Stuff

My dogmother called today to give me a big hug and I thought that was so special.  I kissed her over the thing Mom talks into.  I don't know if my dogmother got the kiss or not because she's far away, too far for me to run to, even further than that farm place.

Mom keeps singing this song to me called Mimi Mia.  She says it's from some kind of show but I don't think so. 

One of her pee-an-oh student's Daddy says that there's an opera with a singer named Mimi so I guess I have a name that people like to sing about.

It was a nice day.  I always like hearing from my dogmother and having Mom sing to me.  And having my brother come to see me.

It is all about MeMe!

Friday

It's harder keeping up with this than I thought!

That last post of mine I forgot to say that the farm people left us a box of stuff, some the same as we worked so hard to get on Saturday.  Why did we do all that work if they were going to bring it anyway?

My Mom went to the Puppy School on Wednesday and I wasn't invited.  What good is it going to my school if I'm not there?  She said I'll go this next week and that my doctor is taking the class, too.  You'd think my doctor would know everything that there is to know so I'm thinking maybe I need a new doctor.  I'm looking forward to meeting the other puppies, though.  I know I'll be the cutest.

Speaking of doctors, my brother is coming here tonight.  He's the one that did my logo.  I wonder if he'll remember me.  I've grown a bit bigger and lost some of my teeth.

I hope he does.

Depending on that wet stuff falling from the sky we may go to the farm again tomorrow but I don't know how we'll all fit in that blue box.

I like the wet stuff but the people don't seem to, too much.

I'm helping Mom clean out a cold box today.  She's throwing away stuff she thinks is too old but it smells fine to me.  I hope she doesn't throw me away when I get to be too old!

Mom told me I should write something

I've been too busy to write and when I'm in the mood, SHE'S using the computer.  I think if she wants me to keep doing this, she should get me my own computer.  My paws are getting bigger and it's getting hard to type the right letters sometimes.

We've been doing that block thing almost every night except one time we went the other way, doing non-left turns at every corner instead of left turns.  Mom said that's still a block but it doesn't make sense to me that it could be so different with the same name.

Every time I go out, I meet mew people and they all say I'm pretty.

                                          

Saturday we went in the big blue box again and went to the farm.  I met lots of nice people who wanted to pet me.

 

 

 

I was interested that all of the puppy-humans asked if it was ok if they petted me instead of just coming over to me.  I liked that they asked and I said yes to all, of course. 

 

 

 

 

 

We went out in the fields and I helped Mom and Nana pick tomatoes and peppers.  I stood guard while Nana got some skwash that wasn't supposed to be picked yet.

I couldn't find anything to pick in this field so I just ran around and looked at the butterflies and stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then we came home again and I slept a lot.

Sunday I helped my Daddy do some outside work and we met some new neighborhood dogs and people.  While we were out talking to people my Mom saw a humming bird.  She said she'd never seen one here before.  I was confused by that because I didn't hear anyone humming.

That was a fun day.

Monday was my Mom's birfday and she's really old now.  That friend came over to pet me some and then she said happy birfday to Mom.

Daddy was working outside so I helped him with painting and we're going to set up a new fence so I can play outside.  I'm going to remember where the places are I can get out in case I want to go visit any of my new friends.

Then Mom had some of those pee-an-oh students and they all petted me and so did their Moms and Daddys.  Then I finally got a nap in before Daddy came home with gifts for Mommy's birfday.

He took pictures of me while she opened them but I don't have those yet.  I don't know how they expect to write a quality blog without the proper tools but I'm trying.

I think I'm going to rest today before the block thing happens again.

Blocks?

I've been out every night this week walking to the left when I get to a street.  My Mom says that's called "walking around the block".  That sounds like a silly name to me but so does a lot of stuff.  Isn't a block a toy?

The other night I did this whole block in 14 minutes.  I don't know how long that is but I know I went as fast as my little legs could take me.

That friend of Mom's came over to see me again and then she didn't want to walk home so we drove her in the blue box.  I don't know if she lives on another block or what but Mom knew the way and she got us there and home ok.

