Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday

I got a package in the mail on Friday.

It was a new harness. Mom has bought me this EzyDog harness since I was a puppy. This is my 3rd one. Mom likes it because it doesn't interfere with the big bone in my chest like some harnessess. It comes with a nice chest plate & a seatbelt attachment. It also has reflectors so I can be seen at night.

Here I am sporting my new harness. Mom got brown because she thought it would blend in with my fur & not be so noticeable.

On Saturday, mom & I went to Roseview to visit the residents. I received my name tag.

Here I am sporting my new name tag. Brutus says hello.

We also went to my obedience class. We missed last week because of my injury. We learnt how to go shopping & sit in a cafe in Paris. It was fun. Mom had to fill a shopping bag with stuff from different grocers. At every site I had to either do a sit stay or down stay while mom picked out groceries & paid for them. We also had to down stay while mom had coffee at an outdoor cafe. Mom also learnt some great stretches for dog backs that I should do before I go for a walk or to the dog park.

On Sunday we spent the whole day doing yard work. Mom raked while I played nicely in the back yard. This is all the bags she raked.

Mom still has to rake at least one more time after this tree drops its leaves.

Today marks the 2 week anniversay of my back injury. The vet said I could slowly start getting back to normal if I didn't show any signs of lameness. Mom thinks I'm ok. She let me run a bit in the yard. How great it feels to run again.

I found this stick while running. I had to stop & chew for awhile.

This came for me in the mail today. It says its time for my annual shots. Ouch.
