Learning New skills

My old Mom was telling me all about Learning 2.0 and Web 2.0. -she found 2 neat articles which I like. http://www.techsource.ala.org/blog/2008/03/teaching-a-dog-new-tricks.html- “Teaching a dog new tricks” and http://jackrussell51.blogspot.com/2008/02/web-20-or-library-20.html - "Jack's Life" My thoughts are: Learning new technology and discovering new methods of communication is similar to the methods that humans use in training their dogs. You start out learning to sit then you learn to lie down then you learn to do doggie pushups. Social networking is similar to my playing with all the puppies at Puppy Kindegarten.
Maybe I can introduce these new ideas to my 6 old cats that live with me and this photo will be me and one of them. I will try my new communication skills on them.....Wish me luck... I will need it...

Puppy Kindegarten - 7th week

I had practice for my graduation. Had to do doggy situp, leave it and wait and come to my Moms. I did pretty good but was distracted by all other dogs watching me. Here is link to Toby's K9 Kamp - http://www.tobysk9kamp.com/ I am going to more classes- I love to play with other dogs. Made a new friend " Dory" - he plays rough but it is fun.

Mom made a Puzzle of me and more

Mom used the Mash-up ,Flicker FD Toys and made a puzzle of my face. Maybe she can sell it since I am famous now and on the Internet. She will be able to buy me things if she makes some $. More bones for me and better leather collar. She also used Motivator and made this poster of me. Funny..Ha.Ha..

Lupus Loop Run/Walk

I walked with my 2 moms for 2 mile walk to benefit the Lupus foundation.
My 2 older sisters were also there. I made friends with lots of other dogs that were walking too and their owners. I now walked in Fairmont Park in Philadelphia. It was fun.... and a nice sunny day.

My Mom's new tattoo

My crazy mom created this new tattoo with an online image generator, Image Chef and I hope she isn't going to get it.

Mom has some of my photos on FlickR and Facebook

I must be a cute puppy and I am famous now. The puparazzi will be coming around our house soon and I will bark at them and scare them off. I can show them my tricks while barking at them. I can sit and bark and lay and bark and standup and bark.... Wow - I can't wait to see them.

I have a tummy ache

I ate my older brothers' sock and my stomach didn't like it so much this morning - I got sick. I don't think my brother will get his sock back. I will rest all day and try to remember not to eat anything but my food and treats. No clothing....

Hope Mom takes me on long walk tonight. Last night we went to lake again and saw birds and sniffed other critters. I was on their trail.

Puppy Kindegarten and walk in Kerr Park

Monday was our 6th class of Puppy K. I protected a tiy little white puppy named "Snowy" from the big mean dogs. I kept pushing them away. I did all my tricks right and made my 2 Moms very happy. Next week - we will practice for graduation.
Tuesday-Took a walk around Kerr Park - looked at the creek, watched baseball, ran after a remote car and played in the leaves. Fun time - sniffing around a new place.
Wednesday - barked at my brother when he was working on roof and chased the cats around the house. I still am trying to be their friends but all they do is hiss and swat at me. My nose was sore tonight- very pink.

Weekend with my family

I went kayaking at Marsh Creek with my 2 Moms. The water was really choppy and scary for me. My PFD did not fit me so going out in the boat without was scary too. I kept standing up and rocking the boat and both my Moms were telling me to sit down. The water was cold so I decided to sit down and enjoy the ride. Sunday was a lazy day and I slept alot- both my Moms had things to do around the house. I hate the vacuum cleaner - it is loud and it looks like a monster. I laid on sofa and watched tv. I chased a couple cats and they hissed at me. Oh well - some day they will be my friends. More news tomorrow
