we slept he would always have his arm or leg around me.  He went back to his furraiser on Saturday.  I don't think he really wanted to go and I certainly didn't want him to go.  I miss him.

MY VET VISIT

On Tuesday, I had my first vet visit.  I'm not sure what a vet is but the office had a cage full of kitties that I just so badly wanted to play with.  My furraiser wouldn't let me go over there though.  Sometimes she can be a stick in the mud.  I just wanted to say hi and see if they wanted to play....boo.   Anyways, when they called my name I went into the room with the lady with the long white coat.  She was really nice to me.  She took a really small comb and rubbed my back with it.  It felt really good especially under my collar where it itches so bad.  Good news is that I don't have fleas...YIPPEE.  Bad news is that I have very dry skin.  My furraiser is going to have to put conditioner on me next time she gives me a bath.  My furraiser and the vet talked a little more while the other lady took me in the back room.  She put me on this metal thing that told her how much I weigh.  I've gained 7 pounds since I've been at my furraiser's house.  That's not bad though cause the vet says I have a really good figure....of course I do, I'm a gorgeous little girl.  At the end they gave me a treat and I felt this very quick prick on my shoulder.  I was not turning my treat away for it though and it didn't last very long either so must not have been too important.  After that, we went home and I slept all night.

Well, that's all for me.

My Buddy Charlie

I have had sooo much fun with Charlie being here.  We play tug-o-war and wrestle all the time.  He has become a good buddy to me.  It has only been 2 days but I think he is awesome like a big brother should be.  He even lets me crash next to him once we are all tuckered out from playing so much.  Although I think Charlie just lets me lay next to him while I sleep and he peeks.  I don't care because I think it's cool that he lets me do it and keeps me warm too.  I'll share my pillow with him anytime he wants to come over and stay.

Sorry Charlie.....

Ok so, my furraiser did bring me another friend.  Yesterday, she brought me Charlie S.  He is a 6 month old yellow lab, just like me only a different color and older and bigger and a boy.  Ok so maybe not JUST like me.

He loves to play just like me.  However, he is a bit rough sometime because he doesn't realize that I'm smaller.  I've found out though all I have to do is yell a little and Max comes to my rescue and steps in between us.  I guess he is starting to like me but I bet he won't admit it to anyone.

I like my new friend Charlie S. but I don't get it when my furraiser laughs when she says "sorry Charlie".  I guess I'm just too young for that joke.  I watched Charlie as he went into his crate last night when it was time for bed.  He just went right in and made himself comfortable.  I figured, I can do that so I showed my furraiser that I knew what "crate in" means and went in all by myself.

My furraiser keeps telling me that she wishes he would teach me how to busy outside.  I don't understand what she means.  I go outside all the time and I'm busy playing all the time.  I just don't get what she wants me to do........

Anyways, time to play some more.  Bark at you soon.

My Sister Hedy

It's been a while since I posted but I've been so busy.  Last Friday, the 19th, my sister Hedy came to visit me for a playdate.  I was so happy to see her that I jumped on her with a big 'ol hug the minute she walked in the door.  It was on from there.  We played all afternoon with only a break to eat and busy.  My furraiser said we had to have a couple of timeouts though cause we both were getting to rough with each other.  Max didn't seem to mind the break though.  He just laid in the sun basking in the enjoyment of not having to play with me....LOL. 

I really didn't want to see her leave but I knew she had to go back to her own home.  I was really tired and sleep so good all night long.  My furraiser even told me that Hedy didn't move when she went to get her out of the car.  I guess she was just as tired.  I miss her so.  I was very sad the next couple days but my furraiser told me that I was going to get another friend to play with later.

I miss my all my sisters and hope that they all at some point can share some time at my place.

Blessing of the Guide Dogs

Today I got to go to church where there were other guide dogs and blind people and even seeing people.  It was fun and I wanted to play with all of them.  My raiser kept telling me "No noise" in my ear but I just wanted to talk to them.  I even tried to sing along with them.

They had a special ceremony for all the guide dogs, even those of us in training.  My sisters, Hedy and Judy, were there with me and we all were blessed for the jobs that we will one day perform.  We got a special red heart to wear to remind us that we are truly blessed to be able to help others.

I was given a very special gift while I was there.  A little girl named Arianna, colored a picture of a dog that looked just like me.  The little girl and parents didn't see it but it made my raiser's eyes tear up cause it touch her heart.  Thank you for such a special gift.
