My Life With Gerdie!!

Long time without letting you know what I am thinking!!

Okay so Mommy has been majorly slacking. Mainly cause she started working, so what did I do......... I started acted up, duh!! First I learned I could jump over the fence. Nothing would stop me, Mommy and Daddy would try to "interupt" my behavior, I even got spanked. It finally took them putting up a hot wire and me hitting it several times before I finally stopped jumping the fence.
That's when I learned to climb trees. Mommy and Daddy didn't like that either and chopped off all the low branches. And they put in a new higher fence.
So now I am digging holes right and left to go see my boyfriend Buster.

I also started doing some doggy obedience training. That's when Mommy and Daddy finally figured out that I do not have all my hearing.
I love my trainer lady, Nancy. She's with Barkbusters. She is so super-duper cool, cause she trains me in my house. She teach Mommy and Daddy how to act with me in my own language though. I am not sure I like that. But me and Mommy get along so much better now. She says its because she sees how cute I am now that I behave like a little lady and not like a heathen. I know sit, stay, and how to walk properly on my leash. I am still working on shake and "verbal recall" whatever that means. Nancy thinks I am so very cute and doesn't understand how anyone could ever be mad with me, she says I am the sweetest little thing. Mommy and Daddy say its because she doesn't live with me and that me pulling on Nancy's heartstrings is further proof I am the spawn of Satan. Nancy says I am not defiant just too happy go lucky!! I like Nancy she takes my side!!
This past weekend Aunt Melissa entered me in the Howl-O-Ween contest at Pet-co. I lost. But I don't care, how often do I spend the entire day at the pet store with my bestest most favoritest aunt in the whole wide world. She buys me lots and lots of loud annoying toys and then laughs when I go running through the house with them. She keeps telling me that she will buy me doggie drums for Christmas. I know she will do cause I am her favorite. She told me so herself.
We went trick or treating the other night. Me, sissy and Sugar got quite a nice little haul too, including doggie biscuits, scooby snacks, chicken nuggets, and vienna sausages!! Yummy those are my favorites!!! The neighbors next door feed them to me when Mommy and Daddy are gone. SSSHHHHH its a secret.

Me, sissy, Mommy and Daddy are going to meet Nancy at the dog park on Sunday!! I am so excited- I can barely wait. I have never been before, Mommy says she never has trusted us to behave before, but if Nancy says we are ready. Mommy says she still a little worried cause we haven't been able to practice much this week. Mommy's been real sick! But I will let you know.

BUSY BUSY DAY

Today I went to PetCo and PetSmart for the very first time!! Mommy says me and Gerdie were a handful without Daddy!! I am smarter than Gerdie, cause she just jumps in the truck and I make Mommy pick me up! Who is the smart one now!!! I told all the pups I saw about Dogster!! Told to join up and look me up! I wonder how many friends I will get!! Doesn't matter.
Mommy got me my own toy- a KONG!! Gerdie doesnt even have a kong. HEHEHE - WHO DOES MOMMY LOVE MORE NOW!!!
All the people there gave me treats and just had to pet me!! I felt so pretty cause they told me so! A couple of them laughed at my sissys curly tail but Mommy told them its just the Basenji in her.
Early today we went on our normal walk- but all of Gerdies friends were home. SO we ended up visiting with them. It just bores me to death. Flamingo Lady didn't like me laying in her flower beds either. They were soft and cool- and it was hot. Jake- Flamingo Lady's Grandson likes me better than Gerdie. While G-thing was visiting he was running me around the yard. OOPS he accidently let go of my leash and I was off and running. Mommy caught me pretty quick though. But at least he let to finish making the yards. My sister is too socialable. A three block walk takes 3 hours with her. Mommy says I need to learn patience. Yeah right- I dont even know what that word means.

I'M SO PRETTY

I feel so pretty today! I got a rosette from Miss Gertie. Not my sissy, Gerdie, but GerTie. YOu see the difference- GerTie gave a rosette to Gerdie as well. Gerdie got three new toys this week, that she just drools over- Dollie- I think is the name. SHe is super excited about them- but like all good sissy's - she shares her toys with me.
