| Today Amy & I along with her dad went to our first chapter social. Amy told me that as long as I minded my manners, I wouldn't have to put on my extra jewelry, but I was just too excited and wanted to greet every human and dog that passed by me, so my extra jewelry went on while Amy finished lunch. After lunch was playtime then game time. During game time we did a retrieval race. We were to sit at the fence until our partners called us to them, then we had to pick up an item and deliver it, using the lap command. I did pretty well considering this race was done off leash, but I definitely wasn't the fastest one among the group, because I was wanting to mingle and became easily distracted. All I wanted to do was play, so before we left, they let me and my friend Blair play one on one. It was so fun, and Amy was happy because she didn't have to run me when we got home. I was all run out! ;) In my opinion, this event was a success and I hope they do it again. |

This morning, Amy and I were lucky enough to get to spend some time with my brother Pharaoh's puppy raiser and her friend. Amy thoroughly enjoyed the visit and loved hearing about how similar Pharaoh and I appear to be. I just loved all the attention and affection I was getting. Amy always talks about how social I am, so I couldn't disappoint them and be shy - LOL, I don't think I know the meaning of the word! Pharaoh is also very social and we both love being pet, so we will try our hardest to get our bodies as close to you as we can. For us close means sitting on your feet, coming over uninvited to sit on your lap when you are sitting on the floor, or trying to inch our way onto the furniture, hoping that no one notices! And you better not even think about ceasing to pet us, or we will nudge our noses under your hand or inch our bodies even closer to you, as if to say "I haven't given you permission to stop." We are alike in other ways too. When we are really happy, we both do the "Baumann Wiggle!" Also, neither of us like to play fetch, nor do we like swimming or even being in water. We both like to run as our preferred method of exercise and we love ice cubes, though Pharaoh only likes to chew them, and doesn't devour them like I do. When we sit, we sit square on our bottoms (though I sit more like a puppy) and we tend to hold our ears back, just like I'm doing in the picture. Gina and Alexis does any of this sound familiar to you? For those of you who don't know, Pharaoh was the third puppy in our litter. He was released from the program due to a heart arrhythmia. However, I am very happy to report that he is doing quite well and can run and play with the best of them, as long as he remembers to take his medication. Kelsey, I want to thank you again for our visit, for my gator (I think I may like mine just as much as Pharaoh likes his) and the book for Amy too. We cannot wait to come to the South East and do it again someday when the whole family can be there! |
