SNOW!?! (and Christmas party)

SNOW?

Well that's what I thought. All these dog blogs my trainer follows are posting about snow.

Having pictures attached of dogs jumping, fighting, playing, eating, and running in snow.

So I was pretty excited to hear we would be having snow Saturday.

But I was wrong, all we got was sleet & ICE. It did start snowing for a little while, with SLEET mixed in, but by Saturday morning the only thing I could do was slip and slide:(

My trainer couldn't even get me to play outside! My feet wouldn't sink into the white magic like I was told it would.

I am really not to fond of ice skating rinks, so I couldn't wait for the ice to go away!

Of course today it is all melted, and I am thankful for that:) My trainer said maybe next time it might be snow!

Sorry about the snow pictures - my trainer forgot to take me out early Saturday morning, so by the time she took me out late afternoon more than half of the white magic was gone!

Yesterday night I went to a Christmas party. My trainer "made" me wear this jingle bell collar, and everyone kept saying I was CUTE!

My trainer also had me do a down stay, leave it. She wanted to eat with her friends on the ground, so I had to lay beside her without moving, and knocking over cups/or eating food.

She was very proud of me, since I didn't mess with any one's food!

My trainer is trying to contact our area coordinator for the guide dog group, to find out if I can have my Nyla bones back! I'm told to keep my paws crossed. I found out it's not near as easy as it sounds?? Think about it... paws crossed, it's hard!

Enjoy all the pictures!! (Remember, I asked my trainer to label the photos for me.)
