Quincy: Keeper Dog Excellent

Fun Pictures

2009-08-14T13:58:00.001-07:00

So we've had a really awesome summer! Lots of busy days, going to flyball and agility and helping mom run classes for Teacher's Pet. I'm a good demo dog in all sorts of ways! We've also helped with Teacher's Pet to run two sessions of a summer day camp where kids are matched with a shelter dog. It's the same idea with the year-round Teacher's Pet program, only it lasts for 10-12 weeks and the kids are either at-risk or in juvenile centers. We just started our first session of that and it's really fun. The kids are from Children's Village and are really great. I love going! Anyways, here are some summer pictures featuring the one and only :) Enjoy!

Macinac Island

2009-08-01T07:42:00.001-07:00

Sorry it's taken me so long to update. We just moved a couple of months ago and it took us over a month and a half to get internet :P Anyways, back in June my mom and I went up to Macinac Island to participate in the Lilac Festival with our therapy dog group. One of our friends from the group actually owns a condo on the island, so we stayed with her and a few others in the group. It was fun to be roomies for a few days :) I LOVED the island. Horses are everywhere! There are actually nor cars allowed on the island. It's likle stepping back in time! Our group participated in both the Epona and Barkus Dog and Pony parade, and won the costume contest for the third year in a row. The theme this year was 'The American Circus'. We had a ring master, a jester, a tightrope walker, a fortune teller, a lion, and I was a magician. We also represented TDI in the Grand Parade. The Lilac Festival is a pretty big deal on Macinac, so there were tons of people. I got lots of love :) Well, here are some of the pictures. You can check out my mom's blog for all of the rest. Enjoy!

LET'S GO RED WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-05-28T18:43:00.000-07:00

We are BIG Red Wings fan over here, and I am rooting for them to win the Stanley Cup :) I want to go to the parade! Pull it out guys, the Cup needs to stay in Hockeytown!!!!

Got Air?

2009-05-24T16:09:00.001-07:00

This weekend was SOOOOO exciting :D I had my very first dock diving competition. Now this is a dog sport I can really get into! I am a freak around water, and this was really no different. I jumped in a splash the first day and another the second day, including the finals :) Each splash is two jumps. On Saturday I jumped 11 feet, then 13 feet. On SUnday, I jumped 14 feet, then a wopping 17 FEET!!! I ended up being in the finals for the senior division! That's quite a rarity for dogs in their very first competition. Mom's really proud. My next events are a two-day event at River Days in Detroit, the big festival on the river. That is June 20-21. Then I have an event in Kalamazoo called Woofstock. That's a one-day event on July 18. Can't wait to see how I do then :D Enjoy the pictures!

Puppy Love

2009-02-19T22:12:00.001-08:00

Quincy and 'Puppy', his new favorite toy in the whole wide world. He adores him He carries him around the house, rolls on his back with him and does the happy-dog grunt, 'grooms' him. He's like an American Girl doll, you know how they look 'just like you' :) That's Puppy :)

A Boy and His Dog

Pampered Pooch

2009-02-03T10:06:00.000-08:00

I am one pampered pooch!! We counted, and I have 26 toys total, at least in this picture. I've gotten a few more toys since then, bringing the total to over 30! I am definitely one pampered pooch!

Balancing Act

2009-01-08T09:40:00.000-08:00

Some of the people on the puppy website posted a picture of their dog's doing this trick, and we just had to get in on the fun. Mom wasn't sure I could do it, but after a few tries it was no problem! I'm a good boy :)

All I Want For Christmas

2008-11-28T14:19:00.000-08:00

So now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, Christmas has arrived in full force. Mom and I took a walk downtown today, and all of the lights were up, decorations were everywhere... It was as if Thanksgiving came and went only so that Christmas could come... Humans are so odd. Whatever, I like Christmas. Mom put my Christmas collar on, the one with dog bones made to look like candy canes. It's quite festive, the two-leggeds get a kick out of it. We spent the better part of the day baking, some dog cookies made with cranberries left over from the holiday, some banana nut bread. I like when we bake :) Other than that and our walk, it's been pretty uneventful around here. I had a therapy dog visit a couple of weeks ago, so I have one this Tuesday. We didn't get to stay very long last time since my mom had a performance for the musical, but now that that is over we will be able to stick around. We haven't been able to take any pictures since the camera has been broken, but we are returning it soon so nice pictures should be on the rise again, soon. While we are on Thanksgiving break one of our assignments was to get our Christmas lists done. I help mom with hers and usually some of her list has to do with me. These are the things I want the most, and I might get some more if I am an especially good boy. The first picture, the 'Gourdo', looks like SO much fun in the water! But lets be honest, what isn't fun in the water? The thing underneath it is a food holder for when we go on camping and hiking trips and such. It holds 25 cups of food. Pretty nifty. The collars are from Earth Dog. They make hemp collars, I have the 'fat moe' one already, I don't know which one I want now. So many to choose from! Then I definitely want a dog pack for hiking, that would be really cool! And mom wants the collapsible crate, I don't think it's that bad, but why a crate? I like my crate at home, and that's it... Maybe that one will grow on me because it means we are going somewhere..... Well, I hope everyone had a great holiday full of yummy food and grrreat time spent with family and friends. I got some special dinner with gravy and carrots and cranberry sauce and a little turkey... Mmmm.... I am going to see my friends Flicka and Auntie Chris tomorrow for a fun play date. I love my romps with Flicka, we have so much fun together!!! I'll update soon, hopefully with pictures with some sort... Have a grrreat week! Bark to you later!

