A New Adventure

Worried about my human

My human and myself and The Cat have to move. My human seems to be taking this very hard. I don't know quite what is going on but I know it takes me a long time to try to lick the sorrow from her when she comes home to me. I don't really know how to help beyond that.

I guess it is hard to find a place where we can all be together and my human won't do without either of us. I wish I could do more but she tells me I am doing more than 6 kilograms of dog should be expected to do.

My Dogiversary

Today is my three year Dogiversary. My human explained that she has been my human for three years now. She gave me a new stuffed toy with this explanation so I am a huge fan. The first time I had one my human was away from me for the first ever having a kneee replaced and last year she was about to have another one done and a bit preoccupied but this year she is fit to focus on how wonderful I am.

Earlier this week it was Hallowe'en. The radio was full of vets coming on saying how scary that is for dogs but I love it. Before dark my human put on her costume and took me for a nice long walk. More people than usual came up to talk to her and me so that was great. Then when it got dark we went upstairs and a steady stream of children arrived at the door. My human would give them something and they would go away but most of them did pet me while they were waiting for my human to spring into action. I did have to stay on my leash because some of the little humans could have been afraid of me but this year none were. A few said they had seen us earlier when we were having our walk.

Looking forward to another year of life with my human. She is pretty well trained by now.

Guilt Entry

The other day my human's mother asked whatever happened to my blog so here we sit trying to think of something to say.

Now that I am an adult dog not much of note happens. My human had more surgery this winter and spent a number of months resting on the sofa bed again. The cat and I enjoyed that. The downside to all these surgeries for the human though has been major weight gain for me. I went to the vet a few weeks ago and I had gained 4 pounds! Considering I was only a little over 10 pounds last year that's pretty major.

The human is taking that pretty seriously. She cut back on my food and even though she is having some new issue with her back that is making walking painful again she has had me out on some longer walks. I lost over a pound already so she thinks she will have me back down to my goal weight fairly fast. I am so hungry all the time though!

I have been doing much better on the whole house training front. My human was beginning to think I would never get it into my brain that I couldn't go inside the house when the weather was bad but it has been months now since my last accident indoors. Why the human calls them accidents I don't really know. They were quite deliberate.

My human retired my faithful companion Mr Bear recently. She had sewn his stomach up a good 50 times or so in my lifetime and since I seem to take such great joy in ripping out the stitching she has given up on fixing him.

That's about all the news from here. You can see I live a pretty dull life now.
