I have had a busy week at home this week. I have had two training sessions to help me learn how to play nicely with my big doggie sister (Cassie) and teach me some important life skills! I have some more of these individual sessions and I also begin my Kennel Club puppy obedience classes next week. They are working me hard already.

I have learnt how to sit, use my paw and fetch a ball already. I do like having treats to do this - but which puppy doesn't? I am already getting much better and chilling out around the house and that is important for when I come to school. I need to be able to lie down and settle so that I can hear the children read and help them with any worries.

I visited the vet yesterday to get my final vaccination. I was a very brave girl and the vet said I was very calm and gentle. I did get a bit excited when we first got there and did a little wee on Mr Emms, but I am sure he didn't mind too much! I have loved exploring our garden and finding things out, but I didn't enjoy saying hello to a bumble bee - I have now learnt to stay away from them!

I have been to school a couple of times and I like the building! I am sure it will be different with children there, but I am very excited about starting at The Priors!

Woof!

I have had a wonderful week at work this week. It has been exhausting - I am not used to working - but I have enjoyed myself.

I came into school on Monday and was a little nervous, especially when I came into assembly - there were a lot of children looking at me. However, all the children at the school seem lovely and I cannot wait to get to say hello to them all. I have spent a lot of time in Mr Emms' office, getting used to the smells and sounds of the school and trying to stop Miss Dyke from cuddling me!

I have been into every classroom and Arthur taught me an amazing fact about plants. Did you know there are 369,000 species of flowering plant in the world? I also had Lacey and Myah bring some work to show me. They did some wonderful writing about Roald Dahl. I was very impressed. I have also spent part of an afternoon in the afterschool club, and that was great fun. I have also helped Mr Emms with a break duty - the children had lots of fun and I really wanted to join in with football but I wasn't allowed off my lead!

I was very lucky, I also had a play in the wild garden with Felicity. She has broken both arms and can't do daily mile, so I get a training session and lots of treats from her. I am a lucky girl!

I have been a great helper this week and have shown people around the school, although I don't think Mr Emms was impressed when I did a wee in front of our visitors! 

At home, I have had another training session and I am learning how to go a space and stay there until I am asked to leave. I am finding this one tricky, but I am sure I will get the hang of it.

I have loved seeing you all this week!
