Week 17 from Lex's View

  


I went on an outing to help out a local college puppy raising group. First, I posed for a picture!



There were lots of stairs.



Walking down the stairs



I hung out at the GEB table.



I settled nicely and chewed my bone, despite it being VERY loud with music and talking, along with lots of people. Some people were dressed up in costumes!



Harlow and I made a great PR team. Lots of students petted us. I did great with all the people.



Patiently settling

I went to the nursing home with Mom. I wore my shirt that says, "I'm adorable. What's your superpower?" 

Nicely waiting to be petted

Walkers with tennis balls...Mom says it didn't look like I noticed the tennis balls. I got her fooled!



I love saying hi to people.

People love me, too!



A belly rub!!! I love these!!!

I went on a hike in the woods. Guess what I saw??! Several deer. They were running very fast. I couldn't quite figure out what they were. They kinda look like me (especially the fawn!). I watched nicely.

Best Friends Forever!!!

I took a nice walk in a different part of town. We had a great time exploring! 

I liked this short set of stairs.



Surely they aren't talking to ME?! I'm a guide dog puppy in training!

These stairs were super weird. I handled them really well, even if they feel funny.

Really wide stairs.

Stairs with grass growing out of them. Hmm...



Lexus Series #4
This one is pretty sleak looking!

I went to Wal-Mart. Nooooooo! Please no clothing shopping. Oh phew...it was just a quick browse!



Hello, my name is Lex. How may I help you today?

Shopping for ink.



  

Mom and I went to Walk and Talks that lasted half a day. It wasn't my WT, but I went to hang out. I was in my crate for a LONG time. Mom took me out to go potty every so often. She also gave me yummy stuffed Kongs and bones. Yummy stuff! I was a good boy in my crate. Sometimes, I just reminded mom I was there...because you know those humans, they're forgetful.  

At the end of WT's, I went on a pack walk with 2 of my classmates. I also practiced settling while all the humans talked. I did well, even though it was long and boring to just lay there! 

 

I want to go golfing. Please!!!



I went on another walk in town. I also went on Main Street for the first time. There's a lot to see!

Cool grate!

I think there must be lots of dogs who walk in town because there were some super good smells. Mom and started to play a fun game. If I worked around the area of interest by walking past it or doing obedience, I got to check out the smell. YAY! After a little bit, Mom said my name , so I could practice my name response. When I would respond, Mom threw the biggest party in the history of parties. I love this game

  

So I went to Walmart again. For awhile, I hung outside and people watched. I also got to chew this bone.

I also got to watch these SUPER cool things called leaves. They were really little, but every so often, the wind would swirl them around. I thought it was really neat and wanted to join the party. Unfortunately, Mom said that I couldn't. Bummer....so instead, Mom and I practiced my name response and check-ins around the leaves. It was a very good alternative, so I was happy!

Beautiful mums!

Then, I went into Walmart. I settled in the shoe aisles.

If I were to buy a pair of slippers, I'd get these!!!



Reflections!

Okay...it's not polite to take pictures of a sleeping dog with his mouth open.......



............Nor pictures of a sleeping dog on his back. When am I going to get these humans trained?!



I kicked off the weekend by going to a pool party. There was food (for the humans!) and ice cubes for me. I hung out very nicely. Have a great Labor Day weekend!

Week 17 with Lucky

Lucky has been here for 17 weeks now!!! :) To be honest, this week has been kinda blah for Lucky, nothing too exciting on the outing level, I've kind of been putting all my outing time into Eden because I want to spend every minute with her until she leaves for her IFT on September 7th. But Lucky is still having fun and doing some fun things! :)

Lucky and Eden can often be found laying next to each other right in front of the baby gate to the office at work. haha

bliss. They all fell asleep at the same time. :)

earlier this week Lucky got to go to the mall for the first time! He handled it VERY well!! We went into one store and then had dinner at Chipolte. He did SO well!! 

Oh that day we also went to Five Below. He did great there as well. :)

Lucky prefers to sleep up front then in the back. He will sleep in the back, but he seems to like the front better.

Sis and Lucky are already in love. they send snaps to each other often :) hahaha
