Dear Diary,

I'm still feeling a little ill. But on the upside I am doing better than before! I am still lazy and I go to the bathroom inside the house still a bit, I can't control it and I am still on the diet. I am not lethargic anymore or anything and I am a little more perky than before! Of course, I have to be since it is my sister's birthday!! Well, we aren't sure if it's her real birthday, but the lady we adopted her from said it was around today.
Momsie bought her a cake with treats surrounding the edges-- and don't worry-- It was vanilla cake! Not chocolate! Elina told me it was the best birthday ever. I kind of got jealous though. Seeing as though I never have had a birthday, I don't get why SHE got toys and treats and I didn't! Anyways, Momsie says she has to share with me or neither of us won't be able to have them! Oh well, I got cake! The cake was very yummy, and Momsie gave us each two slices. But it was one of those mini cakes, so the slices weren't that big. We also each got a spoonful of ice cream! It may not sound like a lot to you, but for small dogs like us, thats a lot! I'm so very excited!

Wanna know what Elina got? Here's the list:

A sqeaky meat toy (Pop agreed to get ONE more sqeaky toy!)
Rawhides
A New Outfit (Pictures on her page)
more treats
A Froggy Stuffed animal
A rubber stick (it actually looks like a stick!)
A placemat
Food and Water dishes
And last but not least,
A new collar!

Momsie says she is a spoiled doggy! I want to be a spoiled doggy! Oh wait, I was just reassured that i am a spoiled and LOVED pup! I am so glad I have such a great family.
I am cuddled up right now on our porch, while Momsie is at the computer watching TV. I am lieing in the sun. Its really warm out here, compared to yesterday, when there was a thunderstorm!! Oh and about the thunderstorm... It was my first thunderstorm EVER! I started barking once because there was a thunderblast that shook the WHOLE HOUSE!! I got scared and Momsie laughed. She took me in her arms and cuddled me. Elina was really scared! Momsie and I got really worried. She got crouched underneath a table and shook. I felt really bad. Then Momsie got her and we both snuggled on each side of Momsie. I am sure momsie felt loved! But it was scary! There were big flashes of light outside! I didn't know whether it was day or night! But I did feel comfortable snuggled up with Momsie!
Well today, Momsie found a new summer job! She is going to be playing in a local orchestra for a play that's going on. She plays the flute and she was practicing and I came over and started "singing"! Momsie kept playing and I kept singing. Finally, Momsie had to stop because she was laughing so hard. Now she thinks we can mae millions an dmake our own record deal! I agree, but I would spend all the money on getting toys and junk for me and Elina and all the helpless puppies in the world! I would also donate it to assosiations that save puppies like Elina! Well, I think I hear a yogurt cup getting opened, so I'll bark at you all later!

WOOOOOOOF!!

Dear Diary,

Momsie stayed home ALL day today! She must love me. She said her "work is over until August, and that she is staying with me and Elina until then! I am so happy. I also am happy momsie stayed home with me today, because I wasn't feeling good. See, I am going to the bathroom in the house, and when I went poop, momsie was cleaning it up and it had blood stains on it. Then Momsie got me clean water adn I drank it. Then I spit it back up with little chunks of food in it. I won't play and I won't get up when momsie says "treat" which i alwasys do. Whenever momsie touches my tummy I growl and bite her. Not like a puppy bite, but like why are you hurting me bite. Momsie says we can't afford to go to the vets until momsie's pay check arrives, and my momsie's pay check is coming on Friday. If it gets really bad, we can definetly manage to pay, but we can't just waste our money. So I am not feeling too good. This started at about 4:00 Eastern Time. The rest of the day I played happily with Elina and Momsie, Pop had to work the whole day. He says his work isn't as nice as Momsie's work, and he has to work all summer. He says they do allow him to take 4 weeks off every year, which means 28 days. I think Pop should transfer to Momsie's work, because then he could play with us ALL summer!! I would like that. Pop is better at throwing and playing "fetch" than Momsie is. That's cause Momsie is more afraid of breaking things than Pop is. Sometimes Momsie gets mad because he will throw it too hard or something.
Wanna know something funny me and Elina did today? Well, Momsie threw a stick outside and I went and chased it and got it before Elina did. Then I gave it to her and she went running to Momsie with it. Then Momsie took it and threw it. I was still out where she had thrown it before. Momsie threw the stick to a spot somewhere around where I was sitting waiting for it to be thrown. I went to get it (it was about three yards away) . I put it in my mouth and Elina came running over to me and grabbed the stick from my mouth and I let her. Then she brought it back to momsie. Momsie said it kind of looked like "fetch assembly line'. She said it was cool and we were really smart dogs. She said she could have sworn we smiled at her. SHE WAS RIGHT!! Of course we smiled! I love my Momsie.
Right now me and Momsie are snuggling. She is trying to make me feel better. She says I am a lot more snuggly than usual, but it makes her feel loved when I snuggle with her. She says at 6:30 (in 15 minutes) she is going to feed me cottage cheese. I have never tried it before. Momsie says she thinks it tastes gross, but I'm a dog. We think NOTHING tastes gross! Well, I will bark at you later! Momsie says a thunderstorm is headed our way. She doesn't like me on the computer when a thunder/lightning storm is here, so I will bark at you tomorrow!

