Yesterday I learned a lot at home about gardening! I was not afraid of the lawnmower or the weed wacker. Mama said that is not necessarily a good thing, but she was still impressed. She says I am shaping up to be a pretty brave puppy. I got to meet "Annie" from Annie's Garden Grooming. She held me and I liked Frank and Brett too. I've been really busy working on my job around here, which is to make sure that my cousin Alta does not get bored. I have to work really hard at this job- playing with her all the time. Sometimes she just can't take anymore, so mama takes me to her office, where I use my free time to sleep. Today, before papa went to work I had a not so fun experience. Mama and papa held me and cut my nails. At first I tried to resist and papa gave me duck flavored treats. But then, since I decided I wouldn't let them do the last foot, papa told me I have to learn the lesson of the Borg, "Resistance is Futile". He just held me firm and no treats. So, I gave in, held still and mama clipped the last foot. Then I got a jackpot! Been working on my clicker training too. I like jackpots.
