Mommy and Daddy was so excited cause thems had two different training opportunities yesterday. This is what happened.
First off Daddy's two legged sister, niece and mommy came over to visit and to pickup up a puter that Daddy and gotten for his niece Sally. Sally has always been scared of me cause me likes to jump on her and like her face to say hello. Now me thinks that it's really that daddy's sister Francie is tha one that is scared of me and hers is sending those scared signals to Sally. Daddy's mommy isn't scared of me and hers is an old lady. Anyway, when thems came in Mommy had me on the leash but hers would say "Wait Murphy" and a little vibrate would tap me on tha neck and me would sit down by mommy. Me would forget and try to go jump on thems and again "Wait Murphy" and a little tap tap tap on my neck. Oh yeah, me is supposed to sit down and let everybody come inside. This happened a couple more times and guess what? Me got it and sat there like a good boy and waited to go up to each of tha company and sniff them politely and get petted. This was pretty nice since no body was yelling at me and everyone was say "what a good boy Murphy is" "hims is being to good" This made me feel really good since me knows it made mommy and daddy proud.
The 2nd opportunity came when some friends came over to brew Mead with Daddy. Mommy again put me on the leash and when them peoples came in tha door her said "wait Murphy" tap tap tap and me went over and sat by Mommy. This time hers took the leash off of me cause these peoples know how to deal with dogs and thems wasn't scared of me. When me went to jump up on Dan to get petted, mommy said "off Murphy" tap tap tap and me got down and waited for Dan to reach down and pet me. Again nobody was yelling at me to get down or trying to drag me off by me collar. In fact tha whole time thems was here me was a really good boy and didn't jump on nobody. This meant me could be in tha kitchen with thems and be the inspector puppy that is me job. Okay so maybe me is getting the idea that jumping on people isn't polite puppy behavior and that me can get lots more pets from tha company if me sits and waits for it.
For everybody that's wondering, the vibrating doesn't hurt me at all. It sort of startles me and gets me attention so me listens to what mommy and daddy is asking me to do. Me gets so excited when we have company that me tunes out what thems is asking me to do.
Murphy (who is thinking this through --- no jumping up on peoples means more pets.)

The New Rainbow Bridge" (Inspired by a Norse legend)
Mommy found this in the newspaper and hers said it brought tears to her eyes when her thought of the pets hers has had over tha years that will be waiting for her to cross over the Rainbow Bridge one day. Hers wants to post it on me blog cause her says this is for everyone who has ever lost a beloved pet. Hers says hers truly believe that along with love ones who have gone on before her and will be there to ease her way on the journey to the Summerland, her pets (dogs, cats, cow, pony etc) will also be there waiting to make the journey across the bridge into the Summerland with her.
Hers hopes everyone will enjoy it as much as hers did.

The New Rainbow Bridge" (Inspired by a Norse legend)
By the edge of a wood, at the foot of a hill,
By the edge of a wood, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over.
Together

