My Diary

I have been keeping a diary since I came to live with my new family, a week ago. Here are some excerpts from the past week:

DAY 1: I went in something called a car for the first time today and threw up twice. It tasted great! I also had to get used to something called a collar and leash. I am scared but my new family seem nice. Uncle Andy and Auntie Anna came to visit me. Auntie Anna has freckles on her nose like me...

DAY 2: I was really good overnight and didn't poop or pee in my room at all! I played with my other litter mates called kids. I didn't play with the grumpy one called cat. Kept falling asleep everywhere...

DAY 3: Today I chewed a sock, and a boot. I met my neighbour, Fergus, who is a big border collie like me. I hope I grow up to be as big and handsome as him! His Mum gave me a gift. Later I went to the vet and he gave me a gift. I thought I would give my new family a gift too, so I pooped in the car on the way home. They laughed and put all the windows down, and even someone on the street coughed and gasped as we went by because of something they called the stink!

DAY 4: Today I helped do something called "counselling" and chewed the client's shoes by the front door while they did whatever they do in that room downstairs. At lunchtime I helped myself to coffee from a mug on the low table. I loved it but kept needing to pee afterwards, even inside. Then I ate the table leg and barked at the garbage men. Somehow managed to get pink marker all over my feet. My family bought me a bandanna, ball and a new name tag.

DAY 5: Today I pooped and peed on the carpet four times. My new Mum is tired and not pleased...

DAY 6 Today I pooped on the couch! It was way more comfortable to do it there. My plan is to try the BED next! I also ate some poop outside. They said it was a good thing I had been de-wormed. Uncle Andy and Auntie Anna came again and brought ice cream for the bigger pups and treats for me. My favourite is the bacon and cheese...

DAY 7: I got to try milk today! It's good! There was a whole river of it all over the kitchen floor because my Mum dropped a whole jug of it. Later I watched the people puppies wash their trucks and cars, and steam clean them. Something to do with puppies doing their business in the trucks. Strange, because I didn't know Uncle Andy and Auntie Anna had a puppy....
Then, they all went for dinner and LEFT ME BEHIND!!!

DAY 8: I discovered the bath tub today! My Mum wasn't feeling well and was having a soak in the tub. She screamed when I licked her and drank the bath water. I don't know why she made me leave. I was only trying to help her wash. Later she gave me her sausage and bacon at breakfast because she had lost her appetite. I hope she keeps losing that thing. Maybe when I've finished eating I'll help her to find it. I think a cup of coffee would go down nice with my sausages....
