Lay Down Command Update

I'm getting a lot  better understanding the command 'Lay Down'. Mama has been baking treats, and those treats are my rewards for doing the command. The newest treat is gingerbread man shaped, made with Gerber oatmeal and Gerber baby food.

Recently, I've been understanding the command a lot quicker than the first day I started. Mama, would say lay down and I'd so a little spin and sit sometimes, however, eventually, I would get the point and lay down so I can get my treat. I won't get my treat if I don't do the command properly. Sometimes I'm sneaky and just want to lay down and not want to get back up after I get my treat, cause you know I'm already in the position so just continue giving me treats... but that's not how it works. Mama gets so proud of me and calls me a good girl when I do the lay down command correctly. I think we will continue practicing. Mama wants to teach me how to roll over next. Maybe we will make a video of me using my new command soon.

Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, Coconut Oil and Banana Dog Treats

Before the year ended I finished all the dog treats mama had made for me a couple of weeks ago. So she tried a new recipe but added a few things. Mama ran out of the baby oatmeal from the last batch. So she used regular Quaker oats and used the food processor to grind it finely. Anyways, we hope you enjoy making these treats as much as we did.  Ingredients:  1 1/4 cup Oatmeal 1/4 cup peanut butter 3 tablespoon Coconut Oil 1 medium banana Directions:  Grind up oatmeal. Place in large bowl, mix in banana, coconut oil, and peanut butter.  Create small balls and and then flatten them with a spoon Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake for 15-20 minutes. When done, leave in oven to cool. This makes the treats firm up. 

Greenbelt Pet Expo

Jade attended the  Greenbelt Pet Expo on Saturday June 1, 2019. It was her first outing since her surgeries. The expo was not too big, about a block, which had a good amount of friendly vendors. She met a few new people and dogs in the area. Most of the vendors were selling dog related products and the SPCA was there providing vaccinations for a small fee. I obviously had to get my puppy girl some treats. I even got to play in the Greenbelt dog park before heading home. It was an enjoyable day~! Please enjoy the photo's we took at the event. =)

I'm a Pumpkin

Hi, I'm Jade, I'm a puppy. Well, I'm not really a puppy anymore at 5 years old, but I will always be my mama's puppy girl. I am a mix of Yorkie and Pomeranian.  So every year, mama dresses me up for Halloween. This year I will be rotating one of my costumes to be a pumpkin again. It wasn't easy getting me to keep the pumpkin hat on but mama was able to get a photo of me in my costume before I decided to take it off my head. I loves taking walks and playing with my rope. We take weekend strolls around the neighborhood with my family. I have met several new dogs along the way. I am very friendly and playful pup. If you give me food I will love you forever, what dog wouldn't?  I also spends time with my mama working out in the mornings. I would consider myself her  workout buddy that she can always depend on. I love to run around in the basement while she does her routine. I love having her around to keep me company. We even do selfies after for fu...
