My Forever Home

When I got to my forever home, there were lots of toys, and people with their dogs waiting to meet me.  I soon found out that Agnies and Bob were my new roommates--actually, Agnies was my adopted, new Mom and Bob Barker was more like my dork brother.  I think I'm already smarter than he is.

In a few days, Mom and Dad took me to Home Depot and were very careful I sat on a clean towel so I didn't get any bad germs.  Everyone thought I was a German Shepherd but they got that straight right away that a Shiloh Shepherd was NOT a German Shepherd.  I bet if I had brothers and sisters, a lot of these people would want one the way they were oohing and aahing about how beautiful I was and how soft my fur felt.

Well, It wasn't long until the holidays were coming so Mom put some stuff around my neck called garland and was so excited because my ears were both up.  I'm not sure why they were that day, but it must have been a big deal (even though Mom said something about a pyramid).  It didn't last long, though 'cause it's really hard holding them up, so I didn't do it again for a while.

 

Last week I started Puppy School.  I'm not sure why 'they' think I need to learn anything since they always tell me how smart I am but I go just to make them happy.  I was NOT too sure about all those little Charmin-looking puppies and what's with the little, tiny one that would fit in a shoe?  I could carry that around for a toy but I really didn't think about it too much (I'd really rather chase the cats at home).  The cool part at school is all the treats.  I play stupid, they start giving me treats and when I think they're going to stop giving them to me, I do what they say.  This is going to be really easy.  Mom didn't seem too pleased because I didn't act interested in doing all the stuff we always do at home.  Maybe next week... 

Wow, there's this cold, white stuff coming down outside.  I can't wait to check it out.  Bob Barker hates whatever it is because he barks as soon as he goes out but that's what he does all the time anyway.  Agnies and I can't wait!  Here goes...

Last night was my second night of Puppy School and I rocked!  I sat still when the instructor AND the guy in the funny chair came by, then I walked on a loose-leash, then I did a 'Down' over and over and I waited forever for them to hold a treat up high and slooooowly bring it to my drooly mouth.  I also stopped jumping!  Yippee!  I probably don't have to go back I'm so amazing.
