Joining the pack

 Dear Future Person,

I am getting old enough to leave my mom and siblings.  My puppy trainer brought me to her room the other night and I got to join my new pack.  Serena is my oldest "sister."  She is a 6 year old black lab.  She was my puppy trainer's 1st service dog trainee.  Now she is an ambassador for My Angel With Paws and teaches new puppies like me how to be an awesome service dog.  Serena was my dad's mentor and now she is mine.  My other "sister" is Delaney.  She is a year old Labradoodle.  She is my newest playmate.  She loves to play chase and play with toys.  I think they are both pretty awesome.  I also think all my new toys are pretty awesome.

I have pretty big paws

 The other day I also got to meet my "uncle" Will.  He is my puppy trainer's brother.  He came to visit and had fun running around with me and my siblings.  We chased him a bunch.  It was fun

 

I am getting bigger and bigger by the day.  I am now 16 pounds and still the biggest of all my siblings.  I am really enjoying all my new adventures and looking forward to many more!

Love,

Lennon

1st Christmas

 Dear Future Person,

I celebrated what humans call "Christmas" last week.  I think it is the greatest holiday in the world.  I got presents and cookies.  What could be better? My puppy trainer was joking that after 28 years she finally got a puppy for Christmas.  I think I was worth the wait.

Best present ever

I love my new toy

 After opening presents I got to spend a little bit of time with the older dogs.  Then I got tucked into bed with visions of doggie treats dancing in my head.

Love,

Lennon

Day of firsts

Dear Future Person,

Today was a big day for me.  I had a day of many firsts.

First first:  My siblings and I went into the front yard and got to run around with my mom and Jada.  We had fun getting muddy, running and playing with all the new things we found.

After getting muddy, we all got out first bath.  I wasn't so sure about the water or about the blow dryer but eventually I just fell asleep while my puppy trainer dried me.  After getting all clean we were loaded into the car and taken to our first class at Disability Solutions.  I wore a leash and puppy vest for the first time.  I wasn't so sure about walking on leash at first but eventually got the hang of it.  I starting learning things like "sit," "down," "stand," "up," and "off."  We were told what good puppies we were.  After sleeping in the car on the way home we got to run around the yard again.  I am going to sleep well tonight!

Love,

Lennon

Hello my name is Lennon

Dear Future Person,

A whole bunch has gone on in the past month.  I have opened my eyes, opened my ears, started walking and eating puppy chow (just to name a few things).  My puppy trainer has also picked me and named me.  My name is Lennon.  I am the one with the green collar.  My puppy trainer says I am the fattest but I say I am just fluffy.

Me at 3 weeks

Me at 4 weeks

Me at 5 weeks

I love to snuggle and my tail loves to wag.  I am currently learning "sit"and "down."  I have another couple of weeks before I start living with my puppy trainer but until then me and my siblings are eating a ton (my best skill) and playing a lot.  

My puppy trainer and me

With love,

Lennon
