My world
August 3rd 2008 7:44 pm

Hmmm….been a little while since my last entry. Seems like my secretary has been slacking. Lazy human!

First, let me update y’all on Sasha. Mom saw my Auntie today and got the latest scoop. Sasha has been busy running, wrestling, de-stuffing toys, tasting the water in the bird bath, digging holes in the yard. Basically having a treat time.

Second, mom might be getting a new foster pup. Still not sure about this one yet, waiting to hear from a friend what the status on the pup is.

Third, I made a mess in the living room last night. Mom went to see a movie last night and left me loose in the house (I’ve been doing much better with my separation anxiety issue). Well to say the least I got bored with all my toys. I found an empty cardboard container that originally held a 12 pack of soda. Shredded that package into a million little pieces. Mom came in and found piece of it on the chair, love seat, sofa, floor and on all the dog beds. She didn’t get mad though. Said at least it was trash and not the sofa or door frames.

A little blue
August 12th 2008 9:49 pm

I’ve been acting a little blue the past couple days. Mom thinks it is because of the foster pup interrupting my normal routines and she might be right. Last night she sat in the floor and loved on just me. That was super nice. Tonight I started sitting on her feet again. The foster pup was busy barking up a storm at the cat. So mom scooped him up and put him to bed in his crate. Finally, peace and quiet! I enjoy playing with him, but sometimes I just want to play with my mom & sis Annie. So after the yapper went to bed, mom tossed toys for me and Annie played with me. I think that’s just the medicine I was needing.

Hmm…

Hmmm… I just about gave mom a heart attack last night. See, she was typing on the computer & trying to watch the Olympics at the same time. Her desk is sort of behind the love seat and sometimes I like to look over the back of the love seat and watch her. (That’s my pose in the picture, I have my chin resting on the back of the love seat.) Well, I figured out that if I stood up and climbed onto the back of the love seat I could get even closer to her. That freaked her out. Said all she needed was a 60 pound dog falling off the love seat and getting hurt or hurting one of the other pups. I didn’t see anything wrong with what I was doing, seemed pretty fun to me. Hey! I know I was practicing my balance beam routine! Think she’ll buy that? Nah… bet she won’t.

The Sasha Update
August 18th 2008 9:10 am

Here’s an update on Miss Sasha for any interested pups! She’s been in her new home almost a month now & her new mom is very pleased with her. She is getting along great with her new sister, they are the best of friends now. Sasha caught a mouse in her new mom’s garage and had lots of fun tossing it up in the air and playing with it. She loves playing fetch with her new toys. Played tug-o-war with her crate bed and sent stuffies flying all over the yard. Beheaded and de-winged duckie, more stuffies in the yard from that. She’s been a very active and busy girl since she’s settled into her new home.

Big Trouble
August 25th 2008 9:35 am

I got into some big trouble Saturday night. See, mom had been outside visiting with the neighbors and us pups were inside the house enjoying the nice cool AC. Well…. something happened and I chewed up one of mom’s end tables and a digital thermometer. Needless to say mom wasn’t happy when she discovered what I had done. I felt really bad about it, I hate doing bad things. Mom was upset for a little while, then she laid down in the floor with me and gave me a big hug. She’s figuring that the foster pup (with his constant barking) had finally stressed me out beyond my tolerance level. Now she’s trying to make sure that the foster pup stays as quiet as possible and doesn’t spend too much time around me. That is helping some. And she says that the foster pup is going back to his furever home this weekend and I can have mom back all for myself!

What Now?
August 29th 2008 9:43 am

Got word last night that the earliest Nacho’s owner can take him back is this Sunday. Was really hoping more like tonight or Saturday at the latest. I’ve been doing much better since his time with us is being limited. I know he missed playing with us, but he will be an only dog at his new home. And this helps him adjust to not having doggy playmates, plus it helps reduce my stress.

Earlier this week, I went for a nice long walk with Annie. Both of us were tired pups by the time we got home. We met a few strange people & dogs along the way. At first they really scared me, but the longer we walked the better I got. Mom has ordered a D.A.P. collar for me and is hoping it will help me even more. It was highly recommended and we figure it is worth a shot, especially since it isn’t anything electronic that could hurt me.
