new friends
lady jami brought me to work with her and i got to meet my first child! at first i didn't know if little lauren was another puppy or if she was a little person. when she started talking to her mommy lucy it was obvious that she was a little girl. i liked her so much, we were friends right away! lauren kept smiling and hugging me, so i gave her lots of kisses. hopefully lauren and i will get a chance to hang out again soon.

thanksgiving!
we drove south on the infamous 405 freeway until daddy got angry about the sea of red lights in front of him. we got off of this freeway and drove on a really pretty street they called the PCH. this was really fun because they pulled the glass off the side of the car and i could smell everything we were driving past! i could smell the sand and salt so i had a feeling we were close to a beach like the one i was at a couple days ago.
we stopped in front of a pretty house with two blue cars in front, daddy and mommy jumped out of the escape and said hi to a giant man named pete. daddy said pete is his stepdad, does that mean they walk up him? they had a nice front yard with thick green grass and these really fun wood chips! sitting in the middle was this big yellow thing that smelled so tasty, i had to discover what it was... first i crept up on it and took a big sniff. the smell was so strong that i jumped back. what is this thing? i barked at it and it didn't even move, then i jumped on it and it started rolling down the yard. are you alive? finally i got the courage to walk back up to the yellow thing and take a bite. when i broke through the skin it tasted sweet and bitter. mommy and daddy were watching me and that is when they said "it's a lemon little helix, do you like it?!" i kept licking myself and i could only taste that lemon, wow, it tasted so strong!
then the giant man pete invited us into his home and i started another adventure. a pretty lady they called g-ma was holding a big dog on a rope. this was the first time that i met a german shepherd dog, her name is maya and she belongs to g-ma and pete. maya really loves mister damien so i think she decided i was ok as well. while i was playing with maya i could hear another big dog in the house, he sounded very protective. g-ma and pete said that this dog, deimus, was all talk and no bite but mister damien and lady jami were a bit worried about him so i didn't meet him today. there was so much to explore and smell in the house that i quickly forgot about the other dog. after we discovered everything in the house, g-ma let me out into a big park that they called the back yard. my new friend maya the german shepherd dog followed me out and we ran around the park for a while. after that i was so tired that i was falling asleep on the cool tile in g-ma's kitchen. mommy walked up with my blue bed and i was so excited that i crawled in and took a long nap.
we had one last adventure to go on today... daddy and mommy loaded me back in to the escape and we drove back to the beach. we made a pit stop at a nice place called kalani's where mommy got her coffee. when they let me out of the car we were at another park with a pretty view of the ocean. i ran around with my orange toy and smelled everything! mister damien and lady jami got some treats and we started working on my tricks. i am learning 'come', 'sit', 'down' and 'fetch'. i am not very good yet but daddy said i am still young and i am progressing well.

day at the beach
jami was excited because it was so pretty out and they had decided to take me to a place they called beach. the beach was most excellent, mom and dad said we are lucky to have a beach that is kept clean so we could play on it. daddy brought one of my favoritest toys so we could fetch. mom was carrying the flashy thing that captures our adventures. the sand was so warm, i kept digging my nose in it. i was really hungry so i decided to try the sand out. it was pretty good, but it seemed daddy wasn't happy with me eating it. he scooped me up and held me upside down to get the sand out of my face!
here are a few more pictures of us at the beach:

a couple of firsts
here's a picture of me when I arrived! lady jami, i have decided to call her 'mommy', put my new collar on and we went for a stroll in the grass outside the pickup area. mister damien took the afternoon away from work to get me, so we went to get smoothies with jami before she had to go back to work. it seems mommy and daddy, i decided mister damien was 'daddy', were as excited to see me as i was to see them. we had a couple photo shoots during the evening, and then this thing called jetlag caught me... i zonked out near a leg and next thing i knew it was morning and i was waking up in my cozy crate.
the day after we met my new parents took me to meet a really nice lady named dr. karen shane, she is going to be my new vet. it's her job to give my parents and i tips on how to help me grow
up to be happy and healthy. while we were waiting they gave me this really tasty stick thingy, yum! i couldn't keep my paws off of it, i think i chewed the whole thing up right there in the office. after dr. shane checked me out one of her helpers put some stuff in one of my ears and then gave me some yucky tasting medicine stuff. after that mommy and daddy took me home and we hung out for the rest of the day.
i woke myself up crying! i missed my brothers and sisters and i was having nightmares about the airplane, i felt bad for keeping mommy and daddy up all night... i am going to try and sleep better tonight.
