My Den

on Oct 12, 2015 in My Life Now

Mama and BFF bought me a den. It was too small. Even though I’m a toy, I’m tall. I couldn’t stand up in it. So they bought me a bigger one. This one is the right size. But I’m scared of it. They put my food in it, but then they tried to close the door while I ate. I had none of it. I have these dreams, or memories, or something, about being left in a room like this. Even though Mama was sitting right there, I still didn’t like that the door was closed. I wouldn’t eat until she’d opened the door, let me out, and snuggled me for awhile. This is going to take some...

I want to tap!

on Oct 8, 2015 in My Life Now

  Shadrach talked about how much fun tap looked. I’m even more fascinated than he was. When the kids and Mama dance, I get right in on the action. My favorite is when they start moving around the floor making lots of noise. I want to do it too! I haven’t quite gotten stepped on yet. It must be a sign that I’m made to be a tap dancer!

Barking

Shadrach had a reputation for barking. The whole neighborhood heard him protecting the family from dangerous predators who would dare to walk down the sidewalk behind our house. I thought it was my job to take that job over. Unfortunately, my family finds my bark hilarious. My growl is intimidating for my size, but my bark…isn’t. Anyways, they’re also realizing dogs can learn better behavior. And guess who gets to be the guinea…dog? Yup. They spray me with water when I’m barking now. I’m getting the point. Mama tells me about Buffy, this mythical dog who was too stupid to learn anything. Apparently Buffy didn’t mind getting sprayed and would end up with a completely drenched face, and still bark. I’m not that stupid. I’m figuring it out. They don’t need my help. The neighbors don’t mean any harm. It’s making the...

All the Things

I want to try everything. Reputation has it that Shadrach wasn’t fond of veggies. I’m sure it’s just that he never tried them. Since I moved in with Family, I’ve tried zucchini, cucumbers, scallions, carrots, and yesterday mama (accidentally) let me have an uncooked noodle. Then there’s whatever Sunshine leaves on her plate (I love that she always forgets to clear her dishes! She’s the only one looking out for me) And do you know what? They were delicious! Well, with the exception of the scallion. I passed on that one. Lately I’m expanding my horizons even more. Mama’s pot holders were a yummy cotton yarn. She gets really mad when I try her camera strap, so I’m not sure yet if I like it, but I keep wanting to try. I’m a big fan of whatever clothes Princess leaves on the floor. Socks are equal parts fun and a snack. I wonder...
