It's hot!
I don't know about you guys but it is hot. I can't take it. Mommy sends me outside and I can't wait to come back into the house with her and lay on the cold tile floor. Fred on the other hand just says outside and enjoys the sun. Plus, he has a heavy coat. Someone explain that one to me. I am lost.
Update, I am doing well. Walking with my friend Fred and trying to come out of my shell. I like kisses and I get lots of kisses from mommy. Daddy, I am still trying to figure that one out. I still run away from them both but today, I made progress. I almost ran to mommy for affection. Almost people. That's a big step for me.
I will keep you all posted.

I have been found out
It's true. Mommy has found me out. She knows what I like to do. I like to run. My parents take me out to walk in the evenings and mommy finds things to distract me from being afraid of the noise on the street. So she engages me in running. I like running. I don't pay attention the noise around me, I just keep looking at her and she keeps coaching me on. Yeah mommy!!
Each day, I make progress. I keep moving to the positive. Forget about those bad people that hurt me. There are humans that love animals and I have found two humans who love me.
Plus, Fred. Never forget Fred he demands to be remembered.
That's another day.

Yes I am...
I have to admit this to my readers. I am a klutz. My mommy had to take me to the vet yesterday because I was running around in my usual circle and stubbed my paw. I was limping around the house because I am a klutz. Some animals cannot admit that to humans because we don't want to look less superior than other animals but I can say that I can't chew kibble and walk at the same time.
Many dollars later, I am back home and running away from everyone just like I did before. Am I looking where I run? No and why should I? I'm a dog after all. I pick and choose my battles and running away seems to be a winner.
So here I am in the Vet's office, it's full of other animals and I walk in. All eyes on me. I could have curled up in a little ball and hid for hours. But mommy kept coaxing me and I listened because I am a good girl. Let me just say that I did very well. I took my shot like a woman. Yeah for me.
The lesson here is pay attention where you run. In my case, JUMP over the object and not run into it.

I am still making strides. Each day, I am learning new things. I am glad that this family is patience with me. If it wasn't for that one faithful day that mommy Cherie saved me and found me this wonderful family I wouldn't be here writing to you right now.
It's a struggle each day. But you know what? Mommy is not letting me give up on myself.
I hope I stay here forever. If not, I hope I find someone who will love me and treat me the same. I expect it no I demand it.
I'll keep you update.

I am learning to give kisses
Guess what I am learning to do? Give kisses. Mommy gives me kisses and I am learning to give her kisses too. It's only fair, don't you think? One thing that I like is that I am treated just like Fred. If I get in trouble, I don't get pampered. If Fred and I both get in trouble, we both get in trouble. Most of the time, Fred gets in trouble and I watch from afar. I love Fred but not enough to get punished as a team. He thinks that I am crazy but I learn quickly.
I have been going on lots of car rides with my family and I like it a lot. In fact, when Fred goes away for his time away from me. I miss him but mommy takes me with her to pick him up. I like that. What I don't like is hearing the other dogs bark. I think that they are barking at me and of course, I get defensive. I also have noticed that Fred protects me when other dogs come close to me. He growls. He is my protector. But mommy is the alpha dog in the house. What she says goes. We all know that including daddy.
What I find that frightens me the most is when it is thundering and lightening. I get so afraid of that noise. Fred does too. He runs and hides. I thought that I was the only chicken in the house but guess who has the issues?
