Practicing for Water Soccer

I made the water soccer team and was practicing some shot blocking today! I love playing at the pool!! TBG fired one past me at the beginning...but I shut him out the rest of the time!

Took Deb shopping!

We went to Hobby Lobby first to get a few items and then headed to my favorite place...Lowe's!

                                                               Uhhh, I'm worth a LOT more than $82.46 there Bub!

Since I'm a little leary of open grates and soft crunchy footings, we worked for a long time on these bags. After a couple times it became fun to jump up there!

See, perfectly at home.

A rainy day outing

TBG figured since it was going to rain all day, we might as well spend it getting wet! We traipsed around town and worked on my commands in the rain.

Hey Aunt Linder, I'm not bothered by big puddles at the back of the car anymore!

We also went into stores and did some close quarter work.

                                                                     I wonder if I add value ??

OK, these steps were scary.

and....I never did feel comfortable on this rack! My feet kept slipping through.

I am one tired pup...it's nap time!

Bygone Days

I finished my Dognition games so TBG brought out a toy from the past! Of course I remembered it right away...my favorite ducky!!

Had a fun filled day!

I  finally got to go back to Waterford and see my friends! I hadn't been there since TBG (The Big Guy) broke his ankle and was happy to return!

I think my friends were very happy to see me as well!

Oh Yes I Did!!!! I was showing them the "jump" command....yeah, that's the ticket!

Hello everyone.

I was playing a little "swing" music for my fans!

We stopped by K-Mart for a few items. TBG worked me some more and I got to talk about myself to a nice family with 2 small children...I love kids!!

Deb's neck was a little sore so I talked them into going for a massage at Serenity Couture at the Mall! I actually got to sleep for an hour. Thanks self...I needed that!

It was my treat, so I got to pay!

It sure was nice to see all my friends again. See you next time!

The Chunkmaster and I

TBG and I went to his PT appointment today. He made me work first and then I got to lay around and watch Mr. Chunk work off some sweat. He sure is a little whiney critter!!

Something's wrong here!

Fun Saturday!

We spent the afternoon at Lowe's and the North Grand Mall. TBG has really been working my feet to the pads with my commands!

Here, I had to do a "jump", "turn" and "down"...all at the same time.

Met a new friend at Lowe's!  He was well versed on us service dogs and was happy to meet me! Hope to see my new friend Wes again!! Good luck with school.

TBG (The Big Guy for you newbs), didn't think I'd jump up on the OSB, but I sure proved him wrong!

While we were at the Mall, I tried to get my pics taken, but it wasn't working!

and for those that are in the know......I found my voice today! Needs a lot more work, but I'm on the right path.

Play Time!

For my peeps that always ask if I get to be a "regular" dog....this is what me and TBG do after a hard day's work!

TBG Bus Service

TBG had to do bus service today for Deb, so I convinced him to let me tag along. After we dropped Deb off at her meeting, TBG and I went out to Staples and K-Mart. Boy did we have some fun! We worked really hard on "up" today, as well as many others.

Can I pop the bubble wrap? Pa-leeeeeease?

This one's for Liza!

Yes, yes it was tight quarters!

I tried to get on top, but the man said...NO.

Where's PJ?

Ahhhhhh, a babbling brook.

I was able to relax...finally, as we waited for Deb's meeting to end.

I also got to meet some of Deb's fellow ISU folks. What a great way to end the day!!!!

Bass Pro Shop

We went to Des Moines to the Bass Pro Shop! Lots of people to talk to and even animals inside!

                                                                   Wrong time of year for a fire, but cool anyway!

Hey Mr. Ed, how about a ride?

Phhhhht, not afraid of you bub.

Hey TBG, can you fillet that fish for dinner?

OK, so Deb didn't think I could reach the top...I have to admit, it was a big stretch, but I did it!

I'll just rest here while you folks talk.

I LOVE my Aunt Lynny!

Back to the accident scene!

It was a nice day yesterday so I thought it would be good for TBG to return to the scene of his accident!

We ran through the same paces which consisted of playing around on the equipment.

The swings are still a little scary!

and finally...the accident scene. It doesn't look it, but that hill is pretty steep!

Saturday outing

Ames had a Dog Fair yesterday at the park, so we decided to check it out. Not a very big affair, but it was good to stretch the ole' legs!

After that, we headed up to the Mall where I got to go shoe shopping.

                                                                            Hmmm....sparkly or plain???

Shoe shopping can make a girl tired.

So, I got $2 off with a spin!

We stopped by the Hy-Vee on the way home so TBG could get some bacon. He was trying out a new recipe that Aunt Debbie sent him. Apparently, he liked it and I liked the smell of cooking bacon!!
