It has been a fun week. As usual I have had my fair share of trouble making, which I freely admit keeps the parental units young and fresh.
As with all of my working instincts I feel it is my job to protect the house—Casa de Perry. That said, I have been on a full fledge patrolling and barking especially when I see other dogs outside on leashes.
Dad’s thought of introducing me to the neighborhood dogs did not really work out. I am fine when I see everyone outside, but when I am contained inside it does not bode well with me and I become pyscho Weimaraner! You can see my Gladys Kravitz picture peering out patrolling whatever comes by!
On a good note, Mom had a Motivational Interviewing speaking training on Friday at the Sportsman’s Lodge– seems like she does a lot of that. Her and Dad went to Studio City to share about MI with the people from VFED, Valley Federation of Eating Disorder Professionals.
VFED is a program for professionals who help those with eating disorders. Mom was there to help encourage them to do something she calls reflective listening. I’m not really sure what that is – I just know my name and picture were mentioned and that is all that is important since it’s all about ME!
I did hear it was a big day with lots of organizations such as Rosewood Ranch, Monarch Cove, Center for Discovery, CRC Health Group and A New Journey. I wish I was there to meet all of those cool folks but apparently I need to get my manners in check, as Dad would say.
They even had healthy eats which I MISSED out on. AND Auntie Chris was there – which I was even more bummed not seeing her but maybe she’ll make a special trip to see me soon. You may not know this but I prefer blonds and besides her hair color, Chris is an amazing therapist so maybe I’ll get some mind training after all.
Until next week people!
Oh Perry! I, too wish you were there on Friday- but I posted MY favorite picture of you as my Facebook profile – just so it would feel like you were. I promise to visit soon and help get your manners in check so you can attend next year. We are always growing and you sure are already good at that, huh?
love,
Auntie C
Cousin Perry,
Whatever you do, don’t let your parental unit get you a bark collar. My dad got feed up with my barking at people walking by. I still bark but much quieter because I don’t like the beep, which if I ignor, the collar reminds me not to bark. Stay clear of this part of the pet store!
