Busy boy

So much has happened in the past two weeks. A review of the highlights:

I got my first puppy cut and will share pictures in the coming days. The groomer gave me a report card! I got excellent grades. Uncle Bob said before I got cut I looked homeless. Now everyone says I look just like a Bedlington.

I'm losing my puppy teeth and have several big-boy teeth coming in. This is very painful, so mom got me a few new toys to chew on.

I've been learning this thing called agility. There's a tunnel set up, and I'm supposed to run through it. Everyone cheers when I make it on the other side, so that's fun. There's also a contraption I run up, across, and down. They cheer when I do that, too. I like that they're so proud, but I wonder if they know that all I'm doing is chasing a piece of cheese. I'd chase it up a wall if they asked me to!

In other active news, I'm swimming a fair amount. It's not my favorite. Mom holds a hand under my belly, or sometimes she just holds my tail up, and I swim a few feet across the pool. It's exercise, and I guess we all need it. But my favorite part is when I get out of the pool and they wrap me in a towel and snuggle me.