This is how training works
So tha dog training man came to me house last night and this is what happened.
Hims putted this collar on me little boxer neck and told Mommy and Daddy that this was how thems was going to learn to train thems little boxer puppy. Hims gave them a thingy that looked like a telephone and said that when thems wanted me to do something thems would give the command at tha same time thems used the telephone thingy to make it vibrate.
Hims said tha first thing me was going to learn was to "come" when me was called. Me always comes when me is called.......If me feels like it. If me doesn't them me goes on about me boxer business. Well this trainer man said that this isn't good and me must always when me is called, no ifs and or buts. Hummmmm and how does him thinks him is going to do this??? Him sais "Murphy come" and there was a Buzzzz....whoa what was that vibrating against me neck. Me jumped and looked all around and then. Again hims said "Murphy come" and there was a Buzzz vibrating against me neck. Well the only thing me could do was go to tha voice and sit. The trainer man said "Good Murphy" and hims petted me and then hims said "free" and walked away and let me do what me wanted. Okay so this isn't so hard. We did that some and hims had Mommy and Daddy do it and then hims said we was going to learn some other things.
Well what else was there to learn me wondered in me little boxer head. Me soon founded out. There was "Off" when thems didn't want me to do something like jump on thems. Now for the life of me why Mommy and Daddy wouldn't want me to jump on thems is a mystery but it seems thems doesn't like it all that much. There is "quiet" when thems doesn't want to hear me whine and then there's "wait" when thems doesn't want me to rush the door when we have company. Me is starting to understand a little bit but it sure is hard on a little boxer brain to have to figure out the vibrating on me neck means them commands Mommy and Daddy are giving.
The training man told Mommy and Daddy that the training was on going (what ever that means) and thems would have plenty of opportunity everyday to use what thems had learned. It seems thems is being trained too. Well me couldn't figure out what that meant until tonight.
Mommy broughted home dinner for her and Daddy. It was chicken and it smelled really, really good. Mommy poured some of the juices on me food and it was soooooooo good me wanted more. This is where the training opportunity for Mommy came into play. Hers was watching tha TV and me thought it would be ok to go take a sniff of that chicken that was on tha counter. Me went over to that counter and lifted me little boxer nose into tha air and went "sniff, sniff, sniff". Oh my that was smelling really, really YUMMMY!!!! Me put me little paws up on tha counter to get a really close sniff and there it was.....tha chicken. Well what was a little boxer puppy to do but take it off the counter and put it on the floor for closer inspection.
Yeah that was it, me was the inspector puppy. Quality control is what a boxer puppy does bestest and so me was doing just that. Mommy happened to hear me cause being a quailty control boxer puppy is really noisy work. Hers saw me eating the chicken and all of a sudden Buzzz, there was a that viberation against me neck and me heard Mommy say "Murphy OFF". Oops maybe me shouldn't be doing quality control on Mommy's dinner. Hers came into that kitchen and picked her dinner up off the floor and said me was a very bad dog. There wasn't even a kitty in sight to blame this on. Where is that darn ole Miss Pitty Pat when hers is needed? Even that ole stuck up Lil or Smoke would have worked. But noooo, me had to take all of the blame for this one. Hers even told Daddy when hims came home. This is a conspiracy to make me a good puppy.
Mommy and Daddy says me is smart and me is learning fast. Well just see about that.

Sad Sad Day in Bronco Land
Me Mommy and Daddy is very, very sad. The Broncos just losted the AFC Championship and thems isn't going to tha Super Bowl. See, me knew thems should have had me playing for tha Bronco's. Now Mommy wants to see tha Panters win so thems can go to tha Super Bowl and beat them ole Steelers. Me can't say what Mommy calls them Steelers. It isn't very nice at all.

GO BRONCOS
This is tha Bronco's team pictureThem Bronco's is fixing to play football this afternoon and with out me!!! Mommy says it's okay cause them's would be to busy wanting to play with me that thems would forget to beat them Steelers. But you know it could work the other way around and them Steelers would want to play with a Murphy dog and forget to play tha Broncos. Anyway, Mommy and Daddy (and me of course) is all excited and ready for the game to begin.
This is Champ Baywee. Hims is not to be confused with me bully pal Buttercup Baywee. Hers wears the Baywee football jersey on game days but thems is not the same persons. Champ Baywee is tha a Cornerback for tha Broncos and Baywee is a bulldog.
This is Jake tha Snake. Hims the Quarterback for tha Broncos. Mommy thinks hims looks much better with long hair and a beard. Hers likes men with long hair and beards. Daddy has a beard but hims don't have no long hair.
This is Rod Smith. Him is one of the Bronco's Wide Recivers. Hims also does pizza commercials on tha TV. Me likes pizza.
So now me has shown you some of tha Bronco's players. There's lots more important players on tha team but Mommy is making me get off of tha computer. Her says me has been on line long enough.Maybe next year me will be on the Bronco's roster. And me will be in a Bronco's jersey that say MURPHY #1 on tha back.

