Bang !

Preston learned to play dead when we shoot him with a “Bang!” This only took him 2 days to learn it.

Go To Bed

The next command that Preston learned is “Go To Bed”, which he would go into his crate. He is learning so quickly and this only took him 2 days to learn.

Mommy on Phone

We put the phone by Preston’s ear and mommy was on the line. He heard mommy calling his name.

Snoring

Preston occasionally will snore when he sleeps.

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.

Preston Loves Vegetables

After we come home from food shopping, Preston loves to stick his nose and tries to bite the vegetables.
At first he tries to eat a red pepper. He just licked it and didn’t bite or eat it so he didn’t experience the hotness.

Then he tried to get a potato. He was able to get his mouth around it.

Lastly he tried to take on the watermelon. But I think it was a bit too big for him.

Preston RollOver

Preston finally rollsover on command after about 1 week of training. It was a lot of persistence and patience on mommy and daddys part, but he finally is able to do it with a hand gesture. He’s such a smart puppy. Question now is what are we going to train him next.

Curious and Destructive

Just like any other dog, Preston is one curious puppy and likes to bite into anything he can get his mouth and paws on. We have to watch him very carefully otherwise he will go around destroying things around the house as you can see in these pictures. What is it with dogs that they like to get into trouble?

We caught him red “pawed” in this picture

Golden Gate Park

Over the weekend we took Preston out to visit Golden Gate Park. There was so much grass around and so many people and dogs around that Preston was so excited seeing everything. He’s not used to seeing so many people and dogs around him that he was jumping and running around the entire time. Preston was so cute and many people came up to visit and play with him. Luckily Preston is very friendly with everyone he meets.

Blue Sweater

Mommy got Preston a new blue sweater and it looks so cute on him. It matches very well against his red collar.
