MY FIRST DAYS IN MY NEW HOME

JOY AND EXCITEMENT OVERCAME ME WHEN I AWOKE ON MY FIRST MORNING IN THIS NEW HOME AND REALIZED THAT I HADN'T JUST DREAMT THAT I HAD A NEW FAMILY AND A HOME OF MY OWN. MY PEOPLE STIRRED FROM THEIR SLEEP AT THE SAME TIME AS I DID AND I KIND OF WENT CRAZY WHEN THEY SMILED AND SPOKE TO ME. I DO BELIEVE THEY UNDERSTOOD MY UNCONTROLLED WIGGLING AS THEY BOTH KNELT DOWN AND HUGGED ME AND PETTED ME.

AS I DRIFTED OFF TO SLEEP LAST NIGHT I MADE A PROMISE TO MYSELF THAT I WOULD TRY MY VERY BEST NOT TO HAVE AN "ACCIDENT" IN THIS NEW HOME DURING THE NIGHT. I WAS TAKEN OUT TO RELIEVE MYSELF JUST BEFORE I WENT TO BED SO I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TILL MORNING.

MY PEOPLE HAD GIVEN ME A VERY COMFORTABLE BLANKET FOR ME TO SLEEP AND PLAY ON THE DAY THEY BROUGHT ME HOME WITH THEM. I LOVED IT AND MADE SURE ALL OF MY WONDERFUL TOYS AND CHEW STICKS WERE KEPT ON IT SO I ALWAYS KNEW WHERE THEY WERE AND WEREN'T UNDER MY PEOPLES FEET. THEY MADE A SPECIAL PLACE FOR ME TO SLEEP ON RIGHT BESIDE THEIR BED SO MY LADY PLACED HER HAND ON ME MANY TIMES DURING THE NIGHT TO GIVE ME COMFORT AND TO REASSURE ME THAT THEY WERE STILL THERE. I SURE LIKE THIS PLACE.

INTO MY THIRD DAY MY LADY BROUGHT ME THIS WONDERFUL PET CONTAINER AND I JUMPED INTO IT BEFORE SHE EVEN HAD IT PLACED ON THE RUG. I LOVE IT AND SPEND MANY OF MY NAPS HERE. A WARM SOFT BLANKET WAS PLACED IN IT AND NOW IT IS FILLED WITH COMFORT FOR ME.
ABOUT A WEEK LATER LIFE GOT EVEN BETTER WHEN MY PEOPLE DECIDED THAT BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN SUCH A WONDERFUL COMPANION I COULD SLEEP ON THE FOOT OF THEIR BED. THE FIRST TIME I JUMPED ONTO THE BED AND FOUND MY BLANKET THERE I ROLLED AND SQUIRMED ALL OVER IT IN COMPLETE JOY. I HAVE NOT BEEN ON ANY OF THE FURNITURE SINCE I MOVED HERE AND THIS IS NOW ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES TO BE. TO WAKE UP AND FIND MY PEOPLE THE FIRST THING EVERY MORNING IS STILL SO WONDERFUL TO ME. OF COURSE I STILL WAIT TO BE INVITED UP ONTO THE BED AND I ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL I AM TOLD TO GET DOWN IN THE MORNING.

I OVERHEARD MY PEOPLE TELLING SOMEONE THAT THEY CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW SMART I AM FOR A PUPPY. I GO TO THE DOOR WHEN I NEED TO GO OUTSIDE AND I COME WHEN THEY CALL MY NEW NAME. THAT MAKES ME FEEL PROUD!

I HAVE ALSO MET THE FAMILY CAT MEMBER. AT FIRST SHE WOULDN'T EVEN BE IN THE HOUSE WITH ME AND I COULD TELL THIS WORRIED MY PEOPLE. BUT NOW SHE IS BEGINNING TO SPEND A LOT MORE TIME IN THIS WARM COZY HOME. SHE EVEN CAME UP TO ME AND WE TOUCHED NOSES.
