Vacation

My raiser and her family went on "vacation" for a week in Maryland and just got back yesterday evening (my raiser's brother was graduating from the United States Naval Academy this past Tuesday).
My raiser found me a puppy sitter for the whole week, and boy did I have a blast! I even had a buddy to play with at the sitter's house and we sure had some fun together :)
My raiser truly enjoyed her break from the farm, work, dog raising, etc; but was extremely glad to be back home when the time came.  I really missed her and was so super glad to see her when she picked me up!
Since she's been so very busy getting ready for her vacation and has just now gotten back from it... she's yet to get any recent pictures of me :(  But I will be sure to fix that shortly, so beware of a "major picture post" in a few days!

I should have been in this picture...

Picture Perfect

My raiser went to a Naval Academy event a few weeks ago, and decided to take me with her, since it would be a "great exposure" fur me!
I absolutely LOVED the event, all the humans there liked me, we got some furry cute pictures of my raiser & I, and best of all... there was FOOD! What a sec, that was something my raiser loved about the event... I'm not allowed to eat human food :(
My raiser said I did furry well at the event, and obeyed wonderfully! There sure were a lot of people there... and I handled it perfectly! (of course...)
Enjoy the furry cute pictures below!

Behaving during a Meeting = FUN Afterwards!

I attended a Naval Academy Event with my furry cool raiser/family; where they would be packing boxes to send up to all of our "groups" mids. (I just slept...)
Doing what my raiser asked of me; I did a down-stay during the meeting, somehow managing to fall asleep, with all those people talking (see movies below).
But the one thing I didn't know my raiser was planning... was IF I behaved well during the meeting, then before we left - she'd let me have a short "playdate" with Biscuit (a yellow lab who lived at the house we were doing the meeting at).
Funny thing was - since Biscuit was outside in their fenced in yard; I didn't even realize a dog was there! (I did smell a furry cool creature... but I didn't know fur sure if it was a doggy).
since I behaved SO WELL during the meeting, my raiser & the owner of Biscuit had both of us doggies on the leash - and let us (slowly) meet.
My raiser was told that Biscuit doesn't always like strange dogs - but fur some GOOD reason, she fell in love with me... and we played for over an hour!
(Biscuit is a 6yr old, SPAYED female)
My raiser took many pictures and videos (see below), I hope you enjoy them :)
Furry Monday kisses!

Behaving during the meeting...


(Movie of Rudy in a down-stay; you can hear the people in the background talking... quite loudly. Near the end of the movie; the chair beside him, gets pushed into his head... all he does is move his head to a different place! Good distraction training)


(Movie of Rudy in a down stay - in coat/harness, people are talking in the background; and many people are walking by/stepping over Rudy. He isn't fazed at all by the distractions/shoes/people.)


Equals; FUN afterwards...
