My time at the Grandparents

Hi,
We went on another 3 mile hike this
morning. Again, very humid.
Last night the lady two doors up
(owner of the barking Schnauzer "Mike") came over to see me and
made all the typical comments.
We played "come" for a while (until my
tongue hung out more than usual). Several walks around the
building and then I wanted to crash... so I did.
We went to the XXXXX South's office
this am. Everyone (and I do mean everyone) just loved me and
several volunteered to take me home. Even the boss lady was
gooing over moi. Nirma was carrying me around for everone to
see. She said she had 5 firm offers.
Now I'm going to take a nap.

Today is a lazy dog day. We went
for a tow mile walk and I met a Great Dane and two Greyhounds.
It was real humid. But then it kept getting darker and now in
the afternoon it is raining. He and I laid down to sleep and
everything was fine for about 1/2 hour. Then we carried me up
stairs and she held me for about 20 minutes just rubbing me and
making me feel good. Then she took me into the bedroom and laid
me on her tummy. Later he came in and laid down too. At one
point I fell asleep again (updside down). Right now she's
asleep on the bed and I'm about 20 seconds from falling asleep
sitting by the computer. I think the rain is affecting everyone.
Zzzz

I seem to be adjusting to the Innovia
puppy chow. I finished my bowl today plus a little extra Innovia.
This morning I chewed through the wires on the barking dog. He no
longer does unless he fixes him with tape, connecting wires, etc.
We had an active evening last night, but I hung in there until early
bed time about 9:35 p.m. Both of them think I'm showing more signs
of learning routines. I generally sit down when told to stay. I
chase the ball but I don't always let it go when I come back. I
also run in the side and front yards, but don't go any further. I
like to chase after joggers when they pass me going in out
direction. And, I generally eat twice a day. About 1/2 to 1 hour
after I get up and about 5:30 to 6:30 in the evening. And, I still
like to be stroked under the chin, on my rib cage, on my back... in
fact all over. When I wake up, I like to be held and petted for
about 1/2 hour. I don't try to bite or even lick. I just yawn and
stretch.

I'm a little tired today. I had to go
to the bathroom, so he took me out at 2:30 a.m., at which time I had
a BM. My whole day was sort of screwed up yesterday. He went to
get a Pro Time and put me in the crate and didn't get back for about
an hour. We had spotty weather so no long walk yesterday. Then
about 2:30 p.m. I was put back in the crate so he could go to the
cardiologist. They both arrived home about the same time (5:30).
We played until I went to bed at 9:45. So all in all, I slept more
yesterday than normal, so that might account for my light sleep.
I'm getting better at sitting by the
door until they notice. So I guess that means they're getting
trained. I can also "stay" when told especially during the day when
he goes to the bedroom or bathroom. I can wait very good he says.
See you soon.

 I
was hoping they wouldn't show you this picture of me when I look
my worst. The water was warm, but it was still wet! Why they
laughed a lot I don't understand.
He and I went for a walk yesterday for
2.5 miles. We played a lot in the afternoon and when we were
coming in I spotted Jurnigan Hall (next door) and he came to
play. And then the lady in the next house came down and asked to
take me to her Schnauzer "Nick". He's a lot quieter than me.
Anyway we played outside for a while.
.
Sometimes it doesn't pay to be good.
When he picked me up at the groomers, I was really sleepy since I
had been awake since about 9:30 a.m. and here it was going on 4:00
p.m. Well anyway I was good. He even asked at the groomers and
they said I was good. Then when she came home and saw me, she
started laughing out loud. I swear she laughed OUT LOUD in the
garage and the driveway and continued for several minutes. I grant
that she picked me up and was holding me nicely... but still, she
was laughing out loud. Apparently he had called her on the way home
and asked her to pick up some film so they could capture my
cuteness. (They did take pictures for you). But cute and being
laughed at are two different things. I was kind of tired the rest
of the day so maybe it showed in my eyes, you know what I mean?
Like when people say you look tired.
On the other hand my hair is now
blond-white on my back as opposed to the picture below.
There was supposed to be a concert in
the park yesterday evening at 7:00 p.m. so we got ready to go. It
was rained out and moved to the high school, so we went down to the
path and walked a mile. While we were walking we passed a man
working on his bike and he said, "Watch out, I've got an attack dog
here"! The man said, "You don't look like a threat with a dog that
looks like that". I'm not sure what he meant but they both
chuckled. Later, on the same walk a couple of ladies stopped us and
said how cute I looked. Another lady who I saw once before also
stopped us and was very complimentary. Looking forward to seeing
you real, real soon.

We had a fun walk this morning. He
"led" going up the first mile, but I ran his legs off coming back
for mile two. I was really going fast. He couldn't keep up after
a while because I had him running.
Yesterday I helped him wash and wax
the car. Actually I was bored watching him do it, but there was
no other action going on. A lady who lives in the next building
stopped as she and her husband were leaving and opened the door so
I could say hi. She said I was sooo cute. She was happy to have
stopped and given me a quick petting. (It's something I just do).
So I didn't get much exercise
yesterday morning/afternoon. But I made up for it. Last evening
she said I was wild. I was having a good time "zooming". That's
what they call my wild abandon runs when I go at top speed around
my toys, under and around furniture, out the room and back in. It
should be more fun to do that on hard wood, don't you think. They
can't figure out why/when the urge to run hits me and I won't
tell.
Oh yes, there is one other thing. She
taught me how to climb the stairs. After I went up by myself (14
steps) called him and then they encourage me to do it again. Then
she was worried I would fall down and hurt myself. So no more
practice (ha, ha). She went up and I stayed down. A few minutes
later he called "Tenzo" when he didn't see me but by that time I
was at the next to the top step. I made that climb just for me.
I'm not too sure about coming down alone, but I can do it with
some help. Now when we're in the computer area he blocks the door
so I can't go up by myself. killjoy.

Hi,
I was good and bad again. I went
out at 7a.m. and did my business and then 1/2 hour later I had
to have another BM. I did try to alert him but I'm not good on
message sending and I had another BM in the hall. He said the
stool was semi-soft. Later, when they came home from grocery
shopping, I had another one and it was soft. They're not sure
if it's the food or not.
Since then I've been fine and feel
ok, except I'm sleepy now while I lay on his lap and let him
type this. In fact I told him what I wanted to say and I'm
conking out.
Since it rained last evening, I
couldn't get out much but that was ok. We played with the ball
and all my other toys. He has to fix the white dog (either
today or tomorrow) while she can watch me while he works on it.
Otherwise it is too tempting not to play with.
My molars are starting to come in
and my front canine teeth are getting real sharp and slightly
bigger.
We went to the bank yesterday and
she made me so excited I think I peed on the floor. Maybe not,
but, maybe too. She gave me three biscuit treats. They want me
to come back.
The picture above was one early
evening when we were sitting on the porch.