Daddy was away for a while so it was just Mom and me  That was kind of nice but I want Daddy to get me those pictures from the farm so I can put those up.  It's almost time to go again!

I heard that my human brother is coming home sometime.  I wonder if he's losing his baby teeth too, like I am.  He's the one who is a doctor but not a vet like my doctor.

I hope to have those pictures soon.  I like looking at them!

Yesterday was busy.  I arranged my room and put all my toys in my crate so I could always have them nearby.  Good idea, huh?

Saw my vet again today

My Mom took me in that blue thing to see that doctor again.  I thought after I passed all my tests last time that was it.  I guess not.

Nana met me up on the black stuff outside my vet and we gave her something or other.  I met a nice lady who said I was pretty.

We went in and everyone was petting me and saying how pretty I was.  This time, I went on the big-dog scale instead of that cat scale.  I'm up to over 16 pounds now.

I had a different vet this time and she was nice.  Even her name was nice - Candy.  She didn't take my temperture and THAT was nice, too.

I know she snuck in some shots but she was kind about it and she said it would keep me from coughing and catching that parvo thing.  I can go on sidewalks now, anywhere I want!

She said my teeth are coming out and my big-girl teeth are coming in.  I wonder if I leave them for the dog fairy if she'll leave me some treats.

The vet said I might get to be about 60 pounds when I grow up and that my dad might be a border collie.  I don't know how she could know that if I don't know that and I don't think mom knows that but I let her think she knew what she was talking about.

She and Mom talked about doing something that would keep me from ever having puppies.  That didn't sound good to me.  I'm just a puppy myself.  How can I decide what I want to do later?

I got all kinds of good reports and when I left they gave me a new charm for my neck. 

My Mom signed me up for some school thing.  I don't think they can teach me anything but maybe I'll go anyway.

When I was leaving they gave me some stuff and it said MimiO on it and Mom thought that was funny because some people call her MaryO.

She had people over again playing that pee-an-oh thing.  Maybe that's what I'll learn in school even though I've known about pee for a long time.

While she was doing that I put some towels in my room.  I thought they might come in handy later but Mom thought that I wouldn't need them and took them back out.

Well, I gotta go.  It's dinner time and I think it's gonna be lamb and rice...again.

We went to a farm

Sorry I haven't written much lately.  The people keep me busy and I can't get online much other than on my leash.  I guess that's sorta online.  I've been trying and trying to get rid of that thing but I just can't chew through it.  My people are talking about getting a chain link leash and that sounds awful so maybe I'll stop for awhile.

Yesterday morning I got up early.  I guess Daddy was making noise while he was sleeping so Mom got up to go use the computer - why can't I use it at that time?  I'd do more writing here if I could.  Anyway, as soon as I saw Mom I wanted her to take me outside - and she did.  Then Daddy heard the door open and so he got up and then he took me out so I went out a lot before breakfast.  Made me very hungry!

I think Mom fell asleep again and Daddy went somewhere so I just played for awhile.

Mom fixed me a big thing out of that cold box and one of the things fell on the floor and she let me play with it.  It was really cold and it turned into water when I pushed it around.  Then it was gone.

Then when Daddy came home we went in that big blue thing and picked up the woman who was here just before my human brother, the non-vet doctor, went away.  I think they called her Nana so I will too.

Anyway, we got her in the blue thing and drove for a long time.  It seemed like forever but eventually we got there.

When I got out of the blue thing at the farm it looked like the grass went on forever.  Wow!  I met so many people and kids and dogs.  Most all the people said I saw cute, pretty, beautiful, of course.

Mom went in a building where she got pieces of paper that my 3 people put on their arms but I didn't get one even though I tried to get theirs.  I guess she told some of the people in there about me because they came out to meet me.

Then after that we went for the longest walk all over.  I saw all kinds of things I've never seen before and some really big dogs.  There were kids playing some kind of game that I didn't understand where they moved things that were as big as they were but they were black and white color.

We walked and walked and sometime ran and Daddy took lots of pictures.  He hasn't given those to me yet so I'll have to add those later.  Mom had brought a big thing of water for me and I stopped several times to have a drink.  That was good.  It was hot and I got very thirsty.  The last time my feet were hot and tired from all the walking so I put them in the water, too.  That sure felt good.

