ow, ow, ow, ow, ouch, ow, ow.

Special Holiday update

So a month ago after the big cook a bird holiday Mum and Bad Cow did something to the house. They added all this stuff that wasn't there before and it ALL has glitter on it. There's a tree inside our house on that is cozy to lay under and these neat shiny things on them I like to play with. There's also all these other shiny toys they put out all around. so much glitter!
There's this rug in the hallway and I don't like where it is. So I've decided to move it a few times out into the living room. For some reason Bad Cow disagrees with my interior decorating skills and keeps moving it back. Lately too there's been some paper packages put under the tree, when I try to move them Mum yells at me.

Woof!

Oh man, its been forever since Mum gave me some computer time. There's been quite a kerfuffle lately around here. First there was this bird Mum and Dad brought home, put it a pot over night and then cooked it. All these people came over to eat it. Mum and Dad must be really special at cooking birds.
So a few weeks ago Mum and Dad took me to the place with the toys on one side and the pokey needles on the other. This really nice lady took me with her and Mum and Dad left. She was kinda neat, until she shaved my leg, that was just bizarre, mom doesn't even shave her legs anymore!
So they stuck a needle in and took some neat red stuff out of me. Then they called Dad and he came to pick me up ( I was so woozy!) and took me home to Mum and she cried and snuggled me. They keep asking me why I'm A-Knee-Mick. So they put me on this special diet. Then she took me back to the place again and they took more red stuff and shaved my leg again. I must have done better because Mom was REALLY happy this time. So now life is mostly back to normal. I'll post again soon and tell you about what they did to the house!

Week 15

Something really special happened this week, Mom and Bad Cow forgot to put me in my cage to sleep. I got to snuggle up on their bed!!! It was so exciting! I mean they kick me a bit in their sleep, but its all nice and warm. I kinda decided I'd had enough of the kicking on Thursday and I moved up in between them. They seem to not like the snuggle between them method, maybe I'll try at the top of the bed soon...
Oh and last night, there was this loud crash and Bad Cow jumped out of bed and flung the covers...only he forgot I was there and I got to fly through the air...it was neat! Mom had some cool people over, I got to meet Rocky's mom, she was fun!
Oooh and I learned that if I jump hard enough, I get stuck in the sofa and can watch through the window.

Week 14

Mom and Dad kept one of my teeth they found. That's weird right? I told them it was weird. So all the strange white stuff went away, Mum needs to tell me next time she re-decorates my bathroom. We've been going on walks, the force field she uses to keep me in line is getting better. Some idiot down the street has a giant monster inflatable bird thing on their lawn and it freaks me out.
Saturday was kinda awesome. Mum took me over to some people house. There was this little tiny dog with an attitude, a really big yellow dog and another dog almost my size. We got along and played and then I escaped the fence. Dunno why the other dogs didn't follow, but I got to roam the neighborhood until Mom and friends captured me. and the fun was over. :-(

Week 13

This week was just weird...I dunno was Saturday was all about. Stupid white cold stuff. I had to hop around in it. Yeah you laugh, but you try going potty and having to squat your butt into the cold stuff and try to potty when your feet are all cold and shivering.
I spent most of the day cuddling with Mum and Bad Cow, the power was out and it was up to me to keep them warm.
Friday was alright, people came over and made me chase the red dot. One jerk even made the dot go in circles and Mum made me run so fast I slammed myself into the sofa. Stupid traction.
This week also sucks, some of my teeth went missing. And it HURTS. I can't chew anything right, I don't know where the went and Bad Cow says even bigger teeth are going to come in soon. OWWWWW.
Then there was that football game... phew.

Super special Saturday update - Day 88

What the HELL did they do to my bathroom!!! Its all white and cold, and I'm pissed!!!

Week 12

This week was super cool. Mum and Dad took me outside a whole bunch and then Saturday they took me into the woods. We did something called geocaching. It was sooo fun, I even found one all on my own in the woods. I'm a treasure hunter!
Then we went to town and everybody made a big deal out of me. Dad has to stay outside and let all the people look at me while mom shopped.
Bad cow also takes me out every morning, but lately he isn't doing it right. I'm supposed to get tummy scratches every 10 min, but I learned that if I army crawl on the carpet its better than a tummy scritch.
I've learned fetch too. I go get a ball and bring it back to mom and she throws another ball. OO! and they installed this super awesome tissue dispenser. They know how much I like to tear up tissues, so they put out this box that pops up a new tissue when I pull on it. Neat!