RUFF!!!!! RUFF!!!!

Dear Diary,

Guess What!! My momsie is home for the summer! Her work sent everyone home early on the last day until next September. She is so excited. She said she may have to go to a meeting tommorrow, but she isn't sure. She is going to have to wait for the emai lfrom her work. I am so excited. It was a big surprise. I heard her car roll into the driveway, but I didn't think it was her because it was WAY to early for her to be home. Then she cam in the door. I think Elina knew who it was because she started jumping up and down in her pen. It was cool. Momsie opened the door to the room that we were in, but I was still lieing down. I was kind of unsure and sleepy because it is my sleep time at this time of the day when momsie is at home. I've never had a summer vacation with momsie because I wasn't born! SO I am so excited because Momsie said that she is taking me on a trip where there is beaches and roads and walking dog places where I can walk. I can't wait! She said beaches are really fun and sandy and the sand feels good between her toes. I don't have any toes, but I am dieing to feel it! Momsie says we are leaving in two weeks. I forget where we are going, though, but I do know it is in Massachussetts. Isn't that awesome! I am going to meet other dogs and cats. Momsie is kind of afraid because she doesn't know whether I will act good around them or not. She says they will hiss at me and bite me if I get to close to them and torment them, but I say why be afraid of a little cat.. Right? I will bite 'em back! Grr! Hehe. I can't wait. I am really tired though, so I think I am going to go nap with Elina for a bit. I will right later... ZZZzzzz...

GARROOF! GAROOF!!

Dear Diary,

Sorry I didn't get to write yesterday! See momsie was playing with me yesterday and then she called a friend to ask if they were going to the cook-out party for her club. Then her friend invited her over because, even though momsie is 24, she goes over to friends houses. Then they hung out while I was all alone and snuggled down to watch Oliver and Company. Then at four o' clock she went to the cook-out party she was talking about. She told me she was gonig to socialize... Not that I know what that is, though! Momsie was at the party till ten o' clock. She said that her friend and her friends boyfriend had a big fight and broke up. She is kind of sad about that because they were so happy together. When she came home with Pop, he was carrying her in. I don't know why. Momsie sais it was because she hurt her knee by running, and she had hurt it in Florida too. But thankfully today she is perfectly fine. But I am not allowed to go on the computer while Momsie or Pop isn't home, so I couldn't write yesterday. But I did have a good rest day!

Today, momsie woke up early, about two hours after Pop left. SHe put on my movie, so I knew she was leaving. She said she was going to buy me more toys and rwahides (which I love!) and she'd be back within that hour. It didn't work the way she planned it... This is because when she came back, which was way more than an hour later, she brought home a sister for me! What a good momsie! How did she know I was getting jealous of all the other people who have dogs that play with each other. The way momsie told me it happened was like this:

