Lamar is growing up right fine! He still has a little problem with eating everything and biting everyone. But I think he will get over that when he gets his “big” teeth! He can now; Come on command, sit, Lay down(down), give me his paw, and high five! He still needs to look more alive when he is walking -not pulling on sticks, looking behind, and having me hull him along. But we are working on that! And he still likes to jump down the steps.....it’s cute, but wait till he gets with a blind person! Opsy:)

Lamar still thinks he is a lap dog even though he is around 35 lb. and is still growing!!! I like it though, it reminds me of when he was a little puppy:) Lamar and I spent the last week at Reinford's. wile the rest of my family was in Haiti. I think it was a really good experience for him because there was always people around him and he was getting used to kids. At our house it’s usually only me and my mom at home, and sometimes only my mom. It’s good for him to get used to more people! We went to his Seeing eye club on Monday night. I think we both learned a lot of new things and Lamar is defiantly improving on his skills!
Oh, did I every tell you that Lamar loves wash baskets? He’s almost can’t fit in them anymore but he still tries sleeping and playing in them!

Today early in the morning we went to Crystal Cave for a home school field trip. Before we started the tour the guide told everyone not to touch anything. If we did he said it would stump the growth for many years or something like that. Well that scared me, Lamar licks everything!!! Lucky for me Mrs. Morgan had Lamar a great part of the time wile at the Cave. She said he did wonderful, and sniffed everything!

I never told you about his Wal*Mart incident!!! And well I guess maybe I should! OK, so I called up Wal*Mart and asked if I could bring in my seeing eye puppy in training. When the lady said: "Yes, sure thing why not!" she had no idea WHY NOT! Pretty much he went po po on the carpet in the girls section and I had no Idea what I was going to do. And that wasn't the worst of it. I wasn't prepared at all! I had forgotten my clean up kit and he went diarrhea!!!
So this is what I did.....and if you know me I am totally grossed out by germs, but anyone would think this is gross! My mind was just going crazy so I ran to the bathroom holding Lamar. Yes as you know everyone just had to stop and pet Lamar. All I could think was if they just knew what HE did! Oh he wasn’t embarrassed in the leased, I was the one with the red face. I grabbed a bunch of paper towels and went back to clean up. Then it hit me, what am I going to do with this pile of poop? I grabbed- Lamar, my purse, and crumbled up the towel and poop in my hand and rushed back to the bathroom. What if someone had saw me doing it, I don’t know what I would have done! When I found Kassia and told her what had happened all she could do was laugh and tell me: "You know Kels, they are probably back there watching you on the cameras!"

Today was a Monday and I work on Mondays! Soooo, my mom had Lamar for the day. I guess she wanted to go get something done so she put Lamar in Alysa’s care. Alysa must not have been watchin' him too well cause he got into his bag of food and was just chewing away:( He has the fattest little tummy I ever did see, poor little guy, he must have such a tummy ace!

There isn’t much happening with Lamar, well besides his.....hight? Yeah, he is really just springing right up there! Soon I will just be able to put my hand down and pet him:) Tomorrow he goes back to the vet to get some more shots, poor little guy! Oh yeah, Kassia and I went to the Mall today, and took Lamar of course:) He again was the center of attention and I didn't get much shopping done, but oh well it was a good thing for him to experience!

Today.....well let me just explain! I thought Lamar was “Park” trained, but I learned today that he still has a little ways to go, but it was somewhat my fault:(( So the big hit, or should I say jolt was when he found a dead smelly mouse and was chewing on it, ewe!!!!
I called the vet and they said to bring him right in. They said he was fine and he hadn’t punctured the mouse’s skin and so we left. We thought we would stop by the pet store to say hello to Kassia and then went home.
OH, also today was his first time ever to go up the stairs ALL by himself!!!!

Lamar is growing wrestles in my arms, ha ha, it’s just cause he is growing up. Too fast for my likening, well sorta:( I like that he is sleeping through the night and doesn’t go to the bathroom in the house. I wouldn’t say he is altogether “park trained” but he is getting there:)

Last night Lamar slept all night, well, he woke up twice but then went right back to bed, no park times!!!! I think it was because I slept next to him and put him on his bed tie down:) In a little wile we will be heading up to the Cabin. I think Lamar will love that, and get all the attention in the word!!!
I thought this was a cute picture:

Lamar now hopes everywhere he goes. He is so funny and I can defiantly see change in his character now that he is 8 weeks old!
One night I was getting ready for bed...and so was Lamar. He was rearranging and adding things to his crate. It was so cute watching him pull a big blanket into his crate to make a nice bed for himself:)

Wow, today Lamar was a little movie star. I couldn’t even get through all the people that wanted to touch him. A lot of little kids were following me around, he was the center of attention! In a little wile we will be heading out again for a New years Eve party, actually 2! Lamar is such a little rascal. He knows the word no, but he pretends that he doesn’t. He waits until i have to get up and pull him away from the; shoe, chair, or whatever he was chewing on or eating. Then he jumps up and runs. I have to laugh, it is just so cute, but I know I can’t let him do it:(

Lamar is such a bundle of joy. Just looking at him makes me smile:) I love picking him up, hugging him and kissing him, but I don’t think he likes being held and just siting the best:( Tomorrow, Sunday will be a crazy day for him! Actually I just got off the phone with our church office, I was double checking with them that i am allowed to take Lamar to church. They said yes! I can’t wait, I get to show him to all my friends. Everyone is so excited to see him!
The seeing eye place has different names for thinks like Go park is for go to the bathroom. And...he is getting very good at going outside to the bathroom. Sometimes he goes to the door and cries a little letting me know he has to go. He is pretty much work, it’s going to be hard for me to get my school done! Today I gave him to the Lord. Lamar is also learning how to come very well.

I have been burning time by playing games with my sister all day. We played Spit, Kings in the corner and Monopoly. Then I did a few magic tricks and played solitaire for the first time in my life! Yesterday I cleaned my room so nice it looks unreal. I dusted, vacuumed and organized. I baby-sat a puppy before and I know they can do damage to any and everything in there reach.
I don’t think it has kicked in yet that I am actually getting a Seeing eye puppy in a few minutes. I just feel like it can’t be true. Yet I have been planing, preparing and waiting for his arrival. The man that is dropping Lamar off called once already and said he would be a little later. Around 2:15
Probably next time I write to you I will have Lamar with me!
