Rusty the ADHD minischnauzer

August already?

Wow, how time does fly when you are having fun. Daddy & Mommy told me the little Kristena is going to be staying with us for a year or more (sounds like a very long time to me). Her mommy & daddy are leaving for Iraq the 28th of this month and she is going to stay with us. She is really starting to play with me, she throws my toys, lets me lick her toes, feeds me people food, and doesn't cry or run away from me very much anymore. I think she is starting to like me, I'm so glad it was a real pain having to be quiet and polite around her so I didn't scare her. I am so mad at that big dog on the beach that was allowed to run over her I could just attack him.
Mommy & Daddy haven't been to Laredo for some time now. Mommy's job hasn't sent her there but I think I heard them saying that we were supposed to go next week, but didn't know how everything was going to get done. We are supposed to go to a place called Camp Bowie near Brownwood to see Kristena's mommy & daddy before they leave for their long trip. Oh well, Daddy & Mommy will get it all figured out. I will get to go along that is all I care about - I looooooooooove traveling.
All the kids around us are getting ready to go back to school so I won't have anyone to bark/talk to during the day when I am in the yard.

Moved AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, I have a new home again. It's kind of nice but it has carpet in almost every room. I can't slip and slide like I used to when daddy would throw my toy. I really like slipping and sliding, it's so much fun. Daddy & Mommy bought me a new crate, I have a little bit of a hard time getting the door open when I want to go in it but I like it. I get lots of air and can see everywhere. Daddy even put a new crate in the truck for me, I can see where we are at and when daddy leaves me in the truck I can make sure no one comes up to the windows without me being able to see and tell them to GO AWAY! Mommy says that me crate is actually smaller than my old one but it seems larger because it is not closed in like my old one. Mommy put my old one out on the deck so I would have a place to lay out of the sun when I am in the yard. The people who used to live in our new house had an animal and mommy has been busy cleaning and deoderizing the carpets. I am glad she is doing that because Bright Eyes and I don't like being accused of making messes when we didn't. I thought for a while that Bright Eyes hadn't moved with us, I could smell her but she decided to hide for a couple of weeks. I didn't have anyone to talk to or play with when daddy and mommy were at work, but now she has decided that it is safe to be out in the open again. I have a nice fenced in yard to play in and there are lots of kids here. I try to get them to come play with me but my barking scares them and mommy and daddy don't want me to just go outside and bark/talk to other people. They only want me to bark when someone strange comes on our property, that is going to take a while for me to learn not to just bark/talk to everyone who comes by, but I will try. Mommy's Aunt & Uncle from Washington state were here to see us and then we went to Kansas to see how Aunt Rachel was doing. It's been a busy month.

Wow

Wow, so much has happened in the last month. We went on vacation to Pennsylvania in February. I got to see my cousins Princess Ariana, Spike & Nicco.There wasn't much snow so I didn't get to play like I wanted to, but I got to go. That's the most important thing. We went over to around Philadelphia to see some people that Daddy had to work on their slot machine then we left for Virginia Beach to work on another slot machine. After that we stopped at Fort Lee, VA to see little Kristena's mommy. I had to be really good because we were on an Army base and Daddy told me I couldn't misbehave. After that we came home. We traveled a lot in 10 days but it was so much fun to be out and about.
Let's see now, Kristena's mommy came home from the Army the end of February and so Kristena went home with her. I kind of miss her because she was starting to play with me and would actually let me kiss her.
Daddy & Mommy took me on our monthly trip to Laredo then something really strange started happening around our house. All kinds of boxes and totes were stacked in the living room & dining room. I heard daddy & mommy talking about something called moving. They started packing stuff and throwing away stuff, I don't understand what is going on.
