Double Digits

On Wednesday Focus turned 10 months!! I can`t believe that we have been together for 8 months! He has matured so much since 8 months ago. It is hard to believe that I have roughly 5 months left with him.

The past week has been pretty boring, school, meetings, grocery shopping, etc. He did wear his green attire on St. Patty`s Day and I wore a green shirt. Focus is such an awesome dog to take to school that I forget sometimes he is there! I would like to trade with someone in our club that attends High School, so Focus could get a High School atmosphere experience, and I would be interested to see how he does with longer class periods. So hopefully that`ll happen before he is recalled. Besides school, Focus is usually always good when we go places, it is so nice to have a puppy that is a breeze to take places! Don`t get me wrong though, Focus is not a perfect puppy, he is great when his jacket is on but when it comes off, he is another dog.

Hopefully on Monday I will be able to take pictures of Focus at school so I can post about 'A Day in the Life.' So sometime this week there should be a post regarding that. Other then school and normal errands there is nothing really to post about now or in the weeks to come. But for now, enjoy the pictures of the big bot!

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!

Reno Outing

Today was our club`s annual meeting in Reno, where we ride the city bus downtown and walk through downtown Reno. All of our pups at are a great age to do this outing, (except Patrice who did not come) so it was the perfect time to do it. Oh course all the puppies were well behaved on the bus, downtown, and in the mall. Focus was great and acted like he done this even lots of times. Focus on the bus.

Finnian enjoying the outside.

We did puppy trading so I got Burgess. Burgess is the moose of the group and is in an XL jacket.

Tahoe and Amato looking at the ducks in the river.

Focus was very focused on all the ducks.

Overall the meeting was very enjoyable and great for the dogs. Focus will be 10 months on Wednesday which is hard to believe but I guess they have to grow up eventually. The last few weeks have been not very interesting. Focus went with Becky (one of our leaders) on Thursday because I had testing and it would not have been reasonable to take a dog. I got a great report though he never wanted to go potty for her for hours on end, but eventually did. So I guess that means Focus needs to be traded. Last Tuesday my mom and I went shopping at the mall just to waste some time, and Focus was great and enjoyed getting all the exercise. I think other then shopping at the mall and Focus going with Becky, that`s about all I have to update on.
