Open House!

Well, most of this post will revolve around Open House...But I have some other things to tell you first!

Well, June eighth, (Day before Open House) I went for a REALLY long walk, played with my neighbors puppy, and did LOTS of obedience training. (I think my mom was in a conspiracy to tire me out or something.) Then I saw WHY she was tiring me out. She was leaving me HOME with my AUNT, while she went off to a party! I think that's hardly fair. When she came home, she brought a friend...A puppy crazy friend! Her name is Rebekah, and she raised a poodle before, but the poodle died a few days before she was eighteen months. Rebekah's thinking of raising again, a labradoodle this time. Anyway, my mom and Rebekah took me for walks, did training, and tired me out AGAIN. Then we went to bed.

When we woke up, my mom gave me a really good brushing, took me for another walk, (Hey, I'm starting to see a pattern here!!) and then my mom and Rebekah got ready. Then Mary Lou came and picked us up. I just started to sleep in the car, when mom woke me up. We were at GDA! There were ALOT more puppies than usual...There were about 130 puppies! My brother Anakin was there, and my sisters Ella and Avelon. Anakin is the biggest one in our litter. At first, we just visited with everyone. Then we went to get our number for the puppy trials. I was number sixty-nine. Then we walked around at the silent auction, (And talking to more people.) We ran into Harley's puppy raiser, and she told us that I am sponsored by the same people that Harley is sponsered by. They told us that they were at Open House, so from then on, we kept our eye out. After shopping some more, and bidding on some items, we ran into them! They told us that the reason they named me Blitz, is because the husband used to be in the military in Germany, and he had a working dog named Blitz. (German Shepherd) He even has a tattoo that says Blitz on it! I am their ninth puppy that they're sponsoring, and they have tried to name every one Blitz, but GDA has always turned them down. And then this time, they told them the story about his dog Blitz, so GDA let them. We first saw them when we were in line waiting to go through the puppy trials. So they got to watch me do it! I did good with most of it, except for the open staircases, (Which were both open AND slippery!) I did GREAT with the hotdog plants, only glanced at the mirror, but then the bubbles I got a little distracted on. Then the BIG clown, I was interested in, but wasn't scared. Then we walked down to the vet-tables, and a lady looked at my ears, teeth, paws, and eyes. Then we got on the GDA bus, and I sat on the floor really nice, while some other puppies got on and off. Then we went back to where my sponsors were waiting. Ella was there too! I played with Ella for a bit, but then got tired and fell asleep next to her. Here's a picture!

My sponsors told my mom that they would stay with me, and that she could go eat. I slept the WHOLE time, and was still in the same position when my mom got back. When I woke up, my sponsors son/grandson held me. Here's a picture!

And then my sponsor held me!

Then my mommy went to the merchandise table and bought a blanket (With two yellow labs on it) and a mug with Black Lab's on it. (She has the same cup with yellow labs, so she has the yellow lab cup represent me, and the black lab on represent Jaylie.) Then she went over to the silent auction (I was with my sponsors) and bid on some more baskets. She won one of them!! It has a TON of toys in it, and picture frames, a blanket, grooming supplies, ALOT of stuff. We started getting ready to go, but then my mom saw Windsor, and she HAD to go over and say hi. He was VERY happy to see mommy, and was wiggling all over. Then we said goodbye to everyone, and took the auction basket over to the regifting-basket area. They took all our stuff out of the basket and put it all in bags, so they could have the basket for next years auction.

After the auction, we went to my mom's friends house, because she just got a puppy! Her name is Lacey, and she's a Blue Heeler. Here's a picture of Abby, (Lacey's mom) Kasey, Lacey and I.

Abby and Lacey ended up coming over to our house and spending the night. So, I was VERY tired, since I had such a big day.

This morning I was being kind of mischievious. First, my mom wasn't paying enough attention to me, so to get her attention, I went into my kennel, (The door was open) and started barking because I wanted out. Even though the door was still open. My mom thought it was funny! And then when she fed me, I got bored with waiting, so to get mom's attention, I started barking at my food. Then I decided I wanted to be a black lab, so I went into the fireplace. Here's a picture!

Now here's one just because I'm cute!!
