The Life and Times of One Pretty Little Lunatic

One VERY Unhappy Lunatic

So, the last time I posted, I think I mentioned something about having to stay home with Mom and the rest of the pack while Dad went to get our new truck. Well, since that time, we have learned that dogs are no longer allowed to ride in their trucks! It is discrimination, plain and simple. I know, deep in my heart, that if I were a pocket pooch, or, heaven forbid- if I were a CAT *GASP* they would have no problem with me helping Dad work. But, because I am who I am, things like breed bans in various locations we are required to travel to, etc. all come in to play insurance-wise. I am one VERY unhappy lady, let me tell you!

So, just what am I doing about this? I am making Mom suffer! I am positive it is her fault somehow! I think she was jealous that I got to be with Dad all the time, and she secretly wanted me to stay home with her! She already has all those huge drool factories, so why would she need ME too? What is WRONG with that woman???

Just to teach her a lesson, I am peeing ALL OVER the house, getting in the trash and strewing that all through the house as well, and making a ton of noise every time she is busy with something else and needs us to be quiet. Think my plan will work? I seriously thought that after these past few weeks of implementing my plan, she would be mad enough to kick me out and tell Dad he has to come get me, but it hasn't worked yet! Instead, she makes me go in my crate! Can you believe she would DO such a thing to a princess such as myself? The NERVE!

I did what I felt I had to do to get my point across- I peed ALL OVER the thick, cozy mattress with the clean cover on it that she gave me to sleep on. Then I unceremoniously scratched and pawed at it until I stuffed the whole thing into the back of my crate, so I was standing on the bare crate bottom, which I proceeded to scratch and dig at it until she gave in and let me out. Only she didn't give in! She took the bed out, and didn't give me ANYTHING else to sleep on! So, now this princess has to sleep on the bare floor of my crate! This is outright animal cruelty and neglect, and I swear, if I could dial a phone, I would call somebody to haul her away to prison for the rest of her life! And Dad hasn't come to rescue me yet! This completely breaks my heart. I thought he loved me and would do ANYTHING for me, and here he is, out on the road, WITHOUT me! He came home for a short break last week, and I really thought he was going to take me back with him when he left again, cuz he was carrying all his stuff out and putting it in the new truck, getting ready for some serious trucking, and guess what? He didn't even so much as take me for a RIDE! Sure, he loved on me, ran and played with me, and even fed me pizza and stuff, but when I needed him most, he went off and left me AGAIN! He left my brand new leash, my collars with all my bling, my food tote, blankets, bedding, EVERYTHING here with Mom!

I guess I will have to come up with an alternate plan- any of my pals got any advice for me? What can I do to finally get back on the road where I belong??

Gonna be a BUSY week

Hiya, pals! Won't have much free time this week- Easter is next weekend, and Dad and I will be delivering fresh green salads to the Easter Bunny and his crew all week, just to make sure they are all well fed and happy while they work at getting all those Easter eggs colored and all the Easter baskets loaded and delivered! Its a tough job, but somebunny's got to do it! Maybe we will have a day or two off after Easter!

Adjusting at my new home

Hello dear friends!

I have been here in my new home since Wednesday afternoon, and I am really liking it so far! Up until today, mom was letting me sleep in the big crate, but she knew she had to go get one my size so I could take it with me when I go on the road with Dad next week- there's not a whole lot of room in that truck, so the crate has to be small and fold up easily.

She looked at all the little beds made to fit in crates, and said none of them would be very comfy, so she made me a 6" deep memory foam mattress, and is gonna make removable covers for it so they can get washed when needed. She got me a bin for my food, a bowl set and holder for them, a brush, a new collar, two new leashes, toys, and oh my! just everything my little heart could ever wish for!

I've been having a great time playin' with the mastiffs- they are so much fun! Mom says they haven't had a decent nap since I arrived, and they ALWAYS took naps before! Maybe they just didn't know how much fun it could be to stay up and play all day! Well, now they know!

I love my new yard- I don't have to be tied up on a short chain anymore, or stand in poop to my elbows any more either! Every time I go outside, I have to sniff every square inch of lawn, and every single blade of grass! I love to play tug with the long rope made of dad's old socks, and I can even pull the others around a bit!

Oh, and last but not least, there's all my new pals at the clubhouse! What an awesome bunch they are! I love it already- they let me join right away, and they all act like they are my big sisters and brothers! There's even some PB's like me!
