Adoption 2010 Contest
May 2nd 2010 6:10 pm

Mom has been slacking and has failed to type up my entry in a timely manner for the Adopt Contest. Since the weather isn’t so great this evening, she has finally found the time to help me out.

What does adoption mean to me? Well, to start with I wasn’t adopted from any place, other than the street. But if I had been adopted, my opinion would still be the same as it is now. Adoption means that I have some place safe to sleep and people to love me.

I was from a litter of puppies born to a feral dog. Some kindhearted people made it their mission to try to rescue the puppies and their mother. Let’s just say that catching a litter of wild puppies is something that was easier said than done. I came to live at my current (and forever home) as a foster pup along with a couple siblings.

We were terrified of humans, we had been living on the streets for about 2 months without any human contact. To stay safe we had to keep moving around, hiding from people. We had to learn to trust. I still have a problem trusting some people and the ones that I do trust, well it took them a while to earn it.

I am deeply devoted to my foster (and now permanent) mother. She took a lot of time to work with me and earn my trust. I will forever be grateful to people like her. People who take the time to heal the damanged soul of a scared puppy.

Adoption means that other puppies like me can have a chance to find a wonderful home. A home that can accept that puppy’s limitations and celebrate every little accomplishment!

New Video

It’s about time that lazy mom of mine got around to putting a new video on my page. This new video is about the daily battles between myself and that annoying little sister of mine, Pixie. What a pest!

Snuggle Time
May 20th 2010 10:38 am

Snuggle Time…. the time of morning I enjoy the most. It’s the 10 minutes or so before mom’s alarm clock goes off. This is the time of day that I get mom all to myself. I crawl up to the top of the bed and either share mom’s pillow or use the extra one on the bed. She will rub my side, rub & tug my ears. Oh! It is just pure heaven! I’ll stretch & yawn, lay my head over on her shoulder and ask her to do it all over again. It is wonderful. Then the alarm goes off! I bounce off the bed and wiggle & dance. It’s breakfast time!!

J-E-L-L-O

I tried jello for the first time yesterday and YUMMY! Mom was eating some that was Strawberry/Kiwi flavored. I kept watching & staring at her as she was eating. Finally she got the hint, I WANTED SOME OF THAT! So she put a little spoon of it in the palm of her hand for me to try. She really didn’t think I would like it, but I surprised her. I will have to admit that it did seem a little odd in my mouth when I had my first bite, but after that it was pure nirvana. Now if she would just make some frosty paw treats for me I would be set for the summer, jello, frosty paws & watermelon!

Slacker
June 22nd 2010 3:41 pm

My mommy is a slacker! It’s been like forever since she last helped me out with a diary entry. Bah! Doesn’t she realize that I can’t type very well with my big feet? And if I try it on her laptop, well let’s just say she wouldn’t be pleased.

So what’s been going on in my world? Nothing much. Summer has shown up with a heat wave! We’ve been having temps in the mid to upper 90s and the heat index is usually 100 or higher. Sure am glad I have my personal pool. And I really like it when mom cleans it out & puts fresh water in it. Ahhh…. nothing like a cool dip in a pool on a hot day.

Catching up
July 20th 2010 9:48 am

It has been brought to my attention by a couple pals Browni, Natti & Fincastle that I’ve been slacking in the diary category. Well I want everyone to know that it isn’t my fault, blame my mother! My toes are too big for the keyboard, so I need her assistance with my diary writing, and she’s been neglecting me!

So here’s the run down of my summer so far: Napping, chasing chipmunks, chasing Pixie, taking a dip to cool off in my pool, sleeping on the living room furniture, sleeping on mom’s bed. Repeat all the previous.

I will say that I don’t care much for the storms that we had earlier this summer and they have been showing up again lately. Those loud booms coming from the clouds hurt my ears and they upset my sensitive soul!

Hmmm…. the rest of the family you ask? Well they are doing pretty good. Abby is starting to lose her hearing and she is “spacey”. Guess that happens to all of us when we get into those senior years.

Ty had surgery on his ear again for another hematoma. Poor fella, he seems pretty miserable this time around.

Pixie? Pixie is a pain my patootie! She is on 24/7! When is the puppy going to wear off that girl!

Oh! And mom has been spending large parts of the weekend gone. She leaves in the morning & comes back late in the afternoon/early evening. She is smelling of some strange things I tell you! I have smelled the following: turkey, raccoon & deer. She says she has been walking around on what will eventually be my new home & play ground. She says it has a big pond that we can talk walks to and I can swim in it! I can’t wait to see this place! She says I’ll have to wait until the weather cools down a little before I can go on that long of a car ride.

So that’s my summer so far. Nothing too spectacular, but still a wonderful doggie summer!!