Well, on this morning of June 18, 2006, I was walking to the pet store to get Wilbur a few toys and food. Wilbur was at home, sleeping on his bed. I went out at 9 in the morning. Anyways, I took a wrong turn three blocks away from my house. It was a beautiful morning and I wasn't paying any attention to road signs or anything. I was supposed to turn 5 blocks away to get to the pet store, but I turned on three. I walked about 300 feet down the road. The scenery wasn't the same. I kept walking, even though I knew I was absolutely lost. I figured if I kept walking, I would come to the other side of the street, and figure out where I was. I heard a bunch of dogs yelping as I came closer. To my surprise, there was a shelter for abused dogs, I never even knew about. It was in a run down street of Boston that I don't think anyone knew about. I went in and saw a lady, who asked me what I wanted. I said I think I was lost. The lady shouted, "Well of course you are! All the rich people live that way!" amd she pointed to the direction I cam from. I snapped back at her, " There's no need to yell!" and turned around and stomped out the door... well almost. It caught my eye so quickly I could've sworn I fainted. It was almost the exact replica of Wilbur. I went over to the cage and pet the pup. The old lady came up from behind me and spoke in a soft voice. "This is Elina. She was tortured badly in her old home. She doesn't have any visible scars anymore on the outside, but she sure does on the inside". I almost started crying. I wanted her. The lady told me it would be 900 dollars, because she has all her shots and just got surgery. I called my boyfriend (Wilburs Pop) and asked him if it would be fine. He said he had no major problems with that. I said alright and pulled out my check book. I asked if there were any papers and she said no. I said alright, and signed a check to her. I walked out with a leash and everything. She had a red halter on but it was old and ugly. I took her to the vet that Wilbur goes to, in case there were any diseases she had or anything, so Wilbur wouldn't catch anything if she did. Thankfully, there was nothing they could find, which is good, because I don't know what I would do with her if she did. After the vet (which costed us a BUNCH more money) I took her to the pet store. I bought her a new red halter, which looked a lot like Wilbur's, and we went home. All the way on the walk home she was in my arms with her head on my shoulder. I felt so loved. She was adorable. I didn't care for the name Elina, but I didn't want to rename her, so I kept her name.

I, personally, like the name Elina, but momsie doesn't care for it. She doesn't want to go searching for more names. So she just kept the name. She is very tired, but I want to play. Momsie locked me up while she slept because Momsie wanted Elina to love her new home. Still, momsie is afraid for my well being because she doesn't want me to get jealous and feel neglected from the family. So she still is playing with me. I'm happy. I got a momsie who loves me, and daddy who plays with me, and a new sister, who is awfully adorable... Like me! It's heaven! Lets just hope it works out in the long run. But I love my new sister!!

RUFF! RUFF!

Dear Diary,

Oh my! Momsie's still proud of me! She is so proud of me, we have moved on in my training! I'm so doggone happy! Now, all day Momsie's training me to wear my harness so we may be able to go on walks! She is getting me used to the leash and all. The only problem with me and the leash right now is I get all tangled up in the leash! Momsie laughs at me when I get tangled up and trip. She says I look so funny, I am cute! How can that be? Oh well, maybe I should laugh with her... But the last time I did that, I got yelled at for barking too much. Whoops!
Oh, I have more good news! Momsie was very proud of me because I didn't do a naughty in the house today! And momsie had an Orthopedist appointment for her knee (she says she is getting too old *she's 24* and her knee is giving out on her). She only hit it though! Anyways, and I was home alone in my room from 7:15 in the morning to 6:45 at night, and I didn't have an accident once! Momsie's happy because I am learning to control myself. Momsie says that's a sign of maturaty, but I don't like that because I like being a hyper little puppy. I'm good at being that! Trust me, Momsie knows! But she also says she wants me to have fun while I'm young because I'll mellow out as I get older, but I say, "Bye, Bye Momsie! I am going to Neverland so that I can NEVER grow up!" Momsie seems kind of unhappy because that would mean I'd never see her again, but she wants to meet Tinkerbell, so I can bring Tinkerbell back for her! I love Disney movies, they are my favorite. Momsie has them because she watches her friends little girl over the weekends when the little girl, Heidi, has to let her mom go to work. So we own a few disney movies, one of them being Peter Pan. I LOVE watching Disney movies. Sometimes, before Momsie goes to work, she puts in one of my favorite Disney movies, Oliver and Company, I lie down on my and watch it. It calms me down when I know my Momsie is leaving. See, I don't like to see her go, but she distracts me with Oliver and Company. Isn't that smart?!?