Week 11

This week was sorta eventful and boring. Wednesday Mum left for work, which was stupid cuz she works from home. She took this big orange thing with her, I don't like it much. Then Thursday she left too, she came home soaking wet so I'm not sure Mum had much fun at work that day.
Then Friday Mum and Dad left again so grandma had to let me out and feed me. Does she live here!? where did she come from, and how did I miss that? I was just confused... but hey she gave me food so she's got to be a friend right?
Thursday she took me to the bad place. They poked me a bunch, but they all make a really big fuss out of me... so I tolerate it. Mum bought me more treats and new jewelry so now you can see my name.
She's also started taking me on "walks." I'm not sure how I feel about this. I mean its fun, but she makes me walk in a straight line, won't let me pee on anything and there's a bunch of other dogs out there (some who don't seem too nice). Even Dad took me out for a walk Saturday.
We went up to see the horses again, there was a new person there to meet, Aunt Sarah. I'm pretty sure I've learned what "sit" means, I put but butt down and get food. I'm still trying to figure out "paw"... is she imitating a bird or what?! paw paw paw!

I'm a "dainty" sleeper

Week 10

Went up to "grandma's" again. I think the horses got smaller. There were so may treats for me, and new toys. But the horses got tired and I had nobody to play with. Saturday lots of fun people came over and I got to show off, which is my favorite activity. They brought the stupid red dot with them. I chase the heck out of that thing and still I can never quite catch it.
I've dug an even deeper hole, I can almost snuggle all the way into it now.]
Dad started trying to order me around. It started with "sit", "bed", "stay" and stuff. Whatever, I just act silly and he gives me food.

Week 9

I've been in my new home for almost 2 whole months now, whew! time flies. Last Friday I met a "scottish deerhound" at the local park. !!! I thought the Labradors were horses... this guy was a giraffe.
I started digging when Mum and Dad let me out in the yard. They call it my "hole to china" well I say fine! I was just doing your weeding for you. Speaking of...stoopid thistles hurt. Dad got upset at my dirty 'socks' when i got all muddy.
The fluff balls downstairs moved topside, still not sure I like them. Also whatever those red flowers Bad Cow brought home need to go, they scare me and I can't go through the living room with them there.
Oh... and Dad stepped on me again. I'm one puppy, and I'm cute... so watch where you are going bad cow.

Dirty Socks!

Week 8

Not a lot changing around here. I've got a fluffy coat, mom won't stop trying to cuddle me. Ungh, she's a snuggler. We went to the vet AGAIN, they stuck some icky stuff up my nose thing time. Is this cuz I sniffed that other dog's butt? I promise not to ever again. The other day Mum let me out to greet dad and he started freaking out "she's loose!" does that mean he didn't want to see me?
The whole neighbor hood loves me, I've met everyone around here. I'm learning my name much better and Bad Cow even tried telling me to sit... I think that means to pounce him.
The weather have changed and Mum and Dad are wearing clothing that covers their ankles, how am I supposed to herd them now if i can't nip the ankles?
oh! and there's this red dot that keeps flying around my house. I can never catch it, ever. Any advice on how to get the darn thing?

Week 7

Too much grass not enough blog time, so this is condensed. Mum and Dad bought me a new force field, its red and it goes into the ground. So its kind neat that I can be outside, but why did they have to put it where all my favorite spots are JUST out of reach, can't I just get one...more... inch?
Monday Mum got out the "clean up my mess machine", she calls it a vaccuumm, i call it frickin' annoying.
Also might have eaten a chunk of rawhide, Mum and Dad keep watching my poop to see if it comes back out. That big thing I ate isn't going to come out back there is it? Its waaaay too big...
Mum and Dad took me to a park this weekend. Honestly walking in straight lines is boring so I took them on a much more exciting squiggly path.

Mine toys!

Day 33

Today was not such a good day. I spent a bunch of time here. Why don't they like it when I bite? I just don't get it. I think if I bark at the cage enough it'll let me go. So I like to bark and turn around and bark at each side of the cage. Juuuust so it know how dissatisfied with it I am.

Demon Dog

Day 33

Go Eagles!
Picture of that to come later. Mom wents crazy over that football thing in the morning. But then in the afternoon she kindly put on the dog show for me to watch.

I hope the corgi wins :-)

Day 32

A week late, but here's a picture from g-ma's house.

Sunny spots ROCK!

Day 31

Its Friday, Friday...

Breakfast with Dad.

Day 30

does she really need all that gear? wellies and a raincoat, you don't see me wearing no frilly raingear.

