I went in the back garden regulary, and then they showed me the upstairs of the house. I didn't like it up there much and then kat put some food in this big bed thing, I went in to eat it , turned arround and i was shut in, the lights went out and i cryed for half an hour and no one came so i went to sleep. At 12 am an alarm went off and katrina let me out, we went down stairs and into the back garden, i went to the toilet and then in and back up the stairs again. Again i went in my bed for the food that kat put down for me and agin i turned round to find i was shut in, so i cryed agin but no one come so i went to sleep. The alarm went off again at 7am and this time Chad let me out and took me out side for the toilet. I stayed down stairs with him for a while and then we went upstairs to wake kat up.
19 Jan 04. I had my breakfast and played a bit with my toys, i really enjoy play bitting katrina, but she keeps yelping, so i look at her and just carry on, but now she puts my harness on me and restrains me for a bit , she also keeps giving me my bustercube to play with but its not as fun. Today i had a look at one of the cats i live with, the black one sue was on the couch, i kept play bowing to her but she just hissed at me.
20 Jan 04. Today my owner Katrina put me in the car, i winged a bit as i don't really enjoy it, but it was only a short ride and then we went into a strange place, my owner Katrina was fussing over people that came in, i was'nt allowed right in, so i cryed a bit but no one took notice. Then a bit later my other owner Chad arrived and soon after he was carring me to the car and on our way home. When we got home i was really excited and played for a while before having my dinner and a long sleep.
22 Jan 04. Kat was getting our stuff together ready to go home from work when a lady came in the shop and she had a puppy with her, his name was Scrappy and he swamped me, I didn't like him getting this close to me so I showed him my teeth, but he still kept jumping on me, so i snapped at him and he soon calmed down then! We sniffed each other for a bit and then we played, Scrappy's tactics was to bound around, but i'm a good old fashiond wrestler! get them on the ground is the best way to prove your all powerful! so I grabed his foreleg and held on to it, dragging him off his feet. But then our owners put us on leads and Scrappy was taken away and we went home, that was it then, when I got home I was full of beans and wanted to play rough, but i got a bit of a telling of for play bitting.
26 Jan 04. My owner Kat keeps trying to make me do silly stuff to get a treat, she holds the treat in her hand so i can't get at it and expects me to do stuff, well if it keeps her giving me a treat i'l do it.
28 Jan 04. I went to the vets again today, the lady was nice so i felt comfortable, then she stuck a needle in my neck but i didn't mind that, what i didn't like was the fact that she held onto my skin. When I thought no one was looking I tried to chew her desk, but my owner katrina moved me away from it. Then it was back in the car for the journey home. Later that night my owner Katrina all of a sudden started to jump up and down excitedly yelling about something, she called me outside and kept saying "it's snowing" whats snow i wondered, as i went outside this could white stuff was falling from they sky and covering the ground, Kat was throwing it at me and i ate it, the net day there was ice all over the ground and i kept falling over.
Feb.04. It snowed again but this time i was allowed out init, mummy and daddy took me to the forest to play it was great. I have started walking every sunday with a pack of older dogs, there are 3 ridgebacks called Beda, Arnie and Blade and a lurcher called Jerry. I try really hard to get the better of them, but their so much bigger than me i always end up on the floor!
March 04. Now i'm bigger and heavier, i am able to hold my own with the sunday pack i walk with every sunday in the forest.
May 04. Daddy was walking me on milford beach when suddenly i had a bad pain in my paw pad, i dropped to the floor and looked and i had an 1 1/4 inch long gash, it was pouring with blood so i licked it but it just kept bleeding! daddy spoke to a passer by and used their phone to call mummy who was at work, we were a 10 minute walk from the nearest car park and i weighed 6 1/2 stone so daddy struggled for about 5 minutes carry me and luckerly the owner of the access road we were walking on allowed mummy to drive her car down and pick us up, they took me straight to the vets and i had 6 stitches put in.
July 04. On my walks now i always get the better of every play fight i have, i dont meet dogs as big and heavy as me, but they do out do me with speed and agility! I enjoy wading in the water to retrieve sticks. Mummy and daddy took me back to Anthea's farm where i was born, i met my sister Mimic who was very shy and my half sister Mopsa who was pregnant and a bit hormonal. I had my first bone, it was yummy, even if it was a bit old and manky. This month i went to the vets and woke up in a kennel all wobberly, mummy came and took me home and i realised i had been castrated, i whined with pain for most of the day and had to keep my lamp shade on for weeks as i couldn't leave my stitches alone!
Aug 04. Mummy Brought me my very own real bone, i spent hours outside knoring on it!
Sept 04. Sunday 5th we started walking in a different area of the forest with the pack, there was a pond there that was really deep and i swam for the first time! i did swallow alot of water! mummy and daddy were really proud! we have been quite a few times now and i really enjoy swimming for sticks.
Oct 04. Sunday 31st there are some new dogs walking with us regulary now, Rufus the ridgeback who is 11 months old, Rebel the border collie and Keisha a 4 month ridgeback, keisha really likes me and i like to play chase with her and sticks, i have a large stick and run away from her and she tries to get the stick off of me but she's too small at the moment to catch me so i win all the time, i tried to play with Rebel's sticks but he's possesive over them and went for me, well i dont take it lying down and gave him a bit of a boxxing lesson until mummy screamed at me to leave him alone, so we stopped fighting, but now my toe really hurts, i think i'l take it easy now, oh no Keisha keeps jumping on me to play but i cant cos my toe hurts too much so i keep shoving her away but she keeps on and on and on, then rufus jumps on me and i'm well grumpy now my toe still hurts so i give him a telling off and pin him down, then straight aftre Keisha jumps me and knocks my painful toe so i pined her and told her off properl;, maybe now she'l leave me alone, boy did i get a yelling at every time i told one of my friens off! and then the put me on my lead, its so unfair.we get back to the car and mummy puts water over my pwe and then puts me in the car.
Nov 04. 3rd nov. i havent been walked since sunday now and i keep making my painful toe bleed too. some load bangs happened aswell and i was so scared i tried to tell mummy but she just ignored it, how was she so brave! it was really scary i hid under the table!
