Today instead of meeting at GDA for Jessica’s Level III class we all meet at a shopping center in Northridge. Jessica put us all in to teams and armed us with clip boards and pins to complete a scavenger hunt. I was in a team with Fisher and Ringo, our team finished first, we had a huge advantage as Denise and Ringo’s raisers have done this hunt before. We climbed the stairs at REI to find the price of Crocs and then took the elevator down; last time I was here I was four and half months old and did not want to climb the stairs for anything so it took Denise the whole three minutes that the team we were with to find whatever item they were looking for to get me up the stairs but I did it. After all the teams finished the hunt we all had some water and took a group photo.

Today is Saturday Obedience class at GDA again. Jessica planed another fun packed class. Now I am going to stay over at Camp GDA for the first time. I can’t wait to see who will be my roommate and to play with everyone. Denise will come and get me on Monday; I may not want to come home though.

We were very busy today. First we started the day with Denise sewing ten more collars to sell. Then at 9:45am we climbed into the car for a ride to GDA for the once a month Saturday class with Jessica. We arrived early so Sarah the Vet Tec. could see the selection of collars that Denise had made for her. At class I was traded again to another puppy raiser and Denise took her dog. Then we went two different directions on a walk around GDA campus. I was very good for Juliana “But I am always good”. We meet back up and did some sit stays and down stays then I was returned to Denise, but class was not over yet. Jessica had a team game to play for Super Bowl Weekend. The game started with a down or sit stay while our raisers separated valentine heart candy into our food bowls “Kerplunk, Kerplunk”, after that our raisers are given a glass of water were we heal over to a bowl were it is dropped into, and the last stop is to be the chairs where a down stay is required before someone can throw a football threw a hula-hoop. Our teams time was 2:01 but the winning team was 1:96 “oh well next time”. After class Denise took me to Splash Dogs for another bath. Wissel came with us also to get clean, I already had my bath but I tried to join in with Wissel. When we got home at 2:30pm Denise started sewing again, she is donating a bunch of her collars to GDA to sell at Graduation tomorrow. At 9:30pm we’re in the car again to go pick up Denise’s cousin, Nathan, from the Van Nuys FlyAway We have not seen Nathan for two and half months and he said that I have grown so much since he has seen me. “I don’t think I grew that much”. After dropping Nathan off, it was home again and finally to bed. “Boy did I have a big day”

Denise makes all my collars and sometimes she sells them, today Auntie Mary Lou was buying more collars for Wissel. We went to see her before Wissel’s training class, where she picked out three new collars. When the class began Jessica asked if we wanted to join in and so we did. This class was an off site class with a scavenger hunt around the shopping center. Where we were put in teams and had to go hunt for all the answers. I was a big distraction for all the teams as I was the only baby there. I really did not like the stairs at REI. Denise says that we are now going to be working double time to learn how to climb stairs. That is not going to be fun.
