found a frog
|
Life has certainly been interesting lately...and cold! It is finally warming up but that just means it's raining! Being a water dog it really isn't a problem. Ya know that pond in or new backyard? Well I've been walking around the rocks and occasionally getting a drink but guess what I found...FROGS. Don't get too excited because they're just plastic ones. Some are big and some are smaller...Mom takes them away because I chew off their heads. There's this duck in the water too but I can't get it out yet...that requires going in the water.

| getting Monty off the bed |
Ya know Monty has issues about a lot of things and one of them is jumping off the bed. He loves to get up there with me but then he wines and cries because he's afraid to jump off. I think it's because the floor is kind of slippery. I do talk and sing to him trying to get him off. Now we have a bigger issue with the bed, at first I couldn't figure it out because Mom and Dad were moving beds around and one even left the house with a stranger. Then there was this thing they called a bed frame in the big bedroom but there was no bed on it...very confusing and puzzling. I had to keep going in to check on it, but still no bed. Finally these men came with the mattress and boy is it BIG, I think the whole family can sleep in it. The new bed is kind of high but, having springs in my back legs sure helps...guess who has trouble getting off. There's this cool place in the dining room where, if I get on my hind legs, I can supervise the cooking but not get in the way. I call it the Portie Portal.
Started Tracking Class on January 19th. Mom and I got up really early and drove up to Bow...it took about an hour and a half. The weather was cold and foggy. There are about 5 other dogs in the class but no other PWDs. All of us dogs did really well...at least our teacher said so. I would have done better if Mom hadn't been standing on my last article...took her awhile to figure out what she was doing. She had taken her camera with us but when she went to take pictures, it said that the battery was exhausted. That's pretty funny! Then last Saturday we had our second class...I tracked right through water...dead on! Wooowe! Today we went back to our old house and Dad gave me 3 tracks, two with corners. He ran out of flags for the last one so Mom didn't know where we were supposed to go. I DID!!! Even ran the last little bit because I knew we were close.

| a water hog rug |
You know with this new house we keep getting new stuff. I told you about the beds, but today a package arrived with a "water hog rug" in it. Guess who that's for! Mom got tired of all the towels and blankets so she hopes this works. I think I told you that sometimes we go in through the garage and use that paw cleaner which really does clean the paws. I'll let you know how it works.
The other thing we did today was stop at the Vet's so I could get weighed...Dad is calling me "Chunky". Well...39.9# guess that's pretty close to 40#.
