Finally
July 1st 2008 11:55 am

Mom finally let me have my playmate back this weekend. Sasha & I simply did not understand why we weren’t being allowed to play together. That was pure torture mom! I could see my buddy, but not play?? Cruel and unusual punishment, that’s what I call it. But… mom finally came to her senses and let us play again. (could it have been because Sasha’s whining was getting on her nerves??) Anyway, mom says to keep our paws crossed, she thinks her sister might be willing to give Sasha a furever home. That would be sweet! I could still visit & play!! Mom is planning on taking Sasha over to her sister’s house this weekend for a long visit, probably a few days. As long as her sister’s dog gets along with Sasha, it looks like it could be a done deal.

Sasha’s visit
July 5th 2008 12:25 pm

Sasha had a play date with our fur cousin Misty yesterday. Things look pretty good for a permanent placement. And our human aunt really liked Sasha. She turned on the cute factor! We are planning an overnight visit in  of. If that goes well, then Sasha will have a new home!! I’d really like for it to work out…. then I could go visit & play!

The 4th of July was OK. I’m a little scared of loud noised, so I got to stay inside while mom was visiting with the neighbors. The bad thing was that I had to stay in my crate…. I also have a touch of separation anxiety and have the potential to chew stuff up. So thus, I get to stay in my crate if I’m left unsupervised. Mom is hopeful that I’ll out grow this problem. She’s been working with me by leaving for a short amount of time, coming back, telling me what a good boy I am and then giving me a treat. The plan is to leave for longer periods of time & eventually get me over my issues.

Am I the only smart pup in the bunch?

Am I the only smart pup in my bunch? It’s like 90 something degrees outside, I have a nice, cool swimming pool. Why won’t anyone join me in it? Well, Sasha sort of does, she’ll dip her feet in, but that’s all she does! That’s not what I’m talking about… I’d like to have a swimming buddy. Hey guys! Whatcha think? Wanna give swimming a try? Trust me – it feels great on a hot day!!!

Gloomy…
July 10th 2008 4:46 pm

The weather has been gloomy today and yesterday evening too. Yesterday afternoon wasn’t any fun. The clouds started doing that rumbly thing & my neighbor came up and let us pups inside. Since I’ve been a bad puppy when left unsupervised (chewed up the door trim) I had to spend time in my crate until mom came home. 😦

Today it has been raining off & on. Which means I haven’t been able to enjoy my pool. Which means the water in my pool will be looking yucky. Which means fresh water in my pool. Yipppiee!! I love it when mom puts fresh water in my pool. I bite at the water hose and stick my snout under the water, sort of like a scuba diver!!

It looks promising..

Well Friday is the day. The day that Sasha might get her furever home! My human aunt is supposed to stop by mom’s work & pick Sasha up. They are going to try a long weekend visit and if everything goes good, then it’s final! The best part of is I’ll be able to visit her for play dates if everything goes good. Keep your paws crossed!!

Sooo Lonely…

So lonely (so lonely)
I’m Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
To call my own (to call my own)

I’m so lonely (so lonely)
I’m Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
To call my own (to call my own) girrll

*SIGH* Okay pups, I’m lonely…. my best buddy in the whole world left me today. It looks like she found her furever home. Unless things go terribly wrong at her new home, I’ll just have to settle for an occasional visit. But I guess that’s ok ‘cause Sasha deserves a good home, one where she’ll have lots of attention and get spoiled with treats. But that don’t change the fact that I’m lonely…. *SIGH*

Work Day
July 22nd 2008 5:08 pm

I got to go to work with mom today. It’s been a while since she brought me, so I had to get used to all the strange people again. It’s good for me, even though I’m terrified for a little while. To make it up to me, she took me to the dog park at lunch. Got to splash around in the shallow pond then accidentally fell into the big pond! It wasn’t my fault!! Blame it on the frog I was trying to catch! Anyway, it wasn’t too bad, just spooked me a little. And the water did feel good. The temp at lunchtime was over 90 degrees!!

I just don’t understand
July 26th 2008 10:05 am

I just don’t understand what Annie’s problem is. I wake up at my usual time, ready to play. I hope off the bed, go to my toy box, pick out my favorite toy and bring it back to her. She ignored me! As a matter of fact she sort of growled at me. Said something to the fact that it’s raining outside and the sound of rain on the roof was perfect sleeping weather. That she needed to catch up on her beauty rest… Harumfff…. I think she was just being plain old rude!!

Sasha update
July 28th 2008 4:41 pm

Hi Everyone! Wanted to share a message we received from Sasha’s new family:
“Just wanted to let you how Sasha was doing. We had a big night last night. Misty (Sasha’s new fur sister) started eating again and she was actually trying to bounce around and for her try to play. Then this morning I saw them wrestling on the porch. Misty has never wrestled before, even with Kasey (Misty’s sister who went to the Rainbow Bridge last year). So this morning was big. When I looked out on them late night last night Misty was laying right beside of Sasha. So I think things are working out. I just thought I would let you know how she was doing.”
