Strut Your Human

My mom and I got to go see LOTS of other dogs and people. I was pretty much in heaven! Jen came with us but for some reason she didnt bring Teeko. Probably cuz he would try and eat everyone. See what you missed out on Teeko! You could have smelled sooo many smells :)

Mom said that this event was called "Strut Your Mutt". We all know that these dogs out here were showing off how well they have their humans trained :) I am NINE years old and how have we never been to this event before??? I hope we get to come back next year! Maybe Teeko will be able to come!

Swimming

This past weekend, my Mom and I went to the park. She calls it Tanner Park I think. Its pretty fun. We get to run around and be all crazy! I don't run as fast as I used to but there are so many smells to smell and trees to mark. Its great! There is also a stream along the side of the trail that Teeko and I love to run through when its warm enough. Teeko was being a troublemaker again on the way to the park. He was growling and being all mean to a dog that would eat him for a snack if he wanted to! I don't know why he has to push his luck like that. Its like he has little dog syndrome or something. Well, his mom wasn't happy about the growling and barking so she threw him to the ground and made him lay on his back. Maybe someday he will learn that if he is just chill he will get to play a lot more.

Anyway...

Teeko and I kept trying to run in the stream like we always do and our mom's kept yelling at us. It was so confusing! One day we can go in the water and the next we cant! I don't get it!

So I was being a rebel and decided to ignore her as I usually do when there is something I want and I jumped in the water. Well it was cold and DEEP and moving faster than I remember! I was pretty worried for a second there. My Mom was yelling at me and almost climbed in the water to get me. I am not sure why the water is so different at that spot. So after I got out of that part of the stream, I tried another spot. Then she got really mad and put my collar and leash back on. Then I couldn't get in at all. I guess she doesn't want me to have fun anymore. After a little while, she let me off the leash again when there wasn't any water around us.

All in all it was a great day! Mom took some pictures! I look so good! But man am I getting gray!!!

New home??

Its taken me a while to get back to normal so I can get on here to share my story...

So last week sometime, my Mom started packing. I was getting pretty excited because that usually means I am going on a road trip with her! I LOVE road trips! She even packed my stuff so I was POSITIVE I was able to go with her!

Then, she left. And didn't let me come with. I figured I was just going to come with Pappy when they left (they were packing too). Then they did take me! I got in the car with them and they had my stuff and my pillow. I was ready for a nice ride. Then really soon after, we were there! I got out and the place was really familiar...it was the Vet. Why was I at the vet? So I went in and they brought in all my stuff. They haven't done that before. But I was still sort of excited for the new adventure. They took me to a back room and put all my stuff in there and then...They LEFT! They just left me there in this room all by myself! I waited very patiently hoping that they would come back soon. But they didn't. I was soooo board! There was a little part near the door that looked like if I started to pull at it I could possibly get out. So I started pulling and digging at it over the next day or so. I had to sleep all alone in that cold room. Why would they leave me here? Did I do something bad? Didn't they want me anymore?

One of the days there was a storm. I hate storms! They really scare me. And I was all alone in a place I didn't know. It was horrible! Then once I had made a dent in the floor, they moved all my stuff to a different room that was smaller and it didn't have a window.
I was certain that I was going to have to live here. So I tried to accept that this was going to be my new home.

Then, they came and got me and my stuff and I thought I was moving to another room. But NO! I saw my MOM!!! I ran up to her and gave her kisses! You would think I would be mad at her for leaving me for so long but I love her too much to be mad! Then she took me home and we cuddled! Heaven!

Smells!

The other day I was wondering around the house as I always do while no one is home and I smelled something. I smelled and smelled until I found it. It was in my mom's room. I dont know what it was but I really needed to get to it. So I started licking the carpet where the smell was coming from. That wasnt doing the trick. The carpet was in the way. So I started pulling out a few pieces. No one would notice. So I kept pulling and pulling. Then there was a hole and the carpet was missing. I must have swallowed it. Oops! Maybe my mom wont notice. I never found out what was under that spot. But I did smell it in another place so I tried that place too. Still nothing. Unfortunatly I have now made two holes in the carpet. This could be a problem.

Treat? Treat? Please!

Sometimes you just feel like a treat ya know? Well, when you don't have thumbs or speak English, its hard to ask for one. So this morning I was doing my best to ask my mom for a treat. I was whining and pacing and trying to get her to come over to the treat bowl on the floor. All she has to do is lift the lid and I will even get it myself. She just sits there eating her food while I am trying desperately to tell her what I want. So finally I let out a little BARK! She laughs, gets up and takes me outside for some ball. I guess she thought that's what I wanted. So then we come back in and I get my treat! Yay for treats!!! She only let me have one but that's ok. It was delicious! Now its time for a nap.