Thems going to train me!
The training man came to our house last night after mommy got home for the working place. Mommy had put me out back until hims got in the house. The training man asked what Mommy wanted to fix on me (me isn't broken!) and hers said she would let me and show him. Mommy thought I would jump on this man but me didn't. Showed her me did. All me did was sniff the leather box on a handle hims had in his hand. Me doesn't need fixed. Me is alright just like me is.
Anyway this training man show Mommy and Dadddy hims dog and how well behaved her was off the leash and would thems like me to be like her. Of course thems said yes. So this training man put a funny looking collar on me little boxer neck and a leash on me own collar. Of course me had to take the leash in me mouth. That's what me does. All of a sudden there was a buzzing feeling on me neck. Me dropped the leash from me mouth, jumped and looked all around but there was nothing. WHAT WAS THAT!!! WHAT WAS THAT!!! Then the training man said thank you. That was odd, it was like hims had made the buzzing feeling me neck but hims was not near me. This happened a few more times when me would take the leash in me mouth and every time after the buzzing feeling hims would say thank you.
Mommy and Daddy think this is wonderful and are talking about spending the money to train me with the buzzy thing. The training man put the buzzing part of the collar on Mommy's hand to show her what me was feeling and it didn't hurt her. Well to be honest it doesn't really hurt at all it just sort of startles me when it buzzs and makes me look up. The training man says it is a nice way of getting me attention and controlling me off leash. Me isn't so sure.

It was an accident
Me was laying by mommy's chair in her office when it happened. Me don't know what came over me or why me did it. Me was bored maybe or maybe me was trying to get hers attention All of a sudden it happened. Me flipped up the end of mommy's oriental carpet and started ripping at the underlining. Mommy heard the ripping sound and spunned around in hers chair and caught me red handed with the carpet lining in me little boxer mouth. Mommy was not very happy with me at all. Her's said in her loud, not happy at Murphy voice "MURPHY NO!!!!" MURPHY YOU ARE A BAD DOG!!!" Me hates it so much when mommy is not happy with her little boxer puppy. Mommy had just been bragging about what a good puppy me was and how in the 7 months thems had me that me hadn't destroyed but 2 things that wasn't mine. And then me did this. Lucky for Mommy that her heard me ripping the lining and stopped me.
Mommy also told me that some peoples was coming over tomorrow night from a place called "Sit Happens". Her says thems are going to give us a free demonstration of how thems trains dogs to behave. Now me isn't sure what this is supposed to mean. Everybody knows me is a very well behaved boxer puppy. Me can sit, lay down, stay, walk on a leash (although me does pull some) come when me is called (most of the time), fetch and best of all me is house broke and crate trained. Okay so me gets excited when company comes and me does jump up on people but this is only me natural boxer exuberance. So what can these people show mommy and daddy?
Murphy, who is already a well behaved puppy.

The Weatherman made another mistake
It looks like tha weatherman can't get the weather right. Hims said there was a chance of snow but no accumulation. Well me just looked out tha door and guess what???? It's snowing and it's snowing alot!!! Mommy is home sick today so hers doesn't have to drive in tha snow except to go to tha doctor later this morning.
Mommy has been sick for about a week and hers is not in a very good mood when it comes to having a little boxer puppy sleeping with her. Me is just trying to snuggle up close to her to keep hers warm but Mommy gets grumpy when me lays me head on hers or kicks her with me paws. Then hers kicks me out of tha bed. Me doesn't let that discourage me from trying to keep her warm and gets right back in tha bed with her. Sometimes her kicks me out two or three times. When that happens me get back in tha bed but me doesn't snuggle up to her so close. Me sure hope this doctor person will make her feel better. Me doesn't like it when mommy doesn't feel well.

Tha Weatherman on tha news made a mistake
Does this look like we aren't going to get any snow??? What is it that me is standing in and is falling on me little boxer face???? Me may be a puppy but this is snow!!!
Does this mean that me and mommy won't get to go to tha dog park today?? Mommy is off ya know and me was a good boy and letted her sleep until almost 8:30 this morning. This is cause me wanted to go to tha dog park and play. Now look at this sudden change in plans. It is fun to run around in that snow and maybe in a little bit mommy will come outside and sit in the hot tub while it snows. Then me could run all over tha place.
Me thinks me has had enough of this snow. Me don't have a snow suit or snow boots to wear in this kind of nasty weather. Woof, woof maybe me ought to think about going back inside until Mommy is ready to come out and play. No sense getting all cold and wet for nothing.
Okay this is better. Me will just chew on this nice chew toy that me daddy got me and wait for mommy to go outside.

