California trip day 6

Today was CCI graduation. I love watching the graduation!! I can't believe I have had Misty for almost 2 years!! I got to see one of the graduates from my class. Another graduate was there but I never got a chance to see her. After the ceremony we went over to CCI while some of my friends dropped off there dogs. I was glad I got to take my dog with me. =). Then we went out to eat and walked around the hotel for awhile and then went back to our room and just watched tv and relaxed. Misty is worn out from her week of fun. =) Tomorrow we are headed back home. We are doing it all in one day. I hope Misty enjoys all that time watching out the window. It has been a very fun week! Misty and I got to do a lot of new things. My next post will finally include pictures from our trip.

California trip Day 5

Today we spent most of the day in San Diego touring a retired Navy ship. It was very neat to see! Misty got to sit in one of the planes. I can't wait to post all of the pictures from this trip. We then went to the beach and Misty actually loved it! I had her on a long leash and I would throw a ball and she would run and dive for it. The last time she was at the beach she wouldn't even move so she is getting used to the beach. We the went to eat on the pier. Ten we walked around. Misty liked looking at the water. Tomorrow is CCI graduation. It will be a good day.

California trip day 4

Today we went to Disneyland California Adventure. The first ride was The Little Mermaid. Misty thought that one was pretty neat. Then we saw A Bug's Life and the Muppets 3-D. Misty slept through those. Then we went on Monsters Inc. Misty really didn't like that ride. There wasn't a whole lot of room in the car and Misty likes her space. We got our picture taken with Goofy. Goofy was really cute with Misty and she kept wanting him to pet her. Then we saw Pluto. He got down on all fours and played with Misty. It was SO cute!!! We are now in Oceanside,Ca. Tomorrow we are planning on going to the beach and see some Navy ships in San Diego. The last time I had Misty at the beach she didn't like it so it will be interesting.

California trip day 3

We spent today at Disneyland. Misty got to go on It's a Small World, Pirates of the Caribbean, Winnie the Pooh and the train. She did great on all the rides. We went all over the park. She made friends with the Mad Hatter. I went on the Indiana Jones ride and it broke down right before my car was to go so I had to leave the ride, but I got to go back later and go on the ride. I love that ride!!!!! I think Misty will sleep good tonight. Tomorrow we are going to Disney California and then drive to Oceanside for CCI graduation on Friday.

California trip day 1 and 2

Sunday morning we headed to Las Vegas. We are headed to California again for another CCI graduation. We stayed at the Excalibur. Misty does not like traveling and sharing the backseat. She sticks her head at the back window and stays there for most of the ride. If you try and talk to her she doesn't turn around and grunts at you if you try to get h er to turn around. We walked the strip to Paris hotel and back to Excalibur. People just love the dogs!!!! We were all exhausted when we got back to the room. The next morning we headed to Anaheim. Misty took her position at the window for awhile but she finally relaxed for awhile and layed down on the seat. We took them for a walk and went to the Cheesecake factory. Now we are hanging out in the hotel room watching the dogs play saving our energy for tomorrow.

Imagine Independence

Thursday was a fund raiser for CCI called "Imgaine Independence."  Misty and I left work early to go help set up.  I helped put the table decorations together while Misty relaxed at my feet until her friend Cabo came and they had to wrestle on the floor for a few minutes.

Then they settled down and were good dogs.

There was a silent auction, dinner and a guest speaker.  I haven't heard how much was raised, but I think we did pretty good.  It started to rain during the speaker so when he was done Misty and I left before someone caught us to stay and help clean up. =) We were exhausted when we got home.  Here are a few more pictures I took.

There are more pictures on my Facebook page if you would like to see more.

Today Misty, me and my mom went to Primary Children's Medical Center to talk to a group of disabled kids.  I showed them how Misty picks things up for me.  They thought Misty was pretty cool!  I hope they choose to get a service dog.  They are pretty cool dogs!!!!!!!!!

 

This past week was a busy one for Misty and I. Tuesday we went to Salt Lake for a CCI meeting. Misty was excited to see some of her doggie friends and her puppy raiser, Amy. As you can tell from the picture the dogs LOVE Amy. =)

Misty and Annie resting after chasing each other around two chairs in the backyard.

On Thursday we went to a meeting for the next fund raiser for the CCI dogs and Misty got to see more of her friends. Yesterday my niece, Erin brought her dog to my mom's house for my mom to puppy sit while her family went to St. George for a few days. Her name is Annie and she is a miniature maltese, so she can pretty much fit in one hand. We put them in the backyard and they chased each other around two chairs and had a blast!!! Tomorrow I'm going to try and record it and see if I can get it posted on here. It's very funny to watch!!!

On Monday I got asked to judge the Plain City Dog Show for the 4th of July. I put Misty in it last year and she won Best Talent for picking up my keys and giving them to me. We got to ride in the Plain City parade. I am excited to be able to be a judge this year.

Sorry the pictures and words are all over the place! I'm still learning how to place the pictures and add text. =)
