Missing Adventures and Having My Own

on Jul 20, 2015 in My Life Now

My family went on an adventure. Without me. They said I don’t like the car enough to drive 2 hours. (only sort of true) They also said I would have eaten the cat at the house they were staying at. (okay, that might be true. It’s hard to take the “guard” out of this guard dog.) It’s hard not to worry that they really just didn’t want me this weekend, though. They brought me to a lady’s house. She was great, and she let me play with a dog with a lot of energy. There were other dogs she wouldn’t let me near, though. She was worried I’d attack them, I guess. She was sweet, but I wanted to be home. Maybe I can be so well-behaved that they won’t make any more trips anywhere, and instead stay home with me, the way it should be all the...

Guard Dog: An Update

on Jul 17, 2015 in My Life Now

Last week I told you about the “bobcat” and my humiliation. Turns out, I had nothing to be embarrassed about! That “bobcat” might have acted all tough, even to BFF, but when he’s crossing our back wall, if I go outside, he runs! No more strut across the wall. I won! I did it! I am a good guard dog! I’m such a good boy.

Early Risers

on Jul 15, 2015 in My Life Now

I used to be a night owl. Early rising was for the birds. (get it? for the birds? HA!) But the longer I’ve lived with Family, the more I realized I needed to change. BFF and Mama get up very early. They say it’s their “hustle” time. I don’t know what that means. I just know that I missed out on lots of greetings and snuggle time before I started getting up when they did!

Rules of the Road

It’s very important to know, and follow, the rules of the road. For example, you must sniff both ways before crossing the street. I know Boy has this one mastered, because he mentioned it on our walk today. I’m so proud!

Guard Dog

on Jul 10, 2015 in My Life Now

Behind our yard is a brick wall, and behind that wall is a sidewalk. Hundreds of dogs (or maybe just 4) get their daily walks on that sidewalk, hundreds of cats (or at least three) walk daily across our brick wall, and thousands of squirrels (or maybe two) climb up and down the trees back there every single day. As the family watchdog, it’s important that I let all of those millions of animals know who’s in charge, and that they’d better not try to mess with my family. So I ask to go outside, where I can show them who’s the boss. We won’t discuss the bobcat who threatened my territory. Mama says I’m overreacting and he’s just a mean old tomcat. He’s too mean to be a tomcat. Gotta be a wild bobcat.