At the end just before we came home we were talking to some people and I was walking a little when I stepped on something.  The lady said it might have been a b but that doesn't make sense.  Anyway, it feels better now.

I slept most of the way home then I went to sleep early last night.  What a day!

I'll put in pictures when Daddy gives them to me!

Vote for Me!Me! For President

Who knew I'd run?  I like to run and play, and fool around.  Just like the other presidents.

Busy Day!

I thought it would be easier here but it sure isn't.  I got up about 6:30 and went out with Daddy.  As usual, Mom got up late.  She seems to do that a lot.

While Daddy was standing in the box with the water coming on his head Mom took me out.  I didn't really need to go out again, I just wanted to play.  Then I decided to go by where the streets come together so I can see more dogs walking by.

I lay down in the grass and heard the strangest noise.  Id didn't sound like a dog or anything.

Then these 2 guys walked by.  They had sticks but not in their mouths.  They had one in each paw and when they walked it made that noise.  One of them petted me and said I was pretty so they were good guys.

We went in for a while and that friend of Mom's came over to say hi to me.  I heard she walked from wherever she was and we would have walked her partway back but I can't go on the sidewalks yet because I might catch that parvo thing.  I don't think I cold catch it though because i can't catch a ball very well, either.

We walked her outside though.  Mom is still hoping I'll pee outside.  But then some guy walked by and said he was doing something with gas.  I don't know what that was but he went across the street after that.  I guess he's not afraid of parvo.

Then my Mom went out for a little while and I got to stay by myself and nap for a while.  When she came home I helped her bring in some stuff that smelled pretty good but she put it in that cold box and said it was for later.

My Mom called my dogmother and put the phone by my ear so I could hear her but there was just a tape or something so I couldn't talk back.

Mom and I went out again - she never gives up!  This time that friend of Mom's who walked over walked over again with a man this time.  I played with them for a while and wrapped myself around his legs with that drat leash.  They didn't take it off, though, just unwound everything.

Then they were going to go and 2 women stopped to talk to me.  They used to be foster moms just like my foster mom and they have lots of puppies around.  They said I could come play sometime.

Daddy came home while I was out but then he went right back out again.  A woman came and talked to me and told me I was pretty.  She said she has 2 dogs that I can go play with, too.  I'm going to be busy!

She also said that she saw a fox coming out of my yard one time and I should be careful going out at night.  I always make my people go with me anyway so I'm not worried.

So I met a lot of people today.  More than I can count on my paws.  Of course, they all said I was pretty.  It's all about Me!Me!

About that lamb and rice - I'd rather have that stuff in the cold box that Mom brought home today.

I'm back in my new home!

My new people are back from wherever they were and they came for me today.

I spent the whole time they were gone playing with my sister, the other dog and that cat (blech!)  My mom and brother came to visit me,  too, so that was cool.  We all had a great time together and my brother taught us some new stuff.

When my new people got me they thought I had gotten bigger.  I could have been rude and told the woman that she had gotten bigger, too, but I didn't.

We all got home and I had to check out the yard again but it was pretty much the same as when I was here before.

Then it was naptime.  Do I look bigger to you?

After my nap Daddy came back from somewhere with lots of new food for me!  Looks like it's lamb and rice for dinner tonight.  Yum!

He got some food that he put in that big box that I can't get into.  When I stand by there it's cold but they won't let me look inside.

It's going to be dinnertime pretty soon so I'll let you know how this new stuff is.

After that Daddy, Mommy and I went out.  He had some long stick and was holding it up against the deck, then he went to a different place and did the same thing.  He said he'd going to put some thing there and I think he said it had something to do with me but I'm not sure yet.

Here I am playing with a new toy.  It makes some kind of squeaky noise.  Why do they think we like stuff that makes noise like this?  The thing I like best is a rope kind of thing with knots at the end.

Of course, shoes are good too.

Daddy went out again to get something to do with whatever he was was doing out back.  I guess I'll know more later.

It's good to be back - all kinds of stuff to look at and try to figure out.
