Hi all,
sorry I haven't updated in a little while. I meant to, but Mom was too tired late in the evenings to let me blog and she always kept turning the computer off when I was just about to start writing. Anyway, now I'm writing again and I'm going to tell you some stuff I wanted to tell you about last week, but never got around too... thanks Mom!
Last Thursday, Mom, Auntie Julia and I went down town to meet our friend Emily for lunch at this restaurant called The News Room. I don't know myself if it's good, but Mom says it's awesome. Anyway, my favorite part was when we got to take the Lite-rail. Mom loves it because it helps her get to where ever she needs to go, and I love it cause I get to go for a ride! OOOh, I get so excited when I see that thing! My ears go up and I shift on my feet to get a better look at the train that's either pulling in or out of the station. Sometimes, I get corrected by Mom because I pull too hard in harness when we're approaching the platform, but I've learned to be better about stuff like that.
Anyway, I loved riding the train, and when we got off we started walking to where we were going to meet Emily. I love working down town. There are lots of things and people for me to guide Mom around and I like being so focused. As we were walking, a dog who wasn't on a leash came up to us. Mom kept trying to get me to just walk away cause she didn't know the dog, and I tried to walk away, but he kept following us. He was friendly, and just wanted to say hi, but Mom was kind of scared because she didn't know what the dog would do. Finally, a man came over and held the dog so we could walk away.
I was good in the restaurant and I just laid down and rested while Mom and the others ate their lunch. After that, we were walking back to catch the train, and some guy came up and hugged me, right on the corner of a busy intersection. Mom told him that he had to stop petting me and he did. I just ignored him. Mom says I'm aloof most of the time with strangers, but I'm ultra-aloof in harness she says. Auntie Julia said later that the guy was homeless and probably mentally ill. He's homeless... hmm, I hope he finds a good home soon.
I love my house. It has a soft blanky inside that I've had since I was a baby when I lived with Tifany, and it has a door which Mom only closes at night. She says I have a tendency to wander around and so she wants me to stay in one spot. Anyway, my home is warm and comfy, and I hope everyone can have one.
On Friday, we went to training again, and Mom found out her scanner doesn't work. On Tuesday we're going in for more computer training, and we'll find out about the scanner then.

Mom still has to take me to the vet for that kennel cough shot, and though I'm glad she's been too busy and has been putting it off, I know eventually she'll get around to it... damn!
Well, I think I've typed myself out for now, but I loved getting this chance to steal Mom's new computer for a little while. It works great and doesn't get burning hot like her last one.
