Hi Everyone,
I didn’t go to any more “Art Fair’s” this week. But I did get over being mad at someone that I saw last week? I told you about the “nice” people, and I don’t mind being called “King Charles”, but a man walked by me and said I wasn’t a “real” dog? Now, it’s a good thing Dad didn’t hear what he said! Just because I don’t weigh 130 pounds and stand three feet tall doesn’t mean I’m not a “real” dog? I do weigh 14.8 pounds now and I don’t think I am a “dog”, sometimes?
Plan B has happened? Dad called the guy that put the white flag fence in and told him I was barking too much? Dad doesn’t understand that I am a dog that barks – not a barking dog! Anyway, he got another collar for me. It does the same thing as the fence – if I bark it STINGS? Let me tell you, I am not happy when I get STUNG! I found a way to overcome the “sting” – I can growl? I don’t know if Dad is happy with the growl, but I have 30 days to convince him I don’t need another collar!
Dad has been busy with Jon finishing the garage, so he hasn’t had time to brush my teeth. I have to do it MYSELF! As you can see in the picture, it takes a long time to finish that long stick! Now that the garage is done, maybe he will have more time for ME? Mom is going to stay home tomorrow and start the painting, I will be there to help her! She said I was such a “big help” when she was painting the ceiling and had to get down off of the ladder to see what I was doing? Sometimes no one trusts ME!
Misty is staying with me while Aunt Deb and Uncle Howard go downstate for a funeral. She has so much energy, she can run circles around me – but I can run faster when I’m after a ball! We were getting into trouble when Dad and Jon were working in the garage, we both liked to eat the fresh cut wood that fell on the floor, so Mom took us to the Cleaners for a while. Mom had some work to do, and she could keep an eye on us? We both started out with a bully stick to keep us entertained, but I have been having a little trouble sharing? I wanted mine and Misty’s! I managed to hold both of them in my mouth at the same time! It isn’t easy to chew both of them at the same time, so I hid one from Misty, while I chewed on the other one! Mom played ball with us tonight and I can get two small balls in my mouth at the same time also! I usually only play with one at a time –but – I couldn’t let Misty get one ? I’m working on sharing – Bailey came over to play with us and we all shared the toys?
I haven’t been able to get a lot of naps for several days. Dad thinks if I stay awake during the day I will sleep longer at night? I even tried to sneak in my crate for a quick five minute nap when I thought no one was watching – busted! I have been sleeping in the last couple of days – until 6:00! While Misty is here maybe I can get more naps – because she’s still a “puppy” she needs more sleep! We had two naps in our crates tonight? I think she likes me to sleep in the same room with her. She is used to having Mom and Dad there? I’ll try to keep her from getting lonesome!
Love,
Ruby
