Bear hugs and stitches

Well it's official, I am now six months old!! WHOO HOO! I am also tipping the scales these days at a solid 46 pounds! These last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of activities for me! The first couple of days after my surgery, I got to spend sometime with Sligo :) We had so much fun playing together that I kept forgetting I had stitches. Besides Sligo coming over, I pretty much stayed at home during the two weeks that I had my stitches for. When I went to get my stitches out, I was definitely much more skeptical of Dr. Rick's office...I actually didn't even want to go at all! I made Nick carry me in!! People kept giving him funny stares since he was carrying in a pretty large dog! It's okay though, I felt much safer with him holding me!! My fist outing after my stitches came out wasn't much better that visiting Dr. Rick. Mom and Em took me to Pet People and I was acting SO weird! It was definitely not normal for me! Luckily I think that I was just scared since having my stitches out, so hopefully my next outing will be better. Since getting spayed, I haven't been to puppy play time in two weeks! Well, I was all excited to go this week, but I learned that puppy play time has ended :( Our puppy supervisor Stephanie has left Petco, so no more puppy time :( I was super sad! Since everyone has officially gone back to school and work now, I am getting use to being alone in the basement for the majority of the morning till mom comes home :) I am also starting to get much better at holding my piddle. I am starting to become a very rare piddler now!! YAY!

Well, it's dinner time ;)

Big giant bear hugs :) 

Nap buddies?

In to everything!

Wow, is that true! I have been so busy this month that I have had hardly anytime to write! This past week I spent the night away from home for the first time ever! I HATED it! I got spayed, so I had to stay at Dr. Rick's office for the night. He told my mommy and daddy that I barked all night long....shocker I know! I have been behaving myself very well since then! I haven't tried to bite at my stitches or anything! Nick keeps putting A&D on them for me, but I always lick it off! It's kind of like a little treat.... Before my surgery though, I enjoyed getting to spend time with everyone before they all went back to work and school. It's a little odd now that people are constantly coming and going in the house...I still have to work on realizing that.....I tend to bark when they come in the house! I have officially been moved from puppy food these days and I am eating full on adult doggy food! I think everyone figured that since I eat everything else, like rocks, sticks, shoes, leather, dirt, etc. that giving me adult food would be ok! I am really enjoying it though!! I have been spoiled this month (I know, no different than any other month!) so much! I have gotten lots of new toys and been getting lots of love! My new favorite toy is my cow toy that Em picked out for me. He's almost as big as me! He even came with me when I got spayed so I had something familiar with me :)

Enjoy the last part of summer!!
