It's been a tough week.
School has started, so Mommy and Daddy both are gone most of the day. I'm not sure who is more upset about this, me or them. Mommy looks so sad when she kisses me goodbye in the morning.

It's not so bad, really. My new sister, Addie, keeps me company. In between naps we play together. Sometimes we get a little too rough though. I had to go to see the vet the other day because I accidentally bit through my own tongue! Ouch! Mommy was very upset when she saw my boo-boo and she told Daddy that we needed to go see the doctor right away. He was very nice to me. I didn't like getting a shot, but otherwise it wasn't too bad. And while I was there I got to meet other dogs and got a special dog treat for being a good boy.

Mommy and Daddy say I have to take some medicine to be sure my tongue heals and now they are doing their best to make sure Addie and I don't play so rough anymore.
