I want to go out for a walk in the world but Mom says I have to wait one more week! She says I will be a big boy next Saturday and then I can walk everywhere! YAY!!!! (although I do like being carried)

 

And now for the Levi Report!!!!

Levi is in Phase 2!!!!!

YAYYYYY!

Phase 2—In town
In Phase 2 ...
The dog gets to go in town. By now, the dog is comfortable with his harness and has adjusted
to the kennel. The dog is taken on a planned distraction route. Remember watching the movie
Up? The dog needs to be able to walk and not scream SQUIRREL. The dog also gets to see the
obstacle course.

Yay Levi!

Bath Time in Puppy Land

 

So a crazy thing happened to me this weekend! I was running around and playing (getting all smelly and stuff, It was GREAT!) and Mom decided because of that,  I needed a bath....YUCK!

 I tried to give her the sad eyes so she would let me out of the tub....

 That didn't work so I got reaaaaaaally pitiful!

Still didn't work so I started looking for an escape... 

 Then I heard Rembrandt laughing at me from outside the door. (Don't worry I got him back later by curling up with him to keep warm!)

 

Finally I just gave up and closed my eyes.....Sigh...my life is so hard!

 

 Now for the Levi Report

Levi is in Phase 1!!!!!! 

In Phase 1

Formal training begins and the dog re-discovers food rewards and learns about clickers. Sit,
down, and stay is reintroduced in a very precise way. Dogs learn to refuse offers of hamburgers
from strangers and to not pick up strange food off the floor. Dogs are introduced to the harness,
get their teeth and ears cleaned, and get petted and massaged. The dogs learn to walk on a
treadmill. They learn the commands forward, halt, and hop-up. The dogs tend to LOVE the
treadmill.

Mom says "Yay Baby Girl! Keep up the good work!"

One Word Wednesday

Hungry!

Happy Halloween!

 

Humans are weird! And boy do they like to take pictures. Well I guess they can't help it when they have a puppy as cute as me! Anyways! It's Halloween so we went to the pumpkin patch this weekend.

 

John said I had to walk because I was a big boy. (I think he was just too lazy to carry me, and Mom wanted pictures)

 

First they made me sit in the middle of a bunch of pumpkins and so they could take my cute mug! I know, I know, I'm darling!

 

Then we found this cool rotted out one. I think someone was hungry and ate half of it. I wanted to eat the other half but Mom said no and I had to get my picture taken by it TOO!

 By this point I was TIRED (puppy legs are short) so I convinced John he should carry me a bit. He listens well to puppy talk.

 

But I guess his arms must have gotten tired because they stuck me in the wagon with this pumpkin. He's a pretty good looking pumpkin.....not as cute as me though!

The pumpkin patch was fun.....but let me tell you about the icky gross part of Halloween!

 

They make you wear a silly costume! I mean the little green vest I can rock.....but a hat and tie......

COOOOOOMMME ONNNNNNNN!!!!!!

 Mom tried to make me wear it at work but I his my face so no one could see me!

Glad the silly humans only do this once a year.....right?

Growing and Growing......

 

Hey Guys! Did I tell you I'm growing fast!

(Don't worry I'll always stay cute)

 This was me at 8 weeks when Mom first got me. I weighed 15 pounds and wasn't even as tall as the giant Eeyore when he slouched!

 

At 11 weeks I weighed in at 21 pounds and was taller than my pal Eeyore when he slouched.

 Guess what? Today is my 3 month birthday! I weigh 27 pounds and I am taller than Eeyore even when he sits up straight! I'm HUGE!!!! Mom's getting real tired of carrying me. She says I'm like a sack of potatoes......

How to defeat a Jolly Ball...

 

I LOVE my Jolly Ball! 

But they are sneaky little creature and you have to know how to play with one or it may out smart you!

 

First you sneak up behind it and give it a good sniff. If will never see you coming!

 

Then you grab it! Don't let go it will try to get away!

 

Next you have to shake it as hard as you can. Don't worry about your head, braincells are replaceable (if you have any)

 Now you are free to pick it up and run like crazy all over the backyard....Wooooohooooo that was fun!

And that my friends is how you defeat the Jolly Ball!

Now for the Levi Report!

Levi is in Phase 0!!!!!!
Same phase as last week so she must be doing great! Mom says to say
"Keep up the good work little girl"

Winning over Rembrandt

 

Hi my name is Ocho and I'm looking for friends.... I really really want to be Rembrandt's friend.

Here's the story of how hard I'm trying!

 He started out REALLY not liking me!

 

I thought about becoming a sandwich.... (Rembrandt LOVES food) But I'm not sure that would have solved the problem....

 

I really do miss him. Those three weeks I spent were fun! I might have to come visit him. But for now I need to work on making Rembrandt my friend, he will come around!

 

He's resisting....

 But I think I'm breaking him down..... I'll get there. He will love me. I'm so lovable! Everyone loves me! (except Remmy)
