Fatty, fatty, two by four!

I'm driving my new family up the wall! I can't help it; I'm just all piss 'n' vinegar! All five of them can't keep up with me. I learned my lesson though when I tried givin' guff to Sara, the alpha dog in my family. She gave me a good smack on the nose with her big Chow-Chow canines and sent me runnin'! I'll always have a little pink dot of a scar on my muzzle now to remind me of what happens when you try messin' with the big dogs!

When I first came home, I didn't like the fancy Iams food they'd gotten for me so I didn't eat it and got a little too skinny for my human's taste so they gave me canned food mixed in. Ha! I showed them -- I ate right around the kibbles so they gave up and gave me nothin' but the good stuff! I fattened right up. When I went to my first vet visit, the doc' had to pop my little hip back in because it had shifted a little from all the weight gain. He says I'm growin' like a weed and need to slow down! So... they switched me to Purina Pro-Plan Adult food to give my bones a little more time to adjust to my growing body. I guess I'm 'average' weight now but I sure do miss all the fatty stuff and treats I was allowed to have before.

I took my first trip to Petland and Petco on Monday; it was so much fun! There weren't any other dogs there so I had no one to compete with for attention. Everyone loved me and couldn't stop talking about how handsome I am. Guess it's just natural. :-) Khamryn let me pick out my own jumbo-sized chew bone at Petland and when we went to Petco, I got two new two! I rope ball for fetching and chewing and a tuggy with a rope ball at the end for super tug-o-war! My new bed is great, too. Khamryn put it right over the A/C vent where I like to sleep so it keeps me nice and cool.

I also have new pics! All is well here in Iowa with my new people. Thanks for reading!
