Secret

Well , my secret's out. Mom thought I was just tolerating Princess but a couple of weeks ago she found us on MY couch together in the middle of the night . Ok, I am starting to like the little pest. ( But dont spread it around.)

making princess disappear

I learned a really neat trick since Princess has been here. I can make her disappear. All I have to do is turn my back and voila I am an only dog again. I also made her get off of dad by going to get the kong and making it bounce. She jumped down to get it and I jumped up . Mommy thought I was a very clever dog.

adjusting

Well, I am finally getting used to having a sister. I am playing very nicely with her ( most of the time bol) . Mom makes sure I have alone time. I sleep in the living room and Princess sleeps in the hall. Mom makes sure we are seperated when no one is home because she noticed that Princess likes to torment me sometimes ( what are little sisters for?)

I now have a sister!

This is really neat... mom was reading my dairy entries and realized that it was almost 3 years ago exactly that I mentioned I knew she was thinking about getting me a sister. And guess what! I got one on Monday Jan 5 2009. I am somewhat jealous but I think she might be alright once I get used to her. For now I am tolerating her anyway. She is a chihauhau. ( Mom NEVER thought she would get one of those) Her arrival story will be on her own page soon.

update

Wow, I didnt realize i hadnt written here in so long. I had another trip to the groomer last week and she put a scarf on me. Mom was surprised I left it on. Life has been pretty good around here. I eat well , get my walks, go to the groomer once in awhile. The only sad thing is Spot the ancient cat is gone to rainbow bridge. She used to wait for us to come back from our walk. It is strange not to see her anymore. Other than that life is good. Hope everyone has happy holdiays and a wonderful New Year.

a new adventure

Well, there are a couple of new things here. Mom and Dad got a car , which they haven't had since they got me. I get nervous and excited at the same time in it. Yesterday dad brought me to the groomer. I got a bath, my nails cut and mom thinks they shaved me. I have hardly any fur left! It feels good though, and they tell me I will leave less fur tumbleweeds for them to vaccuum. The groomer told dad I did good except for the bath. Maybe next time I won't be as scared and it will go better. Mom and Dad always have new experiences for me!

finding family

I am so excited! Mom came home from work a couple of days ago and told me that she found one of my littermates! It was quite a coincidence, Mom saw this dog that looked alot like me and asked the dogs dad where he got me, when he told her, she knew he was my brother, his name is Nicky! Now mom knows that I had 5 brothers (4 black like me and 1 brown) and I was the one with the longest tail. She told me that my brother has purple spots on his tongue and white hairs on his chest , just like I do. His owner also told Mom he is very smart and friendly and loves kids (just like me too). Maybe I can go and visit him someday.

new year

I hope every one had a great christmas and will have a wonderful new year. I started a dogster group ( black dogs) I am soo excited. Oh yeah mom helped a bit. My mom suspects I can read her mind, which I can. She has been thinking about getting me a sister later on. I think I might like that. She also thinks that its going to take some talking to convince dad ( I think she is right) and that is not the right time just yet, but someday I hope! For now its just me , the humans , the ancient cat and the bird (I think she would make a lovely snack yum). I don't mind being a spoiled only dog for now.

hurricanes

Well, life has been good here in Canada, but mom looks at the pictures on the computer of the dogs and cats that were left behind in Katrina and cries. she is so sad and hugs me soooo tight. She says she hopes she would never be in the position to have to leave me like some of their owners had to. She also feels helpless because she doesnt have any money to send to help and lives too far away to volunteer. I am so grateful to have my mom and dad and they are too to have me. My doggie prayers go out to those animals suffering from katrina.

life is back to normal

Well, I havent written in my dairy because I have been too busy having fun. I went to get my stitches out on Monday, that was such a relief. Mom wasnt too happy with me cause I was so stressed out that I did my business on the vets floor. She was pretty embarrased about that! We started going for walks again and I am so happy! Life is good again.
