return to top

It's good to be me-by Sierra

I am top dog.

I may look all pretty and sweet but I am the top dog in this house-next to my Mom of course. Xena was the boss when Mom & Dad were married, but when she moved out with Dad, I became the boss dog. Then she came back when Dad moved into an apartment and tried to be boss again-fuggedaboutit! I am the boss puppy now. I have to keep her in line all the time. And she barks a lot. It is annoying. She is learning though-don't mess with me!

Gentle Leader, My Tail!

Mom got this contraption because she says I pull too much when we go on walks. It is called a "Gentle Leader" and it goes around your muzzle and neck and pulls on your head so you don't pull too much and choke yourself. I gave her a good fight when she tried to put it on-but as usual-she won. I couldn't pull very much and I was very annoyed. Mom was happy though. Maybe she will take me on more walks now.

Not eating...

I just don't feel like eating very much. I am starting to eat more. Mom says I am "blue" just like my eyes. I guess I have been a bit stressed from all the changes. And dealing with the puppy all the time is wearing even me out! I am getting used to being downstairs during the day now. I even go down with no problems in the morning because Mom gives us special treats. It's not so bad-it is a big room with carpet and windows and a fireplace. Life goes on and I am loved.
