“Happy New Year World” Lately I’ve been working on removing socks, retrieving shoes, and walking easy in environments of high stimuli (IE. Cats, Birds, Cool People). My uncles say I’m a smart boy, talented and able to learn quick. That makes me happy. This is going to be a great year for us. My hope is to keep refining my skills and manners. My mom and dad say I am handsome she that’s covered- now, I just have to learn how to be smooth and cool. See ya next month.

My birthday is in one week! I will be one year old and I am going to have a big party. Everyone is invited to bring lots of treats! I've been working hard on all of my skills. On the weekends I've been going to busy places and just relaxing. People try to call my name and get my attention, but it doesn't work because I know that I get a tasty reward every time I ignore them. I'm still working on my relationship with cats... those guys always look at me funny. I do my best to pay them no mind. Well, I'll keep you guys posted. See you next month!

This last month has been amazing! All my friends and I worked really hard to show off our skills at our friends’ graduation. There were a lot of people there. I was nervous at first, but gained back my confidence quickly because I was the first one up. I knocked it out of the park! They started clapping before I even finished my skill. All of my friends did great, and my little sisters, Cleo, and I read cue cards for everybody at the end. I was proud of all of us, and can’t wait for my graduation so that I can brighten someones life & bring them that good-ol’ “lucky charm.”
