I will write about my about how old I am, what I look like, and how my training is going. (I'll try
to be truthful!)
March 9,2010. A lady came today and played with me then she took me home with her. I don't think she was too pleased
with me when I threw up all over her. I never knew my stomach could do that! Ugh! I was not too happy about it either. She
was nice about it and cleaned me up. She called it a bath but I thought she was going to drown me. When that other dog
tried to get in with me. I don't think that dog liked me so I spent most of the day hiding from them, but the lady kept
picking me up. Later that day she took me back to my mother. I was so happy to be back with my brother and sister.
March 17,2010 . Another person came today and when they left my brother , Bear was gone. My lady said that Bear was going
to live in Medora. She said that he was going to be the lady's bye bye dog which means he has to ride in a car a lot. Boy!
Glad she never picked me! My lady said he will have to learn what the words sit ,stay, bye bye, potty and no means.
She also said he will have to share his house with another dog.. My mother spent most of the night barking but my brother
never came back home.
March 18,2010 . My sister, Teddy left today. She left with a lady and three small kids. I licked the largest kid's hand
and jumped up on him. I never knew that I could actually knock someone that tall over. I can't knock mom over and he
wasn't any bigger then her. I guess it must be harder to stand on only two legs. Boy! I'm glad I have four legs. I sure hope
no on else comes here I don't want to leave mom again.
March 19,2010/ Great news! My lady took me into the house today and put a bright red collar on me and my favorite toy
was there. It smells like my brother and sister! I like this!!.She says I get to stay here with her and the family.
March20, 2010/ She got me a soft bed , a bright red leash, my own bowl to eat out of and some very good food.
She likes to walk with me with that leash thing in her hand . Maybe she is afraid of getting lost because she wants
me to walk right next to her leg. No problem there - this is easy and she gives me pieces of that great tasting food.
She also gets a kick out of petting me with this thing she calls a brush. WOW she can do that all day long it feels great.
The only bad thing is that the bed taste so good and she will not let me chew on it. Maybe when she is not looking.... I like
being inside with her but just as happy when she opens the door and says out.
March 20, 2010. Tonight I was inside and heard a strange noise in the dinning room. Shawn was in there but he was
working at the table. I listened and then I gave my deepest growl, Kat was listening also and she put her hand on my chest
and said Easy. We heard the sound again and Kat removed her hand and said Go. I growled again and ran into the room but the
sound never came back. I must have scared it away.
Then two tall men came in the front door. They wanted to play with me but I was afraid they where going to take
me away with them so I stayed close to Kat. They never took me away but they took Chris! I ran to the door to get him back
but Kat said it was okay. I hope he comes back soon.
Then Kat grabbed me and took me out the back door. She was walking towards the car with a shovel. I was hoping
we were not going to go for a ride but we did. She drove just a little bit and when we got out the sky was a strange red and
orange color and the air smelled funny. I didn't like it and burned my nose in her jacket to keep from sneezing. Kat said
it was a fire and that I should stay away from it. No problem there - I want to go home. She talked to Bill for a few minutes
and then we want back home.
Chris came home with one of the tall men and they disappeared down the stairs. I am not allowed down there yet.
March 22,2010. It was raining all day and no one was home most of the day. Kat got home around 2 and let me inside. I
wanted to play but she said I had to be dried off. I had lots of fun playing with the towel , but she wasn't happy when one
of my teeth nipped her hand. She made me walk around the house on my leash and I got tired of her pushing on my butt all the
time. But I tricked her I sit down as soon as she said Sit and before she had a chance to push my rear down. She
was very happy!
I tried to make friends with that bird, but all it did was fly around in its cage. Then Kat said Out. I did
not wanted to go outside but I did. I flopped down right next to the door hoping she will let me back inside.
Kat entered my name into her WII Fitness Program. I am 13.2 pounds and 8 weeks old.
March 24,2010.
Yesterday Kat washed me off as soon as I came into the house. She said I should stay out of the mud, but it is
so much fun playing in it. It flies up in the air whenever I jump onto it. I will try not to get so muddy today. Kat
and I walked around the house a lot. She must get lost a lot because we are always stopping in the middle of the rooms. I
have to sit down ever time she stops - but she aways remembers to tell me I am a good girl. Now she is pulling my front legs
out from under me and saying Down. Wish she would make up her mind - does she want me to sit or lay down. Also
wish she would forget that awful No word - I have growl at her when she says it but then she picks me up and says NO again.
