Oh Lord, it is really raining today! I don’t even want to go out to go potty. It is a real tug of war – Mamaw ends up picking me up and placing me in my “special” area. They’ve made up their minds that I am to have professional training. Mamaw says I just wear her out and she is beginning to resent me a little bit. I’m so sad about that because she has always been saying Mother knows best. Somehow we are off on the wrong foot. Incidentally, I am 12 weeks old today. The trainer’s name is Deb Boswell with Bark Busters. This organization began 20 years ago in Australia and has grown into the US. The trainer comes right to your home and works with the family and the dog. They have set an appointment for 1:00 p.m. October 30th. If I want to really show them who the boss is for now, I’d better get super busy showing them! I’m afraid this lady trainer is going to come and change my whole world as I currently know it…

I’ve spent a lot of time in the kennel today—due to the weather AND biting. Mamaw went out with her friend, Sue, to a jewelry party (I hope she buys some I like chewing on) and then they went for a sandwich. I was kenneled the longest today—3 ½ hours. I did okay but I was glad to see her get home. I needed the potty! We played and rested and waited for Poppy to get home from his work at the Army Guard.  He's been out checking their eyes cause the Government says they are going to be deployed to Iraq.
