Day 20

Ok I know it's been a while since I've written but Mamma was out of town for the weekend and I cant type without her.

I've been busy getting healthy and growing hair! Check out my latest photos!

I've also learned that jumping on people is rude so I've almost stopped doing that. I really enjoy the security and coziness of my crate at night so sleeping in there isnt a problem. I'm getting along well with the other dogs now, and even Kiki but she still lets me know if I bump into her.

I've really been into chewing things, I guess that's the puppy in me so Mamma went to the store and bought me lots of fun chew toys. Daisy stole one from me that squeaks but she really likes it a lot and carries it around with her everywhere so I told her she could have it.

It's almost the weekend! I'm looking forward to spending some fun time with Mamma. Have a good Thursday!

Day Eleven

Finally! I'm learning how to count! Now it's all starting to make sense. I was confused in that the number of days I had been here, was actually the same as the day of the month! But anyway, enough of that. I'm feeling really good these days. I get so excited when Mamma comes home from work, I do this little jump up with all 4 feet in the air at once! I run now too.. with the other dogs. Scooby is so fast but Daisy is still the most fun to chase, until she rolls over and gives up! I think I might play a little too rough with her sometimes but I'm just bigger and don't really know how strong my paws can be. Mamma is trying to teach me some manners and tells me that the real training on basics is to begin this week. I'm looking forward to that.
I still stay in my crate at night and out during the day which seems to be working out well. I finish a full bowl of dog food twice a day and it's really good stuff so I know I'm glowing. My skin feels great and the scabs are almost gone. I just have a little discoloration on my skin where there were scabs but that will go away once my fur is back. Soon I'll be a beautiful girl again!

Day Ten

Today is 10/10/10. How cool is that?! Now that I am so brilliant and I know how to count I think it's cool! Today was SPA day for me. I didn't quite understand what was going on when Mamma packed up my crate into her car, then packed me into the crate! I was very scared and started howling but then she put some cool tunes on, Flemming and John I think (I'm really into good music) and I was much calmer. When we finally stopped we were at the Atlanta Humane Society but I didn't understand why. I was really scared and didn't want to come out of my crate so I just dug my feet in and made it as difficult as possible for Mamma to get me out. Well, she eventually got me out and carried me inside where she put me on a really cold scale. My new weight after one week is 31.6. I'm not sure where I was but I'll have to ask Katie when I see her again. Then I got my toe nails trimmed. That wasn't a big deal at all and it feels much better when I walk now. Then Mamma and her nice friend that works at the shelter both gave me a bubble bath. I didn't like the getting wet part but with Mamma and Garrett there, I knew I would be ok. The part where I was getting massaged with soapy bubbles and warm water was nice but I still wanted it to be done with. Once I was rinsed well, They both dried me off and boy did I feel like a million bucks! All that dry itchy skin now felt and smelled great! Ahh.. but then I was put in a dog run for a few hours until Mamma was done volunteering. I was so glad when she finally came back to get me and Garrett carried me out to her car. I didn't say a peep on the way home. Back at home the other 3 dogs seemed like they really had missed me. That made me feel really good. Its a nice feeling to be missed. We all went out in the backyard for our daily roll in the grass before coming in for a nap. Ahhh...

Day Nine

How ya like this photo of Scoobs, the Old Lady n me! We were all barking at some bird that dared to fly in our yard! Check out Scoobs' ears! How can he make them do that!? LOL

Today Mamma spent a lot of the day at something called the Fur Fest for the Atlanta Humane Society. I know the Atlanta Humane Society is a cool place because they are the ones that saved me so I didn't get too jealous when she said she had to be gone. I just hung out with the other 3, we chased bugs, butterflies and rolled in the grass. I'm not much of a digger but I'm still crazy about chewing on things. It's just so much fun to see what everything tastes like and how quickly I can dismantle it. I never had any opportunities like that where I used to live. You cant really chew on chicken wire. I found a nice new pair of shoes to chew on but I didn't like it too much so I just chewed that top part of the back of the shoe. Mamma wasn't too happy with me so I had to do some crate time for that but I mean really, they were out in my reach so what does she expect!? LOL

Day Eight

Ooohhh! You just cannot imagine how nice the sun and grass feel together! Can you see my smile?





Today Mamma was in a great mood! She had her phone and kept saying it was Friday. I wish I knew the days of the week already. Today I'm discovering that it is so much fun to chew on things! I think my puppy personality is coming back. I tried Mamma's sandals, then the table legs, then settled down with the dog beds for awhile so I had quite a snow storm by the time Mamma got home from work. My skin feels much better now and it's not flaking as much which is good. I know quite a bit of vocabulary now, "no", "crate", "stay", "down" (although I still like to jump up on people, "roll over". I think I'm pretty smart! I love learning new things.
I'm getting along really well with the other 3. The one senior lady doesn't really like it when I jump on her so I try to avoid her. And the little rabbit dog still is so much fun to chase. I got lots of playtime in today!

Day Seven

Today was a fun day too! I took Mamma's phone out into the yard first thing this morning and left it there! It was so funny to watch Mamma searching for it looking under the bed, in the cat food bag, in drawers, in the trashcan, in the wash machine, in the closet, in the hamper.. Then she even got her mom and the little person looking for it! But nobody could find it! I hid it good and it was just outside! So funny.
I got to spend all day outside in the grass again which was nice. The little dog, Daisy is so much fun to chase. She's quite afraid of me so usually I catch up to her and she rolls over on her back. Mamma doesnt like it too much when I chase her but I think it's lots of fun. I mean, she's little and white, so she might as well be a rabbit, right?
Mamma was not a very happy camper tonight. Apparently the little person had something called a "touch" and he put it in his jeans pocket and then Mamma washed the jeans without checking the pockets.. um.. not a good ending to that story. I think Mamma is going to bed early. She's had a ruff day! haha.. oh I shouldnt be laughing.

Day Six

Wow! Today my energy came back! And my chewing! I was running around and prancing like never before! Ahhh. Life is great! I'm finally starting to itch less although when I shake my fur, Mamma says it's snowing! I was trying to chew on anything I could find - I didnt realize how much fun that is! But Mamma didnt like that too much. I did a little counter surfing again but I think Mamma is on to me as she doesnt leave goodies up there anymore. Oh well!
I actually invited Scooby and Daisy (that's their names) to play today. That was fun. Oh and Mamma got to work from home today so I had her there ALL day! It was so much fun. We went outside a few times during the day and she'd just rub my belly! Ahh that felt so good. She's a good belly rubber.
The little person came home again tonight and I just really dont like him. I mean, I dont want to bite him, he just makes me nervous. I'd much rather be in my outside bed in the COLD than in the kitchen with him. Luckily Mamma didnt let me stay out there too long and locked me safely in my crate so he couldnt get near me. Hmm.. I wonder if I'll ever like him or not.
Other than that, all of my scabs have healed up! Wow! I'm amazed at how fast. And I think the colder weather is helping me to grow my fur back too. Mamma said I looked a little bit fuzzier today. I hope so cause it sure is cold and I need something to keep me warm! Well, it's off to bed. Mamma's locking me in the crate tonight so I dont get into mischief. Prob. a good thing. 'Nite!
