Where has the time gone...

Would you like to see some updated glamor shots - enough comments will generate some updated content.

I have been having a very busy summer.

Murphy :)

Fruits and Veggies...

I like the menu here. I get feed three times a day, but in addition to that there are treats for all the things I do right and an occasional snack.

Some of my snacks have been interesting: apple, orange, banana, strawberries, carrots, asparagus, broccoli. I hope they don't think I am a vegan?

Here I am eating a green apple. I little tart but I liked it.

Summer Vacation

Sorry I missed my post yesterday. After the graduation ceremony and the fact I am now on summer break and just couldn't muster the energy to do anything buy sleep and be lazy for a day!

Summer vacation Rocks!

I did manage to raise my head off the floor so I would look cute in this shot, but that was it.

Falling asleep in my Dad's lap...

Too much excitement for one day. I am once again exhausted.

I fell asleep in my Dad's legs tonight.

I hope tomorrow goes okay for everyone - it's 6/6/6 ahhhhh (humans have some pretty stupid superstitions).

Boy do I have my brothers trained.

I don't like being out in the rain (who would). So last night I needed to go out and take care of my "business".

What is a puppy to do?

So I got my brother to provide valet service!

Nice umbrella :)

Rain out - no baseball.

I went to watch my two brothers play baseball tonight. There was a bad storm and it rained very hard. The humans are all so stupid, they don't know enough to get out of the rain.

I ducked underneath a lawn chair for cover. I still got pretty wet.

Now I have a good puppy smell going!

More school today

I am going to be the smartest puppy in the universe, so much time at school. Today I went to my older brothers eight grade picnic. Tomorrow he has graduation.

I am in this picture, unfortunately some other girls are in front of me so you can't see me...

The end of day 14 - two weeks at my new house.

Time is already flying by. You have to enjoy every minute of being a puppy, it just does not last long enough. It's been a great two weeks.

I must admit puppy class wore me out. When I got home, it was time a for a little siesta!

What a life :)

Meeting all the other puppies

There where three great things that happened at puppy class.

1. I got to meet lot's of other dogs and their parents
2. I got to show off my brothers and sisters (and my dad)
3. I got to see my first mom Anne!

Oh yeah there we a forth thing too - LOTS of TREATS!

I am so digging this. Every time I sat, someone gave me a treat. All kinds of people with all kinds of treats. It's like they think we are stupid or something. It is so easy for us dogs to understand what we should be doing, now we just have to get the humans to understand us.

I wish I could go to puppy class all the time. I would probably need to step-up my exercise routine or it might start to show around the mid section.

Check out the great facility and all the other dogs!

Puppy Class - Seeing My First Mom!

Wow - it was like going home. I had my first puppy class tonight. It is being offered at Downtown Dogs by The Canine Coach. I am telling you these ladies really know us dogs. They understand that we respond so much better to positive rewards (namely treats), then being yelled at.

I got to see my old mom :) She is awesome, I was kissing her and sniffing her, I have missed her and it was great to she her again. It's not the best picture because I was so excited I couldn't settle down for the shot.

What happened to my leash...

Ahhhh, my leash is all yucky. It has peppery spicy red stuff on it. What happened? How am I suppose to enjoy playing tug now...

Well, I am taking the family to my first puppy class tonight. I hope we cover the section about not putting yucky stuff on the things I want to chew on.

Two Weeks!

Well, it has been two weeks since moving to this new house. The first two weeks have been great. Very busy and a lot of fun. I sure have meet a lot of new people and seen many new places.

After eating my real breakfast this morning, I laid in the shade of the tree and chewed on the wood chips. It was my brunch. I love to lay around and hang with my pack.

Playing ball - Future Flyball Champion?

I am slowly breaking these guys in with tennis ball. They have a lot to learn. They think they can roll it away and I will bring it back to them. Stupid humans.

The first problem is this tennis ball is purple? Hmmmm. Secondly when I just got done with breakfast I would much rather just lay around and relax. And lastly, if they want to play with me they have got to start behaving better. They don't respond to any of my commands.

I do like to play. I am getting to be very fast. They can't keep up in a foot race.

Saturday morning

I slept in my crate all night without getting up to have the 2 am potty break. I think I was so tired from all the fun we had yesterday.

I walked down to Lake Harriet and got to hang out at the lake. There are all kinds of people and dogs down there. So much to sniff and put in my mouth. I was overwhelmed.

There must be a little confusion because everyone I meet at the lake kept calling me, "YoursoCute", and here I thought my name was "Murphy" (or is it George, or Fritz). As long as no one starts calling me Taffy!

I got up this morning with my Dad around 6:30. We sat on the front step and read the paper and had some coffee.

What a beautiful day :)