Tha Broncos WON!!!
It was a very exciting evening last night. Mommy and Daddy had to cxl thems plans for having peoples over for dinner cause everybodys sick. This includes Mommy and Daddy but that didn't stop thems from watching the Broncos game yesterday evening and screaming and yelling. Mommy scared me when hers got screaming for Champ Baywee running down the sideline. Hims almost made a touchdown on that run. Now if that had been yours truly running that ball there would have been a touchdown made cause me would'nt have gotten tired like Champ Baywee did. Anyway Mommy and Daddy are really happy cause tha Broncos one their game. Thems is going to watch the game today and root for Pittsburg (who Mommy actually hates) so thems will have to come to Denver and get beated by our Broncos.
We wented to tha dog park today. Me was having a really good time and was playing with a husky. Me wanted to give him a boxer hug but hims didn't like me pressing hims up against the picnic table so hims getted into a fight with me. This ole husky was serious about fighting with me too!!! Daddy had to grab me collar to pull me away and the huskys daddy had to grab hims collar and pull hims away. Me didn't want to fight cause me is really a lover. Some other dogs camed later and me could play with thems. Daddy was concerned cause hims had never seen me act agressive but me had to defend meself.
Mommy says it's time to go watch Pittsburg beat up on tha Colts.

Who Let Da Dawgs Out??? Woof Woof
See my bully buddy Baywee wants to play football for tha Broncos just like me does. Only hers thinks hers has to wait until hers if five years old. Me is going to do like Maurice Vick and declare meself eligible for the draft even if me will only be one year old. So here's tha plan.
Me's had mommy and daddy take pictures of me practicing football to send to Mike Shanahan so hims can see what a wonderful running back me would make. All Baywee has to do is get her mommy to send pictures of hers playing football with Jay too. Then Mr Shanahan will see that me is the bestest running back hims could have and that Baywee would make a wonderful blocker/tackler. See this is what we would do. Jake would pass tha ball down tha field and me would catch it in me mouth (this would really trick the other team) and Baywee would be running in front of me and block everyone. Nobody would suspect cause hers would be way down low and catch them in tha shins and while tha other team was trying to figure out what hit them why me would be carrying that ball down tha field for a touch down. And here's the bestest part, them other team players wouldn't be looking for the ball carrier to have the ball in hims mouth so thems wouldn't be able to get it from me. This is a wonderful idea don't ya think??

See this is mommy pretending to be Jake Plummer (only hers is prettier) and hers is getting ready to pass the ball to me. Go long Murphy!
Okay Murphy lets try this play again. Only this time you have to run it to our goal post. Lets get it right. On the count of 10.
It's Daddy's turn. Maybe hims is a better quarterback than Mommy. If thems can't get tha plays right how can me look good in these pictures. Mr Shanahan won't pick me if hims thinks me doesn't know what me is doing. Just throw tha ball! Me can catch, honest!!!
Come on Daddy, now you has to chase me and try to tackle me. Thats how thems football.players does it.
This is me touch down dance
Isn't these some awesome pictures of me playing football??? Me thinks me will make tha team for sure next year. Then when me is signed for 3 million dog bones a year me will be tha richest boxer in tha world. Then maybe the next year me can be a free agent! Look out Champ Baywee here me comes.

