Sad Day

I'm sorry I have to jump ahead in time a little but yesterday was a sad day here. My big sister Bindy had to go onto her guide dog training. She had to leave us to continue her education, which one day I will be doing.

I wasn't sure what was happening but that Mommy was very upset and had these things running down her face at times. Everyone was giving her hugs and kisses and I was told to "Say goodbye to Bindy". I didn't know what that meant so I just attacked her as I always did and we played! Mom then took me and put me in my bed and the next thing I know, everyone was going out the door and all my humans came back but no Bindy :( Everyone was so sad but I got so many kisses and hugs and it was nice not having the "Moose" around to butt in. I spent most of today looking for her but she is not here. Maybe she will be back at some point but I had a great day playing with everyone and helping with yard work!!
Here are some pictures my Mom has taken of Bindy as she grew up:





 We all wish you well Bindy and I hope I can be half the dog you are!! You taught me well and I will use everything!! I am sure if I forget something Mom will remind me ;)  I will take care of the family for you and I will love them just as you did.
 I PROMISE!!!

Thank you Sylvie for my first comment!!! ;)


After such a busy weekend getting to know everyone and having lots of fun playing with Bindy and my other litter mate, Thomas, we got up Monday morning and did what we normally do but then I was put in my bed pretty early. My Mom said she was taking Thomas to the bus stop and she would be back. I was NOT happy since I was playing and having too much fun!! I was put in my bed and I cried and cried but she still left. After about 10 mins she was back! Yeah!! I watched her take Bindy out to "get busy" and now I was really not happy!! She puts me in my bed early AND takes Bindy out and not me!! WHAT! But then, I watched her put Bindy back in her bed (which was only fair since I was in mine) and I heard her getting some stuff together. She then came downstairs with a bag and said to me that it was time to go. Go? Where?!? How exciting, I get to go somewhere with her!! So we went out to the car and off we went!!
After about 20 mins we arrive at a place Mom calls "Work". I'm not sure what is going on but we go up to this door and she brings me in. I met a guy named Dave who works with Mom in this big HUGE place!! Lots of stuff to look at and sniff and it has LONG walk ways that are awesome to run in!! But I'm not allowed to run down them.....darn!! Mom says I can get hurt and get into too much trouble. It smelled really different and it had lots of boxes and wood things on the ground that are great to chew on but guess what? I can't chew on those either :( After I met Dave, Mom took me into a room that was much smaller and there was a black wire thing in it, just like Bindy has! I have my own!! Mom told me that this crate is where I needed to stay. I was ok with that...at first. She put me in there and told me I was going to have to learn patience.What? What the heck is that?! I found out very quickly what that meant. I had to stay in the crate unless I had to go to the bathroom. I was not happy about that at all!!!! I again, cried and cried and cried some more. Mom then gave me a chew toy, but that didn't help for long. I tried crying again and she would tell me "good quiet". I was like NOOOOOO, I WANT OUT!!! So before I knew it, It was lunch time. Thank goodness! LUNCH!!
After lunch, I got to go outside and play for a little bit, which was awesome! We walked and ran but it ended way to soon and then we went back in and I was put back in my "bed". I was really tired from all the crying before lunch and the walking that I just crashed for a while. After I napped for a bit, I got a frozen kong thing with peanut butter and yogurt in it...can we just say YUMMMMY! Then I took another nap. Mom then comes in the room and says "It's time to go home" Not sure why, but I got very excited!! Mom packed up my bag, we said goodbye to Dave and off we went.
HOME!! Where Bindy, Thomas, Mark, Reese and Dad are....this must be home!! I was very happy to be there and see everyone!! I was a very tired little boy but I didn't let that stop me from playing with everyone....home, I like home.

This is me enjoying some sunshine at work when I had some time outside. I was kind of upset with being in my bed most of the day, so I didn't feel like smiling
