2009 Christmas

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year everyone

I am all excited to start a new year with mom. The new year is going to bring classes and more classes. Rally, Obiendence and Agility.

Mom's business has had it's ups and downs. Everytime we try and plan something someone calls. It is good for the business but hard for mom to get training time for me. This coming year we are going to buckel down and get some classes done. Maybe we can start the same time Grandma starts Brie.

Well we hope everyone has a safe and happy Christmas and New Year.

PS: Good by to 2009

Fall has arrived

Well mom had fun last night. She went to the Star Wars in Concert at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester. The day before she made a gown like Princess Leia's gown in the end of New Hope. Mom got to meet Darth Vader, storm troopers, an ewok, Bubba Fett, a sand person, and the biggest hit R2D2 was there running around and "Talking". Mom got her picture with R2D2 and Darth Vader. The concert was narrated by Anthony Daniels "C3PO". They did a great job with mixing the music and the film was on a 3 story screen. The people walking around as characters are from the 501 NEG, New England Garrison. They go to conferances, parades, ect as star wars characters.

Well I hope everyone is staying warm. And keep my Great Grandpa Indy in your prayers, he is not doing to good.

LONG WEEKEND

First on Friday mom and I spent the day with mom's best friend from high school Connie. We drove around and then we walked out in Pawtuckaway State Park. I did walk in the water a little. After Connie left mom and I went to the office and I slept. I was so tired mom put some of my toys on me and I did not move.

Then on Saturday friends of mine Trixie and Cuffy found a turtle in the front yard. Mom brought it in and I had my first encounter with a turtle. It was fun sniffing it. Then mom took it away.

Back to my nap. Today is not a fun day to be outside. Oh on Saturday mom and I are going to have our portrait done. See the church is doing pictures and portraits for the members and mom signed us up for a portrait. Then the following weekend is the Wooden Boat Show in Mystic Seaport CT. Busy month.

Stay dry

Good Luck Grandma

My grandma is going for her motorcycle license course this weekend. She has a 150cc scooter so she needs a license to drive so she has been driving around the house. Uncle Brodie has to be put in the house because he barks at the scooter when grandma goes by. Aunt AElz and I just watch her go by and mom stays by just incase grandma falls.

To top off this weekend mom has a friend from High school staying at grandma's house Thursday night and Friday they are going out. Mom's friend's name is Connie. I can't wait to meet her. Pictures to come of their reunion. They haven't seen each other in 12 years.

Obeidence is going good. I am doing better on my downs and I stayed standing still while Nancy, our instructor, comes up to me and touches my back. When mom tells me to stay I do move sometime but doing better about staying. But my challenge is that when some of the other dogs move I watch them and get into trouble because I am not paying attention to mom. But when I do pay attention I get treats and a lot of praise which I love.

Next week mom will have pictures of her reunion with Connie.

Walking Injured

A friend of mom's who lives in Brazil sent up this nice blanket for mom but I love it. My colors and it is nice a comfy.

Mom and I are doing very good. My stitches are almost gone and mom is walking better but still runs funny. Here is a picture of the 2 of us on the couch napping.

In a couple of weeks mom and grandma are going to Mystic Seaport and I am staying with some friends of moms. Uncle Brodie and Aunt AElz are staying with some of grandma's friends.

Well time to practice agiltiy and obiendence. I hope everyone has a good week.

BOO BOOs X 2

I am healing good. But still itches. My temper is getting better every week. The biggest challenge is when I go to Grandma's and see Uncle Brodie, that is when we see how things are. Right now Grandma is sick so we are not going over until she is better.

As for mom she sprained her left ankle walking down the stairs. She did this on Monday morning and today the swelling has gone down and she is walking without those sticks. Last night in class we did ok but I got into trouble because I did not want to go down. I was a good boy and did not make noise at the other dogs in class.

Mom is now wearing glasses to read and the glasses are really pretty. They sparkle on the side and they are purple.

Time for my morning nap. I hope everyone has a good day.

Mom did it

A week ago Tuesday I had a trip to the vet's office. Dr. More got scared when he saw me getting ready for surgery. Dr. Abbie castrated me. See Dr. More knew I was being shown and when mom picked me up Dr. More asked her and she said we were not having fun showing and we are going to have more fun with agility and obiedence. Plus I was being a brate with everyone. Right now I am itchy with my fur growing back.

