Speaking Squirrel

Hi, everypup!  Guess what?  I am now six months old!  Mom says that I am getting to be a big girl too, 37 pounds.  Maybe someday I will be as big as my big sister, Genny.  Maybe not.  But we sure are having fun.

Genny is showing me all sorts of things.  Like how to swap out bones safely and all of the comfy snoozing spots in the house.  I am going to school again, cuz mom thinks I am so smart.

Now, it's not all roses here.  One day, on the way down the hill to the dog park, my leash snapped in half.  I lost mom for a minute and she was pretty scared.  But I led her to the gate of the park and everything was okay again.  Mom says that I chewed on the leashes while we were in the car.  But I never chew bad things at home.  Whatever happened, we got free replacements from the awesome folks at Lupine.  Mom gets all nervous now, checking the leashes, and even taking them off while we are riding in the car.  Silly mom, I wouldn't chance losing her a second time!

Genny is on mom's side, for some reason.  I think Genny needs more playtime. 

She is also teaching me all about squirrels.  Genny is ever vigilent in watching for squirrels.  She thinks they are up to no good.  They are constantly spying on us from the neighbor's trees.  They aren't even very good at hiding.  Sometimes, they even call us names.  At least I think they do.  If I could only speak squirrel.

Being watchful for squirrels is especially important on walks.  Genny is hyper aware of them while we stroll our neighborhood.  I am looking out for crunchy leaves and sticks.  They can be sneaky too!  Mom's favorite thing to say during walks is "leave it." I don't know why.

Until next time,

Look out for squirrels!
