from stuff to Puff fluff

been a while

So many things have gone on since last diary entry
The coolest was finding out my mum's only friends have my grandma!
We knew we looked similar at first but Then we had news and the breeder that originally had me.Stepped up n told us how I became where I did and how happy they were that my pawrent and I had made a fortunate meeting.
I am a hybrid a shihtzu / Pomeranian cross. Oh thats where all my wool fur comes from.
and my larger than size, dad was the Pomeranian and a larger than average ones.
My fur started getting out of control on my mum last year. finally She understands, how it is to be maintained. With me appearing as a non shedding breed what really happens is the fur sheds but immediately matts at the base close to my body, thus appearing I don't shed. My mum bought every kind of brush, thinning comb and even human detangler spray to get it under control.
She is happy she finally has got it.

Sad news I lost my fur sister kitty. I was very very sad for a long time I was in denial that she wasn't coming home. She hadn't been well for a long time. And the angels took her.

I have learned a few more tricks nothing really super great but still having fun. My mum n I haven't been doing as much k9 freestyle dancing in this summer, because of me mistaken a regular person at store's hand signal and body language as a signal for me to weave in between his legs and I almost tripped him!! uh oh!
welll I thought I was going to get every one happy!! it usually makes everyone laugh and applaud... but nope , not that time. sigh.

We have been getting a lot of snow I love it but get chilly fast I have a gorgeous blue plush coat and wee pink booties, but my booties are hard to get on mum says so only coat gets put on all the time.
I think I look like a rabbit when I bounce around in the snow , my ears fly up and I'm predominantly white. I love to bounce!!

More Puff fluff

Wow I keep watching my vids mum makes, and I am so proud of myself, I don't believe that's me , I thinks it's just another dog like me. I keep seeing them leave the screen and mom tells me to stop looking behind it because it's not a window. what is she telling me?

I been learning so many things and I am really enjoying it. Everyone I hear keeps saying" Puff is so good for you" to my mum. I am so glad I found my mum stray, I think all doggies should find a stray pawrent they the best!!!.. Who knows what would happen to them if we don't find them;)

This week I am finally learning to dance steady on my feet, I can't help it but I wag my tail so much cause it's plain fun.. mum says maybe if you wouldn't be soooo happy you could maintain your balance Puff!

My mum has been talking about trimming my fur but says she doesn't know what to do. She loves it and brushes me a lot, but she is concerned how hot I get .Winter is going to arrive where she says we have seen as cold as -54c brrr. But I hear her say ...cutting it right off is not in her plans, just trying to figure out a way that it would lighten me up. I thought I heard her say " you must be three pounds of hair puff" whoa! that seems like a lot, wonder if mum is exaggerating? teehee!

My mum had put up a radio fence, since a real fence was out of the equation, It's really good she says, though it was weeks of watching and working with me. I like it that I don't have to look through fence slats. Mum says although it is safe that I don't leave, it isn't good cause other doggies can come in steal my toys n leave:'(
She also still watches me.

I have been playing a lot with my fur sister( kitty cat) and we do love each other, mostly we play nice but occasionally mom gets stern with my fur sister, and often mum gets stern with me. We both play a little rough together at times. welll.. what do I do? ......sometimes I chew on her a bit to hard*blush* . What does she do??.. well! you wouldn't believe this would you?.. she grabs on to my ponytail on my head then pulls me in close and grabs my whole head of fur 'n gnaws on me so I can't get away.. that's when Mum shouts Minou!!!..( her name) ~Let~ go ~of Puffy. ~I sorry but I am so glad that I'm not the only one that gets in trouble... If you ask me I would say she plays real dirty.. hmph cats!!!

Please check out my video's of how mum n I are learning fun things together. Maybe some will give you and yer pawrent some ideas.. It is so much fun!
That's all fer now!
paw~later.
Pup pals!!
~Puff~

Wow Summer

My owner apologizes fer not writing, but many advents have gone on that have somewhat passed time to write.
We moved, which is good now we'll have a lawn to play on. And at this moment we're on vacation.
I think the trip was interesting, It started out both me and my fur sister a cat, were in separate travel crates, but ...YEEESH, she didn't travel well for two hours she meowed yeowed meowed whanh whanh( ok note she is ten years old sheesh I'm just over a year). Then my human mom stuck her in the crate with me. Wow she settled right down and now she thinks I am her personal rug.
Oh I agreee I am soft and like a nice soft shag rug... but I felt so used!
Oh...It's ok, just know that I'm not a big baby n meow fer hours on my own traveling:)
Any how my mom is doing well with me we are coming along slowly with beginners obedience work, and mom has added a few fun things to the schedule. waving, and when she asks if I am sad I rub my eyes pretended to cry. I have almost got the pretend shooting trick where I act like I been shot. I am so loved.. I can just feel it.

Summer is passing by and a scary event went on during a hot day. Though my temperature reading was normal we still have not figured out what caused me to start losing control of my back two legs. And it has not happened since. Yet another reason we are glad we moved. My mom is some how linking it to old landlords spraying ground sterilizer on our yard with out notifying us prior. And possibility of me have ate a few old dead grasses to many? She is only trying to understand and hope since in new place she never gets scared like this again.

Our town is small and my mom took me uptown often to practice things I have learned to now do with distractions.. example.. people on streets and other dogs. She is so proud of me I can tell. Because my mom has trouble walking steady, she uses a cane and emphasizes how important it is for me to pay good attention when at her side at heel. I must walk slow when she does and walk fast when she can. When she stops I automatically sit at her side and wait for her to go again.

A woman on the street oddly was poking fun at my mom 'n I.
I say oddly because as she was going into a store the strange person pointed out to a group she was with, that my mom thought she was training me. Then when the woman left the store, this time she whapped a man in the arm and repeated..." look.. she thinks she's going to train that dog" well I could hear my human mom say " hmph" under her breath and mutter.. " puff.... if she payed attention to what you are doing she could see you've been taught very well your leash manors.. look how perfectly you sit at the curb to practice crossing road with me at heel, and take off at my left leg lead"
I really can tell my mom loves me and supports and encourages all the good in me to emerge.
My mom will get on high speed soon on the pc and we will be able to see more of your videos we both excited:)
