Lots of changes

Its been a while

since I have updated my diary. Things are still going good for me. I still miss both my sisters. Mom says, I am getting a bit gray, even though, I am only 8 yrs old. Mom has a great grandbaby here a lot, and he is sure a lot of fun. I even let him sit on my back, even though, he is getting a bit heavy lately. I love to play with him though, and the crumbs he leaves behind, I do manage to find.

My diet has gone pretty well, and mom and dad say, I look great. I like that, but I am not so sure, that I am happy about the fact, that I heard her tell my dad, that I am probably going to get a bath tonight. Since mom forgot I was outside and I got into the rain a day ago, for about 10 minutes, I thought maybe they would forget that it was time for a bath.

Guess, I am going to go underneath the table and take a nap.

I have been a bit upset lately

There have been a lot of changes in my life and the last few weeks have added a lot of stress, but I think I am now back to normal again.

A couple years ago, my big sister Keisha got very sick, and left the house and never came home. I missed her terribly. In April, my sister Hannah, got really sick, and mom and dad kept taking her to the vet, and sometimes they would have to leave her there overnight. A couple weeks after that, mom got up in the morning and came to put us outside, and she got really upset. I was the only one that went outside, and no one came to let me back in from my dog run. Finally, mom came to the door and called me, and she had been crying. They said I would have a late breakfast, and put me in my crate and then they left. I noticed Hannah was not there too. When mom and dad came back, Hannah didnt come with them. I was so very sad and made myself sick, so mom and dad had to take me to the vet. The vet, said there was nothing physically wrong with me, but I stayed sick for 2 weeks, cuz I was missing Hannah so badly. Finally, I felt ok again, and then all of a sudden these strange people came to my house, and pretty soon, mom started packing everything up. She said the house was sold, and we were moving. They brought me to a new house, but there was no dog run for me, and I was so upset, I wouldnt go to the bathroom at that new house, so mom brought me back to old house for almost a week, and let me in the dog run while she was cleaning and scrubbing everything. One day, when we got home, there was a brand new dog run all built, almost like my old one. It made me much happier, and I am finally adjusting to everything being a bit different. I just wish mom had left the carpet on the floor in the den, cuz I slip all over the new floor, even though, mom and dad keep telling me, I shouldnt be, cuz it is slip resistant. I heard her say when winter comes, she might put down a big area rug, and I think I would really like that. I am happy again now, but I still wish my sisters were here to live in this new house with me.
