What I learned at my first puppy kindergarten class...
... in order of occurrence
1. Tiny, 8 week old yellow lab puppies named Cooper are REALLY TINY and should probably be treated a bit more gently than originally thought. I'll be glad when he's a little bit bigger and can actually play with me.
2. My parents are super psyched that I don't pee from excitement every time I greet someone like that cute dog named Doc does. I may not be perfect, but at least I don't do that! And my parents really like his name, since he is named after Doc Rivers of the Celtics.
3. Karen (my teacher) is really nice. I like it when she uses me as an example for the rest of the class - it means I get extra cookies!
4. I love playing with the other dogs, especially the other two black labs in the class who are close to my age. I like to think I'm the dominant one, but it doesn't always work out that way.
5. I still don't like the water and have no interest in going in the pool, even if my new friends Gracie and Porter are in there. It's just not my thing...
6. I kick butt at sitting on command, but still have no interest what-so-ever in learning how to lay down on command, no matter how many cookies and tricks Karen tries to use.
I can't wait to go back to class next week and see what else I'll learn!

Kayaking
My parents insisted on taking me kayaking this week. While I didn't love it, I also didn't hate it and I was usually pretty good about sitting still. I liked to watch the world go by and it was nice to be out in the sunshine.
They made me wear a life jacket. I think I look ridiculous, but Mom thought I was adorable. It wasn't easy to move around in it, but maybe that is the point...
Here's what I looked like in Mom's kayak with her. I fit pretty well and had plenty of space this year, but I'm not sure its going to work like this again for next year. I hear talk of a double kayak for me and Dad...
Yes, I know I am pretty cute in this picture. I can't help it...
This was my view - not too shabby! A beautiful lake, beautiful sky, beautiful island. Life is good!

Georges Pond
My parents took me on my very first vacation and it was wonderful. We went to Georges Pond and stayed on the lake. While I still don't love the water, I managed to have a good time anyway.
This is basically what my week looked like...
Dad and I took a lot of naps together and it was great.
