Mornings

Mom said that tomorrow she is going to film my morning routine. She wants to film me stretching and and rolling around. I'll have to remember to just run out of my crate and not dawdle.  This morning she let me out in the backyard to play. She came out for a little bit and played "I'm gonna get ya!". That's where Mom or Dad run around after me. It is a GREAT game! Then she went inside and I ran around the garden. I did some laps jumping over the raised beds but then I decided to dig. I jumped into one of the raised beds and dug. Then I jumped in the air and turned around. When I landed I dug in the new spot. Mom was inside laughing. Then I ran around some more. Mom opened the door and I pretended to ignore her and just look like I was running laps. But then I veered off and raced into the kitchen!

Please Dad, drop something on the floor

I think Mom is trying to starve me. Obviously she wanted a whippet or a greyhound cause she only gives me 3/4 of a cup of food in the morning and the same at night! Sometimes I get some apple, or carrots or cheese, but still! I am basically starving here! Tonight Mom and Dad were eating dinner. I finished my dinner (it doesn't take that long to eat such a miniscule amount of food!), so I sat by Dad (he's the messier eater). They had a 2 course meal! I just had kibble because the carrots Mom gave me while she was making dinner don't count!  Salad, which smelled yummy but didn't fall on the floor and pasta which also smelled yummy. Mom told Dad to put the rest of the salad in a bowl. I watched as a crouton went flying through the air and headed towards the floor. I pounced on it and ate it before it even hit the floor. No five second rule for me-if I can snag it before it touches the floor, the faster it gets in my tummy!

Snuggling with Dad

Today Dad was home all day! I got to spend lots of time with him and I got to snuggle on the couch with him. Eventually Mom came home and dragged me out for a walk.

Fun

Yesterday Dad took me to then dog park. There were no mean huskies or poodles there so I had a great time! I was playing with a french bulldog puppy and some other dogs. One looked kinda like my bff Rigby. We stayed there for 1 1/2 hours. When we got home I rested. Then Mom and I went out for a really long walk! I think she is trying to tire me out! The rest of the night was not fun, cause my grandpa was over and I could smell food but Mom wouldn't let me in the living room.

Dad's big mistake

Last night Dad unintentionally tested me. And I failed. Dad went up to take a shower and didn't think to barricade me in the kitchen. This meant that I had FULL run of the living room with NO supervision. I could have been good if I had wanted to. I could have just grabbed my antler and curled up on my bed. But no, I wanted to be naughty. I jumped up on the couch and ate the newspaper and then I chewed on Dad's car insurance bill! When Dad came downstairs there was a big mess, and he couldn't yell at me cause he was the one who forgot to put me in the kitchen. When Mom came home, Dad told her the whole story. She said that I was still too naughty to be allowed to have the run of the house unsupervised.

I need more iron!

Today Mom left me in the kitchen and went to work. I was bored so I looked around for things to eat or chew on. I looked on the shelves and found some forks. Those will be fun to chew on! When Mom came home, I had four dessert forks scattered around the floor. Mom didn't yell at me, she just sighed. She sighes a lot! She picked up the forks and gave me a carrot instead. Then she wanted to know why I couldn't play with the 5 or 6 toys that were in the kitchen with me. I just thought I needed more iron in my diet so I decided to chew on the forks.

Mom goes out too much

Last night Mom came home and took me for a nice walk. We came home and ate dinner but what Mom and Dad were eating smelled much tastier. I ate my food and then hung out under the table waiting for some food to fall. Then Dad took me out for a walk and Mom left in a car! So it was Dad and I hanging out. Then I heard someone at the door. It was Mom! She came back! I was so happy to see her that I rolled on my back for a belly rub. Then she sat down on the couch and I ran over and jumped on her lap. I wriggled around until my tummy was facing out so that I could be on her lap and get a belly rub! It was a good night!
