Pupdate from the Crate: The Best Wolf Show Ever!

Hi everyone! I did something wonderful last night!  I watched a wolf on our TV!  I watched the whole movie but it was so late that I took naps during the commercials. I LOVED that show!  I watched it with my whole body.  My ears and tail and eyes were all working as I watched the wolf grow up from a puppy to a mommy wolf and sometimes she was in trouble and I had to sit straight up if she got into a fight and help her with my energy. 

Mom and dad watched me more than they watched the wolf movie.  Maybe they never saw a dog watch TV, I don't know, but I LOVE that show!  I sat right straight up when the wolf was pouncing on a squirrel and was screaming in my head get 'em! get 'em or you'll starve to death! And she got a squirrel and could live to have puppies.  I don't know what happened because I watched it for almost an hour and my mom said it was bedtime and I had to go to sleep.

One time, I was watching so hard, I drooled all over the floor!  I was on the sofa, with my front paws hanging off so I could sit up or lay down super fast and the next thing I know, I'm like a zombie sitting perched up staring at the TV with my mouth open and spit just drooling out.  I heard mom and dad laughing and it snapped me out of it.  I think maybe I got the hots for the she-wolf but I just was in a zone so I really don't know.

Mom says she's going to let me watch another animal show soon and maybe I can then get a TV in my crate.  Uh.  Maybe, you never know.

I've been busy digging a trench around my horse pad in my pen.  It is a big black rubber pad used for horses that mom put in the dog yard so that Bailey and Emma didn't always lay in dirt and so that it got warm fast in the winter time.  They LOVED outdoors so much they got fussy inside and their dog yard is sweet!  But, I think their might be something under there so I'm digging around it.  Then, my feet went off track and started to dig under my dog yard fence, which isn't OK with mom and she is looking for something to put there so I don't escape.  I also dug up and chewed off a giant root from the tree and it plays with me!  We play tug and zoom!  That tree really holds on tight and when I get all wound up from tugging, I get the zoomies so fast that sometimes I fall down and spin and knock into things.  I'm so fast, I'm not even used to my own powers!

Inside, when I need to chew, I love this toy and now that I've figured it out, I can get the rings right out faster than anything!  It used to take me 10 minutes to figure it out, but now I can do it in 2!  When I'm done, I run right back to mom and toss it at her!  Yep!  I drop it like a hot potato and give her the look - fill 'er up mom!  and sometimes she does but sometimes she puts it away.

I am getting smarter and smarter and mom is working to find ways to keep me busy.  She says she is more tired now than when I was a puppy puppy and now that I'm 8 months old I'm almost a teen ager and she is trying to teach me quiet activities like reading and puzzles, and stuff where she can sit on a chair and point and I do the rest.  Well, I'm not liking those games real well.

So the other days, I did these things:  I took a shower with mom but I didn't know it was going to happen cause she was in my cool tile place without me and when I went in there with her, stuff was tapping me on the head that I could not see, the floor was all wet and it was steamy.  It was interesting, but I like my cool tile place better when mom isn't in it with me. 

Then, I ate roast beef and it was the BEST EVER and I even got it myself while mom was cleaning the dishes and kitchen.  If I hadn't been making such slurpy noises in the family room with my hunk of beef, I bet she'd have never missed it cause there was so much on the leftover plate. . . .

And do you know what?  We got this thing that makes the air and ceiling smell like food!  Yep, when it is on, I smell the best smells coming from the ceiling!  I walk all over looking for the food, but I can't find it!  Somehow, this new cooker thing puts smells way way up in the air like nothing else and then suddenly, they are gone!  but that is where the roast beef came from and I think I like it!

So everyday I'm busy with new amazing adventures, doing my training things like twirl, crawl, stay, and doing something new called "shedding all over" which I never knew about and makes Oreck come out a lot and I can't help it cause I just stand up and a big ball of fur just flies off of me in a cloud and sticks to everything but mom is adjusting - sort of- cause I give her my ears back-eyes wide open lovey dovey look and she calms down!

Today is an Oreck and Sawyer day and my day to hide on the patio.  Sawyer is walking now and can hold stuff while he walks and can even throw things while he walks.  What a scary little thing!  I saw two of them in the park the other day and one was super cool trapped in a wheely-cage and I like that one, but the one who was NOT in a cage came right for me trying to touch me and I can't have that!  They are too wobbly on their own little legs and so squeally and they open their mouths so I know they are going to bite me.  I know I only like them when they are in their cages. 

So, I'm going to have the BEST DAY EVER and stay away from Sawyer and Oreck today.  I love my mom and she loves you so I do too - so long as you are not a Sawyer-baby-puppy.
