aren't we cute together?



i was so happy they let me be in the family portrait.

adolescence

i'm five days away from being nine months old. this is my adolescent phase, so i've been doing naughty and totally uncharacteristic things like barking at nothing, waking up in the middle of the night from time to time, and stealing socks whenever i can get away with it. good thing i'm so cute or i would NEVER get away with it.

the trainer says i'll grow out of this phase around 11 months. i say i'll be naughty for as long as i can because life is more fun that way.

where i've been spending way too much time

for the summer, my mom and dad have "real" jobs where they're away from home for ten hours a day. i have a dog walker named terry who comes twice a day to take me out for 30-45 minutes but it makes me mad that i have to be in my crate most of the day and on monday night i got revenge by pooping on the guest bed.

mom and dad feel so bad about leaving me home alone that they've decided to get a chauffeur who comes to pick me up on tuesdays and thursdays. she'll take me to a special old victorian house and let me stay there with her and a couple of other furry friends. she's very nice and i love her already. plus i'm so tired after my days with her that i sleep like a baby while i wait for terry to come get me.

mom and dad still can't wait until they don't have to leave me for so long, though.
