Ukon's harness

Here is a preview of what's to come. I tried on a working dog harness. I think it looks good on me. I am leaving Thursday for another raiser home, but it's only another month until I am a college girl.

My friends in the H, J, and K litters are going up this month, so I will know a lot of the other students. They can teach me the ropes and introduce me to the guy who rides the Harley. LOL

AWANA

My mama is so proud of me. I can do a sit stay and focus on Mom when kids are running, screaming, and even rolling tires around me. I love those AWANA kids.

I leave Thursday... April 2nd to go to my new raiser. Mom says I'm going to learn physics. You knew I was smart, but I bet you didn't know I was that smart!

Another picture from Coney

My friend Tresa's mom got a picture of the two of us.

I wish they would have taken capes and leashes off and let us run and run and wrestle. We could really have a blast!

Friends welcome spring

We spent time with friends this afternoon at Coney and had a great time.

It's kind of sad though because my friend Kingsley leaves for college next week and Karson is going somewhere around the same time. I am leaving too in about five weeks.
Aunt Jane held Nigel and Friday while Ukon was napping next to her.

Macy is as wonderful as she is beautiful...

Friday got passed around a lot.

Here's Kingsley. He is ready to head off to school, but his family and friends will miss him.

Irish Princesses

Mom says I have some Irish blood. She does too. But I guess everyone is a little Irish on St.Patrick's Day. Even my sister Annie.

May the Road Rise up to meet you
May the wind always be at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face...

And the rain fall soft upon your fields,

And until we meet again...

May God hold you in the palm of His hand. (Irish blessing)

Top o' the mornin' to you...

Annie and I hope you have Irish stew, shepherd's pie, and corned beef with cabbage...

OK, really we wish we got some of that stuff, but we do wish you a

VERY HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY !

Friday the 13th

My little buddy Friday came over and made my Friday the 13th fun. Last month was fun too - I was with my brother on the 13th. Humans have some weird ideas.

Friday and I wrestled so much we started wrestling lying down to conserve energy.

This picture is not turned on the computer, but blogger seems to like it this way. You'll just have to tilt your head to the right to see how cute we are.

Today I am off on an adventure with Andrea!

Both kinds of Fridays are FUN!

The weather was warm and we played all day!

Friday came over so I could wear him out for our presentation at the elementary school. We were promoting PAWS to READ which raises disability awareness, funds for my college, and encourages kids to read - a win/ win situation!

Suzanne was there with Friday's sister Frisco... she was very entertaining while Suzanne talked. Chris and I were up next, and then Joe and Adam. Adam can pick up something as small as a dime for Joe, and he picks up water bottles and helps with laundry. He can leave a chocolate bar lying in front of his nose and never act like he even wants it. Friday mostly slept (I did a good job for Andrea) and then he let the kids pet him while he did a controlled greeting sit.
We came home and played in my yard some.

Friday is irresistably cute!

I turn 11 months old tomorrow!

I think Annie kinda likes Friday, but she will never admit it.

Later we went to Cooks and met cows. I can't believe I was afraid of them when I was little. They smell wonderful! Friday was a little afraid at first, then wanted to play with them.

Our mom's said we needed to go home and get a bath. What a waste of all that gooooood fragrance!

Here is a video of the three of us with the cows... enjoy!

Back Home

I got home Saturday during a snowstorm... Felix and I would have had a blast playing in all that snow. Sunday afternoon Friday came over and played and then we went to Subway.

Yeah little guy, I'll show you the ropes.

Pictures from my Vacation

When I visited my half-brother Felix his mom took some pictures of me. I got to do a presentation at Spencer's school and Felix and I played and played. Felix is a nice brother.

Lightning stops home briefly

If you look close you can see Friday in the background. Mom hasn't gotten a lot of pix since I got home because I've been busy and so has she. I came home Monday and Tuesday we met Friday. He visited us Wednesday and Andrea asked me to wear him out. I happily obliged. Tomorrow I am off to visit my half-brother, Felix. Mom says all this visiting will build my confidence. I am just having fun! The best thing this time is that my half brother will be there to play with!

I was trying to explain to Mom that she should put the camera down and just give me the treat.

Halo signing off

This is Halo's last day to fill in for Lightning. Here she is with Annie.

Everytime Halo is fed she poses as she makes eye contact so I had to get a picture before releasing her to eat.

Halo is going to make someone a great service dog someday. She will be going to college on the first Monday is April.

Halo enjoying the warmer weather

It wasn't as cold today, so I went out front while Lightning's dad cleared the driveway.

I totally love snow. Brenda and Andrea were laughing at me when instead of going break in the snowbank at the store I started to tunnel in. :-D

Halo's Friday

We hung out in the morning and then I went to work with Lightning's mom for the afternoon. She brought in the crate, but I was laying so nicely she let me stay out for the most part.

"Work" is pretty boring. I did a lot of sleeping.

All of the girls wore red today for women's heart health.

When we got home from work I rested for a while in the snow.

Then... we picked up Chris and went shopping. It was hard in the pet store because there was a leader dog in the store. Then there were several pets and we walked down the rawhide and bones aisle. Thankfully Chris had lots of treats to help me out. Lightning's mom said I did a good job and she was proud of me. I played with Annie a little, but after supper I took a nap.
