Philadelphia, here I come!

Moving again

Its funny, I started my Dogster page right before I moved to Philadelphia. Now I am moving again. I can tell because Mom and Dad keep putting stuff in boxes. For the past two nights we've all slept in the living room because Dad took apart the bed. It was kind of fun because the couch is easier to get on and off than the bed.

Penny and I got new tags today. Mom put them on us and took the old ones off. Mine is blue with a bone. Now when I shake my head I make a different noise. It's a little disconcerting.

I got to see the new house last month. I'm really happy because the windows are close enough to the floor that I can see out really easily.

The next time I write, I'll be in the new house!

Introducing the New, Improved, Mellow Snoopy!

Last month mom and dad took me to the vet school because they were worried about my behavior. We spent the whole day with a team of veterinary behaviorists. They were really nice. They spent a lot of time just watching me. Then, they played games with treats! They taught mom and dad the games, too. We have been playing the games at home all the time! That means I get lots of treats. I also get treats in the elevator ALL THE TIME! All I have to do to get one is make eye contact with mom or dad. The doctors also gave me a medicine to help me be less scared. I take it every day. I am definitely starting to see results. I'm not so scared of everything anymore.

Today was a big test for me because I had to go to the groomer. I'm always scared of the groomer because I just really don't like to be touched by people I don't know. But today was different. I only got a little nervous, and that was only when she touched my paws. When mom and dad came to pick me up, they were surprised that I wasn't barking! I was just sitting there relaxing, waiting for them.

I am really glad I got to go to the behaviorists. They taught mom and dad how to do things that make me less scared. My life is getting a lot better :)

SNOW!

It snowed today! Yippee! I ran around in it, ate it, and caught snowballs in my mouth! I even rolled on my back and wiggled in it! I love snow!
