My First "Clover" Birthday

Even though I'm now about five years old altogether, I've only been "Clover" for a year.  It was one year ago that I was picked up off the freeway.  Since then I've been escorted to the Berkeley shelter, taken for walks by staff and shelter volunteers, assigned to Janet for Bad Rap classes, gotten spayed, adopted by Janet and Bill, taken to MORE classes, introduced to Bosco and lots of other dogs, and earned my CGC.  A lot has happened in a short time!! 

Ever since I passed my CGC test, Janet says I've been a brat.  But my Gilroy trainer Mary Cortani says I'm a fast learner and that I have "potential".  She thinks I might even be a good therapy dog.  She works with lots of military veterans helping them train their dogs.  I've been joining her classes with them on Saturdays, as well as going to her Wednesday-night group classes.  All this extra training is giving me the opportunity to learn lots of new things---but it's really cutting into my blog-writing time. And sometimes a busy girl like me just wants to SLEEP IN!
