hey

My owner is on fall break right now, so that means i can stay with my family more during the day! yayyyy! anyway, our 9-month old nephew is here today, and i don't really like him. he's kinda suspect. i think i'm jealous of him, because whenever he comes over, HE gets all the attention instead of me! plus, im kinda scared of him (i get really nervous around little kids). i try to snap at him when he comes near me. i don't like him. not one bit. i wish he would just go back home. but my family seems to love him to death! he gets all the attention that used to be mine! i just don't understand it.
I also got in trouble yesterday morning. i was just lookin out the front door, mindin my own business and tryin to protect my family, when this lady comes walkin down the street.... WITH A DOG!!! well, i did what any good guard dog would do... i tried to alert my family! i jumped up and barked my head off! i started scratchin all over the door, growlin and barkin(what was i supposed to do? i thought they were gonna hurt us!). the door managed to come open when i was scratchin on it, and i zipped right out the front door! i ran over to that dog and tried to defend my family! the lady walkn the dog started shooin me away with her leg, kickin at me, while i was trying to stop them from hurting my family! my momma was on the phone. she dropped it(with an answering machine recording everything), and she made a beeline for the door! she chased me, and before i know it, she's out there scolding me and disciplinin' me! no thanks at all! i just didn't understand it. i was tryin to protect my family! well, she apologized to the lady, and her cute white little dog, and she dragged me inside. she scolded me, and she made me go outside! she was very mad a t me. i dont like seein her like that, and i dont like to make any of my family mad! i was so ashamed, but i was confused! i didnt realize why i was being punished for trying to protect my people! it wass all just so confusing, and it was not fun. i dont like seein my momma like that. but thats all over now, and i love my family!

Sunday mornin'

Well, today I had to sit outside while my folks went to church. Nothin' much happened. I saw a squirrel or two, but they all ran away! That's why I was so excited that my people came home when they did! I got to play with them(not to mention that I was about to burn up outside because of the heat anyway)! I hope to make a lot more doggie pals on my site! I was so excited when my family came home. My owner played squeaky with me, and scratched my head(aaaahhhhh...)! Nothing much happens on Sundays. It's kindof a lazy day. That's what I like about it! Plus, during the week, my peeps are gone! I don't know where they go all day... That's what I like about Saturdays and Sundays. Gettin' to stay in w/ the A/C on, and playing and hangin' around with my peeps. Not much more to say. I hope to make sum more pals on here!

Hello, people!

Well, I was listening to the radio last night, when the DJ started talking about this "dogster" website. "A place to meet other dogs?!?!", I thought. "Sounds fun to me." So, I checked it out, and now here I am! I wanna meet a bunch of new doggies, too! Let's see, about me: I loooove playing with my squeakies, I looove eating chewies, I enjoy walks, and chasing squirrels and birds. But I absolutely detest getting a haircut and taking a bath! I tremble when my people take me to the vet! But to be honest, it's really ususally not as bad as I anticipate it to be. I like waking my boy up in the morning by running upstairs and jumping on his bed in the morning! I am afraid of thunderstorms. Sometimes, I get really lonely. Oh, and once, when my people were gone, someone tried to break in! Honestly, I was a little scared... but I was brave and barked as loud as I could to get someone's attention! Fortunately, my people showed up before the thief could get in, and we were all unharmed. My own bravery really shocked even me! I remember when I was first brought home... I had been at that stinky old pound before, but I didn't know any difference... I'd never been anywhere else! Besides, my family was there. I couldn't just leave 'em, could I? But boy, I tell you what... if I had known what those people were gonna do to me and my family if we didn't get adopted, I wouldda tried to break every single pooch there out! It smelled like pee and poop, and I was in a really small, dirty, stinky cage, holed up with my family. I was happy to be with my family, but I had no idea what those guys would've done to us if we hadn't been adopted! Well, one day, a young boy came along, looking for a dog. His name was Luke, and he stopped at our cage. He looked at and picked up me and my siblings, and then finally... he decided on me! I was a little... okay, a lot, nervous at first, and I was worried about my family and where I was going. But now, I know that I've got some loving people to play with and enjoy(although they do give me those stinkin' baths every now and then...), but I really hope that all of my family made it out okay. Well, that's me... how 'bout you?
