🇺🇸🐾 FREEDOM’S ROTC ADVENTURES – DAY 3 🦸‍♀️
🚨 THE SNORING ROOMMATE INCIDENT 🚨

Attention, everyone! This is Recruit Freedom reporting from Superhero Academy, where I have been assigned a roommate named Elway.

I have been at this academy for approximately five minutes, and already COMMAND HAS FAILED ME. 🙄

My roommate snores like a freight train! 🚂 I have requested a transfer, ear protection, and possibly a full military court-martial.

The General says I need to learn teamwork. TEAMWORK?!? I say teamwork means HE SHOULD STOP SNORING! 😂

I am an elite recruit with a future to protect and a superhero career to launch. I cannot be expected to function under these conditions!

And now I hear Elway might be PROMOTED TOMORROW. 😳

Clearly, this is a clerical error. I shall be filing an official protest first thing in the morning.

Until then, I remain on high alert, guarding the barracks and monitoring my roommate’s suspicious sleeping habits.

Over and out! 🫡🐾🇺🇸

🦸‍♀️🇺🇸 FREEDOM’S SUPERHERO ACADEMY — DAY 2! 🐾

Reporting for duty! This little recruit has officially joined ROTC at Superhero Academy and has been assigned a roommate named Elway. He snores. LOUDLY. 😴 Seriously, how am I supposed to get my beauty sleep with THAT going on?

Real basic training hasn’t started yet, so for now, I’m reading my training manual. WOW! This General has A LOT of rules! No this, don’t do that, and apparently I’m not supposed to bark late at night.

WHAT?! 😈

I mean, how else am I supposed to make sure the General stays in shape? I bark, she gets up, and out we go! It’s called leadership training, people!

My favorite part so far is watching the General stumble around at 2:00 AM in a complete ZOMBIE state. 😂😂😂

I’m pretty sure this is going to be a VERY entertaining academy experience. And if the General thinks she’s training ME, she might want to review the chain of command.

🚨🦸‍♀️ FREEDOM’S DAILY DISPATCH — DAY 1! 🐾🇺🇸 BREAKING NEWS FROM SUPERHERO ACADEMY!

✈️ OFFICIAL PERSONNEL ARRIVAL ANNOUNCEMENT ✈️

Attention, civilians! Your newest superhero has officially landed! 🫡

Meet Private Freedom McWigglebutt, a feisty little black Labrador Retriever / Golden Retriever with a BIG personality and absolutely no intention of flying under the radar. 😂

I’ve just completed a highly classified airborne deployment all the way from Santa Rosa, California, and arrived at my new headquarters, where I was greeted by my commanding officer, General Liz McNoNonsense, Supreme Commander of the United Paws and Director of Damage Control.

My first impressions? She seems nice enough, but apparently there are RULES. 🙄

I have already begun demonstrating my extraordinary powers, including advanced wigglebutt maneuvers, lightning-fast zoomies, and the ability to make everyone pay attention to ME.

My official superhero titles include:

🦸‍♀️ Freedom Fury — Destroyer of Squeaky Toys.

⚡ Captain Zoom — Protector of the Treat Jar.

🌪️ Furricane — Supreme Commander of Chaos.

🧦 The Freeinator — Vanquisher of Vacuums and Liberator of Lost Socks.

⭐ General Wiggles — Supreme Defender of Liberty and All Available Snacks.

Naturally, I believe I am ready for an immediate promotion. Management, however, insists I must first learn the basics.

Apparently, surviving a cross-country flight does NOT qualify me for a four-star general’s commission. The injustice! 🇺🇸😂

But let’s get one thing straight: beneath all this adorable chaos is a very important mission.

I am beginning my journey through Superhero Academy, where I will learn, grow, and hopefully develop the extraordinary skills needed to become someone’s real-life hero as a future service dog through Canine Companions. 💙💛

For now, my listening skills are classified, my enthusiasm is unlimited, and my ability to sit still remains under investigation.

MISSION STATUS: Successfully deployed! 🛬

CURRENT RANK: Private Wiggles (E-1)

PERSONALITY REPORT: Feisty. Fearless. Full of opinions.

THREAT LEVEL: Adorable but unpredictable.

NEXT ASSIGNMENT: Operation Settle In.

🇺🇸 OFFICIAL MOTTO: “The world needs a hero. Management says I need a nap.” 🐾

Stay tuned, civilians! Tomorrow brings another dispatch from the front lines of puppy raising. If General Liz survives, I shall report for duty again. 🤣

🫡 PRIVATE WIGGLES, OUT!

👑 Princess Puppy Purton — Paws & Circumstance! 🐾

So, it’s true! Mom is going to do it all over again! 😳 Last night, she got her first photo of her new Canine Companions puppy, Freedom. Yup, that is Freedom, the one at the end of the photo who refuses to look at the camera. Some things never change! 😂

I’m not sure Mom will have quite as easy a time with Freedom as she did with me, but I’m happy to know I trained her well and got her ready for another puppy adventure. 💕

I guess Mom has finally realized that I’m NOT rushing it in college and coming home! I’m busy preparing for my new career as a service dog, ready to help my future person. 🦮🎓

Mom will just have to wait until February to see me graduate and find out who my new person will be. Until then, she has a new puppy to keep her busy!

