Puppies go “back to school” too!

Anyone want a kiss for $1? Free soda with every kiss!

 

I know it’s been a while since I’ve written to you … Wait till I tell you everything I’ve been up to!

I finally got to meet my “dog sitter” and guess who it is? Dr. Holcomb – remember her? She’s the nice lady who took care of me when my leg was sick. Anyway, I went and stayed at her house with my newest best friends Kennedy and Leo. Kennedy is a little girl who just thought I was the best thing since peanut butter Frosty Paws!! We played and played. Leo is Dr. Holcomb’s dog … he just thought I was “ok”. We all had a blast and I made sure to do like the moms said: use my manners and not “go” in the house. I was a very good boy, Kennedy said.

 

We had some special visitors in September. The North Shore Animal League came by with their “Adoption Bus” as part of the “Get Your Licks on Route 66” tour. And I got to help!! That’s right – Megan (an intern at Second Chance) needed help selling sodas to raise money and I was just the right Tripawd for the job. I was very good at it too. I remembered to say “Hello” to everyone who walked by and made sure they knew we were there. Sometimes, if they bought a kiss for a dollar I would throw in a soda for free. It was a blast ….in this one day eight of my friends found their forever homes! HUGE thanks to Dan and Jenn who drive the bus. They were a lot of fun.

 

Remember when I told you about Puppy Kindergarten and how good I was doing? Well, I did so good they let me graduate to Grade School Basics. Today was First Grade and I was GREAT!! I got to play with Maggie Mae (we’ve known each other since kindergarten) and we invited our new friends Gus, Sue and Little Dude to join in. My friend Becky from work is our teacher and she’s FANTASTIC!!! We practiced sitting, playing, our names and some playing. I was the best at playing… Becky even said so! She was teaching everyone how to “shake hands” with people – but when I tried I would just fall down. So, Momma Donna is going to teach me to “bow” instead. Next week is Second Grade – Momma Donna says I’m gonna learn lay, spin and to sit for longer! All that sounds just fine but, really I just want the treats and play with the other dogs. Recess is my favorite subject!

Can I ask you a question? Momma Donna says that “winter is coming” (I have no idea what she’s talking about but it must be serious cause she brought out all of these poofy clothes) and that we’ll need to think about me and ice (I like ice she puts it in my water bowl). Does anyone have any ideas that the Moms can use so I don’t slip on the ice? If you do, can you email them to me at DearDoctorWatson@gmail.com?

  1. you have been too darn busy!!! and geesh, giving all those kisses away – learn to trade kisses for treats! there are a bunch of boots available for your three feet that might help on ice…we suggest you check out the tripawds gear blog and see the recommendations there. we don’t get enough ice and snow here in ET to need them, but many folks swear by the boots!

  2. Duuuuuuude! Skewl is kewl! You’re super smart!

    Hmmm….ice. Yeah, that can be a tricky thing, but you know lots of my musher friends use boots with grippy bottoms and they do great in them. Not all dogs think boots are so kewl though, so try using the PAWZ boots we mention in the Gear blog first OK? If you like those, you will LOVE the Ruff Wear booties a lot of my friends like.

  3. So my daughter keeps demanding to have her dog back…and I keep telling her “Watson needs to be with his real mommy” poor girl, I think it was love at first sight. Leo is just too “weird” in her opinion with his big lips and, of course, Watson is a better kisser 🙂
