Starting to show signs of life

It's true. I am starting to show signs of life. I know what does that mean. People. Tail wagging. Yes, it's true again. I have started to wag my tail. I mean not a full on wag but a small happy to see mommy wag. I sees it. I know she does. I try to keep it hidden and on the down-low but she mentions it from time to time and I know that she comes to expect it. So yes, I have given in to the conforms of life. Tail wagging.

You know what. It feels pretty darn good. I must say that. I feel like a new woman. I see Fred doing it on a daily basis and feel that it is my duty to join in on the good time.

Does that mean, I am becoming, can I even say it? A family member? Part of a real family.

People is this true?

I'm a happy girl

If you have been following me do you remember when I wrote my first blog?

I do. Fred didn't like me and he showed me that he was the king of the house. I wedged my way into his heart. He protects me now. That's how much I wedged myself into his heart. I show him my thankfulness by giving him kisses. He likes that.

Each day I am getting better and better. I still run away and mommy makes me come back. She says nobody is chasing me. I think she knows that I want to be around everyone but I am afraid too. I even come a little closer and actually sit in the room with my family and lay down quickly. It takes a few tries but I usually get it right.

I absolutely love walking and I am getting better with the noise of traffic. Who would have thought that pulling your master on a leash would be so much fun. I am not so skittish when cars come by. In fact, I hardly notice them. What can you say to that people? Yeah!

I will keep you update on my progress. I am making great strides each day and I couldn't have done it without the love and support of my family and friends.

Still Making Progress

Yes, I am still making progress each and everyday.

I absolutely love going for walks. In fact, when mommy gets our leashes out, I run around the table to get ready for her to saddle me up. I trot happily next to her and follow her all over the house. When we are outside, I look at her every second to make sure that I am doing the right thing. Plus, secretly, I want to make sure that she is the one holding onto my leash. I haven't let daddy walk me yet. Another chapter....

Fred is my best friend and I love him. He has opened the door to being my friend and I am grateful.

Here is a wonderful breakthrough for me to share with you. Mommy took us out walking the other day and we stopped to speak to one of her friends. While waiting, the lady started talking to me. I said to myself, self, what is she doing? As she walked toward me, I saw mommy look at me to give me assurance. Quess what? I actually let someone pet me. Mommy was so excited.

Believe me, I am making progress everyday.
