Hello World!

Mommy did it too!

Okay, well Mommy broke down and gave me some chicken at a restaurant today. We went for a long walk this morning and after the walk I didn't have much of an appetite. Then Mommy and her friend Janine decided to go shopping and walking and I got to go with. I was a good girl and looked at the furniture and gave my opinion about its various odors as we went from store to store. Now Mommy is a diabetic (insulin dependent type 1) and as such, when she needs to eat, it's really time to eat. I'm glad I don't have to take four ouchies a day, ewww.

And Janine didn't want to leave me in the car. (Mommy said it would be okay since she found a covered garage and I wouldn't be hot and she knows I don't mind sitting in the car if it's not a long time) But Janine said that I didn't have any books to read and I'd be bored so Mommy relented. (she thought I might have wanted to take a nap) Me, I'm easy, I just want to be with my mommy even if I'm kind of sleepy. So off we went to the restaurant.

They had an outdoor section and Mommy knows I'm a good girl, so she asked the server lady if I could have a bowl of water. Then, joy of joys, Mommy ordered me a plain grilled chicken breast! She chopped it up and put it in a small dish for me to eat on the floor. She says she thinks I'll be okay since she did put it on the floor, not feeding from her plate. And to Mommy's credit (and my superior manners) when we got home and she had more food, I didn't ask her for any at the table. So Mommy thinks she might be good with feeding me plain chicken or rice if we go to another restaurant. Yay me!

Oh, and I learned something of a new trick! Mommy is always showing me balls and then throwing them. Usually I'm like, why are you doing that, Mommy? But the other day it was like a light went off in my head! She threw the ball at the dog park, and I ran after it! Now I didn't realize that she wanted that exact same ball back, so I ran after the first one, then found a second one to bring back to mommy. I figure all tennis balls look the same, right? Mommy clapped and clapped and gave me kisses so she was happy enough. Maybe I'll be good and treat her with some smooches before bed.
