Irresistibly Cute!

Brandon is doing great, his house training is coming along wonderfully and he attended his first college class (slept right through it!) with me this morning.

But on to the furry cute PHOTOS...

I did take Brandon outside (with a camera!) yesterday and took a few nice pictures; he really didn't care to "sit still" for long, but I managed.

I will be doing the drawing with the "name game" contest winners (hopefully!) tomorrow; don't think I forgot about it!
Enjoy the furry cute pictures below, and don't worry, I've got lots more to come :)

Brandon's Raiser

Switch It Up...

Hey furry friends!
My raiser has been hogging the blog lately - due to "updates" on Toby, (like he's more important than me! NO WAY, I'm much cuter than him in a long shot).

I thought I'd give you guys a short update on me real quick... as you won't be seeing many posts next week.

This Sunday I will be leaving... Not for long! Just 1 week :)
My Raiser will be going to some week long "4-H Congress" event, and thinks I'm "too young" to attend it with her. But she hates going dogless to events, so she's doing a "puppy swap" with my furry friend Sparkie. (We puppy sat him last month).

Tomorrow after our puppy meeting we will be swapping - I'll go to Sparkie's house, and he'll come to mine!!

I know we are both going to have such furry fun, but I'll sure miss all you guys! I told Sparkie he could do a post or two - but he's leaving with my Raiser on Monday. So I don't know if he'll have time.
My raiser might "schedule" a post or two to publish while she's gone - just so I don't leave you guys completely!

So long furry friends, and I'm leaving you with 2 furry cool pictures of me!

P.S. My Raiser wanted to let all who commented on the last post know that the picture of Toby may have been sad - but he's really enjoying himself down there, and she wants to make sure you all know it's really heaven in the kennels at the school - so Toby doesn't think he's in "prison" or anything!

Furry Kisses!

It's Rudy approved!

Another Day??

Yep!
I offered to keep Tracker another day (or 2) if they (my neighbors) needed. It seems that Tracker is a "little" bit of a handful for a person who just had back surgery, so he came over this morning. (Liberty was quite happy!) and spent all day with me!

I'm loving how housebroken he is, and of course, how well he listens.
(I'm thinking... future guide dog?? Joking:) But he is smart enough for one!)

He's a great dog, and I'm so happy I get my "puppy fix" AND get a chance with "puppy training" before my new little one arrives :) (It's kind of like a "refresher course"!)

Tracker is a cutie, which makes for great pictures...
So enjoy the pictures (AND movies) below!

SEE MY NEW PUPPY!!

Want to??

The school my new puppy is coming from has a website. On that website they have a puppy cam, and on that puppy cam... they have MY PUPPY!

Every couple days the school posts new videos of different puppy litters, today's movie... has 8 black Goldadors (one of which is MINE!).

Please make sure to check out this site and watch the short video!

Also... Want to see a picture of my puppy? (better than the ones I got when I was down in FL).
The school posts pictures of the litters born their.

Go to their puppy photo page - and the first litter picture (all black pups - parents are Ginger & Jake) and see the cute puppies... one of them will be in my arms next month!
Or... just look below, as I put the picture in this post too :)

Don't forget to look at the Wordless Wednesday post I did earlier today.

(I normally only do a post a day - but since they change the puppy movies on the site every couple days, I didn't want you to miss seeing "my" puppy!)

Which one is mine... ??

Cute as a button...

Fresca and I have been having SOOO much fun together!

Though she doesn't spend all day with me, when she is inside we are having FUN, she is like the sister I always wanted!!

I'm thinking Fresca can run the blog while I'm at college and the new puppy isn't here yet - the name can be "Fresca's life... as a guide goat in training". What do you think?? She wouldn't be NEAR as good at blogging as I am, though... :)

Enjoy the pictures & movies below - showing what a great big brother I am, teaching her new things all the time!

(P.S. Don't forget to enter my giveaway - just leave a comment on my giveaway post and you'll be entered!)

Wow, 2010!

Hey everybody!

I hope you guys are having a pawsome 2010:)

I sure am!

(Picture of Toby's face/front 2 legs upside down on my sister)

I have now chewed up every new dog toy that I got for Christmas, besides the stainless steel bowl, and I'm very proud of myself.

(Picture of Toby tearing up a toy- with stuffing laying beside it)

I am enjoying the cold outside, it means my trainer now does my obedience training inside more than outside!

I'm also quite happy about getting pills for the medical issues I've been having - as my trainer dips them in peanut butter! (which is a dogs BEST friend). I should be off my antibiotics in about 1 week.

My trainer's sister had a friend over, so they all had a slumber party, and pulled out their sleeping bags, then when they went to bed I got locked in the crate!!

Please enjoy the pictures of how I spent MY New Years:)

(You may notice that in ALL the pictures I am on someone else's bed- aka human sleeping bags, which are quite comfy!)

Toby is awesome!

Look what my trainer made for me in a program called "paint"!!

(the first one is my name with different colors "sprayed" on it, and the second one is my name, with "the dog with a blog" under it, and many different words about me - such as, "guide dog, training, Lab, cute, blog, friendly, playful, trainer, woof, food, bark, treats, toys, quite, etc".)

Let me know how you like it!!
