Life of the Irish

So much more to tell...

So much has happened since my arrival to here that my wolfie brain hurts just to think about it! i dont know where to start really.
Rather than dredge up the painful past, i would just like to pretend that my day can just start from today. Unfortunately a major thing is about to happen which is only happening because of the major (painful) thing that happened 3 months ago.
My sister, Lulu passed away.
It was sudden. One minute she was there, the next she wasnt.
i knew something not right was going on.
Mum and dad were always upset, rushing around. i got left behind alot while Lu would get to go in the car. She would go away for days at a time. I would always race behind the car when she returned, wanting to see her. And she smelt funny too when she came back.
Lu wouldnt play with me anymore. She just sat at the top of the balcony and watched me. i tried to get her to follow me. Before, she would come bolting down the stairs when i would leap up to grab the colourful birds from the trees. She didnt do that anymore- she would strain her neck up to look between the wooden railing but thats as far as she would go.
She gave her food up to me, stepping back...and she never ever would do that in the whole time i've known her. She once had me in a head lock when i attempted to eat her biccies years ago.
I miss Lulu a lot. We used to spend so much time together. She was such a happy confident girl that made me feel not scared of anything! People would come to the front gate and she would go and stand sturdy and stare at them. i would go and stand right next to her. i'd bark at them though.
i cant do that anymore. its scary sometimes without her.

Mum and dad want to get me a new sister. i dont know how i feel about that. i met a few potentials on the weekend. One girl, Tiger Lily i really liked. But is she going to make me feel as safe as Lulu used to make me feel? Is she going to wrestle with me like Lulu used to?

i really like the attention i get from mum and dad now. They always pat me when i ask. They let me wander freely around the house. I even went in the bathroom a few times and got to munch on the cat poo! Mum got angry but i still did it! i went in the cat room and discovered their biccies too ! hahaha
Dad sleeps with me in the loungeroom, sometimes sharing his quilt with me. i get yummies form his plate while he's eating(when mum isnt watching). Dad also lets me jump up on him when he comes home.
i think to myself on occasion, that mum gets a bit frustrated with me following her around. But she doesnt stop me. what does it matter if i'm in the bathroom with her while shes showering? or lying in the doorway while shes on the toilet? At least i have company.

i have to go now. i'll let you now what happens with my new brother or sister

Long day out.....

I had a pretty uneventful day at training this morning- i grabbed no one and no one grabbed me! mum was so much more relaxed when we left but i was iching for more! exciting brawls that is, not training!
i find training soooo boring! the first 20 mintues is ok but one hour is too long for me. It gets hot and we're always doing the same thing.
It's exciting when mum uses lots of chicken but i'm getting less and less lately
:(
Doesn't she know the more expectation i have the more motivated i'd be!! ;)
Grade 2 is so simple that it's boring! I can't wait to get into Grade three! maybe next week...there's only two sundays of trg until we break up for chrissy hols tho. i'll have my paws crossed!

mum put new music to my page today! she's reckons i look like ALF...bleggh!

one fine day

i think this is the third nice day i've had here in my new home. The weather in Sydney has been yucky. Rainy and windy and freezing. At least i'm still not at the kennels. my new home has heating, comfy beds and people i can jump on!
i get taken for long walks and get to sleep inside at night.

i wish mum would get off the silly computer and take me for a walk now!
