What a Weekend

Hi again everyone.
Mom and I had quite a weekend. I wanted to write about it before now, but Mom wasn't feeling well yesterday and she had to fix something wrong with her screen-reader too so I couldn't until now. Hmm, that seems to happen a lot. Anyhoo, Mom and I went out to lunch with her friends on Saturday and I was a good boy when we were out. I was happy to get out because we had been cooped up for most of the week because it was cold. Saturday was warm and so we got to go outside for longer than five minutes.
After we'd gone to lunch we went to Mom's friend's house and played with the kittens that were there. I didn't like it when one of the kittens would play with my tail, but I was good and didn't bark. I did bark when the little pug dog who lives there kept jumping at me and running under my legs. Auntie Julia wanted to know why I kept barking at him and Mom said I was just telling him that I didn't like what he was doing and that I thought it wasn't polite. Mom was right, that's what I was telling him.
After that, Mom thought I could use a break from being in harness and so she took me home, fed me my dinner and then left to go have dinner while I rested. I got up on the couch like I usually do and slept with the TV on. Mom and Auntie Julia came home a few hours later and after Mom took me out for one final bathroom break, we went to bed.
The next day, Mom, Auntie Julia and their friend Jackie and I all went to a place called the Global Market in Up Town. It was fun, and I had fun sniffing all of the smells, but Mom didn't like that I was getting so distracted and not working. She pulled out my Gentle Leader and put it on me. I got sad that she'd done that, but after I'd calmed down, she took it off.
I had a great time guiding Mom around the market, but she and Auntie Julia both got upset when people tried to pet me without Mom knowing. I just ignored them like I always do and Mom was proud of me. After the long day at the market, we went home. Mom fed me and I rested while Mom and Auntie Julia went out again. It was a busy weekend and I loved every minute of it.
I can't wait until it gets warmer though, cause Mom and I are tired of the cold.

Hi everybody,
I'm sorry I haven't updated, but thinkgs have been really busy around here. Mom and I have still been going to PT a couple of times a week and I like that. Mom is still looking for a job, and she hopes that a job she interviewed for will work out.
The really interesting thing happened last week though. I meant to write about it before now, but I didn't have the time and Mom wouldn't let me near the computer either. Anyway, Mom's friend Dena went on vacation to Mexico and so she couldn't take her guide dog, Kaylor, with her. Mom and Auntie Julia said that they would take care of him while Dena and her family were gon so last week Kaylor came over.
We had a great time playing, and we got to play tug a lot with this great toy Kaylor had. The toy squeaked and I could even chew on it and pull on it. Mom says it's an awesome toy because it is almost indestructable. i loved playing with it, especially with Kaylor.
We went over to Mom's parents' house and Marlin, Kaylor and I all played together. I liked it most of the time, but sometimes, Kaylor and Marlin would pick on me and I would yelp so they would stop biting my ears. Mom made them stop playing so rough with me, and so they just wrestled by themselves. It was nice having another dog around for a week, and i hope we can do it again another time.
It is so cold outside, and Mom wants it to be spring. I want it to be spring too, so I can lie outside in the sun on the front steps. Mom promised me a raw meaty bone when it gets warmer outside, and I can hardly wait. Last night, Mom gave me a chicken neck her dad had saved from the roast chicken they'd eaten and I loved it. Mom gave it to me and I ate it in about 9 seconds, mmmmm I love chicken necks!
Last weekend, Mom got very sick with a sore throat. On Friday, she went to the doctor, and they said she had something called Strep Throat. I don't know what that means, but she was sick all weekend and just wanted to rest a lot. I was nice and snuggled with her. I love snuggling with Mom, and I know she loves to snuggle with me when she's sick. I think she's feeling better today though, cause she got up and did her laundry this morning.
Well, I think that's all I've got to say for now. I'm glad Mom finally let me update this blog, and so now my tens of fans can read it.
bye for now, but I'll be back soon,
woof woof!
