Adventures

Since EVMS got out a 11:15 on Friday we decided to go check out the extreme makeover in stagecoach. DeSoto was not aloud to go so, he got to go home with Andrew for a couple of hours. So that was a good experience for him because he got to ride the bus home a meet a little dog that is smaller than him. From what Andrew said DeSoto liked Roxy and had to problems on the bus. The extreme makeover was so much fun we got to see the family get out of the limo and see the house. We were out there for about 4 hours just waiting for the family to even get there. I think they are going to have some issues in stagecoach because you know stagecoach it is mostly trailer homes and then there is this beautiful house. So we will see what happens. That is about it besides freezing for 4 houses. Now back to DeSoto he went to school all week he was great as always! Here are some pictures of my big 6 month old! Oh and if anyone knows where I can buy I leather leash please let my know! DeSoto decided to chew some of it in class this week!

Update

Sorry about the long time between posts! Let`s start with last week. Monday there was school what a bummer but oh well, Desoto went and was great. He has now got the approval to go to school whenever so that is nice. We also went up to Cabels`s again. That is such a neat store for puppies I think because of all the exhibits they have! We had a puppy meeting on Monday, which we introduced the dogs the Rally-O. I have herd about is because my mom started doing it with Dietrich but then found out she did not have the time. I thought DeSoto did great, he did a few of the obstacles off leash but then got distracted. That is pretty much it for last week. Today DeSoto went to school and decided is 1 period his leash needed to be trimmed so he took matters into his own hands and did it him self. Which I thought he was chewing on his bone, so that means I just have to pay more attention to him in class. Lets just say I was not happy when I found out what happened! Hope everyone has a great week!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year!! I am not looking forward to school and I don`t think DeSoto is either. Since we got lots of gift cards and money for Christmas we went shopping. DeSoto was well behaved. He is also quite a walker these days. He is quite a hiker we take him and the Shepherds and he is a champ and walks the 2 miles no problem. I am so happy he finally decided walking is not half bad! Break has been pretty boring for DeSoto and I. So there is not much really to post. So until school starts my blog will be pretty boring. DeSoto and this cool statue at the Summit Mall. I was bummed the water fall was not working (but it is winter duh)!
DeSoto loves the snow he likes to eat it! I wanted to get a video clip of him running around the yard but every time I got the camera out he would stop and stare at me. I will try to get it sometime!
My big 5 month old! It is so hard to believe that he is almost 6 months old! He will be getting neutered in January so that will be nice.

Cabela`s

Well today my family & I went to Cabela`s because my sister got a gift card for Christmas to there. It was really crowded so I managed to get a few pictures. I was a really neat experience for DeSoto because he thought all the animals were real and kept eyeing them. After Cabela`s we headed down to the Summit Mall. DeSoto is a awesome walker these days and will be ready to go to High School with Emily or Kelsey soon! We had a great Christmas. DeSoto got some new bones & toys. I got some cute pictures of him with rapping paper all over him but I can`t find that memory card right now. So next post!

Christmas is Finally Close!!!

Gum on DeSoto!

This weekend we went and saw Alvin & the Chipmunks it was a good movie. DeSoto was well behaved for the most part. When I got home I noticed something on DeSoto`s hip so I checked it out and it was gum! Thankfully is was not that much. I had to cut it out and DeSoto did not want it gone because he liked sitting there and licking. Maybe that is why he was better in the movies than usually! Ha Ha! Monday he went to school with me and that night we had our Christmas Desserts & Scrapbooking Class! I got one page down for DeSoto`s book that night but I was in a rush so it is not as nice as the others, but oh well. Good job Kelsey and Emily they did a great job putting it all together. This week has been pretty boring but I cannot wait till Christmas! It turns out we are not going to my Aunts house in California because she got really sick, so that is a bummer. But the good part is I get to spend Christmas with all my puppies! Since tomorrow we are not going to be doing much in school my mom is thinking about taking me out of school so we can go sledding! So I am happy about that!

The Holiday Season is Here!

So tonight we put up our Christmas Tree and decorated it. I was very pleased with DeSoto because he did not try and lunge at all the ornaments and lights on the tree. I can`t believe Christmas is less than two weeks away and we only have 7 more days of school until break. Wahoo!! It is hard to believe that DeSoto is already 5 months it seems like just yesterday I was driving down to Guide Dogs to pick him up. Now for a quick update DeSoto is allowed to go to school again. I am starting him out with 2-3 days a school a week for a while than we will work for all week. This weekend has been pretty boring for the most part. Saturday we went shopping at Kohl's for Christmas Presents and to just look. Sunday we went Christmas Tree cutting. Monday was DeSoto`s first day back to school after several months of being with my mom which I think helped! When DeSoto went with Dana DeSoto played with her dog Bear and I guess Bear got mad and left a little puncture in his mouth. So Claudia said we should take him to the vet to be safe, so that is what we did. Tuesday is when my mom took him in and they said if it does not heal in a week or so they are going to put him under and pop it. So he is on some medication right now. They said it is like a pimple. Today and tomorrow he is going to school. I am not planning on taking him Friday because it is our schools " Dress To Impress Dance" I am not planning on dressing up, well I am if you call jeans and a shirt dressed up. This is what Dietrich thought of Pictures

Snow

Today my family and I went Christmas Tree cutting. DeSoto and Dietrich had so much fun running in the snow! At first DeSoto was not sure but after a few minutes he loved it. Tonight my Grandma, Grandpa, my sister, DeSoto, and I are going to see my sister perform in High School Musical at the Children`s Museum. It was really good. (I saw it last week too) I am hoping DeSoto can go to school a few days this week since he is walking 90% of the time now. Which is less frustrating. So I better go finish laundry and other various things before school tomorrow. Dietrich Having A Blast!!

Everything is still the same as last week but I still feeled like posting it! Well last Thursday DeSoto was with Dana because my parents went to Arizona to pick up our new truck. then at the meeting me and Emily traded dogs until today. Suede is a lot different than DeSoto. She is a lot calmer in the house than DeSoto is. (that`s what I think) Suede actucally walks! Ha Ha! Suede went to school with me, out to dinner, and babysitting. It was nice to have a break from DeSoto and Emily`s family had a lot of fun with him. Tonight my Mom and I are going to go babysit Ryder a baby my mom used to watch. I do not know if DeSoto will come with us because they have dogs and I really do not know if they are friendly. So he will stay here with my dad and sisters if he can`t came. Also Saturday or Sunday we are going Christmas Tree Cutting. I can`t wait to see what DeSoto does in deep snow. I think he will love it! Well anyway here are some picures of DeSoto and Suede!

Happy Holidays!
