The Big Bed

Well, I finally did it, I have made it into the big bed with daddy, mommy, and Blanca. A few nights of whining, barking, and forcing myself to vomit and I am now up on the big bed. I just love it!!! It is so warm and cozy and I can sleep up against my mommy. It is so much more comfortable than my crate and the pillows. Mommy says I take up a lot of space, but I love to stretch out from nose to the end of my stump!!!

On a side note, I saw Val the trainer at the humane society and she says that I am not aggressive towards other dogs. I just want to play which is pretty much what I have been trying to say all along. I just want to play and play with everyone. I just didn't really like Lubo in class and that incident with Allie was more to do with me being mad at mommy and daddy for leaving me!!

I also got to see Santa Paws on Saturday. I got my picture taken and everything. Blanca tells me that Santa Paws comes down the chimney and leaves toys and treats for all the good doggies.

I must be good, I must be good, I must be good

Blah

Well, I graduated from advanced class. Daddy says I get an asterisk because I can't get along with other dogs anymore.

I don't know what my problem is, I guess I think I need to protect Blanca. You think she might appreciate it a little bit.

Speaking of Blanca, she got all the attention because she did so good in advanced class.....blah!!!

I want to learn how to ride a skateboard too, but Daddy says not until I learn how to behave with the other dogs. So I guess I'll have to try...

I wish Blanca would play more with me. We have so much fun when she is in the mood, but sometimes she just wants to take a nap and I want to play and play. Our favorite games are chase and lazy wrestling. Lazy wrestling is when we are both lying down and we just kind of paw at each other, and take little nips at each other. It's fun because we don't have to do much.


I have to go, I think mommy will be home soon.

I'm the Boss

So, Tiffany my teacher thinks I'm going to be the boss of me and Blanca. She says that I'm trying to take control. It's true, I'm getting bigger than my sister so I have to protect her. I only bark at the other dogs in class because they make her nervous and scared.

So, I couldn't do down/stay last night, big deal!!! It was just so hard with those yummy treats in front of me. And then I wanted to go check out those little dogs. I just couldn't contain myself. I plan on cramming for the final and showing all those dogs who's the boss, especially that noisy one Lubo!!! Again, I ask why is Lubo in my intermediate class. Someone needs to trade him already!!!

Mommy says if I graduate, I will have one more degree than daddy!! I think that makes me smarter!!!

So today I got to prove what a good bodyguard I am. I saw a big dog across the street while on a walk. I let out my warning bark so mommy and Blanca would know something was there. Mommy thought I was barking at a paper bag, but then she saw it. She said it was a coyote and we had to move. But I wanted to go and see it so I tugged the other way. Mommy said be quiet and move it. She made us run quietly down the street and onto our cul de sac. By that time I was all energetic so I started messing with Blanca. I was giving her little bites just to reassure her that I was going to protect her. Mommy said coyotes are wild and probably wouldn't come up to us, but she didn't want to take that chance. I know I could kick his butt, but I guess I'll never get the chance.

Well, it is do definitely nap time. I might just try to steal that pillow from Blanca even though we have two. Maybe I'll gnaw on my bone for a little while.

I"m staying cool, stay sweet and dont' ever change,
