We have the plastic turtle in my yard. For what reason, I’m not too sure, it’s there though. This turtle is just one of the many, many things that makes Edie flip her shit. The lawnmower, a leaf, the parked car, a potted plant, you existing….the list goes on

All out war -

(Yes, the video is pixelated, I’m working on it. No, that hand does not belong to me, it’s my sister.)

Kimmy was a little wary of Edie today. I think she is jealous William was giving my pup some attention.

She’s obviously had enough puppy for the day!

Edie went to the dog park for the first time today. It was pretty chilly when we got there so not many pups were out. There was a black lab and a boxer there when got there and, of course, my sissy dog was scared. We played at the opposite end of the dog run because she was kind of overwhelmed. Hopefully next week will be nicer and we can make a trip to Wicker Park dog park.

Almost.

My little pup will be 5 months old next week. I can’t even believe it. It feels like I have had her forever! She’s getting huge. Last night, my sister and I had her out front in the grass and she was eating grass and gnawing on dandelions. Her legs are so short that you can barely tell she is standing up in the tall grass. She is still the other dog, Buttercup’s shadow and follows her closely. She tries herding us and my other dogs. I eventually would really like to get Edie into a agility class because I think she would have an blast. She  runs around the yard and driveway at full speed, dashing under and around the cars and stuff in yard. She’s pretty hilarious. When she gets excited, she tries to wag her tail but she doesn’t really have one, so it’s more of a butt wiggle. She loves boyfriend so much and freaks out when she sees him. We are going to take her to a dog park, hopefully, sometime this week. Also, we are going to try to have a play date with his beagle. I’m hoping they like each other! Enough rambling…on to the cute!

My little Edie is almost 4 months old. I can’t believe she has been home for a little over a month.  She is slowly losing all her puppy fluff and getting her big girl coat. She is still soft and fluffy, but is just isn’t the same. Edie also got huge! She’s getting so big, she’s almost not a puppy anymore. She has quite the personality. She loves to cuddle, but only on her terms. She let’s you know when she doesn’t like something! I buy her all kinds of toys, but her favorites are empty water bottles and Tupperwear container tops. She likes to dig in her water bowl and make a big mess. I still need to get that on video because it’s hilarious. She is so determined.

I don’t feel like writing so I’m using puppy filler. As I said before, if you hate puppies - you have no soul. So keep on moving!

I’m Edie.

At 10:30 this morning, Edie and I walked in to the local Petsmart for our second day of puppy kindergarten. Armed with my clicker and bag of pup treats, we were ready for anything…well, except for the mob of people that descended upon little Edie right as we walked it. About 5 people, a family of 3 and two workers, rushed us as soon as we walked in, not even 5 feet past the door way. After about ten minutes of letting them love on my pup, I tried to make my way in the store and oh, wait…more people. I got stopped at least 10 times, while waiting for class to start. It was like Britney swarmed by paparazzi, except no cameras and Edie has better hair.

Then comes up a little baby girl, toddling up to Edie and calling her a “baby” and I pick up my pup, so she can pet her and then I feel wet.

Pupperoo got scared of the baby and took it out on my pants.

Thankfully, it wasn’t a lot. Off we went to the bathroom and I cleaned up as best as I could. Now I’m ready to sit in class for an hour with a big wet mark on my thigh. Awesome. I practically ran from the bathroom across the store to the training area, shouting, “Thanks!” to the “OMG she’s so cute!”s as I pushed past trying to the avoid the “can I pet her?”s, because I was not trying to get peed on again.

New puppies are killer on my wardrobe.

Edie is quite smart and picks up new things quick. The other puppies are doing great too. There is a Chow Chow named Tater Tot, a Miniature Australian Shepard named Grace and a German Shepard mix named Faith. Faith really isn’t a puppy and is HUGE. I’m not really sure why she is in our puppy class, as it is only until 9 months old but whatever. I’m really looking forward to it each week now. Grace and Edie are the best of friends and would play all class if we let them. I’m going to try to get it on video next week. Tater Tot and Faith are a little bigger and want to play too, but always end up scaring the little ones.

Here is Tater Tot, Edie’s classmate. Cute, isn’t she?
