WATER!!!!

Today we didn't have to go to work! 

And I got to play in the sprinklers!!!

I love water

 

And then all the sudden it went off!!!

SO SAD!!

 

 So I asked my buddy Ellie what to do.....

 She just said "I'm cute"

 

So I chased her!!!

And all of the sudden the water went back on!!!

 Woohoooo!!

 

I love water!!!

 

Isaac just looked at me like I was dumb....

He's a retriever.....why doesn't he like water????

 

Ellie continued with her looking cuteness....

 

So I picked up a lolli pop and ran!!!

 

 

And the guy played tug with me!!!

 

So tired....time for a nap!!!

Way more fun than work though! :-P

Happy 4th of July everyone!!!

Dear Mom...

Dear Mom,

We need to have a talk.

 

I know you think they are cute....

 

And fat and pudgy.... (By the way why does he get to be fat and you make 

fun of me when I gain a little weight?)

 

But this new puppy thing has got to stop!

(I had just trained the old one!)

 

Maybe I'll make Ellie train it this time!

(Good Plan!)

 

 

 Cookies?

(I might forgive you for a cookie) 

 Meet Emmitt. My fourth trainee through GoodDog! Autism Companions His sponser named him after Emmitt Smith of the Dallas Cowboys (which is getting me a ton of flack in 49er territory) And he's sweet as can be. (Even if the big dogs don't like it)

The Agility Superstar!

Last weekend I got to do my favorite thing (besides eating)

I got to do agility. Mom helped (even though she was really sick and should not have been there)

She told me her birthday was Monday and all she wanted was one qualifying score and maybe some color of ribbon.... I promised I'd at least try not to run out of the ring and get a NT....

 

WELLLL GUESS WHAT!!!! 

I came through in my very first run!!! Booya!!

Second run not quite so steller. I was very tired (see above photo) and Mom felt crappy so we went home...

The next day I sort of forgot my promise.....

 

I ran through the tunnel...

 

And flew over the last jump.....

But the lady outside the gate looked so nice. So I just HAD to go see her....

WHOOPS....NT

 

But I still got kisses and Mom said we could try again! 

 

So I went back to "relax" in my crate and think about my next run.

(For those that don't know me well....

just this feat of relaxing in my crate away from home is amazing!)

So we went back in....I jumped the jumps

 

I did the dogwalk....(does this dogwalk make my butt look big?)

 

 

And I got to the last jump and guess what!!!! I saw the man!!!

But instead of running out to see him I just ran to the corner to see him....

(or maybe he knew where to stand better this time)

 

WE GOT ANOTHER Q!!!!! WHOOOO HOOOO

 

And another blue ribbon!!

AND I got lots of kisses again!

It was a good weekend. And I gave Mom an awesome birthday present!!!

Favorite Time of Year

 

Hey everyone!!! I'm blog crashing!!! 

(Although to be fair I'm more golden than that black dog was and he got to blog!!!)

You know why???

Cause its my favorite time of year!!!

Yep! On Sunday we "sprung forward" and hour

 And I'm kicking up my heels to celebrate!

 More sunlight!

 

And more time with the people!  

 

 Time to eat some of that Spring grass!!!!

-Bunny

Missing! (or not)

Hey guys! I just wanted to let you know something weird is going on!

 

All of the sudden all the toys are back! Even the fluffy ones that used to explode somehow! 

My ball never goes missing....

 

And I can lay on a dog bed without something "falling" on me!

 I can nap undisturbed in the sun.....

 

And don't get knocked over while hoping for cookies!

 

It's almost as if something is missing!

 But I'm not missing it!!!! Time for a nap!!!!

-Pierre

Joy!

 

Hey everyone! Pantone here. I thought you needed an update on my life. There's been lots of excitement since I last talked to you.....

 

 

First a sad thing happened. My first family decided that having a service dog wasn't the right choice for them.  They gave me back to Good Dog! to find a new forever family. I was sad but I understood. They didn't blame me, it just wasn't the right decision for them.

 

 So I went to Las Vegas! I got to hang out with my a different trainer for a while and got to hone my service dog skills! I went on lots of adventures in Vegas!

 It was super fun!!!

Then in December I got the best news!

A new forever family had been found for me. I packed my bags and got ready to move to Kentucky!

(I hear there is this thing call snow there, sounds like fun!!!)

 

 They named me Joy after the character in Inside Out. I think that's just perfect based on my personality!!!

 So I flew to Kentucky and had my very own team training with my new Mom... Look how good I am....And then I finally got to graduate again....AND THEN.....

I got to go on my first walk with my new little girl!

 I play a lot with my new family. Even on the trampoline with my new family....

 And I get lots of hugs!!!!

 Life is good! I love it. This is what I was meant to do. And I've never been happier. 

Hence the name "Joy".

Time for a Nap!

Joy