This picture was the night I got home from the hospital. I had to wear that funny collar. Now the cut I had is almost gone.

We are now going to obiedence training with grandma and Brodie.

Time for mu afternoon nap. Then mom and I are going outside to train. Everyone have a good weekend.

New Year for Me

Mom just got the information from the Teacup Dog Agility Association, TDAA. I am now registed for them and Canine Performance Event, CPE. So we have been outside the office working with my birthday present. The weave poles. They are fun and we use the small bench for a table too. Looks like everyday we are going to be working.

Well time for my morning nap. This weekend I am going to go and see my family at the Deerfield Fair grounds campground area for an agility competition.

Mom will keep you up to date with my progress with training.

Happy Spring!!!

Spring Around The Corner????

Mom took me cross country sking and I got tired. We saw a lot of loss dogs running around and I was a good boy and stayed on lead but being a Shiba I wanted to go after those dogs. Before going mom put some boots on me and I did not like it. Mom laughed at me and said I looked like a cat with tape on the feet.

Hopefully Spring is coming because I want to go and play in the yard at Grandma's house. But right now we have to take it easy with my Aunt AElz. She is sick and can't play with me for a long time.

Well time for my afternoon nap.

Happy Birthday to Me

Last Sunday the 22nd I celebrated my 2nd Birthday with mom. I got to have a Little bit of canned food, which I shared with 2 of my friends. I got a card, a ribbon, book on agility, weave poles, and a book on Rally.

Oh and mom's friend Jodi had her son on the 21st. Congratulations Jodi. I guess Kirian could not wait until my birthday. Time for my bath and then my nap, being 2 is hard on a little Shiba Inu.

Everyone have a good week and stay warm.

Birthday Month

I did not realize mom knew some many people who's birthday is in February. Lets see Mom, mine, Leigh (Mom's Best Friend) and Joe Kenick, Jr. ( Mom's Friend). Plus mom's friend Jodi in Georgia is having a little boy this month. I can't forget my 2 sisters Zen in Candia and Zelda in New Jersey.

Well time for my afternoon nap. Then off to take care of some horses in Fremont and Deerfield. Everyone stay warm and we will talk later.

Guess Who's 40

My mom just turned 40 on Tuesday. Grandma took mom to see Beverly Hills Chihuahua then had dinner at Holidays in Auburn. Then Mom's friend Lynn made a chocolate swirl cake with chocolate frosting. Even had a big 40 on top.

Mom got a iPhone for her birthday and the second picture she took with it was the picture of this husky. I found out this husky's name was Fluffy. She was mom's first dog, no wonder why the picture is over our bed. I guess mom loved her.

Well everyone stay warm.

Snow Storm Sundays

The past 2 Sunday's mom has been busy snow blowing the driveway and the walk ways. One Sunday mom had to walk to a clients house to take care of 3 horses. See the roads were very slippery and not good to drive on. It was so bad that on Highway 93 in Derry there was a 59 car pile up. I stayed in my favorite place wrapped in the blanket nice and warm.

Right now we have 22 1/2 inch of snow on the picnic table. I love to spend time outside playing in the snow. Time to get brushed out and then go to the bank for my cookie. Stay warm and have fun in the snow.

Frozen New Hampshire

Right we are getting the freeze for 2009. Unfortunately mom has come down with the flu so she has to stay in bed. By grandma's orders. So we get to stay nice and warm and sleep all day. My favorite place is wrapped up in the orange afghan on the cough, as you can see by the picture.

Well time to get back to bed and sleep. Everyone stay warm and covered up. I am going back to the blanket and get wrapped up.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Mom and I are glade 2008 is over. We had a bad year. In August we lost my great grandpa Hargreaves, October 9 we lost mom's friend Fran, she owned the alpacas, and then October 15 we lost my grandpa Hutchins. Plus there was the Icy Storm in December when we lost power for 5 days and the other side of town lost power for 7 days.

This year we are hoping for a better year. Mom and Grandma are working on getting me and Uncle Brodie to class together.

Picture 1: Mom took me to Pet Smart to pickup some treats and our Shiba Inu Calander.

Picture 2: I am trying to find out what I got in my stocking for Christmas. Goodies.

Picture 3: Here I am helping Lynn, mom's friend, with her presents. I get to help everyone.

Well Happy New Year Everyone.
