Hi all! Well, I am officially done with potty training. I now go to the door every single time I want out! Momma says she's proud of me. She says that in a couple months, if I continue to be as good as I am, she will start letting me sleep on a tie-down at night, and then eventually, just off leash! Oh! And I lost a tooth yesterday! Momma's letting me chew on frozen toys and ice cubes alot lately. It feels SO nice! My gums hurt really bad!

I went to my second week of obedience class tonight! We are allowed to socialize with all the other puppies before we start with the obedience, but I like sniffing the bushes and wagging my tail at the people more than I like playing with other puppies. Then, as soon as they were done playing (And I was done sniffing) we started on the obedience. There was five other puppies there...A Maltese, a Jackrussel, a Pit Bull, a Lab (She looked just like me!) and a Beagle. First, we did some heeling around cones. That was easy! Then we all sat and stayed. (Well, I sat and stayed, the other puppies had their butt's pushed down by their owners, and held still while their owners hands were on their backs!) I stayed for almost thirty seconds, and then my mommy said "OK!!!" After that, I went around the circle heeling next to mommy, and then we stopped at a puppy, and mommy told me to sit. I did, (Of course) and then mommy gave a treat to the other puppy, and the other puppies owner gave a treat to me. But when I picked my butt up off the ground, she didn't give it to me! I don't think that's fair. Then we did the same thing with all the other puppies. Then we worked on down/stays, and then some more heeling, and then we all got off leash again so we could play. Once again, I wasn't interested in the other puppies, so I started walking up the A-Frame in the yard. The teacher told mommy that she usually has to use all sorts of lures to get dogs to go up that thing, but I just started on my own. Mom's very proud of me.

Next week there's going to be two more puppies...A Chihuahua and a Brittany! They were there last week too. I really liked the Brittany! She's the only one I play with.

Well, I added more pictures so you can see how big I'm getting!

Does anyone know how to TAG someone onto my blog? I have alot of friends, and I see that they tag me, but I can't figure out how to do it! Can somebody help?? I'm only ten weeks old!!

Here's my momma and I... Here's me, doin' a REALLY nice down.







Okay, my mommy FINALLY got those


pictures off of the camera, so, here they are!

Just an update...

Hi guys! Blitz the pup here!

Well, I'm just giving y'all an update on my life. I haven't done anything major, just a bunch of little things, so I'm putting them all into one post.

Okay, so, lets start with what happened on wednesday...Okay, so, first off, I had to get up WAAAY early...I hate that. I know, as a puppy, I should be waking my mom up at five o'clock, but I like to sleep in. I am NOT a morning dog. Anyway, my mom told me we were going to a "school." She said that was where a bunch of kids got together and learned. Well, I wasn't that excited about it...But when we got there I saw another DOG there! And guess what! It had a yellow and black jacket on JUST LIKE ME!! Man, was I excited. I thought I would be alone with all those kids. And then soon, about NINE other puppies in training came. Before all the kids came, we had a group photo. (I'll post it later...I don't know how to handle the camera, so I have to wait for mommy to do it.)And then, we all sat next to our person, (me next to mommy, of course) and then the kids started coming. All the other puppies were at least ten months older than me, so you can understand why the kids liked me the best. I'm so cute! But they were all good and didn't pet me while the speaker was speaking. He was talking to them all about what I do right now and what I will do when I'm older. And then they showed a video about Guide Dogs of America...Every time a cute puppy came on (like me) all the kids (About a hundred) would go, "AAAAAHHHH!!!" I was trying to sleep, but they kept waking me up every time a pup came on! And then when the movie was over, the speaker told the kids that they could ask questions. Then it was lunch time for the kids, and all us dogs went out so they could pet us. There were two or three kids around each of the other puppies, but there were AT LEAST thirty around me. Then we went back in the room and did the WHOLE thing over again, only with older kids.

So, then my mom took me home, and I took about a THREE HOUR nap, (That was a big outing for me!!) And then my mom told me that she had to pack up all my stuff...I was going to spend the night at a friends house! First we got a carpool to Souplantation, where some people were going to eat before the puppy meeting. On the way there, I got to play with my friend, Oceana! Man, she can play hard! I had to crawl up on mommy's lap, because she got a little too rough for me. Then we went to the Souplantation, and ate...Well, my mommy ate, and there were PLENTY of people that wanted to hold me! Then we left to go to the puppy meeting. First, all the humans talked about problems that their certain puppies were having. That was boring, so I tried eating a pinecone. But, my mom said no, so I had to stop. And then we did some obedience! First, we all did sit/stays, (I did great, of course...There was a FIVE YEAR OLD dog next to me, and he was more naughty than me!) Then, we did down/stays. I did great on that, too! And then we did some heeling...I had to walk past all my friends without playing with them! That was hard. I tried getting to one of my friends, but my mommy pulled me back, so I stayed next to her the rest of the time. After that, we played "tic-tac-toe," with sits and downs instead of x's and o's. If you broke your stay, you had to leave the playing board. I broke it twice, but I stayed for about forty-five seconds first. Mommy said that I did really good for a nine week old puppy! I'm glad.

By that time, I was EXHAUSTED. My mommy took me potty, (Man was I glad...I had been holding it for SOO long!) and then she was talking and talking and talking to four other people! My goodness. And then, she went SHOPPING with three other puppies and their raisers. By that time, I just zonked out on the floor, and didn't even open my eyes when Oceana pawed at my head. Then, it was time to go, (Mommy carried me...I couldn't even get up I was so tired.) Then I went home with someone else! Mommy said I was getting "puppy-sat..." whatever that means. But I had fun. I didn't have ANY accidents while with my puppy sitter!

Well, I guess this turned into a longer blog than I thought it would! Bye!

Hi! My name's Blitz!

Hello all! My name is Blitz, and I am a dog! (Well, actually, I'm still a puppy...) I am nine weeks old, and my mom says that I'm going to be something called, a "Guide Dog." Does anyone know what that means? I went to a "graduation" of guide dogs, and mom pointed out some guides to me, but I was too sleepy to pay attention to what they were. All I saw was a dog with a weird handle on top.

Anyway, my mom is "training" me. That means that if I do something good, I get a treat. Hey, I could get used to this "training" thing! All I have to do is put my butt down on the ground after she says "sit" and then I get a kibble! This thing's easy. But there is one thing...I don't know why, but mommy says that I can't go potty on the carpet. She says I can only go outside! Well, that doesn't make much sense, does it? When I do go potty inside, I get yelled at, and then I get taken outside, and when I go outside, I get alot of "Good boy Blitz!! What a good boy you are!" I don't know what's so cool about that though...I've been doing it since I was born.

When my mommy takes me places, she puts this annoying "bib" thing on me. She says that it's so that people will let me come into the store. I don't like it though. I've only gone to two places so far...home depot one time, and borders the other time. I slept through both though.

Anyway, that's my introduction! As I get more active in what I do, I will post more. Thanks!
