A month later

I know it's been awhile since I have posted. My mom has been busy so I have been sitting here waiting patiently for her to type my newest update. I have been with my new family for a month now. Life has been pretty good for me. They tried to put me on higher quality dog food and it made me sick. So after 2 weeks of my tummy being a mess mom said it was enough and stopped adding it to my food. (In case you don't know, you never put a dog on a new food unless you slowly add the new food to their old food till it's all new food) Anyways, the family left me at home one day and came home with a huge(44lbs) bag of food for me. Mom said it was on sale, I hope so since it will be months before it's all gone. I also get treats in moderation. Mom says they are only to be given to me in moderation. The kids don't listen though because they sneak them to me. Oh and I hate milkbones!

Mom and dad say I'm awesome. I have never had an accident in the house. They love that I know sit and lay. They are working on stay with me. I really should learn that since I have gotten out of the house two times now. Dad was mad, one time he ran after me barefooted. I was in trouble for that.

I'm learning and fitting in overall okay. The family offers me tons of love. The family cat is getting use to me now. She still won't let me play with her. But at least she will come near me now.

So that is my one month check in. I how to get more post in over the next month.

Camping

We went camping this past weekend. Mommy said I was a good boy. She said I barked to much but not to much that it was a huge problem. I chewed through my leash while I was tide to a tree. I also put a few small holes in the windows of the tent. Mommy isn't upset with me. She said it was okay since the holes weren't a problem. She replaced my leash. Mom did say she plans to buy me a bark collar for our next camping trip. I was scared of them till I heard mom telling dad he had to find one that uses sound to correct me not shock. I think she really cares about me. I think I am fitting in just fine around here. I get plenty of food, love and walks. It's just the way I like it.

Ouchie

Yesterday my new mom and kids took me to the vet. The vet gave me a full yearly. I received a few shots. I am now have my rabies vaccination. I could have done without it but mom says I have to have it to live in our county and to get my license. They let my mom know that I don't like my toe nails touched. Other than that I was given a clean bill of health. Oh and that heart worm medicine is nasty even with puproni wrapped around it!

First days home

On Friday, June 26, I gained a new family. They spent so much time with me at the humane society. I'm so glad they wanted an older dog because I am 5 years old. I had been at the shelter for 3 months. The biggest drag though was they came form 2 hours away. This means I was stuck in the car with complete strangers for 2 hours! I got the best of them though because I got to ride shotgun on the way home. HEHEHE! It's okay though because my new family has 2 kids. I adore kids. The little girl is my pillow. I have only been in my new home for 2 days now and I have met many new people who all adore me too. I guess I won't chew on any shoes. Well honestly, I don't like toys so the shoes are safe. Let me tell you, this family loves to take me everywhere they can. I love car rides. They have given me the whole back of the SUV. I think this is so great. I have room to lay down or walk around.

Lets not forget about my bath today. My new mom wanted to get me all clean. I had a few mats and she said I smelled (someone need to tell her I have a huge black coat on all the time and I'm a dog!). They took me to the pet store and gave me a bath. But the laugh as on mom sice I climbed up on her and soaked her shirt. Yeah, that little plastic appron wasn't saving her from me! ;) But now I'm all clean!

Okay now I have to share with you the family cat! She is full of a-t-t-i-t-u-d-e! I was in this house for less than an hour and she jumped me! What a way to welcome your now friend. She is a pain. I have tried to get her to play with me and she won't play. I think she is stuck up. Oh though I did her mom say she's 9 now. Maybe she's just getting old and cranky! Oh well, I'll make her like me. I think she is starting to warm up to me already.

Overall, I like this family so far. They are always giving me love. Oh and I make thim so happy by just sitting on command! I will be keeping this family, I think.
