Swimming

It was very hot today. Ruth took me to Priory Park where they have a big lake. At the shallow bit she threw a stick in for me to chase. I love chasing sticks. Anyway, she threw the stick in once and I went up to my shoulders to get it out and then she threw it in again and I don't know how but I started swimming! Ruth was amazed. I must be a really big girl now I can swim.

Rolling Over

Eric is very pleased with me because I can do a special trick just for him. When he says roll over and makes a sign of rolling over with his hand I roll onto my back and then onto my tummy. Eric sang me a special puppy song and gave me a jumbo bone treat because he said I was such a good girl.

Ruth Comes Home

Ruth came to pick me up from Clare's house today. I was so excited I ran round and round and kept wagging my tail and then I ran to my toy box and kept getting toys out to show her. Ruth said she'd missed me lots. I missed her too - although I liked staying with Clare and her dog, Nicole. I think Ruth and Eric shouldn't go on holiday again - unless they take me with them. Eric brought me a present back from France where he said the dogs were allowed to go in restaurants and shops - just like I am.

Dog Show

Canine Partners had a special dog show at Clapham today. Clare took me along because Eric and Ruth are on holiday. I got to be in the display and show people some of the clever things that Canine Partners dogs can do. Ruth's mum and dad came to watch me and they said I did very well.