First Therapy Dog Visit and Dogs On the Diag

2008-11-01T08:20:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone! Sorry it has been a while since I updated last, but we've been pretty busy! I had my very first therapy dog visit the other day! It was so great! It was both our Halloween visit, as well as our celebration party in honor of 12 years of pet therapy at Crittenton. How awesome is that?!?! It went really well, I was a very good boy and did very well with all of the patients and staff. It was a little hectic at first with all of the people and dogs in one tiny room, but it was better at the end. I visited ICU and joint surgery recoveries. I showed off all my tricks and was especially gentle with the people in bed. Yay for me :) We took a big group picture of all of the dogs, it's down below. I got tired and rested my head, which everyone thought was quite cute. I am such a ham :P There are also a lot of pictures from Dogs on the Diag. I went to that at U of M and represented TDI. It was good to hang out with all of my old PAWS friends. Not much else has happened. My mom went to Disney World with this cancer group last week so I stayed with grandpa and Bentley. I am CRAZY there. I just like to play and I know I can get away with stuff :P Ruh-roh!Well, I'll bark to you all later!

I'm Official! (Plus Some Other Stuff, Too)

2008-10-18T12:06:00.001-07:00

I am officially a therapy dog! My paper work came in the mail just last week, and I go for my first official visit on Tuesday (will of course follow up with pictures and post later). Other than that, not much has happened. Mom has been really busy and hasn't been feeling too well. She is on a new medication that makes her feels sick and drowsy, so I have been with my grandpa a lot or with mom just chilling out. That's okay, though. I don't mind. Well, here are just a couple of random pictures. Some are of just me, others are of my doing the command "leash", and the others are of me with my friend, Moxi. Enjoy!

Quincy

I DID IT!!!!!

2008-09-21T14:21:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone! Guess what? I am officially a therapy dog now! WOO HOO>I did so good on the test! I charmed everyone there, did really well on all of the portions, and I even did a good job of leaving the french fries alone for the "leave-it" portion! I am really happy, because now I'll be able to visit at the hospital. Mom's super excited, too. Well, I'll bark to you all later!

Studying

2008-09-19T09:28:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone! Hope all is well on your side of the fence. Things are going pretty good with me. Mom is doing pretty well, although she's stayed home from school a couple times this week because of her headaches, so I've been busy keeping her company. I have been studying hard for my upcoming test on Sunday. It was supposed to be last Saterday but it was cancelled due to the torrential downpour at the time. We even drove all the way to Lansing just to turn around! Oh well. I have already passed this test, but this time it will be a little different. It is called the Canine Good Citizen test, which I passed last winter, but now if I passed I'll be able to be an official therapy dog. I have to pass so that I can start visiting Crittenton Hospital again and possibly other places as well. I am really good at making people feel better so I know this will be a good job for me. Hopefully I pass! I have also been working really hard to learn some service dog tasks so I can help me grandma. Right now I am learning how to retrieve things. I am getting really good at it! I can already give my leash back to my mom when she drops it, pick up pens and pencils, clothes, coins, anything, really. Mom says she'll even teach me to help out with the laundry! I don't know what that means, but it sounds pretty special! I am making quick progress and will soon progress to picking up paper. I have to learn not to tear it, which is difficult when you have teeth! Well, I'll bark to you all later.Enjoy all the pictures!

Quincy

I have the BEST smile!

Something must have been interesting...
Sometimes I'm serious, too... Not very often, though :)

Yeah, tummy time!
This is me, wishing I could go in the water :)

Pictures, Pictures, and More Pictures.....

2008-09-08T08:51:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone! Mom is still at it with the picture taking! Sheesh, you'd think she'd give it a rest! Apparently I am just too cute to not get photographed every waking (and sleeping) moment! So, not much is new since I last posted. I have my therapy dog test on Saturday, so mom and I have been working extra hard to prepare me so I can pass. She's been really busy with school, homework, and band. She is also preparing her college essays, which is taking some serious time out of my walk schedule, but I guess we all have to make sacrifices every now and then. Well, I best be off. Bark to you all later!
Quincy

GOT IT! I love playing catch!

Mmmmm.... Nylabone.....

So handsome

My, I'm most dashing

Smiles!!!!

I am good at working the pouty face. I can get anything with such great pouty lips...

I love walks!

Even upside-down smiles are cute (:

What can I say, I am a love bug!

Mom Got a New Camera... Guess What That Means......

