Test time

Hello there puppy friends. Bet you have been wondering what I have been up to....the mystery is over.
I had a great day about 2 weeks ago. My friend Keira came over with her mom, Johanna, to have a picnic with Mom and me. Turns out no one brought me a doggie bag so I had to eat my boring chow but whatever. Even let Keira sit with me on my chair out on the patio-she is a pretty cool girl. Turns out her mom and dad have a blog too and I got my pic posted there-how you like that?
Just when you thought Mark the trainer was gone-he reappeared. Mommy packed me up into the car and we went over to Rivergate Shopping Center. Rock on, I thought, get me some burger and ice cream, bark at the kids, call it a night. Well there was Mark sitting by the fountain, just waiting for me-oh hell no. So on goes my leash and we prance around the sidewalk like I am a sideshow. Mark lets every person in the whole stupid place pet me while I am sitting. Mommy just looked on laughing. To make matters worse, Mark gave Mommy the leash, and told her to try to get me to sit when people came by. Then he pretended to leave-I am a dog, not a fool. Hello Mark, I see you around the corner and am not amused. Then he reappeared like it was a big surprise. The whole act just made me ill. I humored them though, because I heard them use the word 'test' so I thought-hell, maybe I can pass and end the pain.
Haven't seen Mark since but I keep hearing Mommy talk about something called 'refresher classes'. It's got me a bit concerned but I am holding out hope she will forget. For now, I am heading back to my little bed-maybe get some cuddles from Mommy.
Later-Bennie
