FIRST DAYS HOME WITH MOM AND LISA

We got home after graduation and were all very tired...We spent some bonding time on the couch and then went to bed early.. Sunday we drove to the preschool and put in my bed and water bowl and I got to check out all the rooms before seeing some kids on Monday. We also practiced some "alerts" in the rooms and I did great alerting Tracy. We were bummed that it was raining so we could not go outside on walk or play in the yard... So we played with some of my new soft toys inside and had a great time. The cats were starting to warm up to me a little, surprised that they were out and about and curious about me....We then had our nightly couch session and then went to bed because we had a big day tomorrow.

On Monday, mom took me to work with her at the preschool. None of the kids were there but we had to set up for graduation that evening... So we went into the church area and then I did a great job laying down under a table quietly while they put up decorations and fun things. Then the kids came to practice for graduation and boy did they fall in love with me (so did the moms). I shook lots of little hands and let some people pet me...I was on my best behavior and the toddler brothers and sisters just loved me while waiting for their big brothers and sisters to finish graduation practice. We then went into the office to do some work and then went to the bank...We went inside and on our way out there was popcorn on the ground and I was a good girl and did not try to eat it. Mom was very proud.

Mom then came home and we got ready to go to graduation. It was very busy with lots of people there.. The kids looked so cute in their graduation gowns. Again... Everyone loved me of course.... Kids, parents, grandparents and Miss Robin (mom's co-worker) really loves me too! We had a very busy first day and we are very tired.. will post pictures of my new home. Tomorrow I get to go to work all day at the preschool with mom's preschool kids.... will tell all about that tomorrow!!
