Mamaw thinks I’m growing too fast! I need a lot of rest during the day but when I’m not resting I find myself getting kinda naughty. I don’t start out to be that way, I just try to play but before I know it, I am biting and growling. Sometimes when I do that, they knock me down and hold on to me tightly until I go completely limp. The book says that is how to get rid of the aggression. I don’t like it!

This morning our walk was a LONG WALK! They made me walk all the way around the circle. I’m doing much better but from time to time I whine to see if they will pick me up. Of course she wouldn’t this morning; I had to walk the whole way. She wanted me to go in through the garage but when I got to the open doorway, I refused. There’s just something about that noise when the door goes up that scares me to death. Mamaw did give in and carry into the house.

I get brushed every day. And Mamaw wipes my privates after I’ve been outside so I won’t get an infection. I’m sort of tired of all that stuff but she absolutely insists it must be done her way. After all, Mother knows best.

I was a good girl longer into the evening than I have been in the past. Mamaw and Poppy are fed up with the biting and growling so they kept me busy until 8:30. I was really working hard at being good when the Devil came along and made me do it. Curtains for me—kennel for the night.
