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. 

Loyal Companion Grand Opening

Mama went to the grand opening of Loyal Companion this weekend in Rockville, Md. She picked up a free goodie bag with new treats and bought us some small toys. I already chewed up and tore up my blue birdy. Sister got the unicorn and we have the sock monkey left to play with. I can't wait for mama to open up the new treats for us to munch on~!

The Dog Walker Company Harness

Mama got me this new harness for our walks. It's so comfy and is not complicated to put on, like some harnesses. I just need to be calm when it is being placed on me when we go walking. The dog harness was bought from TJ Max in size small, since I am a tiny little girl. It's normally $12 online but we got it for $6.99. It is considered to be 'cute and in control'. Description : Durable Material Reflector Accents Easy-Clean Fabric Breathable Mesh Fabric Dual Steel Loop Attachments  The harness has Velcro to wrap around my body and also a snap to secure it in place. I like that there is two loop attachments to hold onto my leash when I walk. When my humans tug on me, it doesn't hurt.
