It's me Joy.....

Hi Everybody

This is Joy posting for my Dad Larry, he has been really busy .. I'll tell you all about it.

Ok, Ok This is what happened.. K, Last month on the 4th of August my Dad woke me up really early, I went outside to go to the potty then Dad said,"Cmon Joy we got a long ride ahead of us." We went up to the car, now I'm worried, I haven't had breakfast yet. We get in the car, I'm thinking maybe we are going to see my friends at the Vets, but no Dad just drives right on by the office and keeps on going. We ride over through Moorsville and Dad gets on the freeway. We drive , and drive, and drive. Dad stops at a rest stop, I get out of the car to go potty and he gets me some water.

We get back in the car and away we go again, this is pretty cool cause I really like to ride in the car. We keep driving and all of a sudden it starts getting warm in the car, the Air Conditioning decides to stop working. Dad doesn't panic too bad just rolls down the windows and keeps on driving. He is playing the AC controls and all of a sudden I here a noise, makes me bark, and we look outside the windows and see a puff of smoke come out from behind the car. Dad said a bad word, but looks at all the guages and decides to to keep on driving.. He gives me a drink in the front seat as we are going and don't ya know I spill it all over the place. Dad's real cool though he doesn't get mad or anything I'm thinking the water cooled him off a bit, it was really getting hot out. Pretty soon the directions lady starts talking on Dads phone telling us to turn here, turn there and then we arrive at where we are going.. It's really hot, there is noone there to meet us, cause Dad said Cousin Ed is at work and we are early. So me and Dad go over to the neighbors and get some water for me to drink, and the lady there was really nice, gave Dad a bottle of water too.
So after a little while Dad's Cousin Ed shows up and lets us in the house, it is a pretty nice house that we are going to live in, real big yard with lots, and lots of tall grass to explore. So after a while we go get something to eat for Dad, I get my Dinner, Dad said he didn't feed me that morning cause he didn't want to get me car sick, lol I NEVER get car sick..
So for the past month me and Dad have been going on long walks every morning and evening, here in Southwest Pennsylvania where we moved to. Dad said he needed to get back with his family, most of his Cousins live close around here. I have met some of them, they are all pretty nice, they like me so that makes me and Dad happy.

Ok all about how I'm growing and stuff, I'm getting really bigger, I have all of my big girl teeth, I weighed 43 pounds last week when Dad weighed me. He is giving me some different food, it's called Wellness Dad adds a little bit to my Eukanuba so I don't have any problems with my tummy, he says eventually I'll just be eating the just Wellness, Dad says it is really good for me. He has been researching for a long time.

We have been going to obedience school for the past couple of Tuesday evenings. We have some pretty cool other puppies in our class, all different kinds of dogs. Dad says I'm doing pretty good, Janellle thinks I'm doing pretty good too, she is the teacher, but she thinks I need a treadmill to help me get rid of some of this energy I have.. She says I'll calm down as I get older. I just love to meet people and I get pretty hyper, but once I meet everybody I calm down most of the time. I've learned sit, down leave it, take it. I already knew sit and wait, cause Dad does that when we go in and out of the house, I have to wait until he says it's ok to go through the door, I'm not allowed to rush out or in..

Dad says he will post some pictures of me in a few days, he has to get some batteries for his camera. Dad was really happy the other day, I let him have one of my baby canine teeth to put in with his important stuff. It's just a bottom one but it made him happy.

That is all the news I have to tell you today. I'm sure Dad will post something soon, we just got our internet set up the day before yesterday.. Took a whole month to get a guy out to install the cables..

Pss't don't tell Dad I'm using his computer, he might think I'm chewing on it, I chew on a lot of things, and I think he doesn't like it when I do that.
