I had a busy Memorial Day weekend. First I met a new friend in my building, a bulldog named Bob.
Then Boodie let me try on her shirt from the Perkendahl Canine Academy. When I have mastered all my puppy skills I hope to join Boodie at her school and have my own shirt.
Then Mama gave me a bath and I sat in my box with all my toys to relax. I hate a bath.

What do you think? I lost a tooth! It came out while I was playing tug-o-war with my throwing ring and Mama. It hurt and I was surprised to see my little tooth on the floor. Boodie said that we will save it for the K9 Fairy. When we have nine puppy teeth we will put them under the pad in my bed and the K9 Fairy will leave a surprise.

Today Mama cooked just for us dogs. She made hamburger meat and chicken and rice and yams and carrots and smushed things together in a noisy machine until it was like dog food in the can. But it tasted better. I like the hamburger kind best, but Boodie liked the chicken.
I like Mama's food even better than Wellness Puppy.
I still eat some Wellness Puppy Kibble for the crunch.

I went to a street fair with Mama.I met a lot of new friends. Here I am with Lady Gabriella and another dog who didn't say his name. There was a lot of food being cooked but Mama said No.

Here is my new friend Lady Gabriella, aka Gabby who is a rat terrier. She is a nice dog and didn't grrr at me even though I am a puppy and a lot of dogs grrr at me.

I pee-peed on the ground outside today. Mama was very happy.

Mama took me to a place called Walter's where a man gave me a bath and pulled and cut at my hair until I looked like this. I wanted to go home to Mama but I couldn't. Then Mama came and got me. I ate a big bowl of Wellness and chewed on my bone for a long time.

Mama took a video of my first day on a leash, down by St. Vartan's Park.
Then I went for a long walk to 39th and Park Avenue.
