Hi everybody, Nicholas here.  I've had a fun couple of days.  Yesterday my Human took me in the car and we went to a place called Mission Viejo.  Apparently we went to see these people called "Parents", but there were no puppies for me to play with.  That's okay.  My Human and her Parents played with me.  She brought all my favorite toys and tossed them in the house for me to bring back to her.  I kept running after the toys in the kitchen and the floor was so shiny that I kept sliding into the cabinets.  My Human kept laughing at me, she thought it was funny.  I just thought it was FUN!

I didn't have ONE accident at the Parent's house, I was very proud of myself!  I didn't even complain when I had to "get busy".  They have this really big yard covered in green stuff.  My Human calls it grass.  It smelled really good and was full of bugs.  My Human even had one hitch-hike on her show into the house!  It was just inching its way along the side and kept reaching up to grab at stuff.  My Human's father even took me out and we were running around the yard.  It was so much fun!  That is until I got tired.  Lucky for me, my Human brought my crate and I was able to take a nice nap!

When we got home and I was SO TIRED that I only got up once that night!

Today was also a fun day.  My Human put me in the car and we went for a drive again!  I kept trying to crawl to the back seat, so my Human had to tie an extra leash to the door.  It is just long enough to let me lie down, turn around and stand up, but I can't go anywhere.  Darn.  She's learning as fast as I am!  I like riding in the car.  My Human always gives me my favorite chew toy filled with goodies.  When I'm done getting everything out of it, I just lie down and snooze.

We went to a place that had really shiny floors and windows.  I got to wear my new yellow jacket, but it was so big, it kept falling off!  I kept looking at this really handsome puppy walking next to me.  He even had a yellow jacket like me!  But I couldn't smell him.  My Human laughed and told me it was my reflection.  Hmm... I'll have to figure out what that means too.  There is so much to learn!  We got into this box called an elevator.  It ZOOMED up and down and was so much fun!  On the way home we went to a place called "work".  My Human held me while all these people came up and petted me and told me how cute I was.  I like them!  There were all these interesting ringing noises.  They didn't scare me, but they were interesting!

My Human sat with me outside for a while and she put me in her lap and rubbed my belly.  I think I fell asleep because when I woke up there were more people standing around me telling me how cute I am.  I think I like this place called work.

When we got home, my Human said I had too much energy so she took me outside behind her house and put me on the really long leash.  She tossed my toy and kept telling me to "sit" and "wait".  I really wanted my toy, but she wouldn't let me go get it.  But as soon as I stopped squirming she'd say "okay" and I'd run, get my toy and bring it back.  That was a LOT of fun.  I think we should do that every day!

My Human said I'm a Big Boy now because I ate my food dry.  No more mush for me!  Now I'm resting in my crate after a busy 2 days.  I'm liking this place more and more.  I just hope there is more to learn.  So far I've learned to "Sit", "Wait", "Go Get It", and "Give".  I'm going to bed now, I'll update you again soon!
