Thursday 30th September

This walking lark is great, except when it rains, that's horrible and I don't like it.  I've got a coat but that doesn't stop my head getting wet.

I've been to the beach loads of times and now I'm allowed to walk without my lead, I can run up and down, and up and down, and up and down the sand dunes and I never run out of energy, it's brilliant :-)

The boss lady kept throwing a ball for me today, that was okay, but seemed a bit pointless, everytime I brought it back she threw it away again!!

Saturday Sept 25th

I've had a busy week, it's a huge wide world out there.  I've been for something called walkies, wow it's fun.  There are loads and loads of things to sniff at, and I've met loads of new dogs.  Some are giants, but some are small, although none are quite as small as me.

I've also seen some things called ducks and swans, but they run away before we get chance to get close, and they float off on the water.

It's great being able to go out, but I get really tired, helps me to sleep at night that's for sure.

Thursday 16th September

Ouch, that was not nice.  I had my injection, then they gave me a microchip in my neck, that hurt a lot :-(  It's supposed to mean that someone will be able to bring me home if I get lost, or if someone dognaps me.  The injection makes me hyper at first though, I ran round and round the house like a loon.

Wednesday 15th September

A funny few days for me.  Yesterday wasn't the best, I had to be on my own for most of the day because the boss lady has a new job.  At least it's only one day a week though.  I managed to amuse myself with my kong and other toys.

I keep hearing them talking about another injection tomorrow, I can't say I'm looking forward to that.  Although it sounds like I might be able to go out of the garden soon :-)

Saturday 11th September

Haha, had them racing round after me today.  Lauren was tidying out her toy box and I kept pinching things :D  Went out in the car again today, I can't wait until I'm allowed to go out, it looks like there's lots of fun places out there to visit.

Friday 10th September

I've got a radio now.  It gets put on at night or when the boss lady goes to work.  It makes me feel a bit better, I don't feel so alone, so I've stopped crying at night now :-)

Had fun yesterday making Lauren chase after me when I pinched a tissue, in and out of the house, she was worn out at the end :D

Tuesday 7th September

Didn't have a good night, still don't like my crate, but I guess I'll get used to it.  But I'm pooped now.

This is me having a snooze

I've grown a bit now, I can get up on the couch by myself.  I can't get up the stairs any more, they've put a gate across there.  I can't understand why, it's not like I chewed anything useful.

Sunday 5th September

Not a good day today.  First the big black dog came over, I was just trying to play when she growled and snapped at me.  I don't think I want to go near her again.

Then the cat was in a bad mood, when I jumped on her tail she spun round and bashed me on the head.  I'm still chasing after her though, but she jumps up too high, just wait until I'm big.

I got a new squeaky toy, it's really loud and annoying, I love to squeak it :D

Friday 3rd September

I'm getting used to sleeping on my own now, I still cry a bit, but not as much as I used to.

The nasty man who stabbed me yesterday said it was okay for me to meet other dogs in the family who've had their vaccinations, whatever that means.

So today we went to visit two great big monsters, one black one, she was quiet  and just ignored me really.  But the big golden coloured one bounced about all over, knocked me over a couple of times.  But I got her back, I pinched her toys and hid them, she kept pinching them back though, it was real fun.

Thursday 2nd September

What a shock today, I was just started to get used to things when off we went in the car again.  I don't really like the car it swishes around too much.  But it wasn't for long, just a couple of minutes.

Then we went into this building that smelled horrible, all clinical and nasty.  There were some other dogs there, they were huge, like monsters!  Lucky I didn't have to talk to them, I think they would have eaten me.

But then the horrid thing happened, we went to see this man and he stabbed me in the back of the neck, and gave me some medicine to drink.  Ow that hurt, they said it's good for me, I don't know how they work that out.

Anyway, this is me sleeping, but this time I was brave enough to sleep next to the cat.  She's okay, she can be a bit moody sometimes and doesn't like to play much.  She jumps up on the side I can't reach when I chase her tail, I mean, what's wrong with that?

I also got this thing, which is really cool, I can sleep in there and no one else can fit in, so it's my little place all to myself.

Saturday 28th August

I don't care what they say, I don't like being on my own at night, it's just not nice.  Luckily the one called mum is a real softie, she let me sleep with her last night.

It's quite today, the two smaller ones (called children) have gone away for the weekend, so me and mum have been playing, and she's been telling me to come a lot.  I think that means I have to go over to see her, don't see why I should, but she gives me a little treat to eat, so if she's daft enough to do that, I'll keep on going over to see her.

I was on my own for a bit today, I didn't like that one little bit, mum said it was just because she had to pop out to Asda.  I'm not sure what an Asda is but it felt like she was gone for hours, she said it was just 10 minutes though.  I cried a lot when she was gone, and couldn't stop even when she got back because I got my self all worked up, I thought she might not come home.  But she did and gave me a big fuss, so I managed to calm myself down eventually.

Friday 27th August

That was a scary night.  Don't get me wrong my bed was all soft, and I had a nice teddy to cuddle up to, the boss lady (I think she's called mum, but she doesn't look like my mum) even put a nice warm bag underneath my blanket to keep me warm.  But I wanted my mum and my brother and sisters, so I cried a lot.  After a bit the little girl (she's called Lauren) let me sleep with her and that was nice.

I got up really early in the morning and woke Lauren up, she was pleased to see me, I could tell because she got up and took me outside so I could go to the toilet.  That was really nice of her.

I felt like having a proper look around today so I decided to try chewing every thing I could see.  Most of the time the people took the things away and said no, I'm not sure what they mean by that, but I reckon I can work it out soon.

I had scrummy porridge for breakfast, but at dinner time I had something they called Puppy Iams, yuck, I didn't like that at all, so I had a couple of nibbles and left it.  I heard the one called mum say that if I don't eat any tomorrow either then they'll get a new type.

This is me today, having a it of fun exploring.

My First Day

Today was my first day at my new home.  I was just minding my own business with my mum and brother and sister (I don't know where my other sister went, she went off in a strange car yesterday and didn't come home all night).  When suddenly a car arrived and a nice lady got out, I'd seen her before about two weeks ago and she made a big fuss of me then.  I was only six weeks old then, now I'm eight weeks so I'm pretty big and tough.

The lady went to talk to my mum's boss, then after a while they came to pick me up.  The new lady made a big fuss of me and let me see her car from the inside.  Then suddenly we were off, the car was bouncing about on the dirt track, I was a bit scared because I'd never been in a car before.  But pretty soon we were at a different house. 

Inside there was a girl who screamed in delight when she saw me, and a boy who was a bit older, they made a big fuss too.

I keep hearing them say this is my new home.  They are very nice, but sometime I wish my mum was here.  

This is me, I'm Sam, I'm having a snooze here, I like to do that a lot.
