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.

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.

RIP Jade

Today was a sad day for our family. Jade passed away suddenly. We are not sure what happened but I think she passed away peacefully in her bed. We assume that with all her surgeries that she had from the beginning of the year til now, that her little body couldn't take it anymore. We will definitely miss her dearly. Jade was my first dog. I remember getting her from the Today's Pet Store in Columbia, Md. She was very timid and sleeping but once she got use to living with us she turned out to be the most friendliest and hyper dog. She has the most lovable personality. She loved to play with her rope. We would try to hide it from her and she would always find it. Once she found it she would want us to throw it so she could play fetch. She would never really get tired. The kids loved playing fetch with her. Jade's other favorite thing to do was go on long walks to the park or around the neighborhood. It was our time together, no kids or Stitch. I really hope she is up in...
