Spencer's diary : I am almost 10 months old, and I am growing up! I have learned a lot growing up, especially in the last month. I started marking on our daily walks, and I have started lifting my leg when I pee. I am also more interested in the pretty golden retrievers in my class. Mom also said that I am not chewing up her pillows as much (for now?).
I have a big sister Sophie, who always watches over me. She taught me a lot of things, including lifting my leg when I pee. I am still scared of a lot of things, including going to the vet, and taking a bath. I am also scared of things that I have not seen before. I saw a fire hydrant along our walk one morning and I started barking, then Sophie told me that I only have to bark at things that moves. Good advice.
I got into my first big trouble a couple of weeks ago. Mom was preparing our dinner, and while waiting for the chicken on the grill outside, she went upstairs to feed my feline siblings. Well, I was really hungry, so I got up the counter and grabbed my bowl of food. It fell and smashed to pieces and all the food was on the floor. Sophie and I started eating and mom was screaming at us. Sophie knew we were in trouble and she went hiding in her crate. I looked at mom and I knew I was in trouble. Sophie told me that we have to lick her when we get in trouble so she will not get mad anymore. So now I learn one more thing.
I started agility classes about 2 months ago, and I have learned all the equipment except the teeter. I am just afraid. I am afraid of the weaves too, but one night, mom brought Tilapia as my treat. I was desperate since I love fish very much, so I was just being brave and went through the weaves. All the other dogs in the class are older than me and I just stood and watch sometimes. But I love activities, anything is better than sitting at home.
I think I am a big boy now because I no longer chase Sammy. I still want to play, but when I nip at Sammy's behind, he gets upset. Sammy likes me a lot, he rub against me and wants to cuddle. He also thinks he is a German shepherd. He hang around us and sleeps with us.
