Biscuit's Notes: Will you check out how BIG I am?! I don't even fit on that little pillow anymore, but I still love it. It is MY spot. I am a busy guy. I have plans almost every day and I get to go to the best places. I find meetings boring, but I can sit through them (unless I REALLY need to go and then I make a fuss :-P) I do like to go to the store and if I look at Susan instead of following my nose I get lots of treats. I like treats. Check me out playing the "leave it" game, I get to eat those treats when Susan says "free!" I like that game but it seems to be getting longer and longer the more we play. I also like to go places like Pittsburgh because everyone LOVES me! I am the best dog around. I even went to a class with other dogs and I was the best!
Lia's Notes: I am here too you know. Anything that puppy can do, I can do better. I am not eating the treats either in the "leave it" game and I know I am better at it because I can get to the treats faster. He really is not a bad dog to have around but I do not like that he gets to leave the house and I am stuck at home.
Susan's Notes: I think he is doing pretty well.....but I am not sure because I am not sure what to compare him to. We went to our first "puppy class" and I really do think he was the best in the room (though I have to admit all we learned was sit and look at me, I THINK he should have these down by now!), but then I fill out his information for PAWS and I worry that he barks when he is scared (and he is scared of the dark, fog, certain dogs, people with brooms, and things that flap in the night), he does not like his nails trimmed, is my constant shadow....except when he is not and most of all he has a personality. He is VERY smart but he is also stubborn. If he does not want to do something he sometimes will chose not to do it. However, I am smarter and this is not often an issue because I won't let it be. Does he chase things? No, but maybe I am not giving him a chance to chase things? Does he get along with cats? No idea! Does he have free run of the house? Yes...is this wrong? I learned that I need to learn more about the rules for PAWS Dogs.
However, he is great when we go to the store, or out to a restaurant and I was really proud of him yesterday. Saturdays are our BUSY days and we started at Eat N Park where he was great and then traveled to Pittsburgh for a long fundraising walk. He was pretty good (I won't say he did not have a few moments that need improvement, but overall good) and proved to be a special treat for a really special little girl (pictured above). Then we ran to the mall where other than being to tired to move was well behaved. He went on to do well at a restaurant and then grocery shopping and back home. He is doing so well I am going to take him to the salon...for MY appointment this week and hope he does equally well.
I think we are ready to start working on the hard stuff. I need to learn, what is that and how?
