Training and Mischief Making

So, I've been with my family a little over a week now and am settling in.  I've given up trying to sleep in bed with my parents and just use my own bed.  It's more comfortable than the floor.  Mom has actually threatened to steal it from me a few times.  My training is comung along nicely. I can do 'sit' and 'down' consistantly now.  We just started with 'stay'.  That ine is hard for me.  I like being near my parents too much!  I did gef to spen all day with them Sunday.  That morning, after I woke dad up, he wasn't amused, I played wifh rhe vacuum cleaner, and fhen, theybheld me down and trimmed my nails!  I wanted nothing to do with that.  After all that they took me out to see the calf again.  I barked a few times, then watched him a little.  Dad had to give him some water, so I ran back and forth with him from the well to the calf.  Dad said that one day, when mom is done training me, I'll be trained up to go to work with him and herd cattle.  I do like to run and I love herding.  I tried to herd mom and dad for awhile until I learned it didn't work on them...After we were done feeding and watering the calf, we got back in the truck and headed to the grocery store.  I wasn't happy to be left in the truck, but theg were back fast.  I was ready to see where we would go next and it turned out to be home...I was fine with that until they mentioned this word bath.  I didn't jnow what that was.  Then next thung I know, I'm wet! I tried to get away but figurednthat it would go by faster if I held still. I was rewarded with a new treat though, then we went back outside.  Dad wanted to clean the garage out.  First we went to the pasture across the street and played fetch though.  Then I spent the rest of the day enjoying the weather and watching dad.  Mom also bought me this thing called a Kong.  I wondered what It was.  In the meantume, she gave me a bottle fikked with my food to play with.  I could only play with It when she was around though.  She didn't want me tearing the bottle up.  My Kong came in yesterday.  I just spent the last 24 minutes playing with it.  I'm getting a little frustrated though, one treat us jammed in there good!  Anyway, I need to tell mom to fill my water bowl!
