Fun at School

I'm at school again today. There are lots of dogs here and it's really fun! Here I am smiling at some of my freinds.
You can see two of the little dogs misbehaving here while the counselor isn't looking.
Here is one dog trying to box with another. He's pretty good at it!

Cinco de Mayo

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. My mom has had allergies and something called My Grains lately and hasn't been feeling so hot. She's feeling better now though.

Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo! It's a Mexican holiday, but lots of non-Mexican people celebrate it, just like St. Patrick's Day. I am at school today and Scott, our day care counselor, is wearing a sombrero in honor of Cinco de Mayo. Unfortunately, we do not get margaritas.

I Have Something to Say!

And that's all I have to say about that!

Rocky the Keeshond

We had a visitor yesterday. My humans left at 9 am (on a Saturday!) and came back at about 11:30 with a Keeshond named Rocky. He was from the Prince Georges County Animal Management Division. Keeshond Lovers had a foster home that wanted to take him, but the lady couldn't pick him up until Saturday night. So my humans picked him up in the morning and kept him during the day until we took him to meet his foster mom.
Rocky was very scared at first, both of my humans and he was a little scared of me. My mom came in and got me and picked up all my toys and put them away. Then we went outside where dad had Rocky. Rocky liked me but I could tell he was a little scared, so I did everything I could to show him that I was not a threat. We went inside so that Rocky could cool off and relax. He was breathing really hard, and mom said that he had tested positive for heartworms at the shelter, so he needed to take it easy. Rocky rested for a little bit and drank some water and cooled off in the air conditioning, and then decided he wanted to play with me!

Rocky even started coming up to my humans to be petted.

Once Rocky was comfortable playing with me, he turned out to be quite a wrestler! He is really good at standing and walking on his hind legs!

You can see more videos of me and Rocky on my YouTube channel.
My humans can't wait to hear how Rocky does on his heartworm treatment. His coat also had a lot of really bad mats, so he will probably need to be clipped. I even showed him my tire toy and he didn't know what to do with it. I will post updates on Rocky when I hear how he is doing.

My Cool New Collar

My mom was so taken with Abby's ACU collar that she wanted to get one for me! She found an eBay store that sells things made out of camoflage and ordered a collar for me!
Here I am modeling it. It has my name on it! I made a serious face like the Army guys do in their pictures.
Here is a nice closeup of my collar:
I think the AO4 needs some of these!

I'm a Genius!

My mom heard about this cool new toy called the HI.Q. It's supposed to test a dog's IQ. My mom was confident that I would do well, and she knows I love treat dispensing toys, so she ordered the set of 3 so that they can be put together for more of a challenge.
Here you can see that the HI.Q conveniently comes with a rating system. Mom put treats in one toy and gave it to me. I had a treat out of it within 10 seconds. So mom connected the three toys together and put a few treats in each one. I picked the whole thing up and tapped it on the ground and they came loose, and then I took them apart and ate the treats out of all of them. Since I also went to school this morning, I was pretty tired after all that.

Firehose Toys

My mom was talking with some other Husky moms, and they were talking about "durable" soft dog toys. Mom said the only soft toys I'd ever had that lasted were made of fire hose. I have two.
The red one is a Bamboo toy. The orange one is made by Katie's Bumpers. Bonus - the squeaker in that one still works!!!. As you can see, I like these toys and have used them too. They are great for tug of war!

Update on Abby

Remember Abby, the Akita/Siberian Husky mix? The nice lady from Tails of the Tundra who fostered Abby sent my mom an update on her this morning! Her name is now Jersey. Here is what her new mom had to say:
"We couldn't have asked for a more perfect dog than what we got in Jersey . She is so loving, and makes us laugh a lot. She's a true daddy's girl and she and Clyde are so great together. They spend most of their evenings snoring on the couch because they tire each other out so much. It feels like she's always been with us!
Reid and I got engaged recently, so it's been an exciting time for all of us. He's away right now for 3 weeks and I can tell she misses him so much because at the beginning, she cried at the top of the stairs wondering why he wasn't coming home. Here's the pic I sent him this morning to say 'good morning daddy'.
She's wearing an ACU collar (army camouflage). One weekend when Reid came home from drill, I bought them for Clyde and her so that they could match him, and we got some adorable pictures of all of them J We also got her a Coach collar for when she needs to dress up for guests and be the pretty girl – I know, you must think I'm nuts! Hope all is well and thanks again for bringing us our baby girl – I can't imagine our lives without her!!!!!"
Congratulations Jersey, that is such great news!

It's That Time of Year

Guess!
This is from brushing one side of me with just a steel comb.
This is from brushing both sides of me with just a steel comb. Mom said tonight we do the Furminator. She better have some good treats!

This was not supposed to happen!
