Annie's Diary by her Daddy

Who Am I?

My daddy gave me a diary on dogster.com on December 15, 2004. I don't know who my real mommy and daddy are. Please help me identify what kind of breed I am.

Grooming Time

Annie and I went to our 2nd last puppy class on Wednesday. We were thought how to groom, cut the nails, clean the ears, brush teeth and yes... express the anal glands.

So I decided that Annie was stinky enough for a bath on Thursday and I decided to try out my grooming skills. I gave Annie the most horrible haircut. :( Like cut off all the hair around the paws and her pubic area, but I went too far, now she looks like she has mange.... : (

Anyways, I also cut her nails. Not too neat a job. Oh well, at least the nails are short now. Then I bathed her, that was ok.... but before I bath her, I expressed her anal glands by myself for the first time. IT WAS SO GROSS. Some brown liquid of some form squirted out of her butt hole all over the place. And it stank!!!!! Luckily it was in the bath tub. She looked like she needed it, cuz she was always sitting down, like her butt itched.

So I cleaned her up. Dryed her with the hair dryer, she likes it. Then brushed her. Then cleaned out her ears.... they were very clean. Then I brushed her teeth with the new toothbrush I got from Petsmart. So, she had a so-called spa evening. But not a high class spa.... well at least she's clean.

Then I watched TV and she slept in my lap. It was cute. Then she started dreaming I guess. It was the weirdest thing. I was kinda scared for a minute. Her eyes rolled around beneath her eye lids. Then she started showing her teeth. And her body was twitching. Her paws looks like a fist trying to clench something. She didn't make any noise.... it really looked like a bad dream. This went on for 10 minutes. Then I started to stroke her and all the twitching subsided and she let out a big sigh. Then she woke up like she was waking up from a deep sleep.

So much Food!!

I wondered why my daddy was so stressed out.... but he seems happy after I ate some food today.

I don't know what he was doing, but he didn't feed me when he came home like he normally does. He put out 3 identical bowls, like the one he eats out of. They were out side by side. I thought to myself, maybe he's giving me some of his food. I think daddy's food is really tasty!!

When I went over to see what were in the bowls, I noticed that he gave me 3 different kinds of food for me, how nice!!

But when I smelled them, not all were very nice. I finally picked one and started eating. Daddy looked at me. Then he came over and started moving the bowls. I looked at him in confusion. Then I went over back to the bowl that I had been eating off. It wasn't the same food. Daddy had switched them around. I sniffed a little more to find out which one was the food I liked and looked at Daddy. Daddy seemed to want me to eat. So I ate.

Then he picked me up and took me away from my food! And I wondered "What did I do wrong??" Then he let me out of the room and I saw the 3 bowls again. Daddy said "Go eat."

He had mixed the bowls around again. Then I finally found the food that I liked and continued eating, hoping he didn't disturb me again. Then as I ate, I heard him pick up the blue thing he talks into and said something like "..... Innova Puppy is the choice, it's good and she likes it....." I was too busy eating. But daddy didn't bother me again, and he seemed happy.

Daddy is sooooo wierd!!!!!
