VISIT FROM GRAMMA & GRAMPA

BARK! I forgot to mention, the last visit was from GREAT GRAMMA! This weekend mommy's mommy and daddy came over. They are the ones that have the hhhhhhhuuuuuggggeee Safe Place parked in their territory. When we go to their territory, we get to stay in the really big Safe Place, and I get to sleep on a couch, and mommy and daddy let me sneak up on the bed they sleep on for snugglies. It is a lot lower than mommy and daddy's bed at home, so I can get up in between them and make all those snarfly noises that they think is so cute.

Anyway, THAT gramma and grampa came out. Dumb puppy Max barked at them, and made mommy mad. So he got put into his safe place for awhile. But I was the ultimate good girl, so gramma wouldnt stop petting me. Even though Grampa would say " I didnt ask for a big dog to sit here" he would still pet me and smile. I think he likes me more than he tells mommy and daddy. One time he came over with his own black doggie. But the doggie tried to take over my turf and got to close to my front door, so I had to try to make her go away, by barking and pawing at the window. How was I suppose to know that the window would break? I think I scared mommy and daddy, but not as bad as I scared Grampa and his little black doggie. So when we go to their territory, they keep us apart. Mommy says their little black doggie is really nice, but I dont know about that, so I keep a close eye on her territory when we are there. So far I havent seen any bad evidence.

Gramma and grampa were only here for a little bit, then left. We smelled them on mommy and daddy the next day, but they didnt come back. I hope Dumb Max didnt scare them away. BARK- Sasha the Princess

PAW!!! Hey, they looked like danger to me. Especially that man with all the fur on his face! I could smell animal skin on his feet, so I had to protect mom. Anyone that wears animal skin on their feet could be dangerous! But the Princess has to admit, I was pretty darned good when Dad let me out. Once I knew the leader was back, all was ok. And how was I suppose to know I wasnt suppose to alert everyone when Gramma came out of the peoples potty room? That made dad mad, and back into the Safe Place I went. Darn! PAW! Max the Prince!

Tired Dogs!

BARK! Yes, we love our walks, but boy, it sure is getting hot out there lately! Last night during our walk, I saw one of the fuzzies with the bushy tails at the park again. I kept jumping up and telling mommy to let me play with it. She made me sit and lay down. Then wouldnt let me go over to it. Dumb Max doesnt even see them. I can just imagine the fun we could have together, if they would let us near one. The night before, at least daddy let me go to the tree it ran up. Try as hard as I could, I couldnt jump high enough to catch it, and climbing the tree was even harder! Im glad mommy and daddy let me play with those things that spray water, so I can put my head in the spray and drink the water. It is even more fun if I can get mommy and daddy wet too! Dumb Max doesnt get it, and never trys it. He didnt even know how to drink out of a drinking fountain until last night. I guess he finally got thirsty enough.

I do have to admit though, that Max has been pretty cool lately. Mommy and daddy wont let him lick my ears anymore, but he still nudges me, and I nudge him back, then we start playing. Mommy and daddy seem real happy when we do this. I think I will let them keep him, now that he is getting fun. Since Max is finally learning to walk good, Daddy sometimes takes him in the morning, so I get to walk with mommy in the mornings now too. I love our special alone times. Especially when she stops and sits and puts her head down for a little while. I am not sure what that means, but she seems a lot more peaceful afterwards. And if I lay queitly, she gives me a treat too.

PAW-- Hey, the Princess is pretty cool these days. She finally figured out how to play nice, so we can play together and make mom and dad laugh. Now if I can just figure out how to get her to chill a little more in the back yard, then we can run and play together outside too!

The other day I discovered FREEDOM!! Dad let us out back to eat and potty. I found the gate open and went to check out the yard next door. The lady that lives there, came out and grabbed me by the collar and took me home. It sure was funny to see Daddy's face when he saw me standing at the front door, instead of the back door. When he told mommy about it later, I felt her heart race, but I heard them mention something about me being allowed some more freedom to play. YIPPEE!!! --PAW! -- MAX

BARK-- Yes, I tried to warn him not to go out there, I have witness daddy's wrath when I did that, and didnt want to go there. So when daddy came running into the back yard, there I was, being the good little princess I am! Well, what can you expect from a dumb puppy?

Sasha- the Princess!
