Milano as a Milano cookie

Here's Milano as a Milano cookie!! Pretty cute! We're getting ready to
go trick-or-treating..being around kids and their costumes will be a
great training opportunity for Milano

Happy dogs!

Shawn and Milano are playing on the tennis court! They love it and it's
good for Milano to get her energy out.

Milano's commands at 9 months and Happy Halloween!!

Milano has been working on her commands, right now we're working on sharping up the commands she already knows. "Heel" and "down" with her hips rolled out are what I'm focusing most on. She's a very smart puppy and learns new concepts quickly.



Tonight Milano is going Trick-or-Treating in the neighborhood to get used to being around more kids and the costumes will help with training in different environments. I just bought some fabric to make Milano a Milano cookie! :) Should be cute!

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!!

Here are some pictures of Milano at work with her co-puppy raiser..she looks thrilled to be dressed up ;) Just like her mom, Shawn would always give me a sad face when she was dressed up!!

HAPPY 9 MONTHS!

Milano and the "M's" are 9 months old today! She celebrated by seeing
her friends at school, going to class, sitting with me during my ASL
midterm and now were going home so she can get some much needed time off
to play and be a puppy! She's such a good girl :)

Milano is back

Milano is back from her co-PR's house, she had a very busy day today! Milano went to Sacramento's GRC Bone Appetite It was a great event put on by the volunteers of the GRC group. When I picked her up we went straight to school and I started studying for my midterm that is going on later this week. We had a movie night with the ASL Club and Milano was very good as usual :) She loves seeing our friends and knows when she's working and also when she's off duty, after the movie Milano had some play time with the officers of the club. She thought it was great, then it was back to work mode. It's fun because she has a great on/off switch. Before the movie I brushed her with a furminator, I think it removed a small dog! ;) Milano is shedding SOOOO much, I can't wait until this part is over. Tomorrow Milano and I have a busy day..gym, lunch with a friend, school and tests.

2010 CCI Calendar

Today I went to the CCI gift store while on campus for the HD and Side placement class graduation. I was surprised and happy to see that they picked a picture of Milano for the 2010 calendar! Milano's brother Mica is also in the calendar, he's actually the featured puppy!! Very cool :)

9 Months

Milano is almost 9 months and she's doing great! Her commands are coming along nicely and she's just and easy and fun puppy to have around. Last night she went back to her co-puppy raisers house. Having 2 puppy raisers is really nice for everyone because the puppies get to be in different environments and also get used to different people. Last week Milano went with me to school and to the gym. We had two very long days. On Wednesday we were in school for 10 hours again and then we went straight to the Kings game. Milano loves being at Arco, she's been going to games since she was 4.5 months old. On Thursday we helped out with ASL midterms and it was a lot of fun, Milano started to snore during 2 of the tests and I had to wake her up so she didn't distract the students. Yesterday we went to Sac State's football game and Milano again was really good. Nothing distracted her, she watched the cheerleaders and the band and then went to sleep. Milano will stay with her co-raiser until the end of the week, I'll update next week.
