Back To School

We are officially “back to school”! Unlike many volunteers, we return with the teachers and attend Inservices and opening days with them. Mom learns a great deal of information, but I spend my time in a down stay. Here is where I was…

LOL- Mom, and all the teachers, had the comfy cafeteria seats for SIX hours!
Did I mention that there was a great distraction there that I ignored? Its name was Cooper and it was a 15 week old puppy. I showed him how to down stay and be quiet. But that Cooper, well, he wiggled and wriggled. Every now and then he would bark or yip. I would stare at him with distain. His dad would shush him. His dad was not rewarding him for being quiet. I sure wondered why the Dad was paying attention to his naughty behavior…but then I would go back to my pleasant dreams. Finally, the inservice was over and Mom took me home! At least I got to see my friends!

Ace’d It

The mail came yesterday and there was a big manilla envelope addressed to Mom and to me! How exciting!! We had no idea what it could be about but the return address was the American Kennel Club (AKC). We opened it with great ceremony sitting at the kitchen table, sipping iced tea with Dad. Mom even used a letter opener.
Inside was a beautiful piece of paper.

We find out in August if we are the “top dog” and go to Florida in December. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? Stay tuned…but we are very grateful to have Ace’d it!

My Fav School!

We visited my favorite place, Noe Middle School last Saturday.

The staff cares about students so much that they help them on Saturdays. Some clubs meet then, too. What dedication! Mom was doing some statistics work for the grant award, so Dad and I went with her to school because she needed to pick up some information and a few other things.
Being the diva I am, I made sure that I was beautiful and posed for a few photos in front of the trophy cases while Dad photographed me. I thought you might like to see my partial clip that Mom did. (We still have more to go!!)
