I’m a Clever Canine!

I’m a Clever Canine!

It was a big week last week…it was my final class and then on the weekend were the Olympics with all the dogs from all the classes (40+ dogs in a large chilly room). We were divided into 4 teams…sadly there were only 2 other dogs from my “pack” on our team.

There were a bunch of different relays…and then the humans did a dog knowledge/trivia test…and then the individual events (sit stays & down stays).

we're #1! we're #1!

We came in FIRST PLACE!! Yay!! This is my snazzy purple ribbon…I was a proud (and clever) puppy!

There was a little frost on the ground the other morning at the beginning of class…but today was my first REAL snow! It’s kind of crunchy, and definitely cold, but it’s so much fun to lick…

mmmph...what?

 

it's everywhere...fun!

 

yummy

 
Then a bit later, after I’d had my fill of frolicking in the backyard Mom made me get into my winter coat (gah!!) and we went for a walk. It was pretty cold our there, and Mom wasn’t walking as fast as she normally does, then she put me in a sit…”Say Cheese” (what’s cheese??)
 
 
I like this snow stuff (although Mom & Dad don’t seem very fond of it)…THE WORLD IS MY SNOWCONE!!
Lick!

We had a dinner party last night for my parent’s 46th wedding anniversary – it also coincided with my Dad’s retirement – so there was much to celebrate. I swear my Dad’s kind of like the Lulu-whisperer – she will sit in his lap calmly for hours – it’s quite amazing.

Lulu’s first dinner party

Even though all the attention (or most anyway) should’ve been elsewhere, I’ve come to realize that no matter what I cook or who I invite, the pug princess is going to take center stage at all of our gatherings. This was her third or fourth dinner party, but her first indoors…Lulu really makes me wish we lived in a milder climate…I’m a little nervous about the imminent months of snow….unless she likes the snow?!? Here’s hoping…

I have yet to learn that whether I have one glass of wine, or eight, I still need to haul my ass out of bed REALLY early to let little miss lulu out…argh…my head…who’s for instituting nap time? Soooo sleepy!!

you want me to go where???

Miss Lulu was not a fan of our slippery hardwood stairs for QUITE some time. She mastered going up for a few weeks before she could go down again. In her efforts to want to follow us everywhere, if we went downstairs into the basement, she’d run up the stairs and then be confused why we weren’t there. Apparently the stairs had some interesting Escher-like connectivity in her head…
