Preston’s first overnight trip away from home was to see the winter snow in Yosemite National Park. He had a lot of fun playing in the snow and made “yellow snow”.

Preston graduated from puppy school today. We are so proud of him.

Preston has been busy learning to be obedient, but he hasn’t forgotten all the tricks he’s learned.

1) Leave It and Take It

2) Stay and Come

3) Wait and Go

4) Wipe your Paw
Preston knows “Wipe your butt” too (we’ll leave that to your imagination)

Every morning when Preston wakes up he has a habit of looking outside the window. He likes to watch the cars go by.

Preston won another photo contest. He is the December 2006 pamperedpuppy.com 3rd place winner out of 1000 dog photos. I wonder what’s next? Of course we’re biased and think that Preston should have won first place!

Preston is the Jan 2007 Poochie Bell Star . We always knew he would be a star one day !! Next up Hollywood.

After wearing the reindeer hat, he was ready to open his first Christmas gift. He normally loves to rip up paper and boxes and we usually tell him no, this is the one day that we encouraged it !! Santa brought him a new cow toy and a pig ear to chew on. Preston’s so smart that he learned the name of his new toy “cow” within a day. Of course within a few hours, the pig ear was no more.

Preston is celebrating his first Christmas this year. Of course he had to wear the Santa outfit and now his reindeers. In this picture he’s probably wondering if he’s been a good or naughty puggle this year and when he’ll be able to open the Xmas presents that Santa brought him. Stay tuned for more Xmas pictures and videos…

As we do on any good weekend, we brought him to the Redwood City Dog Park. Since it was Christmas weekend, we weren’t sure how many dogs would show up. Apparantly there were only a few dogs and they were mainly on the bigger side so we took him to the big dog side and let him run around with the big dogs. Preston’s not afraid of any dog of any size and will play happily with them. There were 2 big black dogs that he especially liked to play with. Either he would chase them or he would be chased. With his short legs, it was difficult to outrun them and it was only a matter of time before they caught up to him. Love the way his ears fly up when he runs.
