WHEW! THANKS.....THAT'S MUCH BETTER
Please don't tell Sidney that I was scared. She is always calling me a baby. Speaking of babies and being scared, look at me when I was 6 weeks old getting my first bath. Uuk! First I get dunked in the sink like a old smelly cooking pot and then this goopy stuff that smells like the flowers I'm always getting blamed on digging up is poured all over me. If that's not bad enough, Mom is showing me and MY PRIVATE PARTS to the neighbors, but the kicker is..... they take my picture. Now what kind of first day is that?
After the trauma of bath time and my first day, I got to know my new home. We live on four acres in the country, with some rather large dogs to our immediate north, or horses as Sidney is always trying to tell me...yea right.....I'm not falling for that one. Sidney and Shadow my two siblings share this with me. For a long time I thought my new name was NO as that's what they said ever time they spoke to me. But finally they drilled my name into me. What a "BEE-YUT-E-FUL" name as Sidney likes to say. Not about my name mind you, but about her. She is a very vain little thing if you ask me.
Things have been going nicely. Ever since I learned that they want me to go outside to do my bizz, and mind you, that was a monumental breakthrough that occurred one afternoon, life has been good. I run, chase and annoy my sisters, my main job in life, and have begun to fit right in.
Update: I now am 7 months old and believe you me I run this joint. I have Mom and Dad wrapped around my little furry paw. This is one of the latest shots of me. Check out the style, the technique! Wishbone look out. I'm a hot little Mama!!!
Dear Diary
July 13: I have met the man of my dreams. His fur is broken like mine and he has the biggest brown eyes you ever saw. His name is Peanut and I think I'm in love. I talked Mom into letting me go over to his house and we took some pictures. We fooled around a little but Dad said I was to bite any boy that sniffed my butt. More later.
Aug. 7: Mommy took me over to see my future husband. I HATED HIM WITH A PASSION. I don't quite know why although I heard Mom talking about hormones whatever that is. We got back in the car and went home. Whew! Glad thats over.
Aug. 9: We went back to "THAT DOGS" house. How I thought I could have loved him is unbelievable to me. I was forced to be in his back yard with him all by myself. Don't worry though, Daddy taught me well. I snapped and growled and didn't let that overly friendly hound anywhere near me. You wouldn't believe the things he wanted to do. After 20 minutes of biting and chewing on his ears Mom finally came and got me. We got back in the car and went home.
Aug. 11: What is wrong with these people? Why do they keep taking me back to this scroungy mongrel? I no more than hit the ground when Peanut attacked me. Well I jumped up bit him on the snoot and drew blood. I didn't want it to come to this but a girls got to do what a girls got to do. We got back in the car and went home.
Sept. 6: There is no more talk of taking me places especially with aggressivly over-friendly dogs. Life is about back to normal.
Oct. 11: Mom brought home a big ball of black fur with eyes. I've never had an animated toy before but when you nudge it with your nose it whines and falls over. Cool!
Nov. 22: This toy that Mom brought is growing. It laid on me the other day and nearly squashed me. I bit it on the belly. It doesn't come near me anymore.
Dec. 25: Its Christmas! We don't have any lights because the "tricity" went out Sidney said. I can't find my new chewie and Scooby (Mom gave the toy a name) will steal it if I'm not careful.
Jan. 18 Its cold out here but today we got another new igloo doggie house. Have you tried to stuff four girls into one bathroom. Of course not. Now Sidney and I can primp in one and Shadow and Scooby can have the other. We can always get in the barn but from out there you can't always be close to the back door when it opens and scoot in the house.
Mar. 5: Its Spring. Time to go hunt mice in the barn with Sidney. They get especilly active this time of year and this year we are determined to win. If you don't know what I'm talking about you need to go to Sidney's Mouse Page and read about our feud.
May 11: Mom got a new scanner so we are always being put in weird positions for pictures. I showed her my bee-hind but she didn't think it was so funny. I have an awful feeling my butt is going to end up on the internet. Man, nothing is sacred.
