I'm still here!!

Greetings! Up late for a youngster. Been missing everybody! Mom will post some pics tomorrow, but I just wanted to say: HELLO!! You all won't believe just how MUCH I've grown!

Every day .... I am 17 weeks and 3 days old now.

Been feeling blechy .... under the weather ... where did that phrase come from anyway? I'm a puppy, and what I've been feeling is blechy. (I am sometimes UNDER a chair, or UNDER a table, I can even get UNDER the BED! Surprise! ...and I am often UNDER Mom's feet!)

But, I'm on the mend. Lots of people are helping me to feel better. Mom's taking care of me, and the people at Fidos For Freedom are helping Mom take care of me. (Thank you Fidos!!)

I did something really COOL: you'll never ever in a million dog years guess what, so I'll tell you:
I went to ACUPUNCTURE! My acupuncturist is Noreen Javornik! She's really kind. Noreen saw right away, that I was NOT feeling good last week, and she stuck some very very thin needles in me, (I hardly felt them at all), and afterwards, I felt SO VERY MUCH BETTER! Thank you Noreen. Acupuncture gets a 4 paw star rating from me. Let me just say, from one pup to another, if you ever don't feel good, go and get some Acupuncture!! (If you live near Laurel and Columbia, MD, definitely go see Noreen!! She's the BEST!!)

Noreen has 2 dogs of her own: (well, her dogs have their person -- and her dogs names are Cassie and Bailey Sue.) Cassie is the cutest little Corgi!! She did NOT like it that I bit her ear! oops! I forgot myself for a minute, when I met her ... see, I'm teething, and I just HAVE to put things in my mouth. But Cassie's ear, NOT the right thing to chew on. I'm not certain she's forgiven me. I'm sorry Cassie. Cassie let me borrow her Wolf-size Nylabone to chew on during acupuncture. That was yummy! Thanks Cassie.

Bailey Sue, I have not met her muzzle to muzzle. But, next post, I will tell you more about her. Noreen is a great mom for Cassie and Bailey Sue. Cassie is a Therapy Dog with Fidos For Freedom, Inc. That's the same place, where I'm growing up to be a Hearing Assistance Dog. Fidos For Freedom, helps us all to have good lives and important things to do, whether we are Therapy Dogs, or Puppy Assistance Dogs In Training!

Well, I'm pretty sleepy, it's been a really big day.

Now, I know -- photos are what you all love to see, so, Mom will get her camera turned on and plugged in, and post some pictures of me, and what we've been up to. It's hard to write and take pictures when you don't feel good.

But, it won't be long, before I'm feeling great and doing all my puppy adventures.

Good night everyone!
