Today is the Big Day!

Today is the "Big Day" that mom has been talking about. We are going to Clinton Elementary School in Poughkeepsie to meet the kids in the afterschool program. Mom is nervous because it is going to be held in the cafeteria and thinks I might be distracted by all the morsels that people may have dropped on the floor at lunch time. I suppose she should be worried. I love searching for food. She is also nervous because it will be the first time we have to do my tricks in front of a crowd. She said she got me special yummy treats to keep my attention. I can't wait!

We're also going to be giving out my brand new trading cards. Don't I look handsome? I love kids and am excited to meet so many of them today! We are participating in Tillman the Skatedog's Blog Hop. Check out some of these other cool dog blogs!

I like being a family dog!

Although I tend to be a busy bee getting into mischief sometimes, I really like just hanging out. My brother Coleman gets annoyed at me when I roll around on the couch too much and step on him or smash into him but when I am calm he doesn't mind snuggling.

It has been very cold this week so I have been spending a lot of time under the covers. I really like being a family dog.

Guerilla Agility

I get a bit nutty if I don't have stuff to do so even though it was really cold out today, mom brought me to the park to do what she called Guerrilla Agility. She said my brother Coleman used to do lots of it when he was younger and at the time she called it Ghetto Agility because of the neighborhoods they were practicing in. She said no one really used the parks because they were so sketchy so no one complained if she had a dog there. I don't get scared climbing things or sliding down things or being on strange surfaces. I love it!

I am a working man!

NYC Store Dog???

Mom had to pick up my brother's girlfriend Pinot the Bedlington Terrier today in NYC so I went along for the ride. I got to hang out at LINGO and be the store dog for a few hours while mom did her business. I like hanging out with my Auntie Shin there. She gives me yummy treats and I find things in the store that apparently I am not supposed to find like cupcake wrappers and bagels. There is a nice fluffy chair there that I particularly enjoy laying on. Don't I look good?

I am cheering up my dad!

My dad injured his knee skateboarding. It's all swollen and he says it hurts a lot. Today he asked me if I would cuddle with him to make him feel better. Mom said it might make him hurt more instead.....

I have trouble keeping still sometimes as you can see. I didn't knock into dad's knee though.

After a few minutes of fussing I was able to settle down and cuddle. He said his knee still hurt but it made him feel better laughing and smiling.

Pit Bull Awareness Day

Today I went to Albany to help spread the good word about my brothers and sisters at Pittie Palooza. Mom and I set up a table with all the good reading material from Animal Farm Foundation and National Canine Research Council. The posters and trading cards were very popular. When do I get one with my picture on it?These cuties were helping sell food and drinks.

This is Ramona. She is up for adoption from Mowhawk Hudson Humane Society.These are doggie cupcakes that I got to sample. I brought home one to share with my brother.
After a very long day doing tricks and showing everyone what a well behaved dog looks like, mom said I earned a few hours of freedom when we got home. I used my freedom to lick my brother's unfinished peanut butter kongs and make a nest on the couch. I don't even care about the cats screaming for their dinner. I am pooped.
