Well it was the moment of truth, I had no idea what to expect. Were there any other dogs that I would have to share my space with, compete for attention with?? As much to my surprise absolutely not, I knew I was this family's first dog as soon I stepped paw into the house.
It was immaculate inside and out, no scratches or fur on the floors, the windows were sparkling and not a spot on that lawn....I couldn't wait to get my paws all over this place... did I mention there was a pool?!
I thought to myself, could it get any better than this??? And out comes the cat, she didn't look very impressed with me at all, but I knew if I played my cards right, we could be great friends. And we are...kinda...when she's in the mood she tolerates my sniffing every inch of her fur until I get her claw lodged into my muzzle and that awful sound bellows out of her, I know it's time to back off. I'm sure that one day she is going to need me in a desperate situation, whether it's another cat, squirrel or bird, I will be there to back her up and of course give her some of the credit!
The first few nights were rough, couldn't understand why these people were making me stay in this crate all night long while Belle (the cat) had free roam of the house?! Needless to say, 11 months later I am still in the crate at night (only a much larger one) and Belle is still roaming free.
My housetraining went very well, I never took a liking to those pads, I much rather go fertilize the beautiful oasis in my backyard, never in the same spot of course, that would be too easy on my family. I can promise you that when my owners were landscaping their yard, the thought of one day owning a dog never entered their minds.
They can't have many complaints though, I have yet to drink from the toilet bowl, never have I chewed the woodwork or ate through any walls.
Since I've been completely honest I might as well fess up to some of the things I have done over the past year, like the time I dug up the Hibiscus bush and ran across the yard with it in my mouth, or the time when I thought I was helping out by digging holes in the gardens and the time when I thought the Wii remote was my new chew toy. I assumed anything left out in plain sight was fair game...boy was I wrong.
Oh and I can't forget the day when the baked potatoes just came out of the oven, they smelled sooo good that I decided to do some counter surfing and helped myself to one, another dumb choice, I spent some time in my crate for that one.
Did I mention that I passed Kindergarten Puppy Training with flying colors (I couldn't have done it without my big human sis, Kailey) and I also won an award for Cutest Face at the Pet Rock Festival, surely all these accomplishments out weigh my puppy antics!!!
All in all it's been a great year with my family and for some reason I can't help but feel they would completely agree!!! Can't wait to see what the next year has in store for us!!!
Apparently the wolf is suppose to scare off the geese who like to come and "relieve" themselves all over his property.
Here you can see her broken paw, please excuse the drowsy eyes, she's on pain meds
Here I am keeping vigil by her side, note who's on the bed and who's not .....
Here I am on the lookout for whoever did this to my kitty...
I need to get me one of these!!! BOL!!!
Need I say more!!! Seriously, this toy is amazing!!! It's paws are raised, so if you have trouble picking up a Frisbee then you'll love this. Even better the paws glow in the dark so you can play fetch night or day. It 's made for the water in case you want to play drown the squirrel. I never get tired of watching it spin round and round in the air. So for all those times that squirrel taunted you in YOUR yard while you watched hopelessly from your window, this is pay back....real or not!!! 
As much as I love my new toys, nothing beats the Kong. I mean who couldn't love a toy that gives treats to you!? If only I could get my family to find the one with the rope!!!
decisions, decisions...
I'll have one of each please....
Seriously, how embarrassing, I look like a circus dog!!! I'll never find my one true dog dressed like this, blech!!!
Here I am opening my box of toys...
From what I hear, I now have to be watched with my new toys, I get a little carried away with them and tear them up in no time.
Oh, and did I mention...
I'm very stingy with my toys, I don't bark at anyone, I just like to be alone with them on my bed.
...still waiting for that birthday thing....I don't see anything coming!! I'm going to have to think of something to make the time go by, and I know just the thing!!! 
Playing with Belle!!!!!!!
Call it what you want...I just want that birthday thing to hurry up and come!!!
Uh-oh here comes mom, I'm in trouble now.
As you can see I forgot the "back away" part and took a big bite...oops!! My mom says I'm a real pain in the.......you get the point. Have a great day everyone, I'm going to try my hardest to stay out of trouble.
