Does it look like I am forgetting anything?
Okay, lets hit the road!!

Frustration Gets The Best of Me

Today I had something very important to do so of course before I went I had to get a bath so I would not smell like my lake =)

Today was very frustrating at my first obedience class =(
Mom worked all week with me to learn "eye contact" and the word "yes"
We practiced by mom calling my name and when I looked she would say "yes" and I would get a treat. Then at feeding time I had to sit and "wait" and make "eye contact" until mom gave me the okay to eat my food. I learned "off" when I am getting up on things or humans when I should not be. I also had to watch mom's eyes in order to get a delicious treat from her hand that she had extended out to her side, and when I made "eye contact" and ignored the treats I received one!!
However, in class I payed no attention to mom at all!!! There was just so much going on.
Other puppies and humans and kids and treats........OH MY!!
How am I ever to just watch mom?
This week I have to learn "sit" "down" and "stand" while making the "eye contact" with my mom, and to do it without rewards!!
Does any one have any advise for my poor mom to get me to pay attention to her?

I feel as though I have let my mom down, please help us =)

Fall Walk in the Park and a Swim

Okay mom lets get this fall walk going..............
wait was that a squirrel?

Mom and I love to crunch on the leaves

Do you?

learning to walk nicely with my mom and not dragging
her along the way =)

Come on slow pokes........

The water is this way

WATER!!!!!!!!!!

Just me looking out over the water

are you sure you do not see Alfie?

I will wait just a little longer, I am sure he is bound to show up

My first fall swim of the year............

Oh and I start obedience school tomorrow........
Eventually I hope to be a therapy dog,
wish me luck. =)

My New Ride

Mom got me a new ride last week!!

I am not too sure about this view I am going to get,
I may be at a severe disadvantage to what is coming my way

I do have a lot of leg room though...........

How does this door work? Will it close on my head?
I am a little concerned here.........

Eh, I guess it will do for now.
Not sure about using my indoor gate as a barrier though?
Mom says she is going to buy a real gate for the car,
it kinda feels like jail.

Monday Mason Montage.....I'm Back

Why hello up there...........have we met?
Did I startle you?
In case every one forgot, I am Mason D and I am back!!

So I thought I would bring you my ball as an apology
for my lack of blogging lately.

Here it is, my ball, for all to take

Unless my cute snoofer makes you think I should keep it?

I make raspberry face at you then..........

and keep it for myself. =)

This is my 200th post!
Sorry that I have been MIA for so long, I have missed you all
and I hope to be back now.
Thank you for your all your worries and concerns while I was away
just taking a break and enjoying the summer.
I have so much to share...............
but more on that later.

My Swimming Adventure

Here at my lake again and ready to jump

See my new collar? compliments of Clover and Chewey =)

Now for a good shake shake shakeLooking over the fence and guess what I saw......................

A waterfall! I have never seen one before

Mom says that is one cliff I am not allowed to jump off, she
has no sense of adventure
Here I come mom!!!!

Here mom is yelling at me to get out of these weeds? Not sure why?

Then this is what mom found in my tail....oops
I guess sometimes you are to listen to your mother.
(sometimes)

Can you see me?

Here I am!!and now on my way home.

and of course for my far far swim.
