Reno: As Hot as a Jalepeño

Wow! It's been a long time!

Like the title says, it has been AGES since I've posted a blog on Dogster! I'm sorry! A lot has happened. I'm not sure what I said last time, but I graduated Intermediate Obedience at PetSmart... and I haven't been able to take Advanced Obedience yet because Kristen and Christopher are short on the cash. The three of us moved to an apartment last month.

The apartment is interesting. There are so many dogs walking around and a lot of them have people too. I don't want any dogs taking my space, so I bark at them a lot. I've noticed that most people think I'm being vicious and I'll bite, but I'm just excited and I don't know what to do when I see dogs! I want to be their friend, but I want them to stay away at the same time!

Kristen and Christopher bought a rat, too... At least, I think that's what they say it is. I don't know, but it looks awfully tasty... and I get scolded every time I try to get closer.

I chewed on a few of Kristen's things this past week and she is not very happy with me. She says I owe her a lot of money for chewing up her sunglasses and headphones... I didn't know what they were or how much they cost... I just knew they made my mouth feel good.

Kristen says I should know better, since I am two years old now... but she also blames herself and her parents because before we moved, I didn't get enough discipline or something. I don't know...

My food got switched too! I eat something called Innova now... and OH MY DOG! It is the best stuff ever. I clean my dish right away and then lick it clean... it is soooooooo good.

I'm going to go stare out the window now. Woof!

Brrrrritos!

It has turned cold outside! Kristen (calling her Mom feels uncomfortable) says that she wants to buy a blanket and a sweater for me so I will stay warm this winter... She thinks it's going to get REALLY cold. If she's right, my little tail will freeze! I don't want to be a Renocicle.

I'm still in intermediate obedience and I'm having just as much fun as ever! I learned a few new things in class and Kristen taught me shake (or paw). I like to be a good pup, but it's so hard. Kristen is very busy this month working two jobs, so I don't really get to see her all that much anymore. Sometimes she doesn't come home for days at a time.

I miss her... :(

I've been jumping on the table and destroying things in protest... I also run out the door to try and convince her to take me with her. She just ends up saying, "You're in trouble, Mister" and then puts me inside.

I need more walks and lots of love! Kristen's parents just don't do it right... and they won't walk me.

Bow wow, it's been a long time.

I have been so busy trying to be a good pup that I have neglected my diary! Well, I graduated from Beginner Obedience today. The pictures will be on my page soon. I get to take Intermediate in a few weeks. My trainer calls Kristen my mom, so I think I'll just start calling her that too. I mean, she DOES care for me. She doesn't like how her parents care for me, though. She thinks they mess up everything I've learned.

I don't know, though. I think I just like to be bad sometimes.

Today I ran out the door a couple of times when Mom (there, I said it... It feels really weird, though. I wonder if she likes it...). I thought they would take me with them if I ran out! I ended up getting put back inside both times. They seemed really scared because cars kept coming by.

Oh, well. It was at least fun to scare them... I just wish they wouldn't leave me all the time.
