Petsmart Graduate of 2010

Alright, I know you've all been on the edge of your seats waiting to hear if Leo passed
Puppy Education Class... and if you look below,
you will see a very happy graduate wearing his super cool graduation cap!




Leo was very excited for last night's "ceremony."  We have been practicing very important commands such as,

  • Leave it
  • Take it 
  • Drop it
  • Stay 
  • Shake
  • Don't pee on the floor  
Unfortunately, Leo was only able to follow some of these commands during graduation (the excitement of the event was just too overwhelming, I'm sure).  That's okay, though, he still received his Petsmart Diploma and had one last romp with his puppy class.

The eight weeks of Leo's puppy class seemed to fly.  Believe it or not, Leo is now 50 pounds (somehow he gained 7 pounds over the last 2 weeks).  He continues to bulk up - must be all that cat food he sneaks in when I'm not looking - and be an excellent walking buddy as I continue on my own "journey."

I have received 2 more donations!  Thank you to Aunt Diane, Uncle Pierre, Katie, Jacy & Elena.  Your support means so much.  I'm on my way to raising enough to participate in the walk and I'm very excited about this.

This upcoming weekend - as I continue to mentally and physically prepare for Killer Gymnastics on Tuesday - I will be taking my buddy out on some lengthy treks around Arlington.  There are plenty of trails around the area that have yet to be traveled and hopefully my pedometer will be working correctly by then.

The weather here in NoVA has been decent, although tonight we're getting rain and I'm almost, almost, almost ready to take out my non-winter jackets.  Yes, that's jackets in the plural form.  Within my family, it's known that it's not enough to just purchase "one" of something, you always need multiples "just in case."  (I love you, Aunt Diane!)

I ask you all to continue to spread the word about the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and visit my Avon Walk Website page to make an online donation:

Thank you!

  1. Leo, you look so handsome in your graduation cap. You are such a good dog for learning so much in 8 short weeks -- and for the stuff you didn't learn as well as you should have, it will come to you .

    I'm going to download your pic. and show it to all the church people. Love, Auntie Debbie

  2. haha. Yes, it is important to purchase the item desired and then follow it up with another item in a different color or style. However, once the shopper is home, the items should be tried on again, and the "extras" should be returned. Ummmmm.... right? :-)
