my very first ......

Just when I think that there can't be something new for me to do.. Mom comes up with yet another idea. This is me on my first visit to church!!! It really isn't any different from some of the other places that we go, except that Mom said I need to be nice and quiet and stay "under" the seat. OK for me, I'll just take a little nap.

The people at "church' seemed very excited to see me. From what I understand, once they knew that Mom had a "new puppy" they have been asking when will I be there. Mom brought all her other puppies to church, so now it's my turn. I loved saying hello to all these new folks...

I got lots of hugs and pats... and even worked on my "lap" command. I like church, I hope I get to do this more often.

I did have to wait quietly while Mom had coffee and talked with her friends, but I am learning how to wait and be a good girl.

We popped in at the vet's office as well. Mom likes to have me weighed on the scale. This is the easiest thing to do.. just jump on and sit still.. I can do that....

Course, I always get a lot of attention there too. I don't mind going to the vets.. sometimes, I need to get a shot or two.. but overall... it's no big deal.

After we went to the vet's office, Mom took Camille and I to the pet shop and did a little shopping. Camille knows where all the good things are and I just followed her lead.... I like pet shops too......

But then, the most amazing "first" thing happened.. Mom called it snow.. and my goodness was it ever wonderful!!!! I had a little trouble doing "better go now".. because I was too busy just checking out this wonderful stuff....

I love to run in the snow!!! Mom laughed to watching me run big circles around her in the yard...

And stopping once in awhile to eat a big mouthful of it. I wanted to do all, run, eat, roll ... I couldn't make up my mind what to do first or when. I was happy that Mom spent so much time outside with me...

And then she let me go out with all the cockers for more snow time. The older dogs don't seem quite as excited about it as I am.. guess they have seen it a few times before. We came in cold and wet, but it was such fun!!! I hope there will be more snow to play in....

Abbie was just as excited about the snow as I was... she did pretty much the same thing too.. ran in it....

eat a little of it, and roll around and made snow angels... so, I guess I did all the right things when it came to the snow!!!!