Welcome to the family, Freedom! Good luck, Mom. You’re going to need it! 👑🐾😂

👑🐾 Princess Puppy Purton’s Nantucket Report! 🐾👑

EXCUSE ME?! 😳 My parents are on MY island, Nantucket (and EVERYONE knows it’s MY island! 🏝️💙), having the time of their lives with Hula while I’m stuck at school working my fluffy little tail off! 🎓🐾

Apparently, Hula is enjoying all the attention, the island life, and quality time with Mom and Dad. Meanwhile, I’m here studying, practicing, learning new skills, and doing my very best to become an AMAZING service dog! 💙

Do they appreciate my sacrifice? Do they miss their PRINCESS? Are they bringing me home a present from MY island? 🎁🤔

I have questions. LOTS of questions. 😂

But don’t worry… I’m working hard, making my professors proud, and preparing for my future career. A princess has a reputation to uphold, after all! 👑🐶

Enjoy Nantucket, everyone. I’ll just be here earning my diploma. 🙄🤣💙

👑🐾 PRINCESS PUPPY PURTON HAS SOMETHING TO SAY… 🐾👑

Well, once again, my mother has NO IDEA which one is ME! 🙄😂

Seriously, Mom?!? 🤦‍♀️

Am I…
🖤 The first black Lab — AKA THE SWEET ONE?
🖤 The one absolutely ADORING my trainer, Kait? 💕
🖤 Or the GROUCHY one who just wants to GO HOME and have her puppy dinner? 🍽️😂

Good thing you only have THREE black ones to guess from, Mom! 🤣🤣🤣

I mean, come on… I’m the PRINCESS! You should know me by now! 👑Honestly, some things NEVER change!

Love,
👑 Princess Puppy Purton
Currently away at Service Dog College, trying to educate my mother from a distance. 🎓🐾💙💛

👑🐾 PRINCESS PUPPY PURTON — ONE YEAR AGO! 🐾👑

Just look at me… intense, grouchy, and clearly NOT impressed with the service I was receiving. 😒😂

A year ago, I was already trying to teach Mom how to properly care for royalty. And yet, here we are… she STILL doesn’t seem to understand her responsibilities! 🙄

Where was my puppy dinner? Why was I being inconvenienced? And why did I have to keep reminding everyone that I AM THE PRINCESS?!? 👑

Honestly, I don’t ask for much. Just excellent service, timely meals, plenty of attention, and absolutely NO nonsense from the staff. Is that too much to ask? 😂

One year later, I’m away at Service Dog College, working hard and becoming even more fabulous. Meanwhile, I’m still not convinced Mom can manage without my supervision. 🤦‍♀️🐾

Some things never change… especially my serious face! 😠😂

Love,
👑 Princess Puppy Purton
🎓 Currently away at college, questioning the quality of care for Hula back home. 💙💛

👑🐾 A MESSAGE FROM PRINCESS PUPPY PURTON 🐾👑

Apparently there is some VERY DISTURBING NEWS coming from home.

I am hearing rumors that Mom and Dad have decided to bring ANOTHER PUPPY into the family. 😳

And apparently her name is🥁🥁🥁

🇺🇸 FREEDOM VII. 🇺🇸

Excuse me??? 🤨

I am currently away at Service Dog College, working very hard on my education, becoming more sophisticated, learning important things, and generally being fabulous…

…and THIS is what I come home to???

A new puppy?!? 😤

I mean… I guess Mom thinks I am actually going to graduate in February and NOT come home?!? 🤨

Clearly, someone has forgotten that I still have a perfectly good room, several beds, and a kingdom waiting for me. 👑

And another thing…

At least MY name was special. 👑

I was PURTON.

The Number One.

The original Princess Puppy.

The first.

The fabulous.

And now they are bringing home Freedom VII???

SEVEN??? 🤨

Apparently, there have already been SIX Freedoms before me.

I mean… honestly. 😂

Let me be perfectly clear:

I did NOT approve this.

I was perfectly happy being the one and only Princess Puppy Purton. 👑

I had Mom.
I had Dad.
I had Hula.
I had my kingdom.

And now apparently there is going to be some little black Lab/Golden girl flying in on October 21st, thinking she is going to move into MY house?!?

Well… I have a few things to say about that. 😏

First, Mom…

I am watching you. 👀

Second, Dad…

You better not tell her she is your favorite. 😒

And Hula…

We need to have a conversation. 🧐

As for Freedom VII…

I suppose I will allow her to join the family.

Eventually.

But she should know that there are RULES.

👑 The Princess gets first choice of beds.

👑 The Princess gets priority access to Dad.

👑 The Princess maintains all royal privileges.

👑 And absolutely NO ONE tells the Princess what to do.

Just ask my mother how well that last rule worked out. 😂

I will be keeping a close eye on this situation from college.

And Mom…

DO NOT give her my spot.

Love,

👑 Princess Puppy Purton
Currently away at school and NOT EMOTIONALLY PREPARED FOR THIS NEWS 😂🐾

P.S. I heard Mom is already counting down the days.

P.P.S. Freedom… welcome to the family.

I guess. 🙄🐾

THAT’S HIM!!! 👑🐾

My Human Jim Purton — the very important human who NAMED ME! 😂👑

Yep, THAT’S the man who gave the world Princess Puppy Purton! He chose my name in honor of his beloved wife, Michele Noyes Purton, and thanks to him, I get to carry the Purton name everywhere I go. 💙💛

I’d say he made an excellent choice. I mean… PURTON is a pretty fabulous name for a Princess! 👑😂

Thank you, Jim, for making me part of the Purton legacy. I’m doing my very best to keep the name — and the royal standards — very high! 👑🐾

Signed,

Princess Puppy Purton 👑

Named with love. ❤️
Carrying the Purton name with pride. 👑🐾
And currently off at Service Dog College, obviously. 🎓🐾
