Busy Time

Yep, it sure is a busy time for Gigi and me!  Of course we are always playing so that takes up most of our day(s)!  Then mom is back on 'her' training kick for both of us!  I don't know why I have to learn more stuff!  Gigi is the one who needs training but she's doing pretty good (that's what mom says).  I honestly don't pay attention....I just want the treats for doing a good job.

This is us playing!

 And this is us taking a nap after playing!  

This is a video mom took of Gigi doing her YI/YO (that stands for Yer In, Yer Out!).  We're suppose to come running out of the crate and turn around and run back in really fast!!  Mom was so happy Gigi did this.  Usually she just comes out of her crate and sits and stares at mom!  It's kinda funny but she knows now what she is suppose to do.   Of course, I've done this good for years now!

We've only been going on one walk a day, early in the morning.  It was 90+ degrees today and just too hot for us!  Besides, we're tired from playing all day!

Now I am a big sister!!

This is Gigi my new sister!!! Mom and dad adopted her this past Saturday.  I guess they refer to that day (July 11) as her "gottcha" day.  Her birthday is really on May 14 (2012) and she weighs 10.1 lbs.  That's all I know about my little 'sister'.   This is mom and dad when they picked Gigi up!

Mom and dad said they wanted me to have someone to play with and we sure play!  Whew!  Dad thinks I'm going to lose weight but I think I may gain weight because we are both going to build up muscle from our playing and walks!

Yep, Gigi loves her walks too.  Mom is working with her as sometimes she wants to growl and go after the dogs that bark at us.  Mom said I am so good because I ignore those barking dogs.  Last night mom took Gigi past a barking dog twice and she did real good!

I still get to sleep in the bed with mom and dad.  Mom said Gigi will stay in her crate at night because she is used to that and doesn't seem to mind at all.  And she sleeps all night long!  Mom likes that too.  And because I am so tired from playing all day I'm sleeping really good!!!  Mom said I don't hardly move at all anymore!
I kinda like being a big sister!  So far it's a lot of fun and I have someone with me all the time now!!!

It's My Birthday!!!

Yep, it's my birthday today and I am four years old!  Mom said I'm still a puppy to her but I think I am more like a teenager!   This is me when I first came to mom and dad when I was about 8 weeks old!  

I think I looked kinda funny but mom said I was really cute...now she says I'm beautiful!

I guess I am rather pretty but sometimes I would prefer  to just roll in the mud or dead animals instead of wearing a dress!  But, mom likes me to dress up when I go to my day job.  We all have jobs to do..mine is to visit folks in nursing homes.  Dad's job is to golf and mom does this sewing thing!  That is how we all work.  I love them a lot and they love me and I get to go for rides with mom wherever she goes!  Life is good.  Now I just hope I get a birthday cake today!!!
