My Birthday!!

Well, Ms. Beth has been super busy and she hasn't been posting a lot about me on the blog, but that doesn't mean that she hasn't been doing things with me!!! Since my last post, I've completed my first basic obedience course, and now I'm in training to earn my AKC Canine Good Citizens Certificate. Will have more information about that in the near future!!

October 20th was my birthday, and Ms. Beth took me to Pupcakes! Pupcakes is a fun doggie shop in the 5 Points area of Columbia. While visiting Pupcakes, I met my first doggie pirate! Arghhh!! http://www.pupcakespetboutique.com/

After selecting a fun Halloween treat, I accompanied Ms. Beth and her friend Erin for lunch at Yesterday's resturant where they have outside seating. The waiter even brought me my own bowl of water! While having lunch there, I hung out under Ms. Beth's chair and just took it all in. At one point it was very exciting because a big firetruck came by. Ms. Beth said she was super proud of me because I didn't miss a beat..... just took it all in stride. I figured if she wasn't worried, why should I be worried???

I also go to experience my first Halloween with Trick-or-Treaters! There were lots of visitors in all shapes and sizes! I accompanied Ms. Beth to the door everytime so that I could view all of the creative costumes. At one point, I decided that I would venture off down the street with the Trick-or-Treaters, but Ms. Beth disagreed and called me back to stay with her. Maybe next year I can go Trick or Treating too!!!!

Right now, I've got to get to bed because Ms. Beth has entered us in the 4 mile, First Annual Hill's Healthier Pet Trot in Columbia! The "race" starts at 8:00 am, so we'll have to be there early. For more information about this great new event, check out: http://governorscupsc.org/PDFs/2009HealthierPetTrot.pdf

All in all, we've been busy, and will continue to busy for the rest of the Fall season. I will try to get Ms. Beth to post pictures of the Pet Trot as soon as I can ;)
