Ran a mile

Today Mom got up early and I thought she was going to the gym but instead she put on her hat and gloves and grabbed my leash. She said we were going for a jog. There is a nice path by our house where Hunter walks me sometimes, it goes up the hill for about 1/2 a mile and then we come back down. This morning mom and I took that trail but she let me run next to her. She doesn't run very fast, she said something about hills and her joints. I know what she means but it is so nice to be outside. I had my leash on but she didn't really hold it or pull on me I just listened her her footsteps and we headed up the hill. It was kinda slow going on the way up but we picked up the pace on the way back down. Mom said the view it beautiful and you can see the whole city at that time of morning but I couldn't tell you anything but it sure did smell good!

After we got back home I needed a drink of water and a little rest. I just laid down on Skylar's bean bag chair (she doesn't mind sharing and Mom said it is ok since I must be a fan of Hannah Montana) and took a nap. Mom went back out and ran for another 20 minutes, she said 12 minutes isn't much of a run for her and she needs to go more than a mile but I need to work up to longer runs. When she got back her and dad looked me over and decided I wasn't limping and didn't look too tired. I felt pretty good and figured that I could get in an extra long nap after breakfast.

Dad kept me company on and off for the rest of the day until Hunter came home from school and then I got to go play outside with him. My hip hurts a bit tonight but nothing serious.

1 mile down, more to go!!

Playing Ball

Here's a video of me playing ball in my living room!!

My favorite new toy!!

Next to my pig this is my favorite new toy. It is keeping me very busy and keeping my teeth clean, which mom says makes my breath smell better.

Napping and my new pig

I got this awesome new pig that Skylar picked out for me. It is super tough and I haven't been able to destroy it....yet. Normally, I can tear a toy up in a couple days. I got a new chicken, too! I really like toys and balls and clay. Did I mention that I have eaten all of Hunter's clay. He tries to hide it from me but I can find it anywhere. Those plastic sandwich bags are no match for me. Mom keeps saying that it isn't good for me, but it tastes so good.

I got to go to Daycare today so I played with some Kongs and some fun stuffed toys there. Well, you know what Daycare means.... Nap time!!

My first run

I made it almost a half mile on and off lead today and was able to run. We started out with a nice easy 1/2 mile walk up the hill and then did a slow job back down. I kept up for the most part using all four legs. It was fun. Mom, dad, Hunter and I enjoyed the cool weather and the nice, new path by our house.

The run was a blast but I got home and drank about a gallon of water and then took a nice long nap for the rest of the afternoon. Mom and dad said I am doing much better and they can see the muscle growing in my leg. I am not sure what that means but it is easier to walk and I am getting alot better at running. Tonight I get a special treat because Hunter has a friend over and they are sleeping in the livingroom with me!!

Learning to sing

Today at daycare I learned how sing. We all sang and barked it was a party. I got to try it out again while mom went inside to Hunter from wresting practice. She went inside and I climbed up front and tried to drive. Mom said they won't give me a license because I am blind but I only run into a couple things.

Carpet or grass

Today my mom is working on trying to remind me that I am supposed to poop outside. This morning she got up early and gave the carpet a bath. It smell yucky and was wet even when we left for daycare. Mommy said if I keep pooping on the carpet that I am going to be spending some extra time outside.
I like spending time outside but she and Dad get really loud when I poop in the house. She said that I need to learn to bark to let them know I want to go outside. Mom said that she going to get some new treats to help teach me this barking thing.

I know how to bark but I am not telling her that if it means more treats.
