Hi Everyone,
It’s December, so I don’t have to wear my “turkey” coat or my hunter orange (or pumpkin) coat. Mom made me a Christmas coat! It started out with dogs that have Santa hats on. BUT then she put a TREE on my back! It has lots of lights, (they’re fake, so I don’t have to wear a battery pack!) and it even has bells on it? Guess I can’t sneak up on anyone now? I am glad to have a coat on when Dad takes me for a walk in the morning! The white dog that sets on the front, doesn’t seem to mind the cold? When I tried to set on the porch beside him, my butt got cold! Didn’t stay there long! Sometimes when I come in from the cold I lay on Annie’s heating pad in front of the register! She wasn’t using it – so I didn’t have to chase her away!
Annie just doesn’t know how to PLAY WITH ME! (Maybe I don’t know how to play with her – she is quite a bit older than I am.) When I go to Gram’s, Brady Boy LOVES to play with me. We have such a good time, and when Dad went to get my crate and go home, Brady Boy was in MY crate ready to go?
I went to Day Care and had a lot of “small” dogs to play with. I even tired out my new friend, he tried to find a corner to curl up in and take a nap! The room is divided into sections for big dogs and small dogs. When I don’t have any dogs my size to play with, Sam and Joan (Sam’s wife) like to hold me! They don’t have any lap dogs, they have three “Newfies”! I have a Newfie in my Class, and when we were on Thanksgiving break, I didn’t see her for two weeks – she grew sooo much she looks like a small bear! She really believed Thanksgiving dinner was a time to OVER EAT! When I go to Day Care the same day as my Class, I am soo tired (not much time for a long nap before I go to Class) I have a hard time staying awake! I hope I don’t get “kicked out” of Class for sleeping? If I don’t Graduate – Mom is going to tell me the same thing she told me in Kindergarten – “I didn’t pay for you to go to class and SLEEP”! Guess I better pay more attention? I do okay with the “down” command inside, but Dad says I don’t do well while out on a walk? Who wants to lie down on the COLD ground? I am catching on to “heel”. (Not sure why I need to do that?) There must be a reason?
I KNOW A SECRET – AND I’M NOT TELLING! (It wouldn’t be a secret if I told you!) As soon as I get the “OK” (that’s my release command) I’ll blab!!
Love and Puppy Kisses,
Ruby
