Strange yet Familiar

Mom came home today and she smelled strange, yet familiar at the same time. I had to do a complete scan of her... I'd sniff and my tail would wiggle a tiny bit. Then I'd sniff more and it would really WAG!! Mom was amused by this. She thinks the big wags was when I came across the smell of an old friend.

Mom went to visit my former foster sister (and now cousin) Sasha today. While Sasha lived with us, we were the best of buddies. We had tons of fun playing and wrestling. Mom's sister finally decided that her dog, Misty, needed a playmate, so Sasha went to live with her.

After sniffing Sasha's scent on mom, I think she needs to take me the next time she goes to visit!! What do you guys think???

Not so sure about this..

I'm not so sure about this new foster pup that is living with me. "He" arrived yesterday afternoon. AND he thinks just because his name is "Boss" that it makes him the boss of my home. Personally I don't think so! He tried to bite me a couple times last night. Thank dogness mom was there (she wasn't leaving us unsupervised since she doesn't know this dog's history). She promptly grabbed the foster's collar and moved him away from me. He spent the night in his crate. I think he may have settled down a little now.... at least he didn't try to attack me when mom let us out this morning to do our business.

In case you are wondering, Boss is a white boxer with faint black spots. He's goofy... but I still don't care very much for him. Mom promises me that this is a short term foster, just long enough for his owner to find a new apartment or a new home for Boss. I guess I can deal with that... since it's only for a few weeks.

Dear Mr. Mailman

Dear Mr. Mailman,

Thanks a lot for telling mom about our little game. Now she knows about it and it isn't quite as fun as it used to be. It was our little secret, even the neighbor hadn't said anything to mom about it... so all was cool. Then on Saturday, you see mom working on the carport and decide to stop and chat instead of dropping the mail & going on your way. YOU told her about our game!!! You told her about how you keep waiting on my Rose of Sharon tree to fall. YOU told her about how I chew, yank and bite on the tree as you talk to me when you are walking through the side yard. YOU laughed about how I bark, growl and snarl like a real bad boy! YOU told mom about how I'm pulling on her rose trellis and how you figured I would tear it down eventually. How could you go and spoil my fun like that?? I thought we were guy buddies... you know the type who act like they are really tough when they are around other guys? Geez....
