Squeekie's Now and Then Diary

It's Tough Being Me!

I know it has been a while since I wrote in my Diary. I decided that, if Petey was broke, I needed to help him feel better. I broke down the doggie gate and went into the room with Petey and OOPS, more babies.

Mom and Dad said Petey had to go. They have a friend that loves Petey and Petey loves him. It was meant to be. Petey went to live with his new Dad and I only had to worry about Lil Bit and the new pups.

Mom and Dad promised they would find new families for ALL the new babies; but, I could tell they did not want one of them to leave. She started out a smooth coat; but, she had a spot on her that looked like one of the little down feathers that falls out of a pillow, when I'm too rough. Everybody kept pinching her trying to pick up the feather! Mom and Dad started calling her Feather. The spot and the rest of her hair started to grow and she is now wire-haired rough coat like her daddy.

I need to back up a little and let everyone know that my babies came very early. So early that people started to talk and thought Petey was not the daddy. The vet knew the babies were not early when they didn't get teeth for 6 months! Feather already had one strike against her due to being a preemie. To add to her problems, she fell on her head, not once, not twice, but THREE times! She almost killed herself the first time. Mom was crying and trying to bring Feather back to conciousness. At first they thought she broke her neck. She is a year and a half old and she is still way behind other dogs her age. She is just now learning how to play like a puppy and Mom and Dad have given up on house breaking her - she will use paper; but, won't go outside.

Once Feather got hurt, everyone knew she was home for life. She is spoiled more rotten than me! Mom and Dad never wanted to scold or punish her because she had "spells" for months due to the brain damage. She became very mean. Oh, she doesn't bite people. She jsut bites me and Lil Bit. I can't sit in Mom or Dad's lap or lie down in my favorite spot. If I try she is all over me, jumping and biting. She's handy to have around when something gets broken; I jsut blame it on her and nobody gets into trouble!

I miss Petey; but, Lil Bit and Feather are fun to play with when I'm in a playing mood. They still know I'm the Mommy and Mom and Dad make sure I know I'm the best. They really love my babies; but, they let me know I'm always first and best! Maybe life isn't so tough after all.

BAD BABY!!!

Mom and Dad kept my littlest female puppy and named her Lilbit. She is now over 6 months old and only weighs 4 lbs. What she lacks in size she makes up for in attitude. She is a very bad baby! She attacks her father Petey and me all the time. She may be small but she bites big. She doesn't want Mom and Dad fussing over Petey or me. She insists on having all the attention. We all spoil her. I still take care of her like I did when she was born, and Petey doesn't know that daddy dogs aren't supposed to take care of their babies. If only she wasn't so BAD. Doesn't she take a cute picture sitting on Dad's shoulder?

I HATE PMS!!

Just when all my babies, except the meanest, were sent to new homes, it's THAT TIME again! Mom and Dad won't let me sleep in thier bed and I have to sleep in a Doggie bed in the bathroom. Petey and my pup, Lil Bit, get to go every where and play with Mom and Dad on the furniture. You would think I'm contagious! Mom says it won't last long and it's only because she doesn't want me to have more babies. She's promised to get Petey fixed. I didn't know he was broke!
