This past week has been a busy one of me. Full of surprises, some good and some not so good.

First, the not so good. Monday night starts just like normal. Mom comes home & gives Pixie & I some loving. Then we get our kibble… YUM! And then it goes off its tracks… Pop comes home and walks in with something in his arms. It’s a puppy! And not just any puppy! It’s the one called Ugg that mom has been talking about. The one that I made it perfectly clear that I did not want. Glad to see that my parents care about my feelings.

The puppy’s arrival has made my life stressful. It has been years since I’ve had to deal with a puppy. They bounce so much. And they have sharp teeth! And they have high-pitched yippy yappy barks!

Now, here’s something good. Mom spent yesterday working in the yard. Hours upon hours spent blowing the leaves in the back yard. She made a pile in the lower yard that is simply HUGE! I can’t wait to start tunneling though it. WhooHoo!

And I finally started playing with the puppy yesterday. That made mom release a sigh of relief. I’m still not crazy about the puppy, but I’m not so stressed out either. Mom is very pleased about this. She wants all of us to get along & be happy. I still don’t like having the puppy close to me though, the only person I like snuggling with is mom!