Crazy things happening in me house
Me is really worried about the Mommy's sanity! Let me tell you what happened when hers got home from work this evening.
Mommy came home and there was some packages waiting for her. Hers was very excited and went to tha spare bedroom to open them. There was all sorts of things in them packages and hers was very happy. Then it happened....hers went crazy. All of a sudden hers went crazy. Hers started pulling all of the furniture out of tha spare bedroom and putting it in hers and daddys room. Then hers went into her office and pulled out all of tha stuff in there and put it in tha spare bedroom.
Everything was going okay me thinks cause of course Mommy had Supervisor Puppy helping her. Mommy did keep saying "Murphy MOVE" Why all me was doing was helping Mommy hold down the rug by standing on it. I don't know why hers wanted me to move. How can a Supervisor Puppy supervise if hims is always having to move out of tha way??? Me was sniffing everything and even found a minature blue donkey that me thought would be fun to chew on but Mommy caught me. Mommy decided to move her desk out of her office and into tha spare bedroom. Hers got it in the door and got stuck. Me tried very hard not to laugh but it was really hard not to. Mommy got tha desk back in her office and got out into tha hall and tried again. This time hers got the desk out of the office and into the hall and headed into tha spare bedroom and guess what? Hers got stuck again!!! This time hers got the desk wedged in the door of tha spare bedroom and hers was in tha spare bedroom. Me was laughing so hard that me had to go hide so Mommy wouldn't hear me.
Mommy was so stuck me thought hers was going to have to stay in tha spare bedroom until Daddy got home and that was going to be very late cause hims was at Ricks house. Mommy managed to lift her one leg up really high and get it over that desk and had on leg in tha hall and one in the spare bedroom. Oh my but it was funny sight. Then hers managed to get the other leg up realy high and get out of tha spare bedroom. Next hers took all the furniture that had been in that spare bedroom and put it in hers office.
After all the furniture was in different rooms and in different places, hers went into what was her officed and put the things that was in the packages on the bed to make it look pretty. Then hers stood back and looked very pleased with herself. Then hers stood on the step stool and took down that curtains (perfectly good ones too) and put up new ones. Hers seems very pleased with herself and made Daddy come look at what her had done.
All of this is very confusing. What possessed Mommy to do such stange things??? When me needs to make the blanket in me crate softer me just moves it into a wad. Me doesn't need to drag it into the other room. Me is still scratching me little boxer head wondering what in the world got into Mommy. Everything was perfectly A OK the way it was before hers had this fit and went crazy moving things. Now me has to learn where everything is again. This is going to take all weekend and me has important Boxer things to do.

Mommy got tha desk back in her office and got out into tha hall and tried again. This time hers got the desk out of the office and into the hall and headed into tha spare bedroom and guess what? Hers got stuck again!!! This time hers got the desk wedged in the door of tha spare bedroom and hers was in tha spare bedroom. Me was laughing so hard that me had to go hide so Mommy wouldn't hear me.
Mommy was so stuck me thought hers was going to have to stay in tha spare bedroom until Daddy got home and that was going to be very late cause hims was at Ricks house. Mommy managed to lift her one leg up really high and get it over that desk and had on leg in tha hall and one in the spare bedroom. Oh my but it was funny sight. Then hers managed to get the other leg up realy high and get out of tha spare bedroom. Next hers took all the furniture that had been in that spare bedroom and put it in hers office.
After all the furniture was in different rooms and in different places, hers went into what was her officed and put the things that was in the packages on the bed to make it look pretty. Then hers stood back and looked very pleased with herself. Then hers stood on the step stool and took down that curtains (perfectly good ones too) and put up new ones. Hers seems very pleased with herself and made Daddy come look at what her had done.
All of this is very confusing. What possessed Mommy to do such stange things??? When me needs to make the blanket in me crate softer me just moves it into a wad. Me doesn't need to drag it into the other room. Me is still scratching me little boxer head wondering what in the world got into Mommy. Everything was perfectly A OK the way it was before hers had this fit and went crazy moving things. Now me has to learn where everything is again. This is going to take all weekend and me has important Boxer things to do.

Mommy Snores!!!!!
How is a little boxer puppy supposed to get a good nights sleep when hims Mommy snores!!!! And her was snoring really loud too!!! Most of tha time when Mommy snores it sounds like a kitty purring and it's really cute, but last night (cause her has a cold in her nose) her sounded like a lion roaring when her snored. It was so scary that me had a really, really hard time going to sleep. Mommy would wake herself up from the roaring and then get mad a me for being snuggled so close to hers. What's a little boxer puppy to do me asks you??? Me wanted to be close to hers cause hers was sick and maybe needed to have a little boxer loving to make hers feel better, plus that noise hers was making made me a little tiny bit nerbous. Anyways, we tussled alnight long. Everytime Mommy would wake herself up from snoring, then hers would push me off of her and try to make me lay at the foot of the bed. Well of course me would try to get right back next to her so me could watch over her and stay safe meself. Hers was really grumpy when hers got up this morning. Mommy said hers didn't get enough sleep cause that silly dog woudldn't stay off of her. Well how does hers think me felt??? Me didn't get enough sleep either!!!! Me sure hopes hers is better tonight. Me don't think me can go through another night like last night. Someone will have to go sleep on the sofa and it isn't going to be me!!

