Just Hanging Around!

This is me just hanging around!  I do get bored from time to time...mom doesn't like me to lie on top of the edge.  I'm not sure why!  She makes me get off the top of the couch so this is the only way I can look out the front door (without lying on the floor!). 

This is me just keeping an eye out for dogs who walk in front of the house on our street!

Mom's in the kitchen so I can watch her at the same time!  Works for me!

PLEASE, Mom!  Can't we go to Rally class!!  I'm so bored!!!

Mom and dad have been taking really good care of me with my bum leg!  But it's getting a little boring...same old...same old thing every day.  Although, mom has been taking me for small walks.  She said because she has to carry me up and down the stairs to go potty, I'm not getting any exercise.  She thinks it's good to keep the muscles moving at least.  Thank goodness for that!  At least we get to walk around the yard or if it's cool enough then we'll walk in our sub.  She won't take me up and down the hills yet but that's ok.  I get out of the house and get to smell all those doggie smells out there!  Sometimes I even pick up some trash from the street (I'm not a litter bug myself!) but mom makes me drop it.  Don't know why she doesn't just pick it up and throw in the trash.  She always does this 'icky' face.  I'll keep trying to get her to pick up litter! 

So for another week or two guess this will be me.  Just sitting around trying to make mom and dad feel guilty so they'll at least hold me!  Works for me!

Not it's not me...but it could be!

Mom said this could be me if we only had a piano! 

Poor me

This is me helping mom sew the other day.  Actually, I didn't help much...I was just holding the fabric still for her but it wasn't exactly what she wanted me to do.  But mom doesn't care as long as I'm with her during the day.  Which I will be doing a whole lot more of!  I hurt my back leg the other day and now the joint is poping in and out!  Weird for sure!
Mom took me to the doggie Dr. today and he said to keep me from jumping up or going up steps and just take it easy.  I'm not really in any pain unless I twist my leg and it pops out!  Sometimes I might yelp but mainly I just walk funny and then it pops back in and I'm fine again! 

Mom is really disappointed because we won't be going to Rally class for a few weeks!!  I'm bummed too because I really like Mary Jo and all the folks over at Custom Dog Training!!  But we will be back I know 'cause my mom takes good care of me. 

I'm all grown up now

This used to be my buddy when I was really little!  Mom and dad said I'm just getting way to big now....what do you think?  This is me on September 8th, 2011!

And this is me on July 6th, 2012!

I'm all grown up now!!!

Where I sleep while mom sews!

This is me doing one of the things I do best!  Sleeping!  I like sleeping on my mom's sewing table and especially sleeping behind her machine when she sews!  The hum of the machine is so relaxing!
 Mom puts one of my beds up on her sewing table for me to look out the window and lie in but this place is way better! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Mom said today is my birthday!  I'm one year old today!  Dad said he can't believe I was a little 4 lb puppy at one time!  But I was!  and I was kinda cute, wasn't I!

Mom said she doesn't have anything special planned today and we already took our walk early this morning so guess it's just another day...but I am getting lots of hugs and kisses!  Just because I'm so cute!