Kat called me in early this morning and brushed me all over and sprayed me with this nice smelling stuff. Then
she put me in a crate for awhile. I could not get out so I just laid down and waited for her. When she came out she took me
to the truck and put me in the front seat. She said we were going to the vet. It was a long ride but we listened to music
and my stomach was fine. At the vet's office I met a lot of girls that were very nice to me. They gave me lots of treats -
two tasted different those were worming tablets. Do I have worms?? Ugh - sounds bad whatever they are. Then I got a
shot for distember ( my temper is okay so why do I need a shot for it), hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza and coronavirus.
Then the nice lady rubbed some stuff on my back and said the fleas would stay away from me for a month - but I have to stay
clean for the next two days because I can not have a bath until then. The gave me a bag of Science Diet large breed puppy
food and a packetful of material for Kat to read. I have to go back and see them again in two weeks. I was very tired so I
slept on the way back home.
April 1, 2010. Kat give me a special treat today. She said it would keep me from getting heartworms, fleas and
some other types of worms. She has this thing about worms - I think she is afraid of them. I am not sure what they are
- but I am not a bag of worms covered in fleas - so I guess she is doing the right thing.

April 2, 2010. A lot has been going on this week. I spend all of last Saturday with my mom because Kat and Bill
were gone all day, Kat came back with a new book which she said was called Dog Training for Dummies. Hmm... does she
think I am a dummy!! On Sunday I was playing with Kat when her phone stated singing. She was very happy and picked
me up and put me into my crate and took off. When she got back and left me loose I walked out to see my mom and she was gone.
Kat said that mom want to live in Seymour with a young man who needed a good house dog. Then Kat moved the dog house
close to the big house and struck a pole into the ground with a chain on it. She said that whenever I am outside I have
to be on this chain until she gets the invisible fence put up. Man she is nuts - how is she going to put up a invisible fence
and how am I suppose to know where it is at if it is invisible? Think goodness I spent most of my time inside
the big house.
Kat brought me a couple of new toys. She calls one a frisbee, one a ball, one a chewy, one a bone. She also
got me some more treats which she hides in a little bag hooked to her belt. I like the ball best. Kat shows it
to me and says Ready then she throws it and says Go Get it and I run and get it. She says Bring it and I take it to her. I
drop the ball when she says drop it and then we get to do it again.It is so much fun! I hope we play this game a lot.
She still likes to work around with that leash saying Heel. She is very happy when I walk by her leg and sit when she stops
walking. I don't like it when she says to Go Lie down or just down...I like to move around.
She says I am learning what Heel, Sit, Go Get It, Bring It, Drop It, Off, Leave It, Ball, Down, and Go Lie Down
but I still need lots of practice. How much does she want me to learn? She says I need to learn to stay and to ride in
the car better and to learn to do all this off leash. Kat I am just a puppy! I keep trying to get that dog training
book away from her but she always catches me taking it.
April 20 - 2010. I have not had time to write latey. Kat has been too busy to let me use the computer. She has
been gone alot this month and when she gets home we play for a few hours and then she has to get the housework done. Bill
and her were gone for three complete days at the begaining for the month. I was afraid she had left me like my mother
did - I was so happy to see her when she got back. She took me out to play but she was not happy with me for jumping
and nipping at her. I had to sit down before she would even pat me. I love being petted. Then a man came to the house and
she put me outside. He was here to fix the washer and not to take me away. The next day Kat took off that morning and
never got back until that afternoon. I missed our morning play time. She said she had to get her hair cut - why? I don't
care what she looks like I just want to play.
On the 7th we went back to the vet's. They are so nice there - I get a bunch of hugs and treats. I weighted 17.5
pounds and they gave me another shot. I was on my best behavior and Kat brought back a bag of stuff for me. She said I could
not have any of it yet - if it is for me then why do I have to wait. I do not like to wait for things. I do not have to go
back to see them for a month.
Then the washer man came back again. He will not even pet me.. I try to be friendly but he stays far away from
me.
Last week Kat was gone all day during the week. When she got home each day we would play outside for an hour or
so. She still likes to walk with that leash - you would think she could get around the place without having me lead her. Then
when I do get ahead of her she pulls me back and says heel.
Yesterday she gave me a bone with peanut butter inside it then she did something to my nails. I didn't care
as long as she let me lick that bone.Whatever she did to my nails made Bill happy because when I want inside he was
happy that i wasn't making any noise on the hardwood floors.
