Wanna Social Network with Me?

  I’m in Facebook!
Raindrop here. Mom is chillin’ so I thought I’d write in her blog for her.

Plus I’ve got big news.
I finally have a profile in Facebook!

I’ve been bugging Mom about me and Facebook for months.

I’m the Offical Mascot for the Chapter Leaders Playground.
I need to help get the word out.
Facebook is a hip place to be.

So [...]

I Think She’s Still Mad at Me

 So I thought I’d help Mom by writing in her blog today.
Raindrop here.
First of all, thank you to everyone who emailed asking how I’m doing.

I’m fine.
I did some mystery eating.
It didn’t stay down.

Mom hates my mystery eating.

She doesn’t understand.
It’s my thing.
It’s like I get blinders on when I see something that might be tasty.

I don’t like [...]

I Should Have Known Better…

  All the warning signs were there.
Tonight, we had quite the adventure with Raindrop.
The first sign something was off - she wanted to sleep near my head.

Usually Raindrop sleeps at the foot of our bed.
Tonight, she insisted on being higher up.
Maybe she was still getting over my week on the road? (Hah!)

She moved to get even closer [...]

I Feel Like a Rock Star…

  With adoring fans!
I’ve just spent a week on the road attending ASAE’s annual meeting in San Diego then speaking this morning in Indianapolis.
I finally arrived home tonight.

James picked me up from the airport with a big kiss and welcome home gift.
The waiter at our favorite restaurant said he missed me.

And then there’s my dog Raindrop…

She [...]

Raindrop, the Psychic Dog Knows…

  I’m about to go on the road for a week!
Yesterday Raindrop stared at me while I worked.
 
Last night she was relentless.

Raindrop wanted to be close.
She wanted my attention.
All through the night.

Finally I got up at 4 AM.

It was obvious Raindrop was agitated.
And I wasn’t going to get to sleep.

So I trudged downstairs thinking…

I’m about to fly to [...]

There’s a New Kid in Town…

  Her name is Tutu.
Raindrop spent the last week at her grandparents with her new “sister” Tutu.
Tutu is a 10-pound rat terrier.

She’s a rescue dog.
She’s the pesky little sister Raindrop never wanted to have.
Raindrop loves her already.

My parents keep Raindrop for us a few weeks every year due to travel.
Mom and Dad had to put Snowy to sleep [...]

And the Truly Great Trainer is…

   Me!
Raindrop here. Mom’s busy working on the Chapter Leaders Playground fall schedule, so I dragged her extra laptop into my house - and here I am!
Mom cracks me up about how she’s training me to speak.

Come on, deep down I’m a dog.
I’m on the official neighborhood greeting committee because I bark so well.

She’s not [...]

Speak Superstar Speak!

  Speak for a treat.
I’ve been working on teaching Raindrop to speak on command.

She barks a lot.
We live on a corner.
She likes to say “hi” to everyone.

According to the pros, the best way to teach a dog to not bark is to teach them how to speak on command.
It’s been a trip.
At first I had [...]