2008-09-02T09:36:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone! It's been a LONG time since I updated on here. My mom has been super busy this summer, and she is my typest so my blog had to wait. So the summer was very good. I spent a lot of it at my grampa's house, playing with my brother Bentley. My mom's 17th birthday was on August 29 and she got a REALLY nice camera from our PAWS friends. I am happy for her, sure, but I have had that thing shoved in my face every day since then! Oh well, guess it could be worse! Her school started today, so now I go to grampa's in the mornings to hang out while she's learning about various things. I don't mind, but we get up EARLY! Today we got up at 6:15, and tomorrow we have to get up at 5:15 so she can go to band practice! WOAH! I was still half asleep when we left! Well, I gotta run. Enjoy this rediculous amount of new pictures, all taken with her new camera. Bark to you later,

Kayla

Aren't I just the handsomest? I am growing up!
Ready. Set. Catch!
I am full of smiles!
Mama loves this picture. I am pretty fond of it, too!
Soooo handsome!
Looking at the pond....
Portrait! Mom likes this picture so much she thinks she'll use it on my therapy dog I.D. card!

I am rather dashing, no?
Mom has gotten a little happy about that camera... Sheesh.
Watching over Sean, my mom's nephew. I am such a good boy...
Smile for the camera!
When I was about 9 weeks old my mom took a picture of me just like this and we are revisting it now in older form.

Catch me if you can!
CHEESE!
Me and Bentley, my brother, wrestling. He is huge, but I have the speed advantage.
Grrr....
Grinning :)

Intense looks..... Wonder what I was looking at.....
Haha... This is a silly picture....
Aww, I sure am cute!
Smile If there is one thing people can learn from us dogs it's to learn to love life!

I'm Home and Loving It!!!

2008-07-16T16:07:00.001-07:00

Hello Everyone! Guess what! I'm home now! I've been home with mom for a couple of weeks now, and it's been nice to be home and back into my normal routine. I did love my extended sleepover with my brother Bentley and my gramps. It was a blast, and we all got along famously. The only problems I had was when I was in the house for too long with nothing to do. I am a working dog, and I definately need a job top focus my energy. I got into a little trouble finding things to do. Oops :P I am home with my mom for a little longer, and then I go back to gramp's house on July 28. My mom will be at band camp at Michigan State. She is the section leader for the drumline at school. I have been going to a lot of pre-camp rehearsals. The drums are LOUD, but I don't mind :) Other than that we are keeping fairly busy, I guess. We go for short walks throughout the day. It is too HOT to go for long ones. I get all tuckered out, and could even get heat stroke if we aren't careful! I have been swimming a few times, and I get to play in the house, sprinklers, and watering cans, too. It is so much fun! Mom has even been giving me my own doggie popsicle everyday, made out of yogurt, peanut butter, and banana. I LOVE them! Right now I have been going to the best place ever. It's called Kamp K9, and my mom and I are volunteering there a couple of weeks this summer. The camp is a day camp for kids, and they learn about animals, especially dogs, and how to train us the right way with positive reinforcement. Each kid is even paired up with a shelter dog, who they train and socialize to make them more adoptable. I get to go and get loved on at camp. The kids love me, and I get so much attention. I am SO tired at the end of the day, but I just love it. I am such a natural ham, and I love kids so much, so this is the perfect place for me! I even get to play with other dogs. Does it get any better??? Well, I gotta go. I'll update soon with some pictures from Kamp K9! In the mean time, enjoy the pictures below. Love you all! Hugs and slobbery kisses,

Quincy

I am a VERY happy boy!!!
My mom says I am benevolent. I think that word describes me well :)
Best friends I am a BIG frog dog :P

Off to Grandpa's

2008-06-17T13:09:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone! Things have been a little different the last few days. I haven't seen my mom since Saturday! She explained to me, while she was packing our bags, that she was going to Florida to see her grandma and grandpa for 2 weeks, coming home for 1 day, and going to Montana for a cancer camp for 1 week. While she is gone I am staying with my grandpa and my big brother Bentley. I stay with them every day during the school year while my mom is in school. I love plaing with Bentley now. He is BIG yellow lab. He didn't like me when I was a little puppy but now we get along good. So anyways, on Saturday morning we woke up really early and drove to the air port. Now I spend the majority of my days lounging around on the bg chair at grandpa's with Bentley while he's at work, then we go out and play when he gets home and chill out at night. One really cool thing about being a KDX is getting to sleep on the furniture. I think it was called FUR-niture for a reason! Well, I miss my mom, but I'm having fun with Bentley. It's like a sleep-over every day! Well, Ill bark to you all later. Love you!

Quincy

All packed!

From "Future Assistance Dog" to "Keeper Dog Excellent"

2008-06-06T17:51:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone! A lot has happened in my life since I last blogged! I am now officially a career changed dog and Keeper Dog Excellent! I was pulled from the PAWS program before ever going to school or taking a test because one of the trainers who had seen me once thought I was too dominant and that the clients PAWS trains dog for would not be able to hande me. I don't understand it yet, since I didn't even get to take a test or anything, but they said I was going to go to a school called Leader Dogs for the Blind. They ended up turning me down because of my ever-worsening acid reflux problems. I couldn't very well be throwing up bile somewhere and have my blind person leave it there! So, I am now officially my mom's dog, her "Keeper Dog Excellent". I am glad to stay with her, as I have been her guardian angel since I first came to her. I have been taking care of her and helping her to recover from a battle with cancer, and we are doing GREAT! She is glad she didn't have to say goodbye, and is glad to officially call me her heart dog! I don't really understand why I don't get to go places with her anymore, but now I get to be a little more spoiled, like going swimming more, getting a biscuit when they come home from a restaurant, and occasionally sneaking a nap in on the couch. My mom is going to certify me as a therapy dog, too, so I'll be able to continue visits to Crittenton Hospital to help cheer people up. I am REALLY good at that! The pictures below are taken from a couple different adventures. Some of them, the ones with my PAWS cape on, were before I was cc'd, and the ones where I am muddy were also before I was cc'd, on a different trip with Flicka. The water pictures are recent, and boy do I LOVE water! Enjoy! Lovingly yours,

