Well, it's been quite a year. I have been with my family for 2 years now and my life has been amazing. I even got to go to restaurant for breakfast! Our waitress brought me a piece of bacon, just for me!
Then, in October, I got the biggest surprise...a brother!
We were having lots of terrible fires and smoky days but mom and dad just loaded me into the backseat and we drove up to Los Angeles. I had no idea where we were going. When I finally got to get out of the truck, there was this skinny, shy red haired Golden named Nick! He smelled OK so we took him home. I pretty much barked at him all the way down I-15 but he seemed alright with that. I showed him around the yard and he took my toys but he was very sweet. We had lots of growling and showing "teefers" that first week and he gave me his kennel cough so I got sick.
But we are great pals now. We share space on the bed with mom and dad and we share our toys. He is teaching me how to play tug toy!
I love my new brother and I hope 2008 is a good year for us and for all my Dogster family.
Update May 7. Nick is turning out to be a great pal. We have truly become a pack. We take turns watching our fence line for anyone, dog, bird, truck, car passing back.Then we bark our heads off and race up and down the hill. We spend many hours lying by each other on the warm concrete in the sun and on the couch in the living room! We have recently started wrestling with each other. It's so much fun. I like to nip at Nick's ears and he puts my head in his mouth. Mom calls it "soft bitey". I try to dominate him but I have to admit, he has pinned me a few times! He lets me be the alpha, but only for so long!
I have lost weight since Nick got here. When we go to the park I run after him. And run and run and run. I never really did that before.
So the first half of 2008 was been wonderful!
OK, I have been tagged so many times I am just doing one diary entry.
7 pawsome facts about me:
1. The Golden Rescue Group that pulled me from the shelter named me "Monique".
2. I lived in Hollywood with 3 cats in my foster home.
3. I spin and jump in a circle when I am getting a kong.
4. The only food I EVER spit out is string beans!.
5. I could make tacos if I could reach the stove.
6. I ride in my crate in the back seat of the truck because I get too excited!!
7. I get jelly beans at bedtime...and I burp exactly 2 minutes after eating or drinking.
I realized today that I have not posted a diary lately!! I guess I have been just too busy. You know, going to the park, eating, napping, playing...all the important things in my life!
Right now I am on pool watch. I am waiting for the water to get warm enough to swim. It's almost there. We have had beautiful sunny weather lately and more to come this week. It's actually hot. Mom says that helps her feel better about paying $3.50 for a gallon of gas...at least the weather is nice and we can hang out in the backyard because we can't afford to drive anywhere!!!
That's fine by me..
