I got the itchies and new toys!!

My tummy was itchy me lots and I don't know why but it was driving me crazy this morning and making me whine.  My hooman said she would take me to something called a vet.  Not sure what that meant but if it will get rid of the itchies than that would be great.

I slept this morning while mom went to work.  When she got home I hadn't had an accident and she was so happy.  I think I'm getting this potty thing down.

I got to go for a car ride.  I wasn't sure at first if I liked it but we picked up the other male hoomans so I got lots of hugs and cuddles so after a little while I figured out that car rides weren't to bad.

We went to the vets.  I was a little nervous but everyone was so friendly, wanted to pet me and told me how pretty and sweet I was.  The vet was nice even if she did poke and look at me all sorts of weird ways.  I have a skin infection on my tummy so I have to take some medicine for a little while until it's better.  She also played with  my knees which I did not like.  I guess they are funny looking or something cause they want to look at them again and she said something about "watching them long term cause I'm going to be a big dog".

After that were treats and more car ride.  We went to the pet store where I got adopted from.  Again so many pets and kisses and cuddles.  I even got to smell a couple of other dogs and according to the younger male hooman, I'm a chick magnet, whatever that means.  I got some new chew toys, a bone and some treats. 

I'm about the lay on the floor with the younger hoomans.  They are fun to hop on and they giggle a lot.  I like that and I think mama likes to see us all together.  I'm going to sleep so much tonight.

Can't wait for daddy to come home for more cuddles and playing.  I'm a very lucky puppy!

What is the Work word?

My hooman mom is using the word work but I don't know what it means.  I don't think I like it though because she doesn't sound happy when she says it.

So far day 1 in my new home has been fun.  We went out lots and I got lots of praises for going to the bathroom outside.  I don't have the heart to tell the hooman that she sounds slightly looney when she does that high pitch squeal but it seems to make her happy so we will let her continue with it.

I took another walk, I chased the hooman and a couple of the furry ones through the house, and chewed my bone for awhile.  I'm feeling sleepy and that doggie bed looks pretty comfy.  Mama says that's where I can stay while she is at the work thing and that's sounds pretty ok to me.

My tummy is very full, we mixed some yummy wet softer food with the bigger kibbles and that was so good that I gobbled up a lot.  Mama seemed to like that.  So far I seem to have this puppy thing down and I think I landed in a good spot.  If only the other furry guys wouldn't look at me like I was an alien.  Doesn't this guy realize that he looks silly?

I found a home

Hi!  My name is Ruby and this is my adventures as a puppy and training my new humans.  I am 10wks old.  My doggie mom was a Golden Lab but they don't know who my dad was.  I seem to have a little bit of everything but I think I make mutt look good!!

Many people think that they pick their pets but it's not that way.  We pick our families and I picked a very nice family yesterday.  I know the moment I saw my hooman mom that she was for me and thankfully she agreed.  All I had to do was walk over and sit down and look at her.  There was also a really nice kid there too who seemed to like me too.  Then there is the hooman dad who is pretty cool too.  They bought we a really pretty pink leash and it makes me feel really girly to wear it.

They brought me home, wow, big house, and what are those other furry things?  They have four legs and fur but they don't smell or move like dogs.  I want to be friends but they don't seem to like me yet.  They keep watching me and I will keep trying.

I'm trying very hard to learn to go potty outside.  It's a lot of work to remember but thankfully the hoomans here seem very patient.  I really love the hugs and kisses I get when I do it right but they never yell or hit me when I have a accident.

They made a really nice bed for me to sleep in last night and it was so warm and cozy.  I woke up though and it was dark and I got scared.  None of my brothers or sisters were there and I couldn't find my hoomans.  I let out a howl that I didn't even know I had in me and there they were to reassure me.  We went outside even though it was dark and there was something that the hooman called rain.  I didn't like that all that much....

We came in and I really tried to snuggle in the doggie bed but I was lonely so they brought me way up high into what they called a bed.  I was able to snuggle between the two of them and I slept so much better then.

This morning was busy, we went out twice but I forgot about potty outside but I will try again.  We went for a walk again in the rain.  I still don't like it but the hooman talked to me as we walked.  I was very cold when we came in but she wrapped me in a warm towel and wiped the rain from my paws and belly.  She gives lots of kisses. 

I played and tried to be friends with the other furry things this morning.  One of them is silly, he is all sleek and not very big but then he puffs up his fur and his back half looks so big.  It's supposed to be scary but I think it's funny.
