Annie's Happy New Year

[Judi Schuerman]

Hello everyone,
I had a great holiday and New Year's celebration. I received lots of toys and Kongs. My good friend Porche, a German short-hair, gave me a ball Kong that a liver paste is squirted into it. My sister (a creature named Michelle) has taught me to "high five", "shake hands", "down". Michelle is always fun to be with! She leaves for school today, now I have to sleep on my own bed!

My creatures took me to Sun Valley for New Years, they cross-country skied. They said I'm too little to go with them so I stayed in my crate. I got a new royal blue sweater to wear in the cold weather. Our friends celebrated New Years with a special meal, I got my first taste of Prime Rib! Idaho potatoes are great too but I prefer meat.

I've been getting smarter. I finished my second Puppy Kindergarten class. I'm the friendliest and I want to play with all the other dogs. I'm learning to walk on a loose leash. I want to go to all the other clickers being clicked in the class! There was a boxer puppy trying to nip at me, I wasn't even scared! I just want to have fun!

I weigh 29.7 pounds now and received the last of my puppy shots. I don't like them to take my temperature, that devise goes up my bottom!

Happy trails to all my friends!
Annie

Hello little Annie!
It is great to hear from you again!
I am glad that you are doing very well in your "puppy school" and that you are learning so many new things
Keep going Annie! :-):-):-)

Hello Annie, I have seen that you have put that blue sweater to use! Looks great.
tell me...have you managed to get to sleep in your creatures bed yet? Like UNDER the covers? I know we had a discussion about this earlier.

[Judi Schuerman]

Hello Ursula!
I haven't managed to sleep under the covers with my "main" creatures! Yet, my sister Michelle allows me under HER covers! Michelle has a cat too and it sleeps on the bed with us! Michelle lets me on the black couch but my "main" creatures don't allow me to sleep there! I still try though!
Thanks for the encouragement! It is snowing again today. I lost my front teeth yesterday, everyone keeps looking into my mouth! I'm learning to ring a bell! I use both feet to make this goat bell ring.

I must say Annie, you have not done as well with the main-creatures bed and her couch as I would have expected!
Time is running out...as you can tell by your loss of teeth. The older you get, the more difficult it will be to wriggle your way in there...so get moving..NOW!!!!!!!
