Week 4 [February 20-28, 2012]

Getting Comfortable
So, I'm getting settled without my momma and my brother.  The humans only let me into the kitchen, living room and Mom and Dad's room.  But just when I was getting used to the layout of the rooms I have access to, the humans moved stuff around on me!  They completely rearranged the living room.

On the upside, I can look out the window now!  It is almost eye level with me.  But if I can get away with standing up to the window, I can see out.  And oh ... what's that over there?  Luke and Nemo are out!

I want out, too...

Growing Fast
So I really like the person they call Grandma.  She bought me my own bed to sleep in.  And don't get me wrong, I totally love to curl up in it.  But Mom, the lady of the house, says that she can't believe how fast I'm growing!  I mean, I get it ... I am a hungry little pup.  I'm growing and growing.  And I've grown so much, I've outgrown my bed.  Now what?

Bed Alternative
So with all this growth and no action to get a bigger bed, I've taken things into my own hands.  First, I tried just using the pillows that lay around.  For some reason, they didn't want to share!

That's fine.  I'll just sit on one of the couches with them.  Well, apparently ... they don't like that either.  But after being very persistant:  up, they pull me off, wait until they sit down, up... etc, I have found that I have won the battle and I'm comfortably cuddling on the couch with my new family!

Day 13 - We have neighbors!

Humans OK.  Need Dogs.
Don't get me wrong. I love hanging with my humans and they are my pack now.  However, every once in a while, a dog needs another dog.

I just don't get the TV thing.  It makes funny noises and every once in a while it barks.  Yes, it barks...  but it isn't a dog!

I need dog companionship   You know what I mean?  Someone that has the same interest as you - chases his tail, sniffs everything in site, chew on anything you can stick in your mouth ...

Then Mom says that since I got my shots, I can go on a play date.  I thought it would be more kids, but guess what??  Not one ... TWO dogs!  I couldn't believe my nose!

My New Buddies
So there's Luke.  He's so wise.  Just happy to be around everyone, but his human doesn't like him running so much.  I guess he hurt his leg chasing his brother around.  So he just stands wagging his tail with the humans.

Nemo is my main man.  He and I are going to get into so much trouble together!  He's a year old and knows all the cool stuff.  He let me chase after him and try to get a hold of his Frisbee.

He is so fast, though.  It's my Bassett legs that get the better of me.  I just can't run as fast cause there is too much of me!

So two dogs ... right next door!  Boy, am I tired, but oh did I have fun!

PS.  I had so much fun ... the next day, I wanted to lay in the sun, but I was too tired to even move my bed over into it!  Don't tell Mom!
