Feeling better & getting smarter :)

Wow, I feel better. I get to take these pills with peanut butter & cheese for another 12 days (hey Auntie - I didn't know they made bad peanut butter? Mom says we eat the organic stuff & she stirs it a lot).
Sunday we went to the dog park again & had a blast. I met a bunch of dogs there, including one who is a little skittish of new people (like me). But her dad can play "I'm gonna get you" almost as good as MY dad, and we played that game a lot. It was great.
I'm getting better at meeting new people, but I still growl and back up if someone leans over & tries to pat my head. Ooooh - I just don't like that! I duck, growl, back up, and tuck my tail really low to try and tell them to quit it. Usually mom steps in and says I'm nervous with new people, and the person either walks away or crouches down so I can walk up to them. I wish people would quit reaching over my head to pat me, though, I don't like having to growl at them.
Oh! I learned a new trick! When mom waves her hand (like she's waving good bye) I walk backwards. So now I know Sit, Shake, Down, Beg, Circle, Go Crate, and Back Up. I do not want to learn how to play dead, but darn it she makes me practice that one over and over. For now I am playing dumb and hoping she gives up.
Today I'm back at daycare & I was happy to go in. There is a big dog that I'm playing with, he's a Great Pyrenees. And he's just not fast enough to catch me :)
I play with some really cute other dogs, wanna see some pictures?
Here I am going after Ailsa. She is a terrier & we play hard together. She is very, very fast and can turn quickly - just like me. The dog on the bridge is Brittany, she is a foster dog that lives at the daycare place. She's only a baby, and she's going to be big.
This is another picture of me and Brittany and Ailsa. Brittany is very playful, she's a lot of fun.