GRRRRRRROWL!!!! (a happy one)

June 15, 2006

Dear Diary,

Oh-no! I did an naughty again! Pop got mad because I pooped in the house. But what can I say? There's a big scary dog next door that chases me around my yard, and gets me scared to death! I think the owners (our new neighbors) really need to keep that dog on a leash. There are two new little rebels who live there, one in eighth grade and one in seventh. I hate them. One time, momsie got REALLY REALLY mad because the dog chased me and the neighbors' rebels came over and caught him. Then I picked up my dog. They started laughing! They thought it was the funniest thing in the world! Momsie held me so tight, I coulfn't breathe. I could tell she was FURIOUS! She's glad I'm alive. That dog was trying to nip at my tail, that's what mom saw. She says she isn't trying to beat up on the dogs, but the irrisponsible owners who don't keep it tied up in there yard. Now it's free to roam in my yard and chase me and make me scared.

On another note, I stayed in my crate again today! Momsie says she's getting prouder of me day by day! I'm so happy. I got kisses and hugs and belly rubs. It makes me feel special. Momsie says thats a good feeling to have! I got a treat, too! Speaking of treats, Momsie went to the store and bought me more treats today! She also decided to get me a new treat. She heard about it from a friend. I don't know what they are called, but they are kind of like ice cream cups, only for dogs. I haven't had one yet, but I am excited to try them!

The rest of my day I just ate and slept, and ate and slept. Pretty boring if you ask me, but nice and relaxing, too!



BARK! BARK!

June 14, 2006

Dear Diary,

Guess what! Momsie's proud of me because I didn't jump out of my crate for the past few days! She took me out for ice cream to celebrate... But I was only allowed to get a kiddy size instead of a small because I have been having a few "accidents" in the house, if you know what I mean. Momsie's not proud of me for that. She has to explain to Pop that it was her fault and make up a reason because she would rather have him mad at her than me. She is such a sweet momsie! Don't you agree?
Oh! have you looked at my pretty pictures? Mommy snapped the camera in my face for a long time. She said it was called a camera, but I don't know what that means. There was a huge flash of light on one of them and after she took it, I couldn't see and I ran into a table! It wasn't funny, but she started cracking up. When Pop got home from work, she told him the story, and he laughed, too. I felt left out, so I started laughing to. My mom yelled at me ( I am a huge barker and bark ALL the time) and told me to stop barking, but I wasn't barking! Humans REALLY need to learn the difference! Aroo!
Now, right this very instant, momsie is eating cheez- it's. I still don't understand (or don't like) the word no, so momsie gets mad because I keep stealing them from her. Whooops! But what can I say? I'm still a puppy at heart!

AROOOO!

June 11, 2006

Dear Diary,

Momsie was teaching me not to bite this morning... It didn't go too well. She is teaching me the word "kiss" so I will lick her, but why lick when you can bite? I mean, is she crazy!!??
On another note, I am so happy! Momsie just got back from Florida! Disney World to be exact. She was meeting her mom there because they were having a conference. Well, for work I mean. Can you beleive it?! They have conferences in DISNEY WORLD!!! Anyways, mom got me a food and water dish and on both of them it has Stitch, 3 dogs from 101 dalmations, pluto, tramp and lady from Lady and the Tramp. They are so awesome. But I feel bad for Momsie, because when she came back, she was limping. Well acctually she was on these things called... called.. oh umm crutches or something like that. She also had a brace on. I don't know why, but she would lock me in the other room if I jumped on it. Weird person, I'd say!! She also brought back three squeaky dog toys, all of mickey. One was Mickey Mouses glove/ hand, another was Mickey Mouse's yellow shoe, and the last one was Mickey Mouse's pants. Momsie got a little mad because I tore off and started chewing the top of mickey's finger, tore a hole in the pants (isn't that what a dog is for?) , and I am still working on the yellow shoe. It's hard cuz Momsie put it on top of the TV and I can't reach!! Poor me. Momsie says no more rubber squeaky toys for me until my sharp baby teeth fall out and my new ones grow in... and until I learn not to bite. Momsie says if anyone has a cure for my biting, to contact her. I hurt her a lot (WHOOPS!).
I am kind of nervous... This is my first day on dogster and I am pretty new to this, but I am having a pretty easy time of getting around. This diary thing is really cool. Momsie likes the idea a lot. She says this will be really good for me to express my doggie life. Momsie says I am a very lucky puppy.
Momsie gave me a haircut today. I would rather go to a doggie hairdresser but momsie says its too expensive. My ears look too big for my body, but thats ok. She did her best... I think.
What's that? Ohno, Momsie's getting me food, bark at you later!

WOOOOOOOOOOOF!!
