Christmas time

It's a little sad with out my Grandma for Christmas. We still had a nice visit with Grandpa, Owen, Aunt Liz, Erich and Chopper. Chopper is a grumpy old man.I like him.

He is not as pleased with me. Flora and I got mini Me's. Flora doesn't like to share. She is already taller than me and only 8 months.

A Tree Party

Every year there is a fund raiser for the Children's Hospital where I work. It is a whole ballroom full of trees. I have to go and work the booth at tell the people about dog therapy. I have time to check out a few of my favorites too. My very favorite was a wreath made of milk bones.

I followed my nose right to it.

Mom wouldn't let me taste it. Darn! As usual I had to stop to pose. Everyone told me how pretty and well behaved I am. I'm working people! that's my job.

Halloween

Mom always dresses me up. ALL YEAR LONG. today I wore my costume for my kids at Childrens Hospital. It was a party for kids with spinal problems. We can't take pictures of the kids, so here I am. BZZZ.

I am #4

It is time for my birthday. Can you believe I am already 4? Seems yesterday I was training to be a service dog. Now I am an assistant trainer for other dogs in training. And I'm a big sister which is a big job in itself. I still have my job being a therapy dog at St John & Children's Hospital.

Today it's just about having fun.

First I got to go the McDonald's drive thru for a special birthday cone.

I decided to share some with my sissy.

Then special Three Dog Bakery Cake.

Saying Grace before we eat. Flora doesn't know how to wait. It's not HER birthday. Last, I had a pool party at Olives house. We can run real fast there.

Whoo am I tired! I had a great day.

Owen and Me

Grandma and Owen are staying with us for a little while. Grandma was feeling kind of sick. She is a little better now. Owen and I are playing everyday.

We run chase and share chew toys. He is my best buddy. I don't really miss Felix with Owen around. We even both sleep on the twin bed with Grandma. It is very cozy that way.

Miss Paris

I got a little visitor after Felix left for school.

Her name is Paris and she is going to go to school to be a hearing dog. Right now she is still learning the basics. She loves all the big dog toys. She runs VERY fast. We chase each other all day long.

SLC- Day 3

Today was a free day. We explored the city. The Olympics were here in 2002. They are still very proud. The Temple grounds were beautiful. It was cold and snowy on my feet. I thought we were leaving winter at home. The spring time flowers are in bloom. We went back to the Zen room to warm up and visit my new friends. I got good massage. One more day to go. I think I miss my brother a little.

SLC Day 2 -Showtime

Today is the day we do our presentation. Well, I help. Mom does the hard part. We attended classes in the morning. The expo center was open and I met more friends that are from schools that teach nurses. The Sanctuary room was open and it was great. Smelled like lavender and eucalyptus. They had comfy couches and rugs to lie on.Mom wouldn't let me on the couch. :( We got our pictures taken too.

Time to get to work. I greeted everyone as they came into the session and provided some comic relief. Everyone enjoyed the presentation and had lots of questions.Then we got to relax a little. We went to a rehearsal for people called the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Music was wonderful but made me a little sleepy. I wanted to take a nap on Mom's lap on the pew. Mom reminded me that polite dogs sleep on the floor. It's been a long day. Good night.
