Hello again and welcome,

Things are going well here in the home front but it isn't always playtime there are lots of things to learn too.  I attended my first class in puppy socialization, and we learned how to sit, down, stand and lots of other things that a puppy needs to learn to be happy and well mannered.  I got to meet and play with lots of other puppies my age but the best part of all was that I got to play with my litter mates.

My sister Betty was not there, her new home is out of state, miss you Betty.  One day after practice our owners got together for coffee, we sure did attract a crowd.

I just started basic conformation, that is the beauty pageant for dogs, didn't really care for that, I didn't get to play and I didn't know anyone there. I almost always go everywhere with my owner, and sometimes I have to wait in the jeep while she runs her errands, so that is what I do. 

  At home, I play on the trampoline and pull on Jordyns socks, fetch my Frisbee, play hide and seek, and take walks with my brother and sister.  Sometimes I stop to make a friend or not.  When I have had too much fun, I just take a nap with my buddy.Thanks again for the visit, drop in anytime, even if its just to say hi.

Take care,

Joaquin

                   

New Beginnings

February 12, 2010

Greetings, and welcome to my world. Some of you knew me as Mogel and watched my sister and brothers as puppies grow until we were ready to leave our mother and join our new families.  I have a new name and  family and I would like to take this time to introduce you to my new family and let you know what I have been up to all this time.  My new name is Joaquin meaning God will establish.  I have a BIG sister and a BIG brother from another mother.  Both my sister and brother are Akitas, my brothers name is Apollo and my sisters name is Xena, she still doesn't know if she likes me or not so I will give her all the time she needs.

My family also includes three cats, Katrina, Lucy and Athena.  Katrina is the black cat, she is queen of this home, even the BIG dogs don't mess with her, she is 14 years old and has been with my family the longest, Lucy is the long haired and is one of the meanest cats I have ever met, she doesn't care for me too much and she lets me know it every time she sees me.  Athena is a Bengal kitten, she joined the family on January 16th about 3 weeks after me.  Athena and I have become very good buddies and we have a lot of fun running around the house.

In my new family, I have also been introduced to a ferret, his name is Ricky and I am not allowed to play with him because I am too rough. 

When I need to go outside to take care of business, all I have to do it ring the bell on the door and that lets everyone know I need to go outside.

I  have had a great time telling you about my family, there is still so much more, next time I will tell  you what I do in my spare time and what I enjoy doing.

Take Care

Joaquin
