Happy Birthday!!!

Preston turns ONE today! He is no longer a puppy from now on.
Daddy and Mommy planned a birthday celebration for him on Sunday. Preston couldn’t invite any of his four pawed friends because he was still on quarentine (for the puppy wart) but he was happy to have the yummy Apple Cinnamon cake all to himself (he did let Daddy share a bite).

Quarantine

Daddy and Mommy had to break the sad news to Preston this weekend. The white bump on his tongue turns out to be a “puppy wart” (Canine Oral Papillomavirus). He must have gotten it when visiting the dog park. It is highly contagious so he has to be on quarantine until the wart goes away. This means no dog park and no playing with neighbors for few weeks, or possibly months!!! Poor thing…

Homemade Chicken Treats

When Presotn goes into his crate on command, he always “insists” on being rewarded with one of his favorites treats, dehydrated chicken strips. The warning on the package says “not for human consumption” got Mommy worried so Mommy made her own chicken treats that were good for both humans and Preston.

Sunny Morning Walk

Preston went for a morning walk with mommy in Bayfront Park, Menlo Park. There were so many ground squirrels that Preston didn’t know which one to chase after first.
