Barking's Of Texas

Hi Guys,
So I came home to mom 'bout, I don't even know, furever ago, and she told me that I get to wear a yellow jacket a be a helper dog and stuff...
Soo yesterday, she went away for a looong time, WITHOUT ME, mind you...which I think is really un-fair since I'm supposed to be a guide dog puppy and go EVERYWHERE with her. But nooo she stuck me in that crate place...with my food so it was alright.

But when she got back, the whole car thing was FULL of fun sounding baggies and stuff and they all smelled so good! I watched her put all the stuff on the table and it took her a really long time too cause she said she's not going to go shopping for another month!!

Bags of Groceries

Anyway, so, cause I"m a helper dog an everything, I thought I'd just jump in and help her put away some groceries and stuff, cause I mean it was a LOT of stuff!! But when she saw me grabbing something down..TO PUT AWAY.. she didn't like that and TOOK IT AWAY!

So I thoughts to myself, "Rob she didn't want you to put THAT away cause she had a special place for it..why don't you grab sometin else?" So i went around the other side and grabbed something else...cause my legs got stretched out while I was sleeping  the other day, and I can stand up really tall, if  I only use two legs!

Texas can't do that cause he didn't sleep enough when he was little like me.

Hee.hee..

But then mom didn't like THAT EITHER!? And then put me out on the porch so I couldn't "get into anything else!" I was just tryin to be a helper dog!?

Antiways. I think she saw the error of hers ways cause later she let me play in a "kiddie pool".  'cept there was not kids in it, so that was disappointing cause I like those little peoples.But the water was super fun, it made me really happy so I had to run around in big circles as FASTTT as I could!

But after that I didn't want to get wet no more so I went off to see what Bubble's was doing. She wasn't doin anything fun, so I saw Texas across the yard and decided to sneak up on him. Cept he saw me even though I mAde SURE to sneak up on him, on his bad eye side.

Oh well, I made him run after me for a while, before mom took us inside.

And that's about all I did yesterday. Mom still didn't let me help no more even though I really thought I could help out with making hamburgers! One day I WILL learn to hop those baby-gates.

I'm just sayin.

So yesterday it rained and rained and rained and it rained soooo much yesterday, that my front yard turned into a big swimming pool! Way cool huh? I'll bet none of y'alls yards did that before huh? Mom stuck on her water boots and went and walked around in it, so I followed her. I had ta swim at one point cause it was so deep!  Mom gave me a bath afterwards, but it was worth it!

Happy Post-Memorial Day! I took the day to collect my wits from our crazy week last week, my poor pups are feeling extremely neglected between my work schedule and a weeklong church event. So in an attempt to appease my guilty conscious, I spent all day with them and on impulse decided to purchase one of those kiddie pools from Wal-Mart. To say my dogs were spoiled could very well be an understatement.

Since school let out, Pompei’s exposures outings have gone down significantly due to my lack of restraint. I’m the world’s worst impulse buyer, and right now I have to save every penny possible so I can afford to get one of these babies…. So I limit MY shopping exposure to purchasable items, to only several times a week.
He did get to visit with some of the other raisers in my group, when they took him to a baseball game with them. Our monthly puppy meeting and my friends graduation were scheduled on the same day, so my leader offered to take him with them. So he went and had a great time. He did have one little accident but that was well.. things happen! :-) Charlottes raiser handled him while he was there, and said both dogs did really well with each other and didn't even try to play too much! (insert surprised face)
I was glad for him to get out with someone else, as its very important that he learn how to take commands from someone else.

Upcoming Events in Pompeii's Life: 

• Shopping with Mom - Today :)
• He's headed in for the big "Snip-SNip" this Thursday so paws and tails...? cross for him!
• Next week, we're meeting with our regional advisor, I haven't seen her in over a at a year and half, so I'm looking forward to see them again!  
• Pompei will also being spending sometime with another raiser while we go out of town later on this month! 

We're going to keep him hopping!
