What makes you think it was ME that took those flowers, Mom?

I’ve learned a lot in my first year of puppyhood. I feel it is my duty to extend some advice to any puppies out there that are still learnin’ the ropes. If I could only give one piece of advice, it would be to use your cuteness to your advantage.

For instance, if you’re going to make a huge mess (like throwing couch cushions around and then bringing in pieces of trees and dirt and spreading them throughout the house), make sure to give your mom your very best smile. 9 times out of 10, she’ll like it and take pictures of you while you pose because she thinks you’re cute.

Someday? I’d like to try a strawberry.

Here is a Day In The Life Post about me on my mom’s blog so you can see what I do with my time.

Sometimes, I can be a bit of a rebel. One time my family tried the spray bottle technique to teach me my manners. The spray bottle scared me at first and even made me respect my elders a little. But then I realized I liked it and it was kind of funny when the spray bottle was whipped out. And just like that, I was back to being the alpha-dog.

 I got my second haircut today.

I was more brave this time…but now I am just beat. It’s hard work being beautiful.
