BIRTHDAY  3 YEARS OLD JULY 7th

I am 3 years old now and boy did I have a wonderful day! It started with mom taking me to Hinckley Park, which is a lease free dog park. I had soooo much fun running the trails and swimming in the ponds. There were a lot of other dogs in all shapes and sizes to play with.

Hinckley Pond is a 40-acre park located in South Portland with 2 small ponds, lots of trails, bridges and plenty to smell. The ponds are fresh water. There is an old ice house located on the property as they used to cut blocks of ice from the ponds.

After leaving the park we went by McDonald's where mom got her diet coke and I got a plain hamburger patty and a glass of water. (She should drink water like me, it's healthier!) After all that exercise, I spent the afternoon napping. My day was not over yet, so after dinner Mom and Dad took me to Bailey's Ice Cream shop where I got a  cup of  "doggie" ice cream with a peanut butter biscuit on the top. Ahhhh, a perfect day! The only thing to make better, would have been to share it with my Florida pals I left back at home.

1st DAY OF WORK

Here is an update on my Therapy Dog visit. Two days after my birthday I made my orientation and first visit at the a Maine Veterans Home. What a cool place and big! They have 4 wings and I visited all of them. The residence were excited to see me and I them. Mom and I are going back again next week and visit some more. We were there for a little over an hour for our first time. Mom was worried I would get stressed out but I didn't. I LOVED IT!  Enjoy the pictures of my birthday and by the way, I included the picture of my first day of work. Notice my working scarf.  Miss you all, love you more, SAM
