Jiving with Jenny

One Year Anniversary with my new Mom!

It's been a whole year since coming to live with my new mom in Rockport, Massachusetts. We're a team, she and I!

The good news....other dogs are not so scary to me. The not so good news is that as soon as I start playing with another dog, I jump 'em to be sure things don't get out of hand. So mom keeps me on a long leash so she can pull me away just in time.

Mom isn't working and is not so happy about that, but the other good news is that we get to go to the beach EVERY day. I like my little local beach. To vary our routine, we sometimes go for a hike at the state park or local quarries. But I like the beach cause I can see just who is around and I can runnnnnnnn!

Our old cat Squeaky has her own room now, line in blue plastic tarp. Even though she has 2 litter boxes, she pees all over. Then she circles the room over and over. It makes me dizzy! It also messes up the floor. Mom says it's a mess, but as long as Squeaky doesn't seem to mind, keeps eating and purring, she'll stick around.

Well, until our next entry, have a happy fall! We are going to dress up tonight to greet the Halloween Trick or Treaters.

Life Progresses Nicely...I like it here

Yes, It has been a long time. And I've been with my #2 mom for over 9 months now...It's been a rocky road, but we are pretty well bonded. It gets better and better. Mom lives to entertain me!

I like Squeaky, the old cat who use to be feral, but forgot and now is very friendly. She can't see very well, but I make sure she knows I'm around by kissing her often. I poke her a lot too.I poke everyone! Maybe that's why mom sometimes calls me POKEY.

Mom is a worry wart! She thinks I must miss my old pals, but I hardly ever think about them any more. I'm sure if they materialized, I'd be very happy to see them....and especially my #1 mom. Something would be wrong if I were not happy to see them all! Mom (#2) thinks I miss running and playing with another dog. I guess it would be fun to be chased...and never get caught, cause I run like the wind! And I can chase any dog down.

Well, I hear mom #1 and mom #2 talking about getting me a playmate. And my daughter just happened to produce a few cuties, one of which may come to live with me....maybe. If mom is a softy and goes with her heart, a little boy may arrive. If she thinks and analyzes about it, she may decide it's too much for her to handle...it's not only a puppy, but a deaf one!

My grandson and I could probably get along and eventually play and run around together when he gets a little older, as soon as I teach him exactly who is the Queen Bee Boss around here....ME!

If he does come here, we will surely share pictures and new diaries with everyone!

Until then, mom needs to give me a bath now and I'll feel SOOOO good and refreshed!

Surprise Visitors!

Last Saturday, all the way from New Hampshire, my old pack of best friends and family came to visit me! Toto and Beanie and my 'old' (no offense, mom) Mom with one of my best human friends, Skye met us on Long Beach in Rockport. My new and forever mom had been telling me there was a special surprise heading our way. I was soooo excited to see them all that I ran for JOY! We ran and played on the beach for a long time until 'new mom' and I had to go open our store. But at the store, my best buddies came for visits, took me for a walk and I sat on the bench with 'old mom.' We even all slept together that night, even though 'new mom' got a little lonely and insulted. But, she realized this was a special occasion. We also celebrated Beanie and Toto's birthday a little early. It was great to have them visit. I wish Toto would come live here with me, so I can have the best of all worlds, but Skye would miss him too much. I missed them all when they had to leave and I looked for them everywhere for 2 days....outside the store, all around my house, at every car following us, everywhere! I couldn't find them anywhere! It broke my new mom's heart to see me miss all the others so much. But after a few days, I forgot what I was looking for, 'cause mom showered me with so much love and goodies that we are closer then ever! There is no better place for me, even though I loved seeing my old family. What a great surprise that was! Mom must really love me to let me spend time with them. Yes, she really loves me more then ever.
