Weekend #3

So, my playdate with Chloe on Thursday went well...or at least I think so. I had SO much fun with her! We walked so far, I barely made it back! I was pooped (hehe, pun intended)! I especially love all the toys she gave me. I really, really liked the dental chew. Chloe's mom says she never eats it, but she sure didn't like me chewing it when we got back from our walk! I also got to meet Chloe's sister, Abbey. She wouldn't play with me...she just growled. Strange looking puppy she was. Little did I know she was actually a CAT - Auntie Grace told me later. I like playing with big dogs. They can take my punches, or as I like to call them...love taps.

Like me new harness?!

I got to spend all day Friday with grandma and grandpa! They are awesome. They give me carrots and take me on long walks. Oh! When we were walking, we ran into Auntie Eng's mom and one of my friends! We had so much fun playing in people's lawns! Auntie Grace thinks I got bit by ants somewhere though. I guess I was pretty itchy. 

When Auntie Grace and Uncle John Ross picked me up, I was fast asleep with grandma in the family room. I was super excited though! And, to my surprise I had a friend to sit with me in the back! Meet Auntie Maggie (pictured left). She's giving me a big hug. She loves me - she said so herself. All this excitement wore me out the whole weekend!

I guess my weekend wasn't over though. We had yet another visitor on Saturday. This one from Auntie Reshan, Uncle Holman and their Bailey! There's nothing more I love than attention from humans, except for the attention from other DOGS! This one was tiny...and fast! He was running from me and jumped on the couch...and I followed! That was the first time Auntie Grace and Uncle John Ross saw me jump like that. I think my legs are getting stronger from all these stairs. I think everyone was getting a little scared that I was playing too rough though. I keep telling them that they are just love taps, but they wouldn't listen and they hid Bailey from me for a little while. I found her, eventually.

I lost some of my baby teeth this weekend. My canine tooth was pretty loose all day Sunday. It bugged me all night. I kept trying to loosen it more by chewing on all my toys. Auntie Grace thinks I swallowed it overnight. She found one of my molars in my mouth this Tuesday morning! It doesn't hurt. Auntie Grace and Uncle John Ross keep saying I'm a big girl. (ww31`222222222222222222222213www <-- Me learning how to type....as you know Auntie Grace has been typing for me all this time)

OH. Auntie Grace and Uncle John Ross THINK I met another milestone this weekend. NO accidents this weekend....again, so they think. I'm doing pretty good in my crate, too. Even though I almost pooped my pants after that crazy storm yesterday afternoon! There were branches everywhere on our walk...I was in heaven. Oh yeah, forgot to tell you guys - I learned how to shake hands! I'l have to show you guys next time I see you. I love you all!

Week 2

We reached a milestone today (Thursday, 6/9)! It's been a whole week and I haven't had an accident in my crate (knock on wood)! I held it for a whole EIGHT hours today! A first! I am so awesome.

A couple of days ago, Auntie Grace took me to a pet store where there was lots of treats, toys, people, and other dogs! At first, I was a little scared because it was like we were in a doctor's office and Auntie Grace just left me there! Then, I got distracted because there was so many people giving me love and attention. I love turning on my back so people can rub my belly. People just eat that shit up. Speaking of eating shit...I got a taste today! I tricked Auntie Grace, she thought I was just going for a stick under some thick bushes...then I came out with poop in my mouth! HAha. Well, I shouldn't laugh, Auntie Grace didn't find it very funny...she didn't know it was poop until she tried kicking it away. I don't know why she wouldn't let me go back for more...whatever was in there was tasty! I'm jealous. Anyway, at the doctor's I got 3 more shots and my ears cleaned! The doctor said there was some discharge, so now Auntie Grace has to clean my ears and put a drop of ointment every day, twice a day! I don't like it very much, but I tolerate it. It feels good when she rubs my ears! I also got to see my sugar momma, Auntie Erika! She wouldn't give me love because I had poop in my head. I couldn't hold it much longer at the doctor's office...there was just too much excitement all around! OH, and Auntie Grace picked me up a new leash and harness! It's such a relief not getting choked when I try and pull.

Oh, I have another milestone for you. I haven't gone one day without having an accident in the house. Uncle John Ross isn't happy about that one, but he doesn't get me. I'm still figuring my body out!

Anyway, it's time to go. Auntie Grace tells me I have a playdate with someone named Chloe. I hope she likes me. I will tell you more about it when I get back!