Quincy KDX CGC

Mw and the cows at Cooks Dariy Farm. We got along famously!
I <3 MUD!!!!!

Running free! Nothing like running in a wide-open space with the wind in your ears!
Guess who found the mud hole :)
Mud puppies Flicka and Quincy :P
ME and my mom! We are BEST FRIENDS!
The piggies at Cooks were real nice, but boy did they STINK!

Yup, I was made for the water!
Retrieving a stick! I am a good boy bringing it back!
Me on the far right, with my BFF's (best furry friends) Sirius and Luna!
I am so handsome :)
Gotta love falling asleep in the sun!

How cool is this picture??? I thing we are running on water!
Check out my POWERFUL spring!
Gotta get it!
My mom likes this picture, even though it's the wrong side of me.
One of our favorites from the bunch, me on the hunt for a stick. And this is height from flat ground, not even a dock! Imagine the distance I could get with something to push off of! Mom says she may try dock diving with me in the future, which I think is totally my sport! Mom is going to submit some of these water pictures to some retrievers magazines to see if they like them, too!

Spring has Sprung and Special Surprises

2008-04-12T04:32:00.001-07:00

A friend of mine, Leah, drew this fabulous picture of me. She is in high school, and raised PAWS puppy Demi. As you can see, she has a real talent for drawing! When I saw this picture of it, I thought it was a photo, not a drawing! Thanks Leah!!!!!!
Spring is here at last! We have had quite a few gorgeous days in Michigan. Here is a picture of my FLYING through the air! My mom says I am "something else", whatever that means...

As of March 12, I am officially one years old!!!! This is me at my big birthday party. We had a birthday party with a bunch of pups from other litters that were born around February/March. I don't feel any older for havinh turned one. my mom says I am "stuck in puppyhood", but hey, I am still a baby! We got the paperwork for me to go to college, but we are holding off on it until I grow up some more. I am still just too big and goofy to move to HQ :)

Finally this is a picture with my brother and I and our moms! This brother is named Quimby, and is just as handsome as me! We met up at GM Renaissance Center. That is one BIG place! Quimby is about my height, but isn't as big as me. He also has a pink nose! Imagine that!

Snow Games and Other Odds and Ends

2008-02-29T14:25:00.000-08:00

So life in Michigan has been pretty relaxed with the occasional oddity. My mom and I have been busy with robotics and dog classes. I am a very good helper on the robotics team and am also good at homework. We go to the library a lot now and I am very good there. I just went for a mini vacation at my therapy dog friends' house. I had a blast with them, although I cried a lot. I missed mom and wanted to know what was going on all of the time, which got me in trouble occassionally :P Well, we'll update soon! My first brithday is coming up, as is St. Patrick's Day! Will bark back soon. PAWS Up!

~Quincy~

My new ear-style. I think it is particularly cute :)

Geocaching!!!

2008-02-29T14:18:00.000-08:00

So my mom and I have taken up a new and exciting hobby. It is called geocaching, and it is basically a treasure hunt with a GPS. People place caches in all sorts of places and log the coordinates online. People then go and find the cache.Generally you take something out of the cache and replace it. We haven't found a ton due to the snow here in Michigan, but it is a lot of fun and I love going outside and walking in the great outdoors. These are some pictures of me caching! Enjoy!

I am king of the rock!
ME on a bridge at Dinosaur Hill. I am a handsome guy, huh?

Me and my mom with our first cache ever! I was pouting because she made me stop trying to uproot the sapling
Me with a cache in the SNOW!
My mom, her sister, and me with a cache in Stoney Creek.
Come on, mom! Let's GO!
I am such a good assistant geocacher! I even hold the GPS sometimes!

Christmas Fun!

2008-02-29T14:11:00.000-08:00

Christmas 2007 was my first Christmas ever, and boy was it fun! I didn't do anything very special, other than I spent the night with my big brother Bentley(he likes me a lot better now). I also got a really cool new toy. It is a Tuffies toy and is super tough for a soft toy. I still haven't destroyed it!

I am so handsome :)
Look at my BIG paws!!!
Me chewing on my treat ball.... If you roll it around treats fall out of it. I guess I was just taking the short cut :P
The starfish doesn't look very happy about getting eaten :)
This is my yellow dog. He is very well loved and is now missing an ear, but i love him just the same :)

SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-02-22T06:50:00.000-08:00

My mom and I are continuing to update this blog and get it back up and running! These pictures were taken after my first BIG snow ever with my mom. I LOVE this snow soooo much! I could play in it all day and all night!

