Mamaw was worried about me this morning – 7:30 and I wasn’t up yet. She carried my kennel, with me in it, to the living room so I would wake up. I slept all night again! They are very impressed with that, I can assure you. I feel pretty comfortable in the house but the OUTSIDE noises are bothering me. I don’t want to go outside even when I have to potty but Mamaw picks me up and makes me go out. Today for the first time, I barked at her and growled a little too—it didn’t get me my way though. I want to get back as soon as possible too.


Today she put me in my kennel and set it on the couch. She wanted to run the vacuum cleaner (I heard it the other day but Poppy was holding me and was offering his support). I cried a little while she got her rugs cleaned but she just ignored me. I’m afraid that means I’d better just get used to it!

And now every time I go outside to “pee”, Mamaw brings me in the house and cleans my crotch—I hate that! I guess it has to do with the little infection I have. She wants to get it cleared up so I don’t have to go back to the vet tomorrow.

I love to chew on things….Mamaw’s toe nails are so pretty, every chance I get I go after them. She hates to wear shoes in the house but if she doesn’t cover them up, I figure they are fair game. I like to nip and bite too but I catch the devil for that. I keep trying—they keep correcting so I’m not sure who is going to win the war. I do know that twice yesterday I had to spend 10 minutes in the kennel for correction. How do I know it was for correction? Because THEY ignored me for the whole time.

I’m so busy investigating my surroundings that I saw something new for the first time today. A big rectangle and pictures are constantly changing! It is on all day long (Mamaw says that is for noise) and sometimes she sits and looks at it for a long time.
