Making progress...sorta

Welp, I'm confusing Ms. Kim as I still run away whenever Mr. Carl comes home but yet, I surprised her the other day when I jumped on the bed when he was laying there and even leaned over to sniff his hand. I also took some treats from him while laying in bed another time. However, I guess I still don't completely trust him yet as I still run or won't walk past him to see Ms. Kim. I'm still learning and they're being very patient with me!

No sleeping in!

I've decided that Ms. Kim does not need to sleep in on the weekends which she is not happy about! The others warned me but I have a mind of my own! My new schedule is to wake her up at 6am for breakfast, then we go back to bed but then within a couple hours, I get her back up! She kicked me out of the room on Saturday but I kept barking and howling and scratching the door that she finally gave up and got up within 30 min! YEAH!!

Two Dogsitters

Well, it's been a busy start to the new year for my family. Ms. Kim took a couple of weekend trips and we had two new dogsitters come to stay with us for a night and I did pretty good with them, if I say so myself!

First was Ms. Jodi and she was really nice! She grumbled something about the dissertation that Ms. Kim left her as if she didn't know us but Ms. Kim said it was because she just wanted to cover all her bases on me and it was also for the new girl for the next weekend! HEHE!! I don't think I require that much instruction but maybe so. When Ms. Kim got back she gave us special bakery treats from "Dog Dog Cat" store! Yum!!

Ms. Seana came the next weekend and she was really nice too!! She was so happy for that dissertation!! She said she loved being at the house with us cuz we were so calm compared to her two, it was like a vacation for her!! HEHE!! This time, we got new doggie toys when Ms. Kim returned.

Yappy Howlidays!

My foster mom wants me to apologize for her for not letting me on the 'puter much this month! It has been kinda crazy with all the howliday stuff! She promises she'll let me have more 'puter time now that things are getting back to normal.

First, I learned how to get up on the bed...finally!! This is the best thing ever!!! I love being up there with all of my foster siblings!! I even "snuggle" with Ms. Kim a little, that is after I get my mandatory scritches in!!

Second, Christmas was fun altho Ms. Kim put these funny red things on our heads and took pics of us! But after that we got presents and treats, more than normal!! She said it was Christmas so even the fur-kids got presents!! Woohooo!!! I like this howliday!! We each got a squeaky stuffie altho I acted "cool" and didn't show to much excitement at first but then when no one was looking, I took all of them and put them in my favorite spot!! HEHE!! We also got a chewie and for our special dessert, a frosty paw!! YUMMY!!

Lana was the designated gift unwrapper and she did a great job. Our grandparents sent us some wierd fuzzy glove thing that Ms. Kim said she needed to get our paws cleaned when it rains. She was excited! However, none of us were cuz it wasn't treats!! HEHE!!


Third, that guy, Mr. Carl keeps coming back for a couple of days and then leaving altho one time he stayed for a really long time! During that time we came to an understanding but I still keep my distance from him. I know in time, I will come to like him just as much as Ms. Kim, just give me more time!!

Well, that's it for now!! Hope all of my doggie friends had a great Christmas like me!!

Yappy Howlidays from me and my foster siblings!!

Snow inside?

Since my foster siblings didn't care for the snow outside, my foster mom thinks I decided to create some for inside so everyone could enjoy the snow in the nice warm house!! This occurred sometime after she kicked me, Mocha and Aurora out of the bedroom at 5:00 am as she was saying something about needing some beauty sleep and couldn't get it after being woken up by me 2 other times during the night!! She technically doesn't have any proof it was me as opposed to the other two so I say, "innocent til proven guilty"!

Snow in Houston?

Yep it sure did on Friday, Dec 4th at around 10:00 am!! It was snowing pretty hard for awhile and then tapered off in the afternoon. It surprised us all, most of all Ms. Kim as she kept saying the weathermen are always wrong!! Guess not this time!!

I was the only one that would actually go out onto the snow much to Ms. Kim's dismay. She said I was the only real snow dog among those there!! It was quite cold but it was fine...don't know what the big deal was and why my foster siblings wouldn't go out there with me! They did the next morning, maybe because it wasn't actually snowing. Who knows!! It was a bit soft and wet, and when it was falling, it felt like rain but that's about it!! I did prefer to be inside where it was nice and warm tho! It made my foster mom quite happy as she misses it from back home (Kansas). Of course, Mr. Carl wasn't so happy with it!

Busy weekend, new friend

These long weekend holidays are interesting!! First, Mr. Carl comes home, then he leaves and Ms. Kim has a friend, Ms. Jodi and her fur-kid, Dakota come over for the weekend. It was a lot for me to deal with! I did like meeting and hanging out with Dakota, she's really cool!! Ms. Jodi was nice too.

Sunday they had another person come over and they played some new game that was really loud with drums and guitar!! They were laughing and having a good time!! All of us fur-kids just let them be silly and didn't bother them, especially me as I just stayed outside. In fact, with the cooler night, I really didn't want to come in at all! Plus I was a little overwhelmed with all the new things going on so I was just more comfortable out there. Eventually Ms. Kim got me inside despite my efforts to stay out there all night but she said she didn't trust me to stay out there so I had to come in; she even carried me part of the way. I guess she's right as it was pretty quiet the rest of the night and it was nice a cool in the house too!

We were back to our normal schedule on Monday altho Ms. Kim was grumbling about having to get up and go back to work! I was good all day and with it being cold again, I stayed outside again!! I really didn't want to go back inside and I let Ms. Kim and all her neighbors know about it as I was a crazy boy running all around barking and howling!! Ms. Kim kept telling me to stop saying something about it being 10:30 at night and everyone was trying to sleep and I would wake them up!! Well, not everyone was asleep...she wasn't!! I eventually let her have her way and we walked in; she didn't even have to carry me in this time!

Hopefully the rest of the week will be quiet so I can get back to our routine. Ms. Kim thinks I took a little step backward but it was a busy weekend, lots of new people and noises so she understands why I might've been a little more scared than before and assures me all will be fine. I trust her and know it will!
