I am getting ahead of myself but I just have to tell you about that funny white stuff Avalon said was coming. Well, it came !! Mom said it was just a little and there will be times it will be a lot more but it was the first time for me !! First, Dad took me out to break and I got my first taste of the white stuff called snow then later we went for a walk and Avalon and I got to play in the snow. It was COLD and wet and you could even eat it even though it really did not have any taste. We played for so long that our feet started to get really cold and my paws got numb. I loved playing in the snow but was actually glad when we came in to warm up. Mom put nice warm towels down for us in the mud room and Avalon and I snuggled till we warmed up. I am sad to say though the snow was gone the next day. Mom said it has to stay below freezing - what ever that means - for the snow to stay. 
Mom says the Holidays can be a very busy time of the year but it has been kind of slow around here. Mom said I am still recovering from my surgery which meant that I got to stay home with Avalon when Mom went and ran errands. We cuddled up in the mud room and talked girl talk along with making our Santa list. Glad Santa can read minds because neither Avalon or I can write. I hope Santa brings me a lot of toys to play with! Mom did some more Christmas decorating and found our Christmas decorations. I think Avalon and I look pretty stunning in them. 
This week though we did have two big adventures. First, Grandma T, Miss M, me and Mom went to a really cool puppy place. It looked like a big puppy play room but we were the only ones there. It is called Innovative Training and the cool trainers were Gary and Kathy Platt. When we arrived I was acting my normal "Wild Child" as I heard them call me, but then all of a sudden some really special treats came out and command training started and I was so focused. Mr. Gary worked with me on commands first, then Mrs. Kathy worked with me then last Miss M. Mom and Grandma T just watched but I could hear them talking that we are going to get to come back and do this again. I guess they are called private lessons but whatever they are called I am really excited - It was FUN ! I even heard something about a puppy camp.

A few days later Mom and I were invited to a Senior Christmas party with Miss M, Miss K and Grandma T. I think it was a friend of Grandma T's. Mom got a late start on getting dressed and was running late when they came to pick us up so Miss M took me out to break and we waited for Mom. It didn't take her long and we were on our way. When we arrived we went up the elevator to find Grandma T's friend. It was cool being up in the air looking down over all of the cool Christmas decorations. I had my Christmas decoration on along with my training vest so lots of nice people stopped and talked to us. Everyone was sooo happy that I left my "Wild Child" at home and did a very good job representing Guide/Service puppies in training. However, it was a close call at the end. I had some big business to do and I tried to let Miss M know but I think they thought I was just stopping to sniff food but I really was trying to tell them I needed to go outside. I did by best and waited and within seconds after we left and were outside I left them a reminder of me. However, Mom picked it up and we took it home. 
After the party we came home and Dad had all of the Christmas lights on and the house looked so pretty. Dad fed us dinner then we all went downstairs to decorate the family Christmas tree. Mom said her two legged kids are the ones to decorate it but this year her four legged girls were going to get to do it. Avalon and I were really excited. Decorating, listening to Christmas music and Dad watching something called basketball on the TV. Basketball sure looks funny compared to football but he still gets just as excited. Last - After our weekend walk today with Dad, Mom, Avalon and me - Miss M and Grandma T surprised me and came over and we went for a walk. Miss M had some treats so I did a little command training with her. Before we came home I had a deposit for them however, they didn't have any of my special deposit bags so Grandma T had to run to her house and get a plastic sack.
Hope you are enjoying the Holidays !!
