Days 4,5,6 & 7.

Well, I am sorry I have taken so long to post again. My whole family managed to get really sick with stomach flu...Cailean went first and then Carson, Mom, and me. Yuck. But all that really took up our time! Now we are all feeling better!! Donut wasn't very happy about us being sick, tho. He likes to be busy, just like me.
Ok, Day 4. Just me, Carson, Dad, & Donut went to training in the morning. We got to go "Tracking". It is a game like hide and seek. I get to hide and Donut comes to find me! I like dat game! And so does Donut, especially since he gets lots of hot dogs when he finds me!! The afternoon, we went back to 4 Paws with Mom, Donut and me. Jennifer showed us more obedience things, behavior mod stuff and all of Donut's tricks! He is really cool.

Day 5. Saturday. Today was the day that convinced mom that Jeremy is absolutely nuts. We went tracking at the park in the morning...it was COLD! I stayed in the car til it was my turn playing my gameboy and torturing my sister. Then I got to go hide with Dad and Carson. Mom got to hold onto Donut's flexi lead while he came to find me. She says Donut is FAST. She also says he is very smart and can find me quick. I think Donut just likes the hot dogs that i get to carry. But, what convinced mom that Jeremy is nuts, was for the afternoon, we went to the MALL. and not to shop either. We went there so that Donut could track me at the mall. It was a very crowded place on a Saturday....BEFORE Christmas!! Donut did ok, Mom had to leave before it was my turn cuz she and Carson got sick. When Dad and I got back to the room, I got sick too. Then Dad, but he didn't get as sick as the rest of us. OH! A really great thing happened! I had a seizure. Mom and Dad called Donut to come while I was having it and had Donut "Speak". That is his signal to anyone that i am having or going to have a seizure. Then when it was over, Donut stayed with me for a few hours. That was nice.

Day 6. Sunday. I stayed home with Carson and Dad, cuz we were all sick. Mom wasn't feeling that much better, but she really felt that training was important to be at so she and Cailean and Donut went. It was more laid back day at 4 Paws. The morning was spent on all the commands that Donut knows and the afternoon was all about how to take care of Donut. Grooming, nail trimming, bathing, etc. Mom says that there are professionals who know that stuff....she will take Donut there.

Day 7. Monday. Optional training day. We went to 4 paws for the morning to work on obedience and other stuff. In the afternoon, we went to track again. It was just us and Jasmine and her dad. Her girl, Natalie, was sick today. I got to hide two times. Once with Dad and once with Mom. Donut found us VERY fast!! Which was good, cuz today was the coldest day yet. After training, we had to go to court with Mom. She got to meet some of Xenia's finest in one of their speed traps. The judge let her go with a MUCH lower fine, cuz Donut and I were there and being such good boys. We took lots of pictures today! Look in the next post to see them!! Thanks for keeping up with me and leaving me messages, I really like them. Love, Colin
