Superpower: Purple!
When my Mom came to meet me, I just knew we were gonna get along because she brought a purple harness and leash with her!! I rock the color purple! (Mom does too!) Purple is my superpower color, too! I get to wear a purple people puller every day! Oh, I mean a purple...
It’s ducks from the dock!
Another day at the park. Today, we stopped and watched (ok, I watched while Mom counted) the ducks. It was pretty cool to see them fly-in for a landing on the water! And I didn't even bark! There's so many things to do and see at the park.
It’s my one month anniversary!
It's been tough, but I've made it a month! All the changes I've been through have tested my adaptability and ability to truly trust. But, I'm tough and here it's been a full month in my new home at "Camp Woodinville." I have a whole family of fur-friends and my Mom...
Leave no trace, everyone needs personal space!
We walk routinely and I love it! Every morning, after Mom and Pops drink their energy drink (coffee) we go for a walk together and we go all the way around the block. We get to visit the designated Wilderness Space that's part of the neighborhood. Lots of open green...
That’s not a barkable offense!
When Pops is within the fence, it's not a barkable offense! I am learning that not everything I see is a barkable offense - not everyone needs to know what I know. Sometimes, when I see my Pops appear seemingly out of nowhere, I sound the alert!! Only to find it is...
Superpower: Vacuum
My vacuum cleaner face 🤨 While I have the superpower of cuteness, my Mom and Pops have the superpower of the vacuum. That machine that makes noise and is pushed and pulled around everywhere! I am proud to say that I don't shed much, so it must be Kody's fault...
I am the guard of my backyard.
I have a perfect view of my new backyard and what a yard it is!! I have seen big bunnies, little bunnies, big birds, little birds and sometimes people! I am learning which ones truly require my alert skills. It's a serious job and someone's gotta do it! Sweet Kody...
Mom and me at the park!
We visit the local Cottage Lake Park a lot. It has nice opens spaces, lake views and lots of distractions that are perfect for my training. Mom got a purple treat pouch to match my gear and we walk the park practicing all the things that she calls "manners." Whatever...
I can play toss like a Boss!
I absolutely LOVE to play toss. I can fetch it like a Boss, too! Mom picked up this pink soccer ball on the day she brought me home. I'm so glad she did because then I could show them both what I already knew, how to bring it back! We play this game a lot and I am...
Puppies chew, that’s what we do!
I lost several of my puppy teeth while I was with my Foster Mom. But I have all my adult teeth now. Part of being a puppy is putting everything in my mouth! 🐶 Toys make sure I exercise my new teeth on appropriate things. I like this bone my Sweet Kody shared...
I walked 30 miles, and I was still all smiles!
My first week in my new home, I have walked every day. Several times a day. New sights and sounds, so much to explore! I love the fresh air. I go crazy for the wide open grassy areas. I am working on listening to my Mom and Pops and following Sweet Kody’s lead while...
We walk at the park, and I try not to bark!
Our routine (I love my new routine!) includes walking at the park. There are nice paved walkways, views of the lake and so many things to investigate!! When we see other dogs or people with their kids, I try not to bark. Sweet Kody doesn’t bark so I try to be like...
