Super Puppy v. CAT!!!

Hi there,

First have to say this is a very quick & short post for me because in a minute I have to prepare for Puppy School Graduation 2007. (I don't think for a second that yours truly will be graduating!)

Ha Ha

But my news today was to ask you "Have you ever licked a cat?"

My advice Don't. They taste awful! Their hair is all short, stubby and rough.

My family got up very early this morning and I went outside into the garden about 6:30am (yes am, I couldn't believe it either, I was fast asleep!) It was all very quiet in the neighborhood, when suddenly under the gap in the fence I saw the cat from next door. He was sleeping out there, I saw my chance so I stuck my tongue under the fence, Yucky!

You should have heard the noise as he flew away into his garden, the lady came rushing out accusing me of attacking her cat. How could I get hold of him.

Funny start to my day, but then we had an early puppy walk and everybody had to be somewhere, I was stuck with a puppy sitter again.

Well I have to go now, I wonder if they have a cap and gown in my size?

Will let you know of my graduation ceremony tomorrow........

Puppy, Don't eat the Daisies!

Well it has been quite a day, some naughty news, some dangerous news.

Before our morning puppy walk we had a visitor at home and for once I was allowed to say hello. Had lots of warnings about jumping up, but I can't help it, I want to be bigger. The lady didn't mind, she said so and I believed her!!

However, the family had coffee in the kitchen and I in my way just ran about puppy style, the lady said I was a very cute puppy. Alright so I like an audience, I rolled on my back, took her my toys, one of my favorite toys is an empty plastic milk bottle, nice and noisy. I also chew up cereal packets.

Now under the table next to her feet I found her basket, sniffed around, interesting but then the family caught me and I was warned to stay out. I was wandering down the hallway when I heard the lady scream, I rushed back. Oops looks like she put her hand into her basket and found my chewed up piece of cardboard, I wondered where I had left that. They all look at me accusingly, as if I could do that on purpose, I'm only a puppy, not Einstein!

So later we left for our walk, it was such a nice warm sunny day. But I wasn't the only creature that wanted to feel the warmth of the sun on our backs.

I discovered today that the world is not a very nice place to be, the big black dog was looking at something. The family went to see what she had found. A snake. Now I had never even heard about snakes before, let alone seen one and what kind does the big black dog have to find: an ADDER. This didn't mean anything to me until I sit in the car and listen to my family. So now I do not like snakes. Do we have to go for a walk tomorrow? I'm going to be scared! Help.

We got home but every stick I saw in the garden looked like a snake.

I decided to have my puppy biscuits in the kitchen, do snakes come indoors? I'm supposed to protect my house and family, forget that!

Oh well, I had a nice puppy snooze, went outside and tipped over the water bowl, my feet needed cooling down.

Time I think to start searching for a new place to dig my new secret 'hidey' hole. I found a good place below the apple tree, no-one will look there. It got a little tough I found some roots to the tree but the hole is getting bigger, I will just have to work on it.

Oh got to go that cat from next door is looking over at me from the roof of our shed, see him off........

Good Puppy Dog

Well, today I have been told that I am behaving very well, like the perfect little puppy dog, they said!
I think it's because after yesterday they will not let me out of their sight.
The only mischief I have managed to pull off today was quickly grabbing a piece of toast at breakfast time, but the laugh was on me because it had marmalade on it. Yuk, How do humans eat the stuff?
We went for a lovely puppy walk this morning, I was lucky enough to see some rabbits, they were lucky enough because I didn't chase them. The big black dog tells me it is a puppies duty to chase rabbits, but I don't see the point in that yet! I do so love to chase that cat from next door, I see the point in that, get out of my garden.
We went straight home but they are not leaving me alone for a second, what can I do?
I took a walk around my garden, I saw that someone has dug over and repaired my secret digging hole, that means they found the slipper I buried for chewing later and a meaty bone I discovered in the garden after a barbecue, and what's worse is they never gave those things back to me!
So getting bored I started a running game, tearing through the garden up into the house and back again, nope not allowed, they stopped me. Said I had muddy puppy feet, I haven't, all the mud dropped off in the hallway.
Couldn't stop myself I decided to enjoy a little gnaw on the doormat, got caught. My fault they probably heard my growling as I tried to make the stupid mat surrender.
There's only one reason for being good, they gave me a chew stick, wow. But that only lasts for a couple of minutes, how can any puppy be good for the WHOLE day just to get a chew stick?
So I took a nap and that has turned out to be a good decision for once, I just saw people putting outdoor shoes on, Yippee we are all going out again, oh this is a good day. I will have to go now, I'm off out again, bye...

