Dear Friends,

Not too much has happened since the last time I wrote. I've been working hard on my commands and playing hard with all of my dog friends. Last week I stayed with a guy and his Labrador while Mom took her spring break vacation to Florida with her parents.

It won't be too much longer now before I am ready to graduate from AGS Puppy Walking program. Mom says my big sister, Quinn, went to a place called "Paws with a Cause" when she graduated last January. Paws was really impressed with Quinn.

They trained her to be a hearing dog and she works with a very nice deaf lady now. There is a good chance that I will be going to Paws for my final training, but even if I don't, I know Mom and Steven (our Puppy Walker Supervisor) will find a very good place for me to go.

Meanwhile, I will continue to work on my commands, chase tennis balls, and sleep through Mom's classes. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.

Until next time . . .

Lotsa kisses,

Tess