Quincy

I know there is a tennis ball in here somewhere.....

I am faster than the speed of light!
Snowy faces :)
You know you love me :)
Oh heck, it's up to my neck!
Leaping after something... Who knows what?

Cats and Cabela's

2008-02-22T06:37:00.001-08:00

Here another post. The first picture is of two of my cats. I have three in all. These are the young ones. Cali, the one on top, is the same age as me. Hope, the little one, is now 7 months old. They are fun to annoy! The oldest cat, named Kitty, is the one not in the picture. She tolerates being around me, but wants nothing to do with me... She is old and set in her ways :) The majority of the photos are from my trip to Cabela's with mom, Auntie Chris, and Uncle Gordan. That place was so fun!!! It was like a HUGE Outdoor World, with tons of things to look at and smell.... I have never seen so many kinds of animals and fishing lines in my whole life! We had a great time! Enjoy!!!! PAWS Up!!!

Quincy

Cali and Hope... They are crazy!
Mom made me wear this ridiculous hat :(
But it ended up working in my favor with COOKIES!
Me and the camo snowman... I wish he was real snow and I could eat him!
Me in the hat again.....

So this is another update on the blog! My mom is finally getting this all updated so I can start posting weekly. These pistures were taken after the first snow... it wasn't much, but it sure was fun to play with! The other dogs are Flicka, the black lab, and Star, the yellow lab. Flicka is one of my BFF's (Best Furry Friend) and Star is a great pal. Start is in training for PAWS like me, and Flicka used to be mama dog for PAWS. She is now doing obediance and hunting... She is really good! This fun time at the race track was just before Star left for warmer weather in sunny Florida. Enjoy the pictures! PAWS Up!!!!

Fall Photo Shoot

2008-01-12T07:02:00.001-08:00

I am so sorry it has taken me so long to post. My mom is finally getting to it! If I could type, I would have taken over a long time ago! We are definately going to start keeping up with this blog.... A blog isn't much of a blog if no one blogs on it!!!! So these are some pictures taken this past fall. The leaves were all funny colors and were all over the ground! I really wanted to chase them, but every time I did I got in trouble :P

Enjoy!!! PAWS UP!!!!

Quincy

I am so silly!!!!
Wasn't I adorable??? I was still really young here....
This is what I do when I want out of the kitchen.... I used to be able to fit my whole body through, but now it is hard enough just to get my head in there!
Those leaves are DELICIOUS!!!!!!!
Don't you just love fall???
My and Hope... She is the youngest kitty of the bunch....
I am sooo sweet! These eyes have helped me get away with minimal punishment many times :)
Seriously, though, how could aynone possibly be angry at this???

I'm so happy!
Now I am serious... Mom kept tempting me with smelly treat goodness....
She can't say no to this, either :P
I am very devoted and loyal... my mom says I am "benevolent", whatever that means...
What leaf???

Frankenmuth

2007-10-29T07:50:00.001-07:00

Me with a flower chicken. It didn't smell or taste like chicken, though....
Aren't I cute?
Me witht he cheese mouse. I like cheese, too!
The things humans do to us dogs... Sheesh!
Well, at least I am cute!

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday my family and I went to this German town called Frankenmuth. It was a great place! First we went to this restaurant called Zhender's so the 2-leggeds could eat. I munched on a crayon under the table. We then walked around the downtown area. It was rather nice weather and there were lots of people. My mom insisted on getting some pictures, which I didn't mind. I like cameras. Then we walked down by the river. we weren't there for very long but it was a nice day. I think we are going to go again soon. I hope so, because it was a great day! PAWS UP!

Flyball and Bandanas

2007-10-29T07:43:00.001-07:00

Hello Again,

Last Saturday I went to a PAws fundraiser that was unlike anything I'd ever seen or heard before. It was a flyball competition. If you have never seen flyball you are missing out. It is a crazy cool dog sport. It is like a relay race for dogs.... The one downfall is that it is really LOUD! The dogs get a little excited and bark, a lot. My pal Cyder and her mom Jen belong to the team that hosts the event. To raise money for PAWS we held Halloween themed games like a costume contest, treat toss, bobbing for tennis balls, and tricks for treats. It was a lot of fun. we tried for the treat toss... I could catch from 10 feet ut wasn't so good at 15 feet. Just a little too far. The other PAWS dogs judging were little Ausie and service dogs Ike and Cooley. it was tons of fun and I was a very good boy. PAWS Up!

Aussie and I... She is a lot smaller than me but her big personality makes up for it!

Dogs On the Diag

2007-10-29T07:07:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone,

A couple of Friday's ago my mom and I went up to Ann Arbor to go to the University of Michigan. It was their disability awarness week and they had us PAWS dogs come down and tell the students about our jobs/future jobs. There were a ton of us and we had dogs at 4 different locations around campus. I was at the Diag, a little crossway in campus. There were tons of college kids running between classes.... They all loved me and the other dogs... we got tons of love. All of the pictures below were taken by many talented PAWS raisers. My mom forgot her camera so she figured we'd show you these pawsome pics from the day! PAWS Up!

