I haven't gotten to use the computer very much, especially last week because Daddy went away and locked his computer....then I forgot to ask Mommy to log me on when she got home from the place that she wears pretty clothes. I was going to say a little something about Aidan, on Friday because it was Aidan's Birthday, but neither Mommy or Daddy were home!!!! They keep leaving us pups and not taking us on their adventures. I heard last weekend they went hiking a bunch and slept outside. There's not a whole lot I love, but hiking is definitely one of the things I really do enjoy! We did get to go hiking last Monday for over 2 hours! It was so much fun. Mommy let me hike without a leash for a lot of it and our friend Balta got to come play with us. This weekend they left us to go play at one of those OCRs (Obstacle Course Race)....I like agility, so I'd probably enjoy those, but Mommy says that it's too dangerous for puppies, except Roxy the OCR Dog who is a service dog for her Mommy! She's WAY cool!
Anyway...back to filling you in on what I've been up to! My big, big brother, Aidan's birthday was Friday (09/09/2007). He would have been 9 years old, and it's almost been a year since he crossed rainbow bridge. Mommy was crying a bunch Friday morning, so I know she misses him just as much as I do (probably more though). I tried to help by cuddling up to her while she was eating breakfast, and I stayed as close as I could until she made me go into my bed so she could go to the place she wears pretty clothes. Aidan was an awesome big, big brother!!! He played with me a bunch and he would sleep near me when I was a baby puppy. He made sure the world wasn't a scary place for me when I was a little puppy. When I was big enough to not sleep in my crate we would cuddle a bunch before bedtime. He taught me how to get up on the couch, and he liked to play with me at the pond. We only went off leash hiking together once because he thought it would be fun to explore places we don't typically go (Mommy and Aunt Mama didn't think that was cool)....after that one of us (usually Aidan) would always be on a leash. I got to watch Aidan and Mommy play Obedience and Rally Obedience where they got pretty ribbons. He always seemed to make Mommy proud, and now that he's gone, it's my job to make Mommy proud. I'm not quite as good as Aidan was at that, but I try really hard! Aidan's favorite things to play with Mommy was agility!!! They were a lot of fun to watch playing agility, whih is probably why I like playing agility too. I miss my big, big brother a bunch! He was amazing!!!! Now I get to be the oaf's big brother, and I'm pretty sure I'm as good of a big brother to the oaf as Aidan was to me :)
Yesterday, we finally got to go swimming! It seemed like it had been FOREVER since we got to go ponding. I was a good puppy and I got to wait my turn in a crate near the pond, so I got to watch Trek and MommyDoodleBug work. They were both really good, except the oaf kept going puppy brain and forgot to get his bumper a few times. Allyn All it's been a very fun past few weeks! Mommy says that I have a big test coming up next weekend, so I'm sure we'll be practicing a bunch for it this week! I'm usually pretty good with tests, as long as water isn't involved!
Tchau!
