Last night....in the dark....I could have sworn I heard something sneaking around. So I barked! My peeps said hey, hush -- but it's part of my job as their dog to warn them about anything and also to chase off Bad Things, and so I did! Dad put me outside, and I barked a little more, but then I quieted down.
Before that...ooooh, it was BATH TIME for me! I love baths! I know most dogs don't, and if I was in a group of dogs I would pretend I hate baths too, but just between us, I love a good bath! I jumped right into the tub, and got all soaped up and massaged and it felt so good I eventually just laid down. It was great! Then Mom dried me off, and when Harley was done with his bath, she dried him off too. Now both of us smell the same, and we feel silky.
I'm still not real happy about the portion size of my meals, but Mom says she thinks she can see the beginnings of my dog-waist starting to show, and - to tell the truth - I think I feel a little better! I don't think I waddle as much as I did, and besides, I want to be fit and buff just like my big brother Harley. I love Harley. Here is a picture of me and Harley sleeping on one dog-bed. (Well he was hogging most of it, but he let me snuggle with him a little bit when it was raining and we couldn't go outside to play.)
Mom has been wanting to take me for walks, but it has been raining. Tomorrow Harley will go to his dog-job at the hospital visiting patients, and Mom said she would take me for a little walk then to look at some more toys that she and Dad hope I can't chew up in 5 minutes.
Mom and Dad are happy that I am so smart. I am beginning to learn my new name, and I laid down today when Mom snapped her fingers and said "Down". It takes so little to make people happy, haha! I guess I owe it to her to be good today since she slipped in some water I slopped on the tile floor and fell on her butt first thing this morning. I was worried about her until she told me it was ok, good thing it was the fat part she fell on. :)
