Bark in the park

Preston attended “Bark in the Park 2007” in Naglee Park, San Jose. There were over a thousand dogs attending.
Preston has never seen so many doggies before.

Preston entered the silly trick contest. Mommy was trying to get him to do the nike ball trick (one of the seven golf balls is Nike, Preston has to pick the Nike ball out and drop it in the box) Not only did he fail to do the trick, he was running around on the stage and completely ignoring Mommy (while hundreds of people were watching…) Mommy had to have little “talk” with Preston when we got home.

Preston met his look-a-like Maverick who was also one of Chelle’s puppies.

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).

Puppy Class – Watch me !!

Today was the second puppy class. What Preston really needs to work on is how to walk properly with a leash. He needs a lot of work in this area as he gets easily distracted and runs ahead or away and not watch to see where we’re going. So when we’re walking and he stray off, we need to remind him to “watch me” as mommy is doing.

Napa Valley

We went to Napa this past weekend and we took Preston with us. Luckily the weather wasn’t too warm so that when we left him inside the car it wouldn’t get too hot. When we visited Sterling Vineyards. we took him outside and he enjoyed running around the grass area and walking around the vineyard. I think he even enjoyed eating one of the grapes that are used to make Merlot. At that time we didn’t know that grapes may be poisonous to dogs in large quantities. No, he didn’t get to drink some wine, he’s still a puppy. It was a bit chilly outside and so he was wearing his sweater.