Day 29

Today was pizza night again, it came so fast! Fav day all week, CRUUUUUUUUSTS!!!
There was another guy here today (sooo many people!), this time it was somebody to fix the oil. All I know is mum was so happy to take a hot shower after the guy left. I think her tail wiggled, and she doesn't even have a tail. I don't get it, I get a shower everytime I go out in the rain and I don't complain.
Oh, and Mum was nice enough to put in a lake out back. Wheee. I got a new collar too, its pretty and orange, so I match the rest of the house now.

Day 28

Forgot to mention I'm 3 months old now! whoop!
Bad Cow came home from work early today cuz he missed me THAT much. Mum said he was sick so I tried to play with him. He didn't like that and "needed sleep". Boooooring. I met the mail guy again, he seems alright.

Day 27

Mum and Dad went off for most of the day to geocache. Dad always say's I'm going to be his little geocaching dog, so I'm not totally sure why they wouldn't take me with.
Later some people came over, which is super exciting. And it occurred to me that Mum and Dad were home on a "weekday", wonder why they didn't go to their jobs.

Day 26

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, what happen today? Well, Mom went outside a did a whole bunch of stuff. She got all muddy and dirty and didn't invite me to play with her.
I hung around with Dad, he was in the basement a bunch, which meant I had to see those fluffballs, who I DO NOT LIKE.

Day 25

Today was so overwhelming. First Mom and Dad went to a place called Shady Maple, and they came back smelling like bacon. Not fair.
Then they took me to the place where I get poked and prodded so much. But its also the giant land of toys, so i didn't know which we were going to. Turns out it was the poking place. Mum and Dad went in the little room with me, so I knew I was in big trouble. It turned out ok, and all the people in blue clothing made a really big deal out of me.
THEN we went on a long trip and stopped at this place that had horses. They were yellow and black and HUGE. At first I was scared but then I showed them who's boss. We had lots of fun playing together. I got to run around in a yard and dig holes...and eat sticks and smell sooooo many things.

Day 24

Hrm, today was kinda blah. Mom had less work today so she played with me an extra lot. Except for that time she kinda passed out on the bed for an hour. She seems to sleep a lot, but I let her go, she seemed all drooly and comfortable.
I got to play in the backyard a whole lot today, which is neat. The plants are really long in and some are taller than me. I like to pretend i'm in a jungle and stalk my prey. By which I mean Mom and I crouch and bite her ankles.

Day 23

Today was the big game. Mommy got me a shirt to wear. Its green and white and says eagles... how does she know I'll be an eagles fan? What if I root for some other team!?
Plus, who says I want to wear a shirt anyway. Bad Cow gets mad and says not to put clothes on a dog. I took off the shirt later in secret.

Day 22

Today was pizza night, which like I said, is fun, cuz they always drop stuff for me.
There was a rabbit and a giant moth in our yard tonight, which was amazingly fun to try and chase. Ok so maybe not a rabbit and maybe the moth wasn't giant but they were HUGE and i had to chase them or they might have gotten to Dad.

Day 21

Its been 3 weeks in this place. I'm pretty sure I've done my job of peeing on everything so that they know what's mine. I mean, honestly... if you don't pee on it, how will they know!?
Mum make me super yummy treats. Only... they didn't make my tummy too happy so she threw them out. On a bonus.. its pizza night tomorrow so I'll get lots of good treats from Mum. See the trick is, get under her feet so she trips and drops the plate.

Day 20

Today I am 12 weeks old!
Mom says i'm supposed to get smarter and learn things. Isn't she in for a surprise. Well... the swimming pool is gone. Mum and Dad spent all day in the dark again, which was silly. And they spent a lot of time cleaning up the pool in the basement. I got forgotten about, boo.

But moooooom, I AM holding still.

Day 19

Today is Bad Cow's birthday. I hope I have a better birthday than him. Mom and Dad were in the basement all night making me a swimming pool. It was pretty sweet. It was dark out all night, like its supposed to be...but then it stayed dark all day. Dad was moping about no electricity.
Some people came to visit me today, they were nice. But they took the pool out of the basement. Hey! that was my new play area!

Day 18

Well, nobody came today. All that cleaning and playing for nothing. Am I not cute enough?!
Dad said it was cuz of the storm. Meh, it rained.
Update: Ok i take it back! Its raining a lot! Mum tried to take me out in that, I'm not having it. If I wanted to get that wet, I'd take a bath. Plus..have you seen the rain!? I'll get blown away.

Day 17

Its Friday, Friday.
Today was exciting as every. Mum and me cleaned a whole lot, she said people are coming over to see me. She kept putting things down, and I helped her put things back in the right spot.
We kinda played a game where Mum threw something and told me to go get it. Why does she keep throwing it away if she wants it... why not just keep it? Whatevs.
I didn't go 'potty' in the house all day, go me!

