My Diary

It's been almost a year

It's been almost a year since mom's other dog, Agape', (also on Dogster) had to be euthanized. Mom is still grieving; I can tell. But she and dad couldn't be without a dog, so I soon entered their life. I'm a spirited, independent chickie, and they say I'm difficult to train. (Isn't it normal to flunk kindergarten three times?????) Mom wants to make me a chaplaincy dog like Agape' was, and I want to please her, but I just have to learn to settle down some and get rid of some of my "puppy". They've given me a great home and taken good care of me. Right now I'm barking to much (even as mom types). She has to kennel me when she leaves the areas where I can run in the house, because I like too many things -- wastebasket contents, getting up on mom's chair and getting stuff off the table, chewing on the baseboard -- typical doggie stuff, I thought. But I vow to try hard and so does mom. She's been real busy having to raise her grandson, too, and that's taken time and energy away from me. I try to understand, but I guess I just don't. I'll be back and tell you more later. Maybe the next news will be that I've been trained to do something -- hopefully shut up.
