The Adventures of Fergie

ahoy maties!

Hey everyone,
Happy turkey day..well..for us canadians. It was so nice having my mom and dad around all day today. So lets see whats been new...my mom and dad went to the local animal shelter cause they thought they might want to add a new addition to the family. They came back without a new friend. M mom said that there weren't any dogs that would be a good fit for me. They were either super hyper jack russells or big dogs that my mom would be dragged down the street by. we live in a townhouse so space can be an issue. After a lot of thought they have decided to just stick with me. I dont mind. I like being the spoiled only dog. :)
I jerseyed myself the other day. we went walking down the street and I didnt want to go any further. My mom pulled and I pulled and then bam! I stood up on my back paws, threw my harness to the ground and ran all the way home. My mom followed me back and let me go back in. I tried showing her that I didnt feel like walking, she just didnt get it.
I went to a cottage for the first time awhile ago. I have never smelled so many smells! I stayed on extra good behaviour. So much so that I was allowed to be off my leash and hangout in the yard and on the deck. I barely slept that weekend. When I came home I slept for 14 hours straight.
My boyfriend Cooper moved away. And my other boyfriend Tank is moving too. This leaves me strapped for friends. Theres a bassett hound my mom is organzing to come by so maybe they will like me. My mom says that Im a bit overwhelming and I should settle down for first impressions. Im excited so why not show it? I like it when others are excited to see me!
I went to the dog park for the first time too. I ran for about ten minutes but I just got too tried chasing some Whippets and gave up. I lied under a picnic table and drank 5 bottles of water. My mom got concerned about me so we went home.
I have also become somewhat of a project. I wear this exercise monitor sometimes. It tells my mom how many steps ive taken and it flashes green when I have had adequate exercise. Its good cause she always makes sure that its green by bedtime. She wears one too so we exercise together. Its fun.

WELCOME ME BACK!

Hello all my doggie pals!
Its me..the ferg. Its been a very long time since I have written but I guess life happens. I thought I'd give some updates on how things are.
I am 60 pounds now and a year old. The vet keeps laughing at my mom cause she thinks I'm going to get bigger still. I am officially just over half of my moms size! She's a lightweight. I am not.
I have pretty much conquered my indoor pee issues. When my mom and dad are at work I can hold it for all day. But once they get home it's a free for all. I get excited and play and then I have to go very often. I mean if I pee while they are out then Im stuck with it, but if they are home then I know it will be cleaned up asap.
My boyfriend Cooper moved away. I miss him. My mom and I went for a walk today and saw Tank and his mom. They talked and decided for the two of us to have weekely dates. This way we can play together and get adjusted to listening to our moms with distractions. All the little dogs still don't like me. The bigger I get, the more they run in the other direction.
Apparently healthy treats don't work for me. I have started eating milkbones and guess what? No itchies! I was getting them all the time before and now that I am not on any healthy treats Im golden. No ear infections or anything. Phewf!
My mom has decided that she wants to get into dog training. The bigger the dog the better. She finds training to be a lot of fun and very rewarding. I don't think I've ever seen her afraid of a dog. Not even this huge bull mastiff she saw at Woofstock the other week. cats however, they make her nervous. So she keeps experimenting with all these techniques and reading books and researching. It keeps things exciting around here. Well I guess that's all for now. Hope everything is great with all of you. Take care!

Ciao.