Weekend #2

We had another eventful weekend. Not sure if you guys care to know or not, but I am so happy about it I'm going to share with you anyway...my poop is finally back to "normal"! I'd take a picture and show you...I am that happy, but that's probably taking it just a little too far. I don't get anymore chicken and rice, cottage cheese, or canola oil in my food. They even stopped feeding me my new treats! I miss those treats, but I hate diarrhea...it hurts. Oh, what else was there? Oh! I stayed a whole day in my crate on Friday. I wasn't too happy about it, as you can see.

Saturday, they put me back in there, but I was okay with it...I had a new bed! Uncle John Ross and Auntie Grace tell me I would have had fun where they went...Riverside Arts Markets, lots of dogs to play with! They said I couldn't go yet because I hadn't had all my vaccinations yet, but when they got back I got to take a ride in Auntie Erika's car! She wouldn't let me sit in her lap like she used to. She said I was too fat! Auntie Grace said the same thing that night when she weighed me...she said I was 24.8 lbs! Anyway, we got in queue with a bunch of other dogs and their parents. I was SO EXCITED! My friend in front of us shared her water bowl with me. I was thirsty...it was pretty hot outside. Then, before I know it Auntie Grace put me on a table and then we had to go. I don't even know what hit me, but Auntie Grace and Auntie Erika tell me I got 2 shots! The doctor gave me a big hug and I guess I just got distracted. I was really thirsty that night and drank too much water so I had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Auntie Grace didn't know until I started going at the foot of the bedroom stairs. She tricked me! I thought we were going downstairs to use the bathroom - I still get confused. But, I'm glad she took me out...cause I had to poop, too! It must have been those shots the doctor gave me.

Sunday, I got to go on another road trip! Auntie Grace and Uncle John Ross dropped me off at Auntie Erika's and I got to spend the whole day with her! I even took a nap with her, that was nice. I was really excited when they came back though. I drank a lot when we got home and had to use the bathroom in the middle of the night AGAIN. It's tiring using the bathroom in the middle of the night. I hope I don't get used to it. 

Monday, Uncle John Ross put me in the darn crate again, Auntie Grace keeps calling it my "home". I surprised Auntie Grace when she got home - I greeted her coming down the stairs! Little do they know I have the keys to my own home. I tried to go outside after I couldn't find them anywhere cause I had to use the bathroom, so I ended up just going pee in the kitchen and on Uncle John Ross' rug. I fell asleep, and got scared...I woke up to all these loud noises and things falling out of the sky! I tried to be good...I've seen how much time it takes for Uncle John Ross and Auntie Grace to clean my poop inside, so I waited until Auntie Grace got home to do that. I'll never tell them where I hide that key though.

Memorial Weekend

I am sorry for not writing sooner, but this weekend was RUFF! The days are starting to blend together now. Wake up, go out to pee, come up to eat, then go out to poo. Sleep, wake up to see what everyone is up to, sleep, wake up to get some water, sleep, go out to pee, play a little, sleep, learn some tricks/eat some treats, sleep, eat dinner, go out to pee and poop, play, sleep.


Sunday was a little different. Auntie Grace and Uncle John Ross put some cottage cheese in my food and they think this made me have diarrhea. They left me thinking I was feeling better, but I made a mess in my crate! I was embarrassed, but I got a nice shower out of it! Monday was eventful, too. I got to visit Uncle John Ross' mom and dad. I got to use my playpen!! I think I got a little too excited though. I passed out right when I got home, but I guess Auntie Grace and Uncle John Ross noticed I was breathing faster than normal. So, they woke me up and squirted lemon juice down my throat! I didn't know what was going on, but I could breath a lot better after that. And something happened in the middle of the night...I couldn't hold it in any longer and I went poo in Uncle John Ross' bedroom...and then went right back to sleep.

It's Wednesday and I think I'm finally feeling better, but I am STARVING! Last night Auntie Grace fed me brown rice...it was yummy, but I had another accident in the middle of the night. Today, I got to eat white rice and chicken! So yummy! I just had a little more diarrhea this morning, but only went pee the rest of the day. Auntie Grace put me in my crate when it was time for me to nap. I am feeling rested and so much better I started doing laps around the living room when Uncle John Ross came home and watched me! I think I made Auntie Grace and Uncle John Ross dizzy I was going so fast! I hope I don't have another accident tonight so Uncle John Ross and Auntie Grace don't take me to the vet. I am supposed to be going with Auntie Erika on Saturday to get my vaccinations! I don't think I can take 2 visits in one week. Stay tuned!
