Roll Camera

The other day, SW and TC were playing with a new silver box.

I've told you about SW's silver box which changed to a blue box, but this one was different.  It was much smaller and they put it on me!

Then SW made me RUN and JUMP and GET IT!

We played for a long time... she made a movie of it from the little silver box...

Enjoy!

Get 'Em Goats...!

JOSIE and BETTY are two GOATS.

TC and SW brought them home about a month ago, and I am learning to GET 'EM GOATS!

I have to watch them very carefully, because they like to RUN!

I like to RUN, but I have to learn to BE NICE and get DOWN

when I am around them.  

SW and TC tell me THAT'LL DO when the GOATS are where they want them to be.

 

I know JOSIE is thinking about RUNning...

Wait... maybe JOSIE is thinking she is going to GET 'EM DIXIE...!

I've got to be still...

... and then GET 'EM at just the right time...!

GOATS I'm watching you...

Not too bad for only being 5 1/2 months old, right...?

You Hide, I Go SEEK!

There are a LOT of trails around our HOUSE.

SW likes to go hide on the trails and then I have to SEEK!

She thinks she is so smart, but I can FIND her all the time.

Today, she made it even harder.

She ran out the front, around the SHED, back down the driveway,

over another trail I had never been on and hid in some trees.

TC let me out the door and said, "FIND!"

So I did!  TC thought she went up the hill, but I knew better.

My NOSE said she was somewhere else.

I put it down to the ground and followed...!

I almost gave up, but then I got the smell just right and I started running...

Then there she was!!

She started laughing and clapping and calling me, "GOOD GIRL!!"

So, I knew I had done a GOOD JOB!

I like playing you HIDE and I SEEK!

Twelve Week Puppy's Tale

This is my 12 week old official portrait.

Wow, what a difference from my 8 week portrait...

Still cute, though, don't you think...? 

 At least, that's what everyone says when they see me...!  

Everyone gets excited, then I get excited, then they get more excited,

then I get... well, you get the picture.

At 12 weeks old I can:

Sit on my MAT while TC & SW sit in the kitchen to eat dinner.
I can bark and scratch at the door to GO OUT.

I can SIT, DOWN, LAY, ROLL OVER, SHAKE with either PAW, 

and get UP in the BRT or JEEP.

I can STAY and WAIT for my food or for a TREAT, although it's hard to not

just want to jump up and grab that TREAT when it's sitting just in front of my nose.

But, I WAIT until SW or TC gives me the sign to GET IT.

And GET IT isn't just for treats... it's also for my favorite FOOTBALL or TENNISBALL.

I can't confuse it with GET 'EM, cause that's for the GUINEAS.  Although, I do like to

GET 'EM CATS... even when SW tells me to BE NICE.

I am learning to BEG, but I can't seem to sit right on my back legs yet and balance...

 I know that will come, and meanwhile I get a nice TREAT for trying.

I have to go now...  It's play time..!