Day 16

I (ehup). Do. (ehup). Not. (ickup) Like. (eickup) These (ehup). Hiccups. They are making me angry. Doesn't Mum have anything to help me?
That darn green and white shirt of her's is on again...is this going to happen EVERY Thursday? She gets all yelly and shouty and scares me.

I do NOT look like a cat.

Day 15

Mmmm pizza night, I like Wednesdays.
Mum took me out to help her garden. I made a big mess of everything and played in the dirt. I got super muddy and Mum had to wash me off.
Then we had a game of tug-of-war. I don't think Mum tried that hard, she just sorta held stuff while I gave it my all to get it out of her hand. Its not fun when she lets me win.

Day 14

I've been at my new home for 2 weeks. What an exciting day it was! There was an earthquake and it was a really big deal. Mum even lost me in the house for a while in the confusion. She kept saying that my "animal" instincts should have warned her. Meh... I slept, felt like a really big truck going by is all.
I do have a headache today thought. Last night Dad was playing with me, and he threw a ball under something, and I bumped my head really hard. Why would Dad do that to me, doesn't he love me? Bad Cow I'll get you for this.

Pppfbbt!

Day 13

Today I am 11 weeks old. Mum keeps rocking in a corner saying " I'll never have kids, this puppy is to much" Sweet, more attention and love for me!
Not much news to report, Mum and Dad keep trying to get me to go down the big steps. Duh, why would I do it on my own when Mum carries me.
They also got this spray that makes all my favorite chew toys taste icky. Now how am I supposed to chew up the foam on the sofa!?

Day 12

Mum and Dad hung out in the basement again a lot today, they made some furniture. I got to see the funny fluff balls. Not sure I like them... one of them squeaked at me.
I tried to help Mum and Dad... they weren't so happy. I think I did a pretty good job helping with the laundry.

Day 11

So, I'm pretty sure my Name is either "Luca" " Go potty" "No!" or "She's peeing on the carpet again"
Today was a fun day, I like the 'weekends' I get Mum and Dad to myself all day. We played a bunch inside and out. They only left for a little bit to go to Ikea and go 'geocaching'...aren't I more fun than that?

Day 10

Well that wasn't fun. I DO NOT like all the flashes and explosions from last night. The rain woke up Mum and Dad too, I don't think they were happy either. I kinda made a real mess of my cage...but I was scared! Mum and Dad were super nice, and they didn't yell at me though.
Today Mum's mom came down to see me, and I behaved REALLY well :-). I got out all my toys from my box to show her.
I met some furry friends in the basement. They were like chew toys that moved on their own! Or like 3 grey fluffy earmuffs. Maybe one day we'll be play buddies.

Day 9

Today was kinda boring. Mum sat and listened to her computer a lot. She complained a lot too, so i tried to bite her and get her to play with me so she wouldn't be bored... didn't work.
At night Mum must have had a lot of frustrations to get out, she kept yelling at the TV a bunch during football.
I did however go up a whole bunch of stairs. All the way, on my own. I had to learn how to do it eventually, Mum always carries me everywhere and I'm not THAT kinda dog. Mum and Dad made a big deal, as usual. If they are gonna keep giving me treats, I'll keep going up those stairs.

Day 8

Today Mum made all the plants in my bathroom shorter. Then she took me out to play and my feet got all green. I was not happy about that. The neighbor came over to see me, as I'm a bit of a celebrity around here, and he said that he could see me now. Was he making a short joke? I'm taller than the grass, hrmph!
The afternoon was pretty quiet, then Dad came home. Mum and Dad played doggie in the middle and kept my favorite toy away from me. I slept a whole lot too, but that's pretty normal. The big news of the night, or at least Mum and Dad made a big deal out of it. I went up a whole flight of steps. Preeet-ee cool I think. Downstairs still just ISN'T going to happen.
Its amazing how often Mum finds herself taking this picture of me, I'll be sad when I don't fit under there anymore.

Day 7

Mum left early this morning and Dad left too. And I was all alone, I was so sad. I gave Dad the best puppy eyes I could and he still left me? Maybe I'll do better at peeing outside and they won't leave me.
Dad came home around 'lunch' and let me out. Maybe he likes me after all! It felt like he'd been gone forever! We ran around and played and I ate with him, but then he had to leave again, so I gave my puppy eyes another shot.
UPDATE: Mum came home! She came home late last night and surprised us! Dad was really excited cuz he was tired and I was playing with him too much.
She even came home with a gift from my friend "Rocky". I haven't met Rocky yet, but I can't wait and I hope he's a cool dog.

