4 Months old

On May 9th, I turned 4 months old and my legs are really shooting out from under me.  I finally received my last set of shots from the vet, (yea!!), and I weighed in at 32.2 pounds.  I am almost as tall as Roudy, (and I can keep up with her when we are running and playing outside).

On Thursday I started puppy kindergarten class at Petco.  There are 3 in our class and I am so far ahead of the other 2 puppies - they don't know any commands and I already know all that we will be learning during the next 6 weeks.  Mom says I am so smart!!  The teacher is going to be working on my socialization, (I already think I'm very sociable with the other puppies), and distraction, (apparently I'm not supposed to be snooping in the aisles and visiting with people and other pets while mom's shopping). I was so tired after the first day of class that I came home and plopped down on my bed and went out for my afternoon nap.

Dad and I have learned a new game this week.  It's called "bring me the ball".  He throws my ball, I run as fast as I can, get the ball bring it back to him, then I get a treat and he's so happy to get the ball.  Sometimes, I watch what direction I think he's going to toss the ball and I get a little bit of a head start running to get to the ball, so I can get back quicker for my Charlie Bear treat.  A couple of times Dad tricked me and tossed the ball in a different direction - NOT fair!!  But not to worry, I will get him trained. 

In the meantime, keep wagging your tails and working on those commands.  Until next time -
