Happy new year everyone!

Hark! The Hairy Angel Sings

Mom has changed my name to "Hark - the hairy angel" because I have taken such an interest in Christmas Carols. While my mom was arranging music files for her and dad to play at the Christmas service I decided to try out some of the songs. They are just great! I put my seal of approval on the ones I liked best. Mom didn't give me a chance to study them too well and she chased me around the room till I gave them back to her. She and dad laughed when they had to play my favourites because of the gobby tooth marks in them. Yesterday, she was re-sorting the music and I thought it would be fun to check out those I hadn't seen before. So I took the whole pack of carols off the table. Silly mom for placing them back there. They were conveniently in a plastic folder and mom was so mean she just grabbed them away and wouldn't let me try out even one song! She's thinking of letting me join the band. I think I'll be a great vocalist!

Yappy Christmas everyone!

Peace, Love, Happiness to y'all.

Wanna play?

I discovered this cool thing called a frisbee! Wanna play?



Big brother is really good at this game.

Housework is tiring!

I've been helping mom with housework - chasing the mop and scrubbing brush around, sliding in the detergent, splashing water from my bowl to wash the floor and licking the cupboards and tiles clean. Phew! Hectic day! I think I'll just go to sleep here next to my big brother... ZZZ.

Best toy ever

Despite the fact that my mom has bought me loads of toys, the one I like best is an empty water bottle with kibble inside! I love this toy and it keeps me entertained for ages. My Puppy Development Supervisor approves this toy too. Go figure!

Learning to share

This is my (much) older sister, Gypsey. She's 13 years old. She decided that my bed was way more comfy than hers so she was moving in. Luckily, I'm good at sharing.

Frog

Man! It's been so hot! I've decided that lying on the tiles is the coolest thing to do! This is my impression of a frog.

My mom gives me ice blocks with kibble in. She learned this neat trick from Cabana's blog and the puppy walking staff at SAGA. I've decided these are very cool!

Big Brother

This is my "big brother" Gus. He's three years old and he's such a good dog. He's showing me the ropes about how to be a good puppy. He has shown me how to sit and wait for my food. He even sometimes calls Mom when I need to go out to relieve myself. Gus lets me play with his toys and even rolls me his favourite ball. I like to copy him and this makes my mom laugh because it's like Gus has his own "mini-me".

Today I practiced "sitting" and "downing" and "standing". My mom calls these "puppy pushups" - I'm getting pretty good at them. I'm working on "leave it" and "off" commands too, which are very difficult for me, because I'm actually part crocodile, part cougar - although I shouldn't be telling anyone that!

I'm still working on house training, but I'm mostly there and my folks are so proud of me for not disturbing them at night.

Today was really hot so I had ice cubes for the first time today and it was really strange for me, but I think I like them. I'll let you know when I'm sure. I think they're an acquired taste. I had fun playing on the grass after dinner with Mom and Dad and Gus.

Boy, I'm tired now.
TIme for bed...[YAWN!]

Hi. My name is Kengi. Today I turned 9 weeks old. I am a black Labrador puppy and one day I am going to be a Guide-dog!