A good start to a new year
Me is off to a good start for this new year. Today when Mommy took me to the explorer, opened up the back hatch and said "Murphy you know where you need to go" Me hopped right into the crate in the back like a very good boy. Mommy was very happy (and me likes to make mommy happy) and said me was the smartest boy in tha whole world. Me still doesn't like riding in that ole crate in the back of the explorer but if it means me gets to go with Mommy on rides more often then me guesses it will just have to be.
We wented to tha Dog Park so me could play. There was a man there with a dog and hims didn't want me to play with hims dog. Hims called his dog to him everytime me wanted to play with it. Mommy and Daddy said that ole man was a snob and didn't want to associate with the working class. Then some peoples came with a very handsome Eskimo Spitz and we played for a long time. It was great fun. Mommy says that in a couple weeks hers is going to take me to Boxer Play Day so me can play with other boxers and American Bulldogs like me.
All in all it's been a pretty good start to the new year. Me sure hopes it stays this way!!!

Happy New Years!!!
Happy New Years Everybody!
Me got to go to me very firstest New Year's Eve Party with Mommy and Daddy last night. The party was in tha mountains at our friends Rick and Donna. Everybody was there including their dogs Molly and Jenny. This is a special kind of party where everybody eats yummy food, drinks lots of good drinks and waits for midnight to come on tha clock.
Me did get into a bit of trouble but it wasn't my fault. Rick said it was cause me didn't know the boundaries of thems house that me got into trouble. See this is what happened. Me went into the house and greeted everybody including the other dogs then me decided it would be a good thing to go through the house and mark spots so that if other dogs came into the house thems would know that Murphy had been there. WELL this was not good manners for a puppy who is a guest in someone else's house. Me got fussed at for trying to mark the corner of the fireplace. Me didn't know that me couldn't do that. Me could smell that other dogs had been there and me thought leaving me calling card was just polite. NOPE, this is a really big NO NO when visiting. Mommy had to go wipe up the floor where me calling card had runned down the side of the hearth. Okay so me can't leave calling cards inside the house when me goes visiting but me can do it outside the house. Got it.
Then we all wented down stairs to look a something and me was sniffing around and found a spot where another dog had used the bathroom and yep, you guessed it. Me decided to use the same spot. Rick caught me doing that after it was too late and once again Mommy had to clean up after me only this was messier. Hers wasn't happy with me at all. Mommy was very sorry and said me hadn't had an accident in the house in months but as Rick pointed out, it wasn't me house and me didn't know tha rules. Okay so me can't poop inside someone else's house even if it's the same place another dog may have pooped along time ago. Got it.
Then me was being very a good party animal (at least me thought so) and was trying to get them other dogs to play with me. Jenny was really old and hers didn't want to play cause hers was limping and me could accept that. Molly is a young dog and hers has a really nasty attitude when it comes to being polite to her guests. Hers kept nipping me on tha nose when me tried to play with her. Mommy went and gotted me leash and put me on it to keep me out of trouble. Thems had brought tha crate too so when it was time for them to eat the yummy New Year's Eve dinner, Mommy took me upstairs and put me in the crate while thems ate. Okay so me can't be a nusicance during dinner when visiting other peoples. Got it.
After dinner we watched TV and mommy fed me some really yummy treats called Hors de Ouvers that was left over from earlier. This was really good cause me understood how to do this. The best part though was when everybody went back downstairs to watch the peoples play a game called Ping Pong. Now this is a very strange game. See tha peoples have these really little balls and thems hits it back and forth on a table. Me thought that when it bounced off the table that me was suppose to get tha ball and play keep away. Seemed like a good idea to me. NOPE, wrong again. Boxer puppies can't play Ping Pong its only for humans.
At midnight it was a New Year and everybody had champagne and was tooting on noise makers and this was big fun and guess what. Me didn't get into trouble at all during this time. Everybody is suppose to get rowdy when the New Year arrives so me was a very good puppy for that. Me even got to have a sip of champagne to celebrate. It tickled me nose cause it had bubbles. We spended the night cause it was very late and came home today. Thank goodness, cause me knows what me is supposed to do here.
