Mom and Me

Here I am with my mom Rowina. There are 9 of us S puppies from Rowina and BajaII. I am the only one in the South Bay area. We now live all over the country from Maine to California.

My girl goes to the Prom

I didn't get to go, they say I am too young for the Prom. But, my girl went and I had my photo taken with her. Don't I look terrific?

Mountain View Parade

On April 26, 2008 the South Bay CCI Chapter participated in the Mountain View Spring Parade. Sabrina was very well behaved, I think she got scared and went to the bathroom in the middle of the street when we started "marching," but other than that she was perfect she stayed at my knee the entire time, I was so proud of her. After the parade there was a festival for the participants and viewers. There were two police horses there and the Policeman was very nice and let Sabrina say hello to his horse. Sabrina got excited and jumped around a little bit, then she calmed down and sniffed the horse and licked him, I am not so sure that the horse appreciated the lick. While we were at the festival the only thing that distracted her was another dog barking at her, and I nearly got my arm pulled off.

There is a picture slide show in the left hand bar of the parade.

A long needed update

Sorry it has been so long. I have been busy with school and Sabrina. Everything is going fine so far though.

Sabrina is getting naughtier though. She has figured out that if she wriggles sideways she can sometimes get under the baby gate into the cats' room, where she raids their food and litter boxes. My mom has caught her doing this a few times.

Today we are going to a parade in Mountain View. I'm hopping that with the gentle leader she will not pull my arm off. Though she has learned that if she pulls backward on the gentle leader it does not crick her neck.

A more personal touch

I have found that raising a puppy is wonderful, especially if I have had a bad day at school. Only once have I gotten really mad, she chewed one of my shoes, and it was kind of my fault for leaving them out, but she had never had an interest in shoes. She also went for my fuzzy inside shoes that really comfortable, but not too tacky, and my dad's leather shoes were next to mine. But I have gotten over it, I have more than just one pair of shoes.

Puppy Class 4/15

Last night a puppuy class, the community center double booked the basement so we had to work outside, and being Californian we were all freezing! I think Sabrina was cold and distracted because she lost her focus very quickly. Norrmally she can focus for more than a minute, even when we arew training outside. Also she gets really excited about all the other puppies, and sometimes she would rather play with the other puppies than pay attention to me and get a hot dog.

Training has been going well, she normally listens and pays attention, but we are still having problems getting her to lay down. She can do it for other people, just not for my mom or I.
