Well, I made it to the beginning of my first “new year” and I’m feeling good and looking good and generally a happy dog. You may have noticed that I haven’t been writing as much as I used to. There’s a reason for that: nothing much happens with me anymore. Sure, I saw my first snowfall (and, no, I didn’t get lost). And, sure, I’ve perfected the art of barking at anything that dares to move on my street (especially after 11PM). And, sure, I’m about 2/3 through my “roll over” lessons (I’m still ending up on my back, but I get a treat anyway…my trainer’s a softie).
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not doing nothing (and excuse, please, the double negative; your language continues to baffle me). For example, I find that I can now sleep nearly 23 hours a day if the people I live with would just respect my hobby 
Oh, I have met some new people. Annette came in from California and it was nice to meet her. She’s very nice and I can tell that she likes puppies like me.
Sometimes, though, I get to leave our home and go on “errands”. On the very first day of this year, I went to Chelsea for the first time and I was impressed. While Stacie and Miriam went into a Market Basket that had 34 checkout lines, I tried to drive.
As usual, I couldn’t reach the pedals, so it was another frustrating afternoon. Happily, I got to have a hamburger when we got home. I suppose it’s more accurate to say that I had “hamburger meat” (still can’t fit a bun in my mouth), but it was delicious.
And, when we got home, I ran out in the snow and I got huge (for me) balls of snow stuck in my fir. I wish I had a picture to show you, but I don’t. It was as if I’d decided to dress up as a cotton ball dispenser! Or, as if I was using marshmallows as flotation devices. I mean covered with small snowballs! I was shivering, so I had to have some of them cut off of me. But, I’m fine now.
I hope that I have a great 2010 and that you do, too!
