Christmas Morning

I wanted to be sure I would get something for Christmas, so I took this bowl around to each person. It turns out I got a bone without asking!

Aunt Becky made this Christmas bandana
After everything was opened I was pretty tired.

Here is Annie enjoying her sterilized and stuffed bone.

My brother Chris and I went outside after breakfast.

Can you see me?

I am camoflauged.

Annie still chewing... she eats twice as slowly as I do.

We had lots of fun at Grandma's house.

Marley & Me to raise money for my college

Everyone knows college is expensive, at least that's what my foster parents say and they should know with three kids, Mom, and one dog (Cheetah) all going to different Universities. We puppies help out with fundraising all we can and our future parents are not stuck with debt. Our education is paid by the time we graduate.

My big sister Elizabeth was home on break and helping too. She is going to Africa in a week.Cisco is a demo dog who does really cool stuff with field rep Ellen. Jackie was there too and Andrea and Aunt Becky with Karson...

I don't mind my job and I am well paid.

Lots of people were learning about PAWS and helping with our fundraiser.

I have been sweet talking strangers and it works pretty well. Someone gave me money, but my sister took it and gave it to Kevin. It tasted different for sure.

Later our parents got food and Karson and I went under the table.

As you can see I was tired by then and the floor was comfy.

Today I went to see the movie Marley & Me. He sure did know how to have fun!

SNOW DAY!!!!

So far we have around 6 or 8 inches of Snow and Annie and I are having a blast!

Laying around the house

Mom is studying and I am chewing on a kong with peanut butter and other delicious stuff in it. Mom shoved a nylabone in there too to make it more fun to chew. YUMMMIE!

SEMI Class Christmas Party!!!

This was me at my class Christmas party. Mom said one of the best parts was seeing the movies. We saw hearing dog Winston's training DVD and a video of the dogs in the dorms at HQ. We both liked seeing our friends too. We didn't take too many pictures though.
There are three new babies in our class that are from two different litters. They are half lab half goldens, or 50/50's. I so wanted to romp with them. Two working SD's were there, Izod and Dazzle... awesome. Lots of my friends were there. I like to party!

This was a little B puppy... too cute!

More of the Mall Pictures

We met some little people with balloons that wanted to shake our paws... that is the people, not the balloons wanted to shake paws.

One of these days I just want to run top speed up and down the whole mall.
The balloons didn't really bother me. I just wanted to reach the little people.

These pictures are from the same mall trip Friday, but Tresa's mom took them for my mom.

My Foster Sister Cheetah whom I never met...

Way before my parents got me to foster, my predecessor, Cheetah went to HQ to go to college at University of Paws (UoP). This is her latest update:

Cheetah: We have identified some unneeded tasks after some discussion which jumps her time to completion up to January. Nice little girl, I took her to a classroom to take part in a thesis study about animals in the classroom. Cheetah was very polite, I ended up letting her walk around and then one boy came and laid down with her to do his writing assignment and he showed her his new eraser and what he had written. The only time I had to manage her was when she was in the middle of all of the children listening to a book being read. She must have felt safe with the whole pack around her and decided she was off duty and had time to groom herself.

This picture was taken last MARCH, but it seemed to fit with Cheetah's update -

When I am bigger I am planning to attend the same college. They have some WAY COOL majors!

Great Lakes Crossing Mall Outing

My class went to my mall and the best part was meeting new people.

I am getting "paw" down pretty well and understand that we shake hands when greeting people.

My friend Rumor is an easy dog to love.

Joplin really has this "heel" thing down. Mom says we need to work harder on it.

Tresa can draw a crowd. She is adorable!

We had to work hard at the mall, but it was interesting. There were sights, smells, and lots of distraction.

The alligator outside of Rainforest Cafe made noises and opened and closed his mouth.

Tresa did an under, but the rest of us didn't fit under the little benches.

We went into the arcade, but it was dark and we didn't get any good pictures. It was loud and lights were flashing and it smelled like cigarette smoke.

This is Rumor again giving very good eye contact.

Fascinating!

Tresa was pretty tired by the time we went to Bass Pro.

It was fun trying to get five puppies to cooperate for a picture with Santa.

This will have to be my Christmas picture.

Merry Christmas everybody!
