TBG and I made a trip to Council Grove!

He needed to go back and pick up a few more items, so we packed up the big truck and headed out Tuesday morning. Let's just say, the accommodations were not as comfy as the silver bullet!! I had to travel in the front seat (in my crate) next to TBG. I took up most of the truck!

Once in CG, I got to meet my old friend Brad and spent some time spreading my puppy awesomeness. We walked around town, met a few people and generally burned off some stored energy. We played some fetch in TBG's old store.



We got up the next morning and headed back to Ames. TBG surprised me with a stop at Gabe's house for a little play time with Gabe and Leitner! We took turns being the "top dog".

Aunt Debbie and Aunt Linder wanted some fresh puppy breath, so I happily obliged!

I had a ton of fun and traveled well (so TBG says). It's been nice to kick back and relax now that we're back in Ames.

Checking out the Ames scenery

We headed out to a local park today that Deb found while out on her walks.

We crossed a bridge that reminded TBG of Shevlin Park in Bend, Oregon. That was where Jeb used to go hiking!

I did some lite reading of the work done on the walking trails.

and met some of the area wildlife.

If you look hard, you'll see Mister Rabbit!

All said, I had a great time on our walk and met some nice folks AND wildlife. I did collapse on the floor when we got back home though. Hey, us little pups don't have a lot of stamina!!

They like me, they really like me!

Of course I'm talking about the nice people in Ames!

First, we went walking around the campus yesterday while waiting for Dr. No to finish work. Me and "The Big Guy" worked on a set of open grated metal stairs. I think I need to grow a little more, my feet almost fell through!

Today on our walk, TBG decided I needed a little practice crossing the street. Here's the sequence...

I pretty much rocked that! Surprised Deb how well I did.

As we headed back to the house, we crossed paths with a couple that were working hard. Of course, my awesome puppyness lured them away from their work and I got to spread some puppy lov'n!

Told them all about me and Canine Companions and the cool things that I'll learn as I get bigger.

Good luck in YOUR new adventure!

PJ has been TP'd

You know you live in a college town when you wake up to this!

I must have been in a kibble coma last night to not notice that they got me too!

Really kids? Really??

Payback if I find out who it was ;^) Barking can be annoying too .

Tried to go to work with Dr. No

I gave it my best shot today. Had all my gear on and was on my best behavior. Walked nice on the leash, did my fur and trimmed my eyelashes and nails before we left the house. I walked to the bus stop with Dr. No and was ready to board the bus...

But, TBG stepped in and put an end to my plan. Something about not being old enough, blah, blah, blah. Oh well, I did give it my best shot. I'll just have to wait a few more months!

Out on the town

We took a trip to a park today. Had my longest walk so far! I'm not much a fan of this gentle leader, but I am getting used to it.

It was pretty hot for a gal wearing a fur coat! I found some shade and cried "Uncle"!

Let's just say, the rest of the afternoon was like yesterday...SLEEPING!

TBG, what do you mean we'll go for another walk tomorrow??

Met a fellow CCI pup today

Got to meet "Detroit" today. No, not the Motor City, but the CCI puppy!

                                   Boy, was he a cutie!

Got to meet Detroit's buddy...Uhhh..."Buddy"

He was NOT interested in us pups at all! TBG and Dr. No liked him though.

Detroit's humans were very nice, they even got out the pool for us to play in. I did my best to show Detroit how much fun water is, but him being a lot "Golden", he was not as interested as I was!

Here we are disagreeing on lunch.

Big thanks to Detroit's puppy raisers for allowing us some puppy play time. It sure was fun!

* UPDATE *

TBG here, the little porker (FBG...Fat Bottom Girl) was fast asleep, but could still be heard over the TV! Playing is hard work.
