 Party in the RV!!  11 people, 3 pups, and me!!!

Whew!!!  We left New York today for Gettysburg, Pa.  Time for some R&R!!!!

I've been so busy,-it's a hard life for a pup!!!  After leaving Berwick, Maine-we arrived in West Willington, CT.  We saw our family, met some new friends,-and some of my mom's guide pups.  Then-I went to a party, where there were LOTS of guide dogs and fosters!  It was SO much fun!!  But something bad happened to me,-I got attacked by a boxer/pitbull.  I screamed and screamed for the dog to let me loose.  My dad finally pried me out of the dogs mouth, and I took off and ran!!  My Auntie Karen took off running after me, and scooped me up.  I was hurt and shaking,-and my mom was terrified.  After I calmed down, I enjoyed the rest of the party.  The next day, however,-I was hurting a lot,-my neck was soaking wet, and I had a very big lump.  Off to the ER vet we went.  I had a bad puncture wound into the tissue.  The vet fixed me all up,-and  now I just have a little lump.  It hurt a WHOLE lot at the vet, tho.  He thought giving me a cookie would make me forgive him.  I think it was more like a 2 cookie visit!!   So-I had to go to the Freedom Open House with a shaved spot on my beautiful black fur!!  The Open Kennel was a blast,-I made tons of friends.  There were several of my friends from CT. that came to New York to pick up a pup from the 'V' litter,  everyone was so excited!!  It was great fun!!!  I loved seeing my first home, and Eric and Sharon.  I was good-and I didn't jump on them!!  Freedom is a wonderful organization, and I am so proud to be their puppy!!  Later on, all of our friends gathered in our RV, and we had a blast!!

Now, -I am in Gettysburg, relaxing from all my travels!!  I think my training is coming along well.  My mom finally convinced me that jumping on the sofa and bed isn't a good thing,-I don't bark,-and I LOVE kids!!  It's really great fun being me!!!
