Sept. 5th: I got to see my mommy for the very first time! It was very difficult for me, as I had gotten use to my foster mom, Wendy, then the lady, Vivian, her husband, Keith, and their dog, Lily... By the time they left though, I was asleep in my mom's arms. I was very picky with my aunts though. I kept snapping at them, telling them I wanted to be in charge here. =)

Sept. 8th: I went to the vet today, my new vet was VERY nice 'cept she stuck me with a needle for a heartworm test. That came out negetive. She told me I was very pretty and that my mom was doing a good job taking care of me already. I was alittle nervous during all of this, but my mom was their the whole time! Even during the drawing of the blood.... My mom told me afterwards how great I did!!!

Sept. 10th: I have adjusted better. I am not snapping at much. I hate it though, when my mommy has to go off to work. I will howl for HOURS!!! I'm eating good and my mom keeps telling me how proud she is of me! I love to sleep and spend most of my time sleeping, though I try not to sleep when she is gone. I am very protective of my mom. =)

Sept. 11th: Bath day! I pretty much like it... I mean, it isn't the most FAVORITE thing to do, but it's cool. Mommy washes me REALLY good, then she blow dries me! Then comes the good part... she wraps me up in a nice, warm blanket and I take a nap while she holds me. The only part I don't really care about is the next time I have to go out after my bath I have to get sprayed with some flea stuff! Yuck! But at least it makes me feel good!

Sept. 12th: Today I reached two milestones! One was I actually played nicely with my aunt Mindy... Mommy was REAL proud of me! The second thing was that I played really good with my toys. Before hand I wouldn't really chew... it was a more of a "why am I doing this" chew... but today it was like "WoW! This is fun" type of chew!!! Mom was proud of me then too! I really like it when she's proud! Makes me feel great!

Sept. 17th: My mom was gone for most of the day, so I was in my kennel or my room for most of it. I sure hated her being gone. I howled and howled. I didn't want to go to sleep, but I did get to a point to where I relaxed...just alittle that is. When she got home I tackled her and licked her! Her face was the cleanest right after I did that too!!!

Sept. 18th: I had my mommy ALL day today!!! I loved that! I slept for most of the day though, but it was right next to her! I was really glad that she didn't have to go anywhere! She says that she doesn't have to go anywhere tomorrow either!!!!!!!!!! Man! What a life! You know what tomorrow is? It is my two week anniversary with living with my new mom. Life is great! I sleep good at night, I LOVE my rice and lamb too! It's yummy! Aunt Mindy is also real fun to play with.

Sept. 19th: Two weeks! Isn't that wonderful? Today was pretty good. Mommy was home all day today, which made my day! I watched this show on A&E with her, it was about animals and shelters and stuff like that. Everytime a dog would bark I would look up and my ears would go at attention. Mom thought that it was funny, but I just wanted to see what they were talking about!!! Today was Aunt Foxy's bath day! I watched her. She has to have it done outside, with a BIG hose. I'm glad I'm so small I can get mine done in the sink. Well, it's almost bedtime for me! (yawns) Mom says I have a BIG yawn for such a little puppy! Oh well! I had better get alot of rest tonight 'cuz mommy has to go away for a few hours tomorrow. Gotta get rested so I can howl!!

Sept. 23rd: Today, I went to the vet. I got put to sleep and when I woke up I was all groggy. I overheard Mom talking about when Aunt Mindy got spayed, so I guess that was what happened to me. I know they also cleaned my teeth 'cuz they sure felt funny afterwards! The whole night I was off and on with sleeping. I couldn't get comfortable and I was IN PAIN! I was also hungry! I had to go about 20 hours without food!

Sept. 24th: I felt better today, but I was in NO mood to play. Just ask Mindy! I growled at her several times. I was still in pain, but it was SO much less than yesterday! I ate like a horse today too!

Sept. 25th: I am all better. I ran and ran with Mindy today, around the table, then I went outside and I ran and ran some more! It tired me out though! Guess what?! I don't get a bath for a whole week! That makes it 2 weeks without one! I guess that spaying wasn't THAT bad!

Oct. 11th: Wow! I haven't written in here in ages! Let's see, there is so much to say! Um, I got my stitches out and Dr. Carol said that I healed just fine. I got a bath that day and believe it or not, it felt good! I'm more adjusted when mommy leaves. I just play with Mindy the whole time. I love the cool, crisp weather we have been having. Mommy has trouble getting me to go potty 'cuz I just luv to run and run and run outside! I distract Mindy while she's trying to go too! Um, let's see, I have a new member of the family to play with. I call her grandma, but actually she's my great-grandma. She's pretty neat. I ALWAYS greet her! I have even stayed over with her twice, of course my mommy was with me though!

Oct. 30th: I'm having such a awesome time in this house! I wake up and I wanna play with Mindy, but mommy doesn't always want me too 'cuz I wake her up, so usually I chew on my toys alittle bit until she gets up. But then, then I get to Mindy! Most of the time Mindy isn't quite awake so I'm kinda like her wake up dog! But I do love playing with her.

Feb. 8th: Wow! I haven't wrote in my journal in a long time! Well, things are going super-duper! I'm loving my new life! I feel SO at home! I love being spoiled. It is totally awesome! My mommy bought a heating pad just for me! Believe me, it so nice to come in from outside and getting on it. It is sooooooo warm! What will they think of next? My other mommy, Mommy Deb, spoils me way too much, but sshhh. Don't tell her! When my own mom is gone, I go into Mommy Deb and Daddy Rich's room, sleep on my heating pad, next to Mindy, and I get fed all sorts of goodies! I don't tell mom about them though 'cuz she thinks I'm TOO spoiled! But I'm not y'know. I'm just a puppy, living in a puppy world! I am so glad I've finally found time to update my site! I'll see ya around! I'm off, I hear the heating pad calling me!

Feb. 11th: Man! I am SO tired! I was sick during the night of the 9th and yesterday on the 10th. I wasn'r sick SICK, but I had diarreha. That isn't fun, believe me. Guess that will teach me to sneak stuff that I'm not suppose to have. Anyway, mom called the doctor yesterday and gave me some liquidy stuff, that helped. I'm better now.

March 11th: Wow! A whole month of not writing! I must be REAL busy! I have a lot to say. Mindy is not too happy about me living here. That makes me sad. She was took to the vet yesterday because she had been losing weight and acting depressed. Ms. Carol, our vet, said that Mindy wasn't liking my fitting in here. Ok, well, maybe she didn't say it in those EXACT words, but they were close. So, I'm keeping my distance from Mindy and even though I don't like it I know it'll pass. Mindy just needs to be re-assured that she is still the queen here and that I, well, I'm just a little pup. On to other news, my mommy left me nearly two weeks ago to go play basketball she said. I slept with my mom's brother that night she was gone and then the night she was coming back I bunked with Mindy. I was SO happy to see she was back. Her basketball team came won the SECOND place trophy! I was so happy for them! The thing is, now mom is acting the same way as back then. She keeps saying she'll have to go bye-bye again. She'll be gone this Saturday, but that is a one day thing. She'll be back around bedtime. Then, Wednesday she'll be gone for about 3 or 4 days! She's NEVER been gone for that long! I'm kinda nervous, but I have to keep reminding myself of what she says. Mommy ALWAYS comes back!