Hello Everyone,

Let me apologize from my mom for not posting in seriously FOREVER!!!! She is a little slack about my blog and we've had some talks and she now understands that this is a rather important thing. So let me fill you in on whats been going on. I have been home with mom for a whole month now. We are doing well and she is getting her strength back. I am going to be 8 months old on November 12 and I am getting to be a very big boy. My mom will divide the updates and posts into categories. This one is about the Foster Puppy Raiser Appreciation Day we attended at PAWS HQ. It was in mid-Spetember and my Uncle Doug took me up with him (this was when i was still on a working vacation). I saw my mom there and she worked me. It was loads of fun and I got to see a lot of great people and dogs. I even got to meet my father, Bubba! I got my picture taken by a professional photographer. My mom got an 8x10 of it to hang on her wall. Well, enjoy the pictures! PAWS Up!

SVSU Football

2007-09-02T11:50:00.001-07:00

I had a very cool weekend!!! On Friday, after I went to work with Doug, we drove a pretty long way. I didn't know where I was going at first, but once I was there I knew just where I was! I was home! I saw my mom and I got really excited. I wiggled all over! I hadn't seen her in a little while. She told me I was just staying the night, but that was fine by me! I got to bed early that night because we had a long day ahead! We got up nice and early. Before breakfast, my mom and I went for a good, long walk. It was a beautiful morning and it felt good to stretch my legs. Once we got home, I had my breakfast and mom ate hers. We got dressed and ready to go to a football game! My friend Cheetah, another PAWS puppy, and her mom, Brenda, picked my mom and I up. I was really happy to see Chetah as I know her from class and we played a lot in the car. We were kind of silly, but it was a lot of fun. Then we picked up Brenda's husband, Kevin, and we were on out way to Saginaw Valley State University. Once we got there, we met with some other PAWS dogs and puppies. The humans ate while we played. I didn't get to play much as I was a little too big for the play pen, but it was still a lot of fun. My mom made me sit right next to her while she ate. It smelled so good, and I just couldn't help but try to take a taste of it. I got scolded big time for that... My mom had a chip in her hand and I licked it..... Then, as punishment, she set it right in front of me and made me leave-it.... I didn't like that at all, but I didn't try to take anything else. After we tailgated, we all went up to the stadium to watch some football. I was very good in the stands and enjoyed watching the game. The only problem was that it was so hot! My mom poured cold water on my head and on my bandana, and that helped keep my cool. She also made homemade frosty pawsicles.... They were really yummy! The dogs that were at the game were me, my half-sis Pally, Moxi, her sister Cheetah, Laser, Cisco, Cooley, Jesse, and Daisy. We were all very good. After the game a few of us went to a little park on campus to take pictures. Well, really Aunt Becky was the one who took the great picture. My mom posted them below. Enjoy!

PAWS UP!!

Hello Everone!!! Sorry it has been so long since I last updated! I have been busy on my working vacation! I am now with Doug, a very kind man, until my mom can take me back. I get to go all over with Doug! I go to work with him everyday and I am very good in the office. He works in lansing, right by the capitol! We walk around there during lunch a lot. I have been having a great time with him. I wanted to let everyone know that I was the "Grown-Up Puppy" on "The Daily Puppy" website on August 27th! I am famous!!!! Be sure to check out my page! I am coming home for the night. Mom and I are going to a football game for PAWS. Saginaw Valley State University is playing. I am excited. I won't be with her long, but at least a little while.

PAWS UP!!

Visits and Sitters

2007-08-13T15:51:00.001-07:00

Sorry it has been a while since I last updated. I have been a very busy puppy! Last Tuesday, Auntie Gail took me to see my mom. I was really happy to see her and she was amazed at how big I am getting. I am a very big puppy.... I wonder how big I'll grow to be! On Wednesday I went with another sitter, Amy. I think I mentioned her in a previous post. I stayed with her for a while a few weeks ago. She is really nice and I am pretty sure she likes me. She says I need to work on pulling, though, so my mom is going to work with me on that when I get home. Speaking of getting home, I am comign back to my mom on Saturday! I have loved everyone I have stayed with and they have been wonderful but I know where my real home is and I can't wait to be back. I know she can't wait to see me, either. Enjoy the pictures. They were taken last Tuesday.

My mom and I..... I am still her baby!
My mom has held me like this since I was a little baby, but she never thought I would be this long having only just turned 5 months yesterday!

I went with another sitter for a little while Auntie Gail went on vacation. Her name was Amy, and she was realyl cool! She is a teenager like my mom, and raised my half sister, Okie! She was really funa nd I went to a bunch of places with her! I am back with Auntie Gail, but will be leaving her soon to go with another sitter for a bit because she is watching another puppy. My mom got these pictures from my Auntie Chris. She watched me when i was 9 weeks old and it just took her a little while to send my mom this pictures. I was so little! Enjoy the pictures!

