Day #2 of my new home...

Last night, I slept much better. I didn't have dreams that made me talk in my sleep, and I only tried to get in bed with the new Mom and Dad one time. I see that my big brother Harley doesn't sleep in their bed...so...I guess it's ok that he and I sleep on the floor, or on one of his several beds. (Besides, it's cooler on the floor anyway - don't People know that??)

Today was a lot of FUN for me! I ate breakfast, went outside and sniffed around with Harley, and then it started to rain so we both came inside and took a nap. New Mom took a bath, and I was VERY interested in the whole water in the tub thing. I think I almost got the hint across to her that I wanted to get in the tub with her, but she wouldn't let me. She said my turn would come later.

I watched her do a thing called "sweep the floors". That was very interesting to me too, and for some reason some of my hair was what was getting swept up. I also watched her "wash the dishes" and I allowed her to brush me. A lot. I have completely decided that I like brushin's, they make me feel cooler, and Mom tells me how beautiful I am afterwards. I watched her brush Harley, and he likes it, too. New Mom says both Harley and me are beautiful, and "magnificient"...whatever that is.

My only complaint here is there is NOT ENOUGH FOODIES for me. Oh sure, they give me foodies, but I want MORE&MORE&MORE. And.....this New Mom is keeping all the trash and all the foodies in the kitchen that I could sneak and eat PUT UP AND AWAY so I can't get any sneaky snacks. I wish she would stop that. She says it's for "your own good", but I disagree. She also says that after I lose some weight, she will give me a little more to maintain the weight I'm supposed to be at...whatever that is!

So...speaking of foodies....last night New Dad came home with something called an "elevated feeding station" for me, sort of like the one Harley has. New Dad said that us big dogs like to eat and drink with our heads up higher than other dogs, and that it makes our foodies and waters easier to swallow. He is also concerned about something called "bloat" and asked New Mom what time I ate dinner before he came home because he said I shouldn't run around and play with him right after I eat. He said just look at what happened to Marley in "Marley and Me". Well, I can't read, so I can't check it out, but I trust that he knows what is good for me. (All except for that "for-your-own-good" thing with reduced rations...I wish they would re-think that concept.)

New Dad also brought home new toys for me, but I totally destroyed 2 of them in about one hour. I just LOVE to CHEW, but I know there are only certain things I can chew on without getting in trouble. So I chewed those new toys to pieces!!! New Mom said "get that dog a Kong toy", but New Dad said he doesn't like Kongs. Mom is going to ask Dad tonight about that again, I think. Maybe just a good football I can pop and chew on would be nice.

I let Mom hug me today and kiss my dog head. I was reluctant to let her hug me, but she was hugging Harley, and he seemed to like it, so...I let her hug me for a few seconds. I am also letting her scratch my ears more, and she has a fascination with my feeties. She keeps touching them, and saying "Look! He lets me touch his feet!" I don't understand that AT ALL, except I did watch her try to touch Harley's feeties, and he pulled them away, even in his sleep. Silly Harley!

Ooooh! It's almost time for FOODIES! And Mom cooked some hamburger tonight and I saw her take out 2 tablespoons out and set them in seperate bowls to the side before she put other stuff in the pan...she said it was one tablespoon for me and one for Harley to have in our dinner tonight. I get a little hamburger in my foodies??? I LOVE that!!

I do believe I do like it here, I do believe I do!
