I like being a trail dog!
Yes, yes, I do like the trails best! There's lots of choices for trail walking in our area. Paradise Lake Conservation area is just a short car ride away. So is Brightwater trails. I'm still unsure of strangers and other dogs on the trail but I really like the trail...
Any time is great for patio time!
My Mom got this really nice setup that she put on the patio just for me and Sweet Kody. Now, we can go out and play on the patio without getting into trouble digging up the gardens and such. This also gives us a space to work on togetherness. We like to sit on the...
Ohhhh, it’s a kitty cat!!
That kitty cat is MY Sissy-Cat! I am slowly learning about interactions with my fur-family here in my new home. Sissy-Cat is a brave girl and she comes up to see me regularly. I don't understand why she's different than the rabbits I want to chase except she's INSIDE...
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...
