Going to School

I have been going to puppy school in Grand Bay every Sunday. I have more energy than my classmates. I generally am more interested in people than dogs. Dogs don't give you treats and don't pet you and call you by name.
I take my human Sarah with me, because Grand Bay is far so we have to take the car (which Charles calls the Batmobile) and I'm too small to work the pedals. Sarah wants me to be the best puppy in class, because that way we "win." I think going to class is OK. Usually what I do is wait a week after Sarah tries to teach me something, then I just start doing it to see what happens. Like in this picture, I am doing "sit". I can also do "stay" and "down". What happens is Sarah's voice gets very high and happy.
Lucy and I are getting along OK. She takes my treats, but I don't mind. I like playing with Lucy.
Last weekend Sarah went to a baby shower of her friend Alicia. I like Alicia, she's nice. That meant Charles and I stayed at home by ourselves. Since we were "batching" it, I slept in Charles' bed to help him from being lonely. Usually I sleep in my own bed, but I think sometimes you have to sleep with your human to cheer them up, just so long as it doesn't become a habit.
On Friday my humans are going away for two weeks. This makes me very sad. I'm going to miss them a lot.
Does anyone like pooping in the rain? I know I sure don't. Charles sometimes pees outside the same as I do, but only I have to poop outside - even when it's raining. It doesn't seem fair. I've tried to poop inside near the back door instead but my humans keep interrupting me. I guess they have their reasons.
But I am a very good dog. I sleep through the night, I go outside and do my business when I'm told, and I am very cuddly. Although the warm weather is making my fur come out in bunches.