Updates

2007-07-26T11:47:00.000-07:00

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I have been away on a working vacation with my Auntie Gail. I got to see my mom a few times, too. This past weekend I spent with my mom. On Friday, she took me swimming then we went to pick up the new Harry Potter book at midnight. I was really tired when we got home, but it was really fun. On Saturday, I went with Jane, Kayla, and Ukon to a contest for cute dogs. We didn't win, but PAWS Demo Dog Cyder made it to the finals. I loved spending the day with Kayla and Jane, and of course Ukon. They are the coolest. On Sunday we went to lunch and went and saw a movie. I was wonderful, as always. I went back to Auntie Gail's that night but I saw my mom on Monday for class. It was in downtown Birmingham. I was a pretty good boy, but I always get a little excited at class.

Updates and Class

2007-07-17T07:19:00.000-07:00

I thought I'd update everyone on my working vacation. I have been with Auntie Gail for a week now. She is really nice and I go everywhere with her. She says I am a very good boy. I have played a lot with her boyfriends husky, Kaos, and we get along great! The other day we were in downtown and I was right next to 3 motorcycles. The started up right next to me and I didn't even jump! Then the next day at breakfast we were sitting on the patio and 6 emergency vehicle with their sirens drove by. I just picked up my head, looked at them, and just went right back to sleep. They say that is really good! I saw my mom at class yesterday and I got to work with her. I was really happy to see her. I was a very good boy at class. I have a very good "stay". My mom is very proud of me, but I don't think it's that big a deal. I mean, how hard is it to just stay in the same spot? Maybe I'm just weird or something... Sorry, no pictures today!

Sorry I haven't updated in so long! My mom has been really busy and since I don't have opposable thumbs I need her help. These pictures are from June 25, the longest day EVER! First, I went to breakfast with my mom and her friend. Then, I went to my moms first radiation treatment with her. After that, we went to the Renaissance Center in Detroit to walk around and enjoy the air conditioning. After that, we went to Comerica Park for a pregame party for the American Cancer Society then enjoyed the game. The Tigers didn't win, but it was a blast anyways. I was so tired when I got home but it was so worth it.

Waiting for treatment to start.
And waiting...
And waiting...

Trip With Flicka

2007-06-27T17:48:00.000-07:00

Sorry I have taken so long to post! So, on June 23 and 24 I went on a small vacation with Flicka, mom, and Auntie Chris. Flicka is a hunting dog and she had a trial so we went and saw Flicka "get the bird". It was wonderful! It was a very long drive, about 5 hours. Once we arrived at the hunt test, I was ready to PLAY! On Saturday, just the Master and Senior classes showed, so Flicka just got to relax. Flicka and I played and waded in the water (on a long line, of course). Then I played with a golden puppy named Feather. She was very pretty and very fun. After we watched some of the tests, we went back to the hotel to wash up for dinner. Flicka and I had our dinner and then mom and Chris went to Red Lobster. I, of course, accompanied them into the restaurant. I was very good and the staff loved me. Honestly, though, how could you not?!? We cashed in early since we had an early start the next day. I was very good in the hotel! We got up early on Sunday and headed down to the hunt site. Since Flicka was the first dog to go we had to be there extra early. I sat in the kennel while Flicka ran her land marks. Then we played some and just had a great time. Then Flicka had her water marks, and we palyed some more. She passed everythign and got her thord leg for her Junior Hunter title. We headed home, stopped at a rest stop and had our dinner and a BREAK, and got on the road again. We stopped in a Chili's on the way home so mom and Chris could get dinner. We were close to getting asked to leave because of me, but the manager was very nice and he let us stay. He even gave me dog biscuits when we left! I was very tired when I got hom, but it was a great weekend!

Flicka!

So, nothing much that is new. I have been spending a lot of time with my mom, which is pretty sweet. She is officially out of school now and starts radiation treatments on Monday. I saw Nancy Drew on Thursday wth my mom and her friend Liz. It was a pretty good movie, but I slept through most of it. I am going to spend the whole weekend with my friend Flicka, my mom, and Auntie Chris! I am so excited! Flicka has a hunt test in Ohio and we are going to go watch her. I am all packed and I am excited to hit the road! I know I'll have a blast! On Monday, I am going to radiation with my mom and then a Tiger's game. My mom was invited from the American Cancer Society. It should be a ball! Pun intended. I like going to Tigers games. I'll make sure I get a few more pictures this time. Well, enjoy these pictures from a mini photo shoot! PAWS Up!

Tigers Game and Photo Shoot

2007-06-22T18:39:00.000-07:00

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. It has been pretty busy. I went to a Tiger's game a couple of weeks ago. It was really fun. Plus, it was part of history. Justin Verlander of the Tigers pitched a no-hitter against the Milwakee Brewers! It was the first Tiger's pitcher to do so since 1984 and the first no-hitter for the Tiger's at home since 1952! Talk about awesome. And I was there! Not many pups can say they were apart of history! I get to go to another Tigers game this Monday. I can't wait. I'll have more pictures then. Also, I had a mini photo shoot with mom after and during my first play in my pool. I love my pool a lot. It is perfect for those hot summer days. Enjoy!