'Little' Puppy!

First can I say 'What a crop!' This farmer really knows how to grow things, but makes me feel such a little puppy!

Hi everybody. This will surprise you but I have been told that I was a very very good puppy this holiday weekend, Wow!

Yesterday after breakfast I thought we were just going out on our usual puppy walk but no, we all got into the car and off we went. We drove & drove & drove, I really hate that car, there is a limit of how long a puppy can sit in a car without having an accident, so I started shuffling around. Unbelievably they got the message and we stopped at this green place - I flew out of the car - hurrah at last a walk. After being stuck in that car for hours... I did this HUGE puddle, never knew anyone, let alone a puppy, could have that much water inside of them, I felt much better. Right ready for my walk, I looked at them, are you coming?

Next thing I knew we all had to get back in the car again. I wanted to shout, Hey, where's my puppy walk?

We drove on, again. I'm getting tired of this. Then the family started almost shouting at me, please, please behave today. Don't do this or that!

I sat there so confused I haven't done anything wrong today, you've held me captive in this tin can on wheels for ages!

We stopped at last. We all got out and then we went into this different house. My family were hugging these strange people. They picked me up to meet, something about an Uncle, What's an Uncle?

Going into the house I sniffed around, it smelt very odd, like cleaning fluid. Not like home with our dog & puppy hairs, dried up drool, chewed wet paper down the back of the radiator, you know the kind of smell that makes a house a home!

I felt like a prisoner on parole, all eyes were watching me. Be careful, they kept repeating. What could I do with such an audience? We went into the living room, I could see this garden outside. Oh, it had lovely green grass and brightly colored flowers, I do so love flowers, tasty. I ran for the garden when suddenly WHAM, my puppy nose and face, followed hard by my body went slam head first into some glass doors. They all rushed to my side I was okay, just in severe shock. Why would anybody build a glass wall?

They let me into the garden but as soon as I had done another puddle they tried to keep me sitting down in the house. Impossible! Some children from this strange clean and tidy place took me for a walk, but I had to stay on the old puppy lead the whole time, what fun is that?

When we got back to the house I wanted to explore, I even got half way up the stairs but they saw me! No I couldn't live in a house like this BORING!

No wonder they said I was good, they wouldn't leave me alone for a second.

By the time we arrived back to a real home, ours, I was so desperate to move. I ran straight to my garden and roared round and round the lawn in circles, so fast it made my head spin. Then a game of catch your own puppy tail. So pleased to be home I tore up a chunk of grass to eat and found a daisy head that must have popped up overnight. Oh I love my house.

After my puppy meal I just curled up happy to be home and went sleep.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Good Puppy Day

As you can see I am still back on the puppy lead, great, at least the sun was shining today. They say I have to learn how to behave around other people, huh, help, all too much these lessons. I need to run.
But I have strange news for you, I haven't done anything wrong all day.
My family just gave me a treat and told me what a good puppydog I am. Wow. Gosh. Amazing.
Does it mean I'm growing up if I didn't even realise I was being good?
I had two puppy walks this morning maybe that was the plan, tire me out!
We went out as usual and then one of my family actually said they wanted some exercise so they took me to the local park.
So yes I have been taking a few puppy naps.
Mind you I got into trouble last night, I'm getting bigger and I can just reach the tops in the kitchen if anything is left on the edge. Well I jumped up and down fell this packet of crisps, they were nice.
But today, mailman came early, lost out there. Everybody watching their breakfast too much, not a look in. Nothing left out, no magazines, nothing to 'nick'. No shoes around, no socks. This house is beginning to get quite boring, they have got too much time on their hands. If they really think they can stay one step ahead of this 'super puppy' every day, well I'd like to see them try. I haven't even seen that stupid cat from next door since the other day, well he got the message.
Just remembered no-one appears to have seen the hole I'm working on in the garden, when I first started and it looked quite impressive I thought, gonna be in trouble now, but not yet and its getting deeper!
I met some children from the neighborhood today, they came into the garden to play, that helps to keep me busy too.
Yes I've had a very nice day and I've been so good, it's boring really, wonder what I can do tomorrow see you then..............
