Sun and rain

I am so happy to see the sun.  I do not remember the last time I saw it this beautiful.  I hate my allergies though. I do not like bitting my feet constantly.  It is so annoying.  There have been a lot of thunder storms this week.  I do not like thunder.  It is loud and I have few places to hide.  One of my safe spots is under my girl's bed.  I love it in there because it makes me feel safe.  There are some crazy dogs on my walking route.  they bark at my and some of them get in my face.  I am not comportable with those dogs.  One of my favorite dogs is named Raven.  She is a big black lab.  She understands that I am sensitive and listens to her girl friend on walks and when she is helping her outside.

What a mess

There has been a lot of people at my house lately.  Some times they are all dressed up.  My girl told me that it was because her sis is graduating high school.  I do not know exactly what this means but it sounds big.  My girl also told me that her extended family is coming into town for the big event.  I have not met them so I am a little nervous.  The other day My girl took me for a walk with Lilly and Big mama.  Big mama wanted to talk to the neighbors so my girl told me to sit and stay.  I love and trust my girl so much that I did what she told me to do.  She rewarded me by letting me run.  We ran all the way home from the other side of the street.  It is the longest and fastest I have ever run.  She was so happy with me that she gave me two treats.  People have not been feeling well around here as of late.  Big mama was gone a long time and my girl looked worried.  I can smell when someone is not feeling their best and big mama reeks of it.  I am hoping she feels better soon because I love walking with her and when she calls me Ellie Bockashnelli.  It lets me know she cares about me and my girl.  My girl has been trying to teach me something.  She says "High Five" and I am supposed to do something.  I do not know what it is but it has something to do with the fact that she gently takes my paw in her hand.  I am not comfortable with this idea. 

Busy Busy Busy

I have been busy lately. The other day my Girl's friends were over for our first bash at my house. I did not bark my head off at any of her guy friends which I always does. I was happy about that. To make the night better I jumped on the couch with Big mama and kissed her all over. My girl was so happy that she gave me a yummie I rarely get but love so much. I just like to be shure that no one is going to take it from me.  There was a lot of commotion these past few weeks.  It is sunny so they let Lilly and I outside a lot.  I do not understand what I am supposed to do outside other than what I do.  I hope I find out what all is so fun about staying outside for long streaches of time.  Till I can get back to writing more here is what is happening now.  Love Ellie.

What a walk

My girl took me for a very long walk today.  We went to a different walking ground.  I was so scared but I faced all my fears.  The first thing I saw was a very big dog.  I hid behind my girl and kept walking.  Then she wanted me to cross a busy street.  I hate cars.  They are too fast and too big.  I used to stop dead in my tracks when I saw or heard cars drive by.  This time I just kept on walking.  A little yorkie puppy came up to me and said hi right in my face.  I normaly do not like this but I understood that he was a very small puppy so I did not protest.  I was just happy that he did not want to play.  My side has been bothering me lately and i did not want it to get worse with a puppy playing rough.  My girl pet us both and found his mama then we kept on going.  A big dog ran towards us barking madly.  We were so scared but just kept on going.  I also met a very well behaved airdale terrier.  He wanted to say hi but I was not ready to meet another big dog just yet.  When we got home my girl gave me a treat, love, and food.  Now I am going to see what this amazing smell is.  It is coming from downstairs.  It smells like cooked meat and flowers.  I think a friend is here.  I hope she gives me some meat.

I missed my girl

My girl and Dada went away for the weekend.  She told me she would only be gone one day and one night.  I missed her so much.  I did not want to hang out with the family who stayed.  They fed me and took me for walks.  I still missed my girl.  I was very moppy and sluggish.  When my girl came home I was so happy that I danced the rest of the night.  We played the stair game.  I layed on her lap as we watched a movie.  I followed her all night.  I was happy to sleep in my bed in my girls room again.  Last night I slept in Sis's room.  Lilly was not happy with this arrangement.  I was not that happy either because I wanted to sleep in my corner with my girl watching over me in her bed.  I attacked my girl with kisses and let her hug me.  I know she missed us all while she was away.  She told me of her adventures.  I can not wait to hear the new music she told me about.  The main band was her favorite band called AFI.  They are not my favorite.  My girl loves their music a lot.  I prefer Motzart.  His music makes me smile.  Time to eat.  I smell Big mama cooking.  Hopfully I can have some.  I love cooked meats.  Big mama is an excellent chef.

I've got sunshine

What a beautiful day.  It is sunny with some cloud cover.  It is warm and the birds are singing.  A day like this can turn any bad dog into an angel.  My girl woke up early.  I followed her outside for our rutine.  Then I whent straight back to bed.  Later her sis came in to check on me.  I rolled over so she could rub my belly.  She let me and Lilly outside to play.  I am not used to the idea of playing outside.  It was fun but we made a mess of the house.  Sis had to clean up after us.  I hate the vaccume so I decided to face my fear and stay downstairs till my girl came home.  When she did she fed me brunch.  She went upstairs to eat her food.  I followed her up when I was finnished.  We went for a walk after some relaxing time.  I met one of the neighbors on our walk.  She was very nice and pet me behind the ear.  That is one of my favorite spots to be rubbed.  Now I am happily chewing on my rawhide till nap time.

The park

My girl took me to the park today.  I walked up to a nice, old lady who pet me when I greeted her.  She told me I was pretty.  I also met a puppy who wanted to play.  I just wanted to run away and hide in my bed.  I followed my girl around the rest of the day.  Now I am chewing on my rawhide till bed.

New toy

My girl gave me the strangest thing today.  She says that it is a toy.  It feels good in my mouth but smells odd.  She placed some food inside it and I am trying to get it out.  It is driving me crazy because I want the food and it is taking forever to come out.  My girl took Lilly and I on a walk together.  Lilly is not used to my girl walking her so she missbehaved.  I did not want to go because it was so cold but my girl strongly insisted on me going.  I just wanted to go inside and play with my new toy where it is warm.  I like the warm house I live in.  My girl also gave me a new sweater.  This helps keep me warm and I feel so pretty when I wear it.

School day

My girl took me to the store today.  I was able to meet new friends.  She showed me where all the treats and rawhides are.  We attended a class on social skills.  The teacher told my girl new ways to meet friends and introduce me to her friends.  We played games and I watched the puppys rough house.  The teacher dog was very calm and very pretty.  She told me I was a good role model for the other dogs.  My girl let me pick out two rawhides because I was so good.  She then took me for a walk around a big building with lots of cars.  My girl told me that this is where Mama works.  Dada took us home to pick up Lilly and take us to the park.  I love the park because there are lots of different smells and sites.  I came home and ate dinner.  Now all I want to do is sleep.

Play therapy

I have played all day.  I taught my girl how to throw a flat rawhide disk in the air then chase it and chew on it.  She needs some major practice.  My fur is growing in nicely.  I am not so cold outside now.  My colors are showing up more each day.  I am mostly white but I have patches of light brown and grayish black.  I am having trouble understanding what my girl means when she says things in human.  She says "Come" a lot.  She also says "Good girl" which I love how she says it I just have no idea what she means.  Sometimes when I follow her and she says these things she gets very excited and happy.  I like all the attention.