My New Friend Harley

2007-06-05T11:08:00.000-07:00

This weekend I got a new friend! His name is Harley and he is a 7 month old Basset hound. His ears are soooo long! I was a very good boy sleeping over at his house. He belongs to my mom's friend's sister. We spent the night over there to watch Harley. He is really loud! When I was asleep in my kennel he would come over and howl at me. I just looked at him and tried to tell him to be quiet, but he didn't get it! We walked to Dairy Queen before we went to bed. I was a very good boy! I hope I get to see my new friend soon.

PAWS Up!

It's been a while since I've posted. Things have been going pretty well. As I said on my last post, I am home again. I have had a pretty crazy week. I had a good weekend, except I got bit by my "brother", Bentley. He just doesn't like puppies, I think. I am doing good, now, but I was really scared and hurt at the time. It hurt a lot, but I feel much better now. I walked in the Memorial Day Parade on Monday. It was a long walk, but it was really fun! I saw a first grade concert on Wednesday. It was loud, but good. Well, here are some pictures.

This was just after I got home from the hospital.
I was really tired!!

2007-05-24T11:36:00.001-07:00

I am now home! I had a great time on my working vacation, but it is good to be back home! I have missed my mom a lot over the last couple of weeks, and it has been great to spend some time with her. She says I have grown so much in the last two weeks! I think so, too! I have already been to therapy dogs again, Jr. Elks, and Meijer. I am going to the library today! Here are pictures from today! Hope you like them.

PAWS Up,

More Days of Working Vacation

2007-05-19T05:21:00.000-07:00

Life's been pretty busy lately. I haven't been home in almost two weeks! I got to see my mom on Thursday, though. Let me fill you in on her situation. She had a surgery a couple of weeks ago to remove something called the submandibular salivary gland because they thought there was a stone in it. It turned out it was actually a cancerous tumor. She has had a bunch of testing at the hospital in the last week so my working vacation was extended an extra week.
I left Auntie Gail's yesterday. She was a really cool lady and took good care of me while I was away. I went to tons of places with her. That is very good, since I need lots of great socialization skills for when I am a big dog helping someone. We went to post offices, restaurants, garage sales, puppy class... This list goes on.
I spent a small amount of time with a man named Dave Beamer. He is kind of like my grandpa. He used to be my mom's neighbor but he has since moved to Warren. My mom raised her first three PAWS dogs with him and half of the fourth before he moved in full time with her. Because Dave has 3 big golden retrievers and I don't have all of my shots yet, I couldn't stay the night there. I did go to downtown Royal Oak and walked around with hima nd just spent some time. He is a very nice man.
I then went to Auntie Chris and Uncle Gordan's whom I had heard a lot about from my mom. They have a black lab named Flicka who used to be a mama dog for PAWS. She is now a hunter and does retrieving trials and things like that. She also does competitive obediance and rally. She looks a lot like my dog mom, Bella. Auntie Chris and Uncle Gordan are super nice. I have already had a ton of fun playing with all of Flicka's toys and with Flicka and the neighbors bischon, Maize. I am only 9 weeks old and I am the same size as her! I am going to get to go with Flicka a few times to watch her hunt. Should be a ton of fun. I get to go back to mom on Tuesday. I also have therapy dogs and Jr. Elks on Tuesday, so I should sleep very well that night. Should make mom happy! I'll talk to you all later. Sorry for the shortage of pictures lately. haven't been around to get any taken. I'll post more once I am home.
PAWS Up!

Working Vacation

2007-05-14T12:28:00.000-07:00

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have been really busy lately. Last Monday I had my very first puppy class. I was a good boy and got to play with some puppies my size and some much bigger. They didn't scare me, though. On Tuesday, I went to a thing called "therapy dogs". I went to Crittenton Hospital and met a whole bunch of other dogs. They are certified therapy dogs, and they visit the hospital every other Tuesday. My mom works with her friends therapy dog, Jonah. I haven't met him yet, but he sounds like a cool dog. Anyway, I went with a couple of dogs named Scarlet, Merlin, and Doozi. Scarlet is a golden retriever, Merlin is a big Bernese mountain dog, and Doozi is a little mutt. We visited a bunch of patients and people. I was a very good boy and everyone loved me. I got lots of treats, too. After that I went off on a working vacation with Auntie Gail. I have been with her all week because my mom had surgery on Wednesday. I miss her a lot, but I get to come home tomorrow. I have been a very good boy at Auntie Gail's. I have been all over with her. We go to breakfast every morning and people are amazed at how good I am. We have been to lots of stores and even garage sales! I like her a lot but I can't wait to see my mom. Well, I'll post again soon. I need to update some pictures! I have grown a lot in the last week!
PAWS Up!

I love my new toy!
Me in my official clothes.
Aren't I adorable...
Crate face!
Bath time!
I know I am so darn adorable!

It has been a really long day. First, I got picked up from headquarters with my brother Quimby by this man and woman. They took me on a really long drive with some other pups. Then, I went with a few other pups and another woman took me to this big place called the semi office. I got picked up there by my raiser, Kayla. She is real nice. I went home with her. The people at the office were happy because I cried a lot. When I got hom, I ran and played with a bunch of new toys. I took a little nap, and played some more. Then I got a bath and got ready for bed. I was pretty good. I only got up 3 times to go potty. It was a long, but good day.

Quincy is Mr.Green!
