Notes as I grow and learn

Life is an adventure!

Hello everyone,

I have missed all my friends:) I hope everyone is doing well. Mom is going to order me some turtles to play with, my friend Camper told her were to get them a while ago and she finally had time to find them. I am excited. Thanks Camper, your the best.

So everyday has been a new adventure. I love soccer, football and running like crazy. (Mom says I have destroyed 11 soccerballs and footballs in a short time) I don't care if they are flat and ripped thay still are fun to play with:) I am digging huge holes still, ripping stuffed toys like crazy and can kill a tennis ball in 3 minutes flat. I am impressed with this time since it take Sundar a week.

We have walked at the park, went to the dog park, met new puppies and gotten to go on car rides. I found out what a funeral was, how to love humans that are very sad, learned new commands, discovered this thing called Easter and had my first birthday.

My 1 year birthday was March 25th. I got a new soccer ball, frosty paws, a long walk and a new crate. (I love my crate it has sooo much room) Sundar says I am 1 year wiser and he has decided that I am doing well. He is very wise and is much more tolerant of me licking his face constantly. He is also running around with me now which makes me excited.

As for Easter, we got cookies, a new toy and colored eggs. (Mom says we will never get eggs again, it gives us bad gas) I also got to meet a Easter bunny named George. Although he says he was not the Easter bunny he is just a bunny. I kept checking his butt for colored eggs, he got very annoyed with me. Mom said he was just a bunny that we were watching for a friend and he went home now. I was sad to see him go.

Mom and Dad said we might also get a new house. I have never lived anywhere but here and am a little nervous about going someplace else. Sundar says not to worry, he has moved 6 times in 9 years because mom and dad had to move every year when they were in college. He explained that this house would beours and not something mom and dad rent. Mom sasy it will have a big yard and ton more room for me to run. I have never had a big yard, so that makes me excited. A place to RUN!!!! Yah!! That is ssooo much fun. Sundar says we have never had a big yard so he is excited too. Mom asked that we only dig in one spot, that os course will be hard. This means we might move in May, if a termite inspetion goes well.

I have no idea what a termite is and Sundar can only say they are a bug. I do not know why we have to worry about bugs, I love to chase and eat them, so I can take care of these things called termites. Dad says they are not the same and I can not take care of them. I was just trying to help.

The bad things I still do is putting my paws on the counter, jumping up on people and barking at other dogs when I am on a leash. Mom says these are bad manners and I need to learn not to do them. She says the counter is off limits. She just does not understand the smells are sooo tempting. I also get soooo excited when new people come to visit, I just want to give them kiss. Mom says everyone does not want my kisses. The barking scares people at the park. I look like a crazy attack dog. The bad part is it only happens when I am on a leash. At the dog park I am everyone's friend. People think I will hurt their dog and never give me a chance to say hello. So mom does not know how to stop me from doing this. (If anyone has advice please help) I ust want to be everyones friend.

I hope all my friends are enjoying spring, flowers are neat. Stay healthy and happy.

Lots of kisses and barks hello, Mishka

Holes! Holes! Holes!

The snow is gone and I have discover that within 2 point 2 seconds I can dig a huge hole. YES!! I love the dirt. Mom fills them in and I dig them bigger and better than before. We have four huge craters in the middle of the yard. Mom has filled them in and I tried to tell her not to worry about it becuase I will just dig them again.

Mom is pondering why when she fills the holes in they are never completely full. It seems that some of the dirt disappears into thin air. Hee hee. She just does not know that is because I kick it so hard it sprinkles all over the yard and some always has to stick to my paws, face and belly. What fun! She really hates when she is ready for work and I give her a kiss goodbye. Yes muddy paws all down her clean work clothes. I think it is a fashion statement, she does not. I hear MISHKA OFF!! CRAZY Dog you know better. Then I feel bad because she is right I do know better. Tala says if I keep doing this mom will put me on a leash and not let me run in the yard un supervised. I think Tala just wants to scare me, well I hope she is trying to scare me. I like running around the yard free to play soccer and football.

I just can not help that I just love life,dirt, water, snow, rain and sun. It all makes me sooo happy. I am trying to teach mom and dad to live in the moment and enjoy each and everyday.

So to all my friend, enjoy every moment, live life to the fullest, beg for people food and get tons of kisses.

Sending everyone a wish for a wondeful week, Mishka

New and exciting things

Everything has been a new adventure.

Tala kept telling me about this stuff called snow. I finally have gotten to see it and enjoy it. I did not understand that when I caught this white stuff in my mouth it would disappear. I must have tried a dozen times to make it just stay in my mouth when I caught it. (I thought it would be like these white bugs that I catch and eat). I like eating, chasing and smashing bugs. I was just in complete shock that this stuff called snow did not taste like a bug.

So, then I ran around the yard scooping up big mouthfuls of this white stuff-it disappeared too. Mom and dad laughed at me and I would just look at them with my white beard and frozen whiskers. Since they laughed so hard, I kept playing this game for about a half an hour. Then I discovered my soccer ball was hidden under the snow. I dug it out and begged mom and dad to throw it.
(Mom has to take it away or I forget to go potty because all I can focus on is my soccer ball). Soccer is fun in the snow, the ball just slides across the ground for long distances.

Tala says I have a husky heart because I would spend hours with her playing in the snow. We even went to the dog park and played in the snow. Mom says that is why she got sick. (I made her promise to put the pictures on my web page soon).

Then I have learned about birthdays and this love holiday. We got ice cream and heart cookies. Mom even gave everyone a kiss and a hug to celebrate use being a part of her life. (although I think she forgot we get kisses everyday). Sundar told me he is now 1 year older and wiser than me. He says I will understand when I have my first birthday. I guess I have to agree with him because he is very smart and he always follows the rules. I often forget the rules and get myself into trouble.

I have also learned I love kitty poop. It tastes soo good. Mom is not happy. She tries to catch me when I sneak into the litter box (I am to smart for her, I hear her and lay in the sun, pretending I did not do anything wrong) She says the litter on my nose gives it away. Dad has gotten sneaky and caught me 2 times (I need to try and out smart him). Mom says she hates that I have been eating poop. She does not understand just how good it tastes.

I also have learned to check the trash, mom really hates this. I have learned not to pull anything out of the trash or mom will yell or pick it up so I can not reach it. She is no fun.

I also hate when mom gets sick. I hate not going for walks or getting to play. So hopefully mom stays healthy.

Well hope all my friends have a wonderful holiday.

Mishka
