I had lots of fun today!

Tiff and Nate got kind of mad at me today. When Nate left in the morning, Tiff was still sleeping, so Nate tied me up to the patio door, as they’ve been doing the last couple months. I really don’t mind this during the day, but I was bored, so I decided to chew on my leash, and it broke into two pieces!! I stayed by the door until Tiff woke up and went upstairs, then I followed her and laid down at her feet — and boy, was she surprised! She tied me back up with my other leash when she left, and I left it alone until Nate got home.

When Tiff got home, Nate put some food in my bowl, and then they tied me back up again, because they were taking one of Tiff’s old daycare kids out for ice cream for her birthday. I thought it was really mean of them to tie me up when it was time to eat, so I broke my leash again, ate, and also ate Tiff’s purse and some markers. When they got home, they were *really* mad! I had chewed through both of my leashes, so they didn’t know how to walk me.. I tried to tell them to take me out without my leash on, but they didn’t like that idea. Finally, Nate tied two of the leashes together, and took me out.

Tiff says that I’m going to have to go into my kennel again every day now.. I’m not happy about that. :( Nate’s going to be out of town all of next week, so I’m going to do my very best to be a good puppy for Tiff.. I don’t want her to get mad at me!

My first Fourth of July

Well, I had my very first Fourth of July today.. it was fun! We went over to a friend’s house, and there were lots and lots of people there, and a couple little dogs who didn’t really want to talk to me very much. Then, a dog my size named Marshall came, and we got to be tied to the same tree, so we played lots, and then laid down together for awhile. I also got to watch Nate and some of the guys play Koob - I really wanted to join in, but they wouldn’t let me.

After it started getting dark, we walked over to the St. Louis Park fireworks show.. there were tons of people there that I got to meet. I didn’t mind the noise of the fireworks too much, but the combination of the fireworks and all the people cheering was kind of overwhelming.. eventually I just laid down by Nate and Tiff, and Nate covered my ears and Tiff petted me - that was much better. After the show, we took a long walk back to the house (we were trying to avoid people, and ended up going a mile or so out of the way).. I was tired afterwards!

I think I’ll like this again next year.. maybe by then I will have learned enough to be off-leash the whole time!
