Wisdom From An Old Man

Not Top Dog Anymore

Ever since that new puppy Buddy came home, i have not been feeling so well. And, it is not that he gets more attention than me. Sometimes, i do not mind being left alone. BUT, he jumps on me. It hurts. I yelp and run hide under the end table. That is my safe spot. Whenever i go under there, it means i want to be left alone.

I tell you. I have not been feeling well lately. I mean i do have these moods when i feel like i can run across the yard. Okay, Okay. So that is when my mommy calls me and tells me that there is cheese in the house that i can have! But, i have not felt myself at all these past few weeks. I cannot stand my food being cold anymore. I shy away from my plate of food (but maybe that is out of the fear the puppy will jump on me). I just prefer to sit on my pillow in front of the fireplace and rest.

I went to the doctor. Nothing bad to report. I guess it is just my mood. Now my older mommy wants to get a chocolate female that will play with buddy. I do not think that is such a good idea. Then i would have two of those little pups to jump on me. But, my older mommy insists that it would help the little guy leave me alone because he would finally have a playmate. Maybe they will wait awhile first. I hope so.

First Entry

This is my advice to those youngin's out there who need to understand this life. I am an 11 year old pomeranian. My family just inherited a new 7 week old puppy named buddy. He is a very 'active' dog. He jumps and runs after me even when i am trying to nap. I think this entry should be about him.

He tends to run after me and take my toys. I love this little elephant (i call him elefunk) that my mommy got me at petsmart. it squeaks but most of all, its the best toy in the world. Buddy, my younger ah-chi-wa-wa, decides that he wants to take it from me. then, he has the nerve to chase after me. one day, these kids are gonna understand that my achy bones need their rest.

i dont mind him snuggling up beside me. i am much warmer than he, and my large coat will help keep him warm. but, instead of giving me space on the bed i have always had, he sleeps in the middle, preventing me from sleeping on it.

he is very playful; a bit too playful for me. but, through it all, i know my owners still love me. they still hold me and play with me. they still acknowledge that i am here and they still tell me they love me. i know this little pup hasn't taken my spot yet, but he is a bit too jumpy for my old weary bones.
