Life of Doc

Birthday "yep 4 sisters and 3 brothers - I am the cute, smart one!"

4weeks old  "I knew I was the one for Mom"

8 weeks old going home with Mom and I cried all the way from Soldotna to Anchorage unless Mom was petting me when she let me out of the crate - "I drove her crazy with the yelping, screaming and crying for my family".  Then for next week I cried nightly for my puppy mommy driving Mom more crazy.

9 weeks old and first car ride with Mom as "therapy dog for work".  I love car rides Never threw up or anything in the cars - I did other things that Mom can tell you about further down!

I got to go to park with a friend I am 3 months old and have don't have listening skills HAHAHAHA was told to not go in  water and we both did!  I even ran from Mom when she called me. 

Just over a Year old in Mom's boyfriend's truck who happens to own my love who is a black lab and she is awesome but she pissed at me at moment cause I am in her Daddy's truck...
"what did I do wrong?'

last fall watching my girlfriend swim practicing her retrieving - all I can say is
 "that water is Frigging cold on my balls and I ain't chasing her.
Plus I don't know how to swim...tried it once didn't like it - Ain't trying again"

at home looking handsome for Mom

Last week we went to Kenai.... "damn thats a long car ride but I was good all the way didn't chew on the seatbelts like I did when I was a baby and did the front and back passenger ones.
Mom got really mad when she had to have them replaced LOL
boy did she cuss at the cost"

Me telling Mom to 'hurry up" so I can run some more at one of my favorite places ... I don't like it when she can't keep up with me as I run 

Ya Mom takes another pic of me on a walk at Lynn Ary park a couple of weeks ago .... "Like I can read!"

Since I live by this school we often walk all around it
"this was just on Wednesday afternoon - it was a boring walk!"
 I like it better when  kids have been there...
they leave lots of trash all over so I can sniff
and get told "Drop it" "Leave it"

Mom and I do a lot of site seeing together but she also travels by herself at times so I get to stay at home with a good friend who spoils me but don't tell Mom she might get jealous.

My friend Courtney who takes me on walks & spoils me when Mom travels.

I am so lucky! I love a lot of people that are friends of Mom's and get to do things other dogs haven't  and my best trip was flying to St. Louis in April when I got to meet Aunt Kathy and Grandma!  "I'm only a little over 2 years old and life is pretty damn awesome!"

                      Seeing life through the eyes of Doc, 

                                      a standard poodle, 

                             is at times a jolt to my reality.
