Graduation from Siruis Training Puppy 2

I did it!  I graduated from puppy training level 2!!  Boy, this series of classes at Sirius Training took a lot of work and focus, but I did it!  I learned so much, and my instructor, Eleanor Stewart, was totally awesome.  She's patient, funny, and she always had the best treats for a job well done.  Highly recommend Sirius Training Puppy Levels 1 and 2.

My Friend Sarah

My Aunt Sarah came all the way from NY to meet me!  We went to Santa Cruz and we played all day.  I love Sarah - she gives me treats and endless kisses!  Aunt Sarah even asked me to be a guest blogger on her awesome baking blog, Fridays In Food!  I'm going to share my favorite homemade doggie treat recipes on her blog and mine.  Be sure to check it out next week! 

Bark Box January delivery!

I love surprises, so my mom subscribes to Bark Box, a really cool NYC company that provides monthly doggie shipments.  The fun part is that you don't know what's going to be in the box!  A shipment might include healthy, organic and/or all natural, made in the USA treats, toys and/or amenities.  They include a card describing the products and corresponding websites in case you want to order more.  The best part is that Bark Box donates 10% of proceeds to a local shelter or rescue.  I can't wait for my next Bark Box in mid-February.

My 1st trip - Lake Tahoe

My first road trip was to Lake Tahoe in December.  It was a trip of firsts - my first hotel stay (I was really good), my first 4+ hour car ride (my tummy got upset on the way there because I was so excited), and my first time playing in the snow.  I loved it and I can't wait to go back!  We stayed at the Deerfield Lodge at Heavenly.  A pet-friendly hotel, the rooms were very spacious and clean.  The King Suite had everything we needed including a living room, 2 fireplaces, a balcony and 2 full bathrooms.  It's walking distance to Heavenly lifts, restaurants, shopping, and the lake.  Highly recommend for any season!
