brown
I met that big brown guy who drives that big brown truck the other day and he petted me! He was nice! I still had to bark at his truck because it was growling at me out in the street but the brown guy was happy to meet me and Holly, even though Holly was a little leary of him like she is whenever she meets new people.
Hey, what's up with dogs moving to Missouri? Why Missouri? Missouri's ok I guess, it's the place I know best, there's always plenty of stuff to pee on. But I've also peed on Illinois, Wisconsin, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia and Arkansas.
a new place
I don't think we're on vacation anymore.
We're at this new house now. It's like the house I lived as a puppy in but it's a lot bigger. It's old. And it's in the city. And I think we're going to stay here because those guys who took all of our stuff out of our country house brought it all back and put it in this house.
I didn't like moving. I didn't know why all our stuff was taken away and I din't know if I would get taken away, either. We had to stay in our little "peed-a-terre" for a week, where there isn't even a yard and it was a big deal just to go outside to pee! I developed a stress related "hot-spot" that got really sore and itchy and hurty and I had to take medication that made me really groggy. I'm off most of that stuff now but the hot-spot still hasn't healed. I had to stay at the vet's most of one day and I didn't like that at all. But I'm a bit better now.
Holly lost her appetite for a couple of days due to the stress of moving but she's fine now. I don't get that, losing ones appetite, what's up with that? I don't lose my appetite for anything even under heavy sedation. Nothing stops me from eating.
Our house here is big, it's got three levels but the backyard is small. It is real near the park I sometimes used to go to when I was younger and lived in the city and now I can walk to it at any time instead of having to drive. Now that I'm not so groggy I've been busy peeing all over it to tell other dogs that I'm back but the park is so big that it might take years to pee everywhere. That's ok. It's good to have long-term goals.
Later I'll tell you about some of my new dog neighbors.
