Spencer goes to the lake!

Seeing as my mom and I were sick this week, and my dad was gone, Spencer didn’t get to do much. But come Saturday, my dad was back and I was feeling better, and Spencer got to take a trip to the lake!

When we first got there, it was a long walk to the actual lake, and Spencer was happy to get to do some exploring. When we finally got there, Spencer was flabbergasted that there was so much water in one place. After a while he didn’t really mind being in the water and he somehow managed a ball. We threw the ball for him for a while, but he lost interest. But soon after we found a stick for him and he had a lot of fun. Towards the end of the trip, he had a little pile of sticks, and I managed to find a tree for him. His eyes went wide as he saw it and I threw it in the water for him. He tried to pick it up but had no luck. After a while though it was time to go home. He had a lot of fun but was very tired when we got home.

Spencer’s growing up!

These past few weeks, Spencer has had many accomplishments. Along with learning visit, car, and out, he also got to go to work with my dad, went to restaurants with my family and I, and he even went to a concert!

Spencer really enjoys being with my dad, so he was very excited when he went to work with my dad and got to spend all day with him. He slept in my dads office while my dad worked, met lots of new people, and got to run around and play too! Spencer has his own name tag too, which I thought was awesome.

He has also gone to a few restaurants with us, which he has done very good in all of them. We put him in a down stay, and he usually will stay the whole time, especially the times he falls asleep. Spencer is calm during these trips, and overall a very good puppy!

Yesterday, the School of Rock put on a Van Halen tribute concert. We decided to go and check it out, and we brought Spencer along. It was very loud in there, because is it really a concert if you don’t crank it up? Spencer was a little stressed because of the noise, but was excited in meeting a few new people, and overall did very good!

It’s amazing how fast time has flown by! My little puppy who just wanted to explore, now watches T.V. with me, knows many tricks, goes lots of places with us, and he got huge! Because of how well he’s doing, I have reason to believe that he’s going to make as a CCI service dog, if he gets a little less stubborn.

Spencer Speaks!

Sorry for not updating this for a while. We’ve been BOMBARDED with snow. We’ve actually had so much, that Spencer’s been wondering, where’s a guy to pee?

In recent weeks, a very exciting event has happened for Spencer, he learned to speak! I will post a video of him speaking, and if you don’t know why my dad and I are laughing so hard, it’s because Spencer  has a tendency to shoot his food out when he speaks.

 

It’s hard to believe how big Spencer’s gotten! I caught believe I only have a year left with him! We also have a few puppies leaving to graduate in our class! I’d like to wish Russ, Edwin, Iden, and Crystal the best of luck! (Sorry if I added anyone in, misspelled their name, or forgot anyone!) I know you guys will do great!

Spencer goes to PA again!

This week, Spencer went to Pennsylvania with my parents, friend and I. We had a lot of fun!

On our first day, we mainly just drove there and relaxed that night. Not very eventful but Spencer seemed to have fun.

The Second day we stayed home mainly. But we also went to the lodge and walked around. Spencer was very good and was not getting very distracted.

On our third day, we went home and he got to meet my friends dog, Molly, although they did not get along very well. Spencer has also learned to play soccer and he got to go to a museum with us today!

Update

Sorry about the last two weeks, I’ve been in Pennsylvania and forgot to post one. But to update you he had a lot of fun in Pennsylvania with my family, my friend and I. He didn’t seem to like the slush too much though. We also went to puppy class and he learned sit, lay down and stand from a distance. We also worked on stay and a few other things.

 

As I said earlier, Spencer’s big event this week was going to Pennsylvania. We have also been working on heel, stand, and car with him. He does not do well with car at the moment but is getting there.

 

Hope you have a great week!

Spencer’s shopping experience

Spencer recently walked to the marketplace near us. He got to go through many stores and seemed to have a good time.

Spencer went to Safe Way, which is now one of the biggest stores he’s been in. He did very good in there and was calm. He also went to Starbucks, which must have been fun smelling all the new smells of coffee and such. Another store he went was the local pet store! He got to see all the little puppies the keep up front. He seemed excited at first, but then got annoyed when the puppies wouldn’t be quiet. The last store he went to was Blockbuster, which he was also very calm in.

 

Hope you had a great week, thanks for reading!

Spencer meets more of the family

This week, my brother and his girlfriend came up to visit. Spencer liked them a lot and was sad to see them go.

 

When they first came up, Spencer was excited to meet some new people. He really liked playing with Bret and really wanted to meet Samantha (which got him in a lot of trouble for jumping and licking).

On the first morning of their trip, we went to Pennsylvania to go skiing. Spencer sat in the car the whole time and was calm most of the trip. When we got their, we unpacked and Spencer played ball with my brother and dad a lot. We played with Spencer a lot on our trip and had a very good time. I sat with Spencer the whole way back and he was very good….until he tried to help me play games on the computer.

 

Thank you for reading this and I hope you have a happy new year!