Day 6

Today I'm 10 weeks old ( turns out Mum can't count, I was only 9 last week). Not much excitement. We waited for Dad to come home in his big blue thing. He was late, so I chased Mum around the yard a bunch. I slept a lot that night....
Mum told Dad how I'm much better at going in the yard. Honestly, new Mum and Dad talk about my poop too much. Then Mum said she had to pack, and Dad was sad and then I got sad too cuz she said she was leaving us for 3 days. Sad Puppy :-(

Day 5

Today was ok. Mum and Dad left me for a little while, but when they came back it was fun! Bad Cow started yelling about water in the basement and Mum ran to help. Which means.... they forgot about me! Its ok, I found lots of fun things to get into, like this fluffy white paper stuff.
Mum's also been giving me lots of treats when I go outside, but I kinda got sick inside today. Hope she wasn't too made. The pokey prodding people called, they said I'm healthy. Mum also put this goo on my back, which was icky.
Other than that, I played, I slept, I bit Mum and Dad a lot, slept.
Oh! and I wrestled with the funny black force field that holds me back. I found that If I run and jump it makes Mum fall over.

Day 4

Today was super amazing. Mum took me in the tiny black machine and I met so many cool people. They made a big deal out of me, and they should. Then we left Dad with those cool people and I went to meet Grandma and her family. They were pretty neat too, so many new people!
Then it was the sad part of the day, Mum took me in the little black machine to the really neat room with all the toys... only... she wouldn't buy me toys today. She took me in this room and some lady poked and prodded me. She even gave me a shot, I didn't even cry though. Mum always says she had to get lots of shots to have me, so I wanted to show her I could get shots too.
Then we left the room with all the toys and I saw my first thunderstorm at my new house. I wasn't even scared, I played with mum. Bad Cow was home a lot today... I don't understand why Dad doesn't stay where I put him. I had to clean mum's face today too. After dinner she was so messy I had to lick her face clean.
Like I said, I had a super busy exciting day. Mum is even starting to get how this puppy rules the house.

Day 3

I know steps! Mum carried me up and down a whole bunch, but last night, I flopped down one, and then another, and today I LOVE going up and down the porch steps. Up and down, up and down, so fun.
Today was a big day for me, we went in the big blue thing and then Mum and Dad put me in this big box with wheels and took me in this HUGE room. It had so many toys and smells! They let me pick out my favorite and then we went in the big blue thing back home.
I got this yummy toy and it has this special goo in it and I spent forever trying to lick out the goo stuff. Mum keeps getting super excited when I go outside. I still kinda like carpets, but maybe I'll keep trying this "outside" thing.
Last night was cool too, somebody came to visit me and play with me, and more people are visiting today too!

Day 2

Well, more sleep today and a LOT more things to bite. Mum keeps telling me "No" and giving me yummy things to chew on, but i prefer the strings hanging from the wall.
Now Dad...he's been my biggest problem lately. He's a bad cow and I have to herd him into place. He keeps moving from where I put at him and I bark (just a little) and he stay put. But then he tries to move again, and I have to herd him. Bad Cow.
Mum got super excited when I went potty outside, but today I prefer carpets to grass. She's also super excited about something going on tonight. Football? I dunno what it is, but maybe she'll be distracted and I can sneak a few treats.

Day 1

Well... ok so i had lots of plans to rule this place and something went wrong. I kept falling asleep, a lot, and everywhere. It was weird, one second I was playing and wrestling some bugs and the next minute I was waking up from a nap.
The other thing its this long black thing that holds me back. Old-mum would just nip at me when I got where I didn't belong. This thing though, its like...a force-field, I don't understand it, why can't I just run around. I'll put it on my to do list.
So Mum stays home with me all day, and Dad leaves in a big blue thing. He came back and I was so happy to play with him, I got under his feet right away so he's notice me. He has a magic toy that squeaks and we play a lot, but I still do that funny thing where I fall asleep during play. Mum also seems to say "No" a lot when I play with these strings on the wall.

The Start

Today I met my new Mum and Dad. They came to pick me up at my house and I was just so excited!!!
I didn't even have time to cry as I left my other mom, there were sooooo many smells, and new Mum and Dad got cheeseburgers on the way to new-home, I wanted one soooo bad!
I sniffed around new-home a bit, Mum and Dad were really upset when another black and white striped animal was in the yard. It must be since they know its my yard now.
They put me to bed and I slept so much cuz it was a busy day of new things.
Tomorrow I've got plans to sniff around the new place, and make sure they know its mine.
