Ouch

I had to go to the hospital. My brother and I were racing around the living room, and I hurt my leg. I don't know what I did to it, but it really hurt, and I started screaming. Mom and Dad came running, but I still wouldn't stop screaming. Then I limped over to them, because it hurt to use my front leg, and then collapsed on the floor. Mom and Dad got scared and carried me into the car. I didn't have to go in the kennel this time. Mom sat in the backseat with me and held me, which was nice because I didn't want to be alone.
The doctor at the hospital was so nice. I was trying to tell her what happened, but I don't think she understood "dog" too well. She took me in the back, and they took lots of pictures of my shoulder. Then they gave me a shot that made me very sleepy, but I didn't feel the pain, so that was good. Then Mommy and Daddy took me home. I was afraid that my brother would want to play, but he was really good. I hope that the pain goes away soon. I want to jump around like normal!

I don't know why everybody thinks we are trouble. We just want to love everybody! Our uncle Tommy came over, and we really wanted to play with him, but he is just too tall! So we decided to get him down on the ground so we could play with him. My brother and I teamed up to trip him, and when he fell, we jumped on him and licked his face. He got scared and thought we were attacking him, but all we wanted to do was say hi! Mom and Dad told us we had to play gentle after that, but I think it's ok because uncle Tommy was laughing. I hope our humans learn our language faster!

New Home

I'm finally settling in to my new home. My new Mommy and Daddy came to pick my brother and I up from our house in Wisconsin. We had a long car ride back to Illinois, but I got to play with my brother in the car. We made a lot of noise, but then that wasn't fun anymore, so we just enjoyed the scenery. Every time we made a stop on the ride home, people would come up to us and pet us and tell us how cute we are!
When we arrived at our new home, we found all the wonderful ways we could get into trouble. Mom and Dad soon took some of those away from us, but we still have our secret ways to do it. Mom and Dad don't seem to happy when that happens though. We quickly found our favorite spots to sleep and to play.
When it was time for Mom and Dad to sleep, we didn't want to sleep too much, so we made a lot of noise. That way, Mom and Dad got to stay up with us all night. We would have missed them too much if they slept.
The next day we met a lot of new people! Everybody played with us and pet us and made lots of funny baby noises at us. I think it will be fun to be here.
