Going to Work

Now that I have all my shots I get to go to work with mom. She tells me she is going to start me out slowly and now after my first day I know why!

I have to sit under mom's computer desk area. Not really a problem except she works at a vet. There are dogs and cats coming in and out. All I hear is barking, whining, meowing, and screeching! Some of those animals are very over dramatic, I didn't mind seeing the doctor but I hear them complaining the whole time! Boo hoo! But trying to sit still and not talk to them too or even go see them is really hard work. When mommy is sitting with me I do very well, but she never told me she is up and down like a carousel ride! She is so busy. So I thought I'd get up and down too but she told me I can't do that. So I learned to behave and just lay there like a good girl. She did bring some toys for me that helped keep me busy. After 5 hours of trying really hard to behave (and doing really well at it!) I finally fell asleep. Mom only took me for half day so I got to go home and sleep afterwards. She also said she was really proud of me for not tinkling at work. I was able to hold it till mommy told me to do my business. I am excited to go again!

Snow Day

My mom took me on a long car ride again. We took some friends with us in the car so at least someone sat close to me! We got out of the car and there was some white fluffy cold stuff! It was amazing. I was romping and playing in it. Mom let me get a little silly. I had so much fun in it. I got to jump in it, eat it, and run in it. I wish I had this stuff all the time! Some other dogs got to go with us. Some loved it just like me! There was another golden retriever there, his name is Seifkin. He loved the snow just like me. I got to play with him a little bit. He is around my size too so that was really fun. Here is me in the snow!

Then, after our snow day we went to a restaurant. Mom really pushed me to my limit! I was already tired and now she brought me to this place where there was a lot of hustle and bustle and then food on top of it! Then she also made me lay next to Russel (another puppy in training). Man it was hard work but mom says I did really well. I tried so hard. I was so tired after it all. This is a picture of me at the restaurant, my first outing in public!

So after a long day and a long car ride home, I slept very well in my kennel! I can't wait to visit the snow again though. I think seeing it everyday would be awesome!
