** from the desk of the dog **

so here i am again, stealing the computer so i can let all you wonderful people in on the life stylings of me...the stell dog.

this weekend was terrible. it rained all weekend. i didn't get to play outside once! no tennis balls, no chasing dad around the house, no rolling in dirt! and then, and then to top everything off, i had to go to class....

and it wasn't just normal training class....they put me in puppy class!! like in remedial class. i am not a puppy. mom and dad think i need socialization. i'm just a little shy. but such an insult! i feel like i know the basics, sit, down and come here. what else is there to know? i guess, i could learn roll over or shake or some other cool tricks...but don't they learn those in a non-puppy class?

and then there's a little clicker thing that makes the scariest noise! how am i supposed to learn with that scary noise? all i want to do is eat my chicken treats and hide under the chair!!

i get the feeling that that was not the last class, and that there will be more. i'll have to update everyone later. mom's home and i get to go outside!!

**** from the desk of the dog ****

i am soooo frazzled. this weekend was a whirlwind! i have never had so much to do, and lost so much sleep in my short short life so far.

on friday, we drove (i hate riding in the car plus momma yells at me the whole time for getting hair in the car, and i'm like, geez, i'm scared!) all the way down to montgomery. there's another dog there, phoebe, who mom and dad keep calling my cousin. i don't get it. but she's mean. she always growls at me and never wants to play, so to get back at her, i frequently steal her water and her toys from her room. i'm like hey, it's not like you're using them. so then we went to bed really really late. but i like this house, because the beds there are super high off the ground, and i love to sleep under there.

then we get up and go to auburn. and there's another dog there. except this one wants to play!! we have the best time! especially because we are left outside to play on our own! we chased each other and had a fun time!! then our people come home (way late....what were they doing?!!), and they're all loud, but this dog has a monster basket of toys. maybe one of these day, i'll get a basket full of toys.

plus i introduced them to the game of toy basket. it's going to catch on, i just know it!!
