The Misadventures of Jack Daniels

We're Moving!

My mom got a new job, so we have to move. I have to admit I was a little worried when I saw her packing stuff up in boxes, but then she explained that she was packing stuff to take WITH us. So, when I was finished chewing on my bone, I decided to bury it in one of the boxes to keep it safe, but mom just laughed and took it out! I hope our new place is as nice as this one - I'm excited, except that mom bought me some bellybands to make sure I don't mark at my new place.....now why would I do that?????? She must still be mad about that SUV........

What Did I Do to Deserve This????????

Oh Boy, am I starting the New Year off on the WRONG PAW! Now, I know my manners aren't perfect, but cuteness will make up for that, right? WRONG! I found out today that my Mom has signed me up for - you guessed it - Obedience School (sigh). I'm a good boy, really I am, just a little "ruff" around the edges. After all, I'm only a year old, for goodness sake! I have no idea what all the fuss is about! The day started the same as usual, we got up, Mom put in her contact lenses, and I waited patiently by the bathroom door for her to finish up, so that we could go potty outside. Well, we get outside, and I marked my usual bush, the tree, and a pile of leaves, when LO AND BEHOLD, there is a new SUV parked in the parking lot of our apartment complex! Now I'm really interested, but I don't let Mom know that. As we walk past it, my kid sister Midori is afraid, because it is a big new thing, and she is a little scared puppymill girl, so while Mom is busy trying to get her to walk past it, I lift my leg to mark it as mine while she's not looking. BIG MISTAKE! I must have bumped it with my leg, because all of a sudden there is theis REALLY LOUD siren noise, and it's lights start flashing. Mom turns around and I am sooooooo BUSTED! And to make things worse, Midori and I both tried to run in different directons. It was a really loud and scary noise, and I've learned my lesson (for now). My Mom was soooo upset, because it scared her, too, and was muttering something about a last straw. So now it's off to manners school for me. Really, Mom, I just thought it was so cool, I had to make it mine. I am a boy dog, after all......
