Now that I feel safe I can let my real personality shine really show off who I am inside. My foster family says I'm a little crazy at times but hey, I just like to have a good time okay? For example, if I see the other dogs playing outside the window I LOVE to jump on and off the bed and run in circles full of energy. Not because I want to play with them, oh no I really don't enjoy other dogs much, but seeing them run makes me want to run and I just can't help myself!
Oh and on potty breaks and walks I know there is a kitty outside somewhere. In fact it's the only thing I can think about once we get outside! I've seen him a dozen times and he even comes up to me asking me to play, in fact he gets right in my face so I don't understand why I can't just chase him like he wants me too!!! My foster mom says I am a little too excited and that the kitty just can't handle a play date with me. Well, if that's the case he should stop asking, that's all I'm saying!
Oh and there is a bird in the other room, oooh if they would just let me chase him around his cage I would be much happier. But they put these plastic things in front of me and called them gates, saying I am not allowed to scare the bird. Scare him? why I was just trying to play - but the plastic thing sits solid and I won't dare jump over it or knock it down. I mean after all they did ask me to stay on my side of it and I really love my family so I like to do what they ask.
There are a lot of other doggies here in this house. I can see them through my plastic gate, and sometimes they are out back in a wire thing they call a fence. I don't really bother them much and prefer to mind my own business. I don't need to bark at them or act bully. I just quietly do my thing and they do theirs. But we tried to let us be friends, the doggies really make me act crazy and I just don't know what to do with myself if I get to interact with them! So we all agreed there is nothing wrong with me chosing to not play with other doggies - especially since I don't try to bully them or chase them off!
But doggies aren't the only thing running around here all the time. I heard my foster mommy say we would have extra kids for a while because her friend's house caught fire and they still have to live in a hotel. I don't know what a fire is or a hotel but I certainly learned what extra kids are!!! There are a bunch of "teen girls" they are called running around giggling and doing all sorts of weird things, but I like all the attention they give me. There are a couple of kids that really make me anxious and I can't remember my manners. My foster mom says it's because they are toddlers and toddlers have a bunch of energy and it's okay if I don't want to play with them. That was a BIG relief too cause I really don't like being to close to them toddlers.
And finally, I have felt confident enough to let my family know exactly what I do and don't like going on in my space. Like this noisy "vacuum" thing my foster mom says keeps the floors super clean so us doggies don't make each other sick! All I know is it's loud and I don't like it one bit and I'm not afraid to tell you how much! But even then if my family wants me to sit and pay attention I will gladly do so ... what else can a guy do when he lives the easy life??
Well that's all for now. Until my next update ... have a great day!
