New year's revolutions

Turtle's back! And he finally had some time today to think about his new year's resolutions, but he said he prefers to call them "revolutions." I think he felt inspired by the lovely view on our walk...

1. Stop jumping on strangers even if they think it's cute and egg me on
2. Stop barking at little kids in puffy jackets
3. Go on 3 camping trips and learn how to sleep in a tent without getting scared
4. Work on my English
5. Practice sleeping in on weekends
6. Eat more carrots

He would like all his puggle friends to hold him to these revolutions.

Fort FUNston!

Today Turtle explored a magical place called Fort Funston with his friends Preston, Wasabi, Freddy and Rocket.

What's a visit to the beach without a little hole digging...



T was anxious for his friends to arrive.



At last!

The sniff and greet.



Hello Wasabi. Nice to meet you too.



Did somebody say treat?



Goodbye Rocket - see you next time!

Turtle's first trip

Turtle recovered from his surgery just in time to enjoy his Thanksgiving trip to Colorado. Here he is with his new "go bag" that was packed with all his favorite toys and treats.



Turtle got to play with his cousin Daryl who is twelve years old, but who still gave T a run for his money.



He also got to meet his cousins Bella and Macy. The three of them had fun showing Tyler all the tricks they know.



But the best treat of all was the snow that fell on our last day in town. After eating half the snow in the yard, Turtle had a wheee of a time running through the rest. He can't wait to go back at Christmas!

Turtle's nemesis

Turtle is home recovering after his neuter surgery. He wouldn't let me post a picture of him, because he didn't want his fans to see him "in such a state." But he said I could post a picture of his nemesis as a warning to all other dogs: When you see the cone come out - run!

Thanks grandma!

Check out Turtle's new jacket - pretty sharp!

Now and then

Turtle is five months old today. Look how much he's grown.

Turtle's graduation

We're very proud of Turtle - he graduated from Puppy K last weekend! He loved going to "scoo" and made sure to sit in the front row so he could hear everything the teacher said.

Here's Turtle and Tyler outside of scoo on the first day (they were both a little nervous).



Turtle learned how to jump over poles. He was so fast the camera couldn't even catch him.



The teacher said he gives the best hand shake in the class, so Turtle was sure to do it over and over again just to make sure it was perfected.



And here he is having a race with his friend Chavvi. Turtle lost, but he was still a good sport and cheered Chavvi on in the finals.



Turtle can't wait for Jr. High!
