Squishy McSquisherton!

I'm not sure it's been mentioned how much I love to be touching my people!  I really just love to be next to, on, between, behind or hovering over my people.  I also don't mind my people doing the same to me!  Below are a few examples!

The Mom says my squishing in between her legs or in between her and the kitchen cabinets etc. is one of her most favorite things about me.   She love, love, loves having me close to her (unless I'm getting in her way when she's trying to sweep & mop or she's trying to use the restroom).

Just had to share during this Holiday Season - Keep your family and friends close and always squish next to them!

Merry Christmas from our house to yours!  Peace, Love and Laughter!

CRAY, CRAY, CRAZINESS!

Whew!  Have things been wild!  My last post I mentioned I stayed at a puppy sitter, they had the career change named Dan.  Well, The Mom and family were remodeling a home and needed to move by the end of November so I had to go stay with another puppy sitter.

This time there was a career change named Mel and a horse named Rocket.  The horse was interesting!  Big, really BIG!  I was able to to meet Rocket and we came nose to nose sniffing each other.  My sitter said I behaved very well and had great manners when I met Rocket. 
The sitter told on me when she gave me back to The Mom.  So I guess I have to come clean.  I over reacted when I saw Mel...I got hyper.  I did settle a little when it came to Mel but I do tend to get excited around other dogs.  They let me chew on Mel's bones and let me tell you, Mel would just stare at me, hard.  I mean if looks could kill.
The puppy sitter was great and I enjoyed my week long stay.  We didn't go many places but I did get to go to the Sandy River and walk around!
Finally The Mom came and got me!  I was a little shocked when we didn't go back to our "Normal" home.  We went to a new place.  I'd been there before but the last time I was there it didn't have any flooring, furniture and there were cabinets everywhere.  The new place is nice, I like it!  It actually has a fireplace and if you remember from a post, several months back, I have a fear of smoke.  However, I haven't even flinched when the fire gets started or stays going.  The puppy sitter also had a fireplace.  I actually like to lay by the fire and gaze at it.  It's so relaxing, I sit there and stare at the flames and daydream about what my life will be like as a Guide Dog.



You also might remember that The Grandma had surgery on her hand.  So I've been with my "other" family since the 6th of November.  Because of that I go to The Boys wrestling tournaments.  I've been to a couple now but the last one wasn't as busy so I was able to go Mat side and watch The Boy do his thang! 
Yesterday was my 1 year Birthday!  The Mom and The Girl got me a Beef flavored bone!  OMG, I'm in HEAVEN!  LIKE WHERE HAS THIS BEEN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!
Last night was SO CRAY, CRAY I was exhausted by the time we got home.  The Mom had to take The Grandma to a couple appointments yesterday.  The Grandma had to get the pins taken out of her hand.  Poor Grandma, the pins were so long and it sounded like it hurt her to get em' out.  After that appointment we had to take her to physical therapy.  There they made her a new brace and showed her exercises she needs to do to get her hand working again.  The Grandma was very sad to learn she can't take me back until the end of January.  I miss her and the goof ball, Shaker.


After the appointment and dropping The Grandma off at home, The Girl reminded The Mom that her choir performance was the next day!  The Girl needed a dress to wear so off to The Mall we went!  Ugh...
We went to Sears, H&M, GAP, Macy's & The Food Court.  IT WAS AWFUL!  BORING, ANNOYING, #WORSTFIRSTBIRTHDAYEVER!  Why would they make me suffer through the torture of shopping with WOMEN!
 The Mom and I were bored waiting so she starting taking Selfies!
 Finally!  SHE FOUND A DRESS!  #FOUNDTHEONE, #IMSOOVERTHIS, #CANWEGOHOMENOW, #SOGLADIMABOY,

The month of November and start of December have been Cray, Cray!  I don't think things are going to slow down anytime soon but I'm lovin' life and things are looking good!  I've got stuff to work on, sooo...

Wish me luck!
