Artist? Not really

Today, I got to go to Maybury State Park in Northville. There was a lot of PAWS people there... and Ike got to come too, which made me really happy.

We all had a chance to get together and talk, and I got my picture taken a couple times, but wasn't really in the mood today. I was just happy being with my mom.

My mom's best friend Yvonne took me over to where the dogs were being allowed to "paint" because my mom couldn't get there... here is my artwork.

I think I will keep my day job :) I love taking care of my mom.

I also got to meet my half brother Karson today and my mom got to hold him on her lap. She is a bit sad I am too big to do that... but I try to wiggle the sad away.

A champion? Maybe.....

This was taken at Cobo Center in Detroit at the Detroit Kennel Club Dog Show this March.

Mom says I am her champion. I don't know what she means. I like to help her when she drops stuff or wants stuff she can't reach, I am happy to try and get it for her.

She says she would be lost without me. I don't understand what that means either. She always knows where she needs to go. Oh well.... she wanted to share this picture.

What a day!!!!

Wow!!!!

Mom said today was special.... thought it was just cause it was her birthday, but boy was I wrong.

We went to the Detroit Zoo very early this morning and what a surprise I got... Bill and Linda Mueller the couple from Ludington who raised me as a wee pup were there.. I was SO excited to see them, I couldn't stop the wiggle.

A lot of the family was there for a special walk. We walked around the zoo and then we sat in some shade for a while. They brought some gifts for my mom and also my Kong that I had as a pup. I still wanted it today. So now I have it again.

The pictures are of most of the family that was there for the walk and also one of me and my mom with my foster mom and dad.

We got to go out to lunch with everyone too... and I got to show them how well I behaved in the restaurant, which mom Linda was glad to see because I guess I had problems with that as a pup.

Ready for Demo's

Sometimes Mom and I go places where she talks about Paws and about me and some of the things I can do for her.

She bought me this bag to carry all the stuff in it that we use. Then she used her cross stitching talents and put my name on it so everyone knows it is mine.

I love it. I carry it proudly anytime we use it.

She wanted me to tell any other PAWS people out there that if they wanted one for their dog or puppy, all they would have to do is purchase the bag they would want to use (Make sure that she will be able to stitch on the fabric) and get it to her. She will be happy to help.

All groomed now

Here I am... fresh from getting groomed. Mom had a coupon for a free groom and decided I could use one.

They said I did just great!!! I was real glad when mom came back to get me though... I couldn't stop jumping. She said it was okay for a minute, but I had to get back to work.

I am soft now and I am sure glad to be home.

Mom says we won't do that often. She perfers to do it herself but wants me to look extra good for something special next week.

So here I am.
