bells, poop and cars

By | | Comments 0 Comment

the bell thing is working but i still forget to ring it sometimes. my mum makes me ring it even though we are at the door all ready to go outside. i don’t enderstand why becasue she knows we are going outside. so i humour her and ring the bell. wonder if i will ever understand humans?

today my mum is busy and she left the gate open. well i went to find the cats because they always hide out in the bedroom or on top of my crate. all was good, i was very quiet and i found the cats and wouldn’t let them leave the room. and then i pooped and peed in the bedroom. mum was really mad at me i think and i hung my head in shame. i was being so good too about going outside for pee time and poop time. i don’t know what came over me. i promise not to do it again, well i will try not to do it again.

mum has this little stool that is on wheels. it’s so much fun to pull across the room but it keeps loosing one of it’s wheels. what’s really fun is running up and jumping on it and then glide across the room. and then there are the car rides. love those because i never know where we might be going. sometimes just the store but sometimes we visit friends. doesn’t matter, i like them. and if anyone comes up to the car i am a big brave border collie and protect my mum. she tells me it’s ok but i keep my eye on the person who is there and what they are doing, cos my mum is my best friend and i have to be there for her. that’s what border collies do.

where we going?

whew today was exhausting!

i woke up mum early even though she did have to do that work thing and we stayed up. no going back to bed for a nap. in fact i did not get a nap all day. well apart from when i fell asleep in mum’s arms and a tiny one when she got me some more food.

we did our normal walk down the laneway and then it was nonstop. in the car we go and first we went to see my friends who have this big space with lots of cars but machines that make noises that scare me a little. but mum brought my favourite toy, the squeaky one. that made me feel better and was doing the border collie stance and it made me feel a lot safer. i started to fall asleep but we were off again. this time to visit my friend who came with my mum to bring me to my now forever home and who comes to see me when mum can’t get home. by this time i was really tired and that’s when i fell asleep in mum’s lap. she left me there while she went for more food. it was great, i had a nice little nap. there are more cats in this house and most of them apparently came to check out who i was but i had no idea, it was nap time!

finally, we pull up in front of our house and by this time, i was hungry and really tired but i had to tell my cats my story but they did not want to know.  oh, and i really like pushing this chair around.  it is on wheels and i push it all round my house. sometimes nosey is on it and stays for the ride. we are becoming good friends, she even lets me sit on her.

the day is not over and mum says i am wound up like a spinning top. not sure what that is. here’s my selfie. humans are strange! i maye a smart border collie but cannot yet take my own pictures, so mum took this one when i was trying to to play.

my mum got a message from my first human mum and she gave us an update on my brother, chuck.  he seems just like me. playing and biting, trying to learn the pee and poop thing, and basically being a very cute and mischievious border collie puppy.  i can’t wait to see him this summer, we will have so much to tell each other. do you think he will remember me? and i will get to see my real mum and dad too. hope they will like how big and brave i will be by then. maybe they can teach me a few things, or be aloof as border collies can be!  here’s a picture of my brother chuck, look at that face!  bet we could get into all sorts of mischief!

chuck, my brother

yesterday we went for a short car ride and mum left me in the car while she went into this big building.  i watched intently at the door waiting for her to come back to the car.  when she did she was carrying these bags of food! when we got home, she opened a package and gave me what is called a marrow bone. they are so so good.  when i had finished chewing my little heart out i tried to hide it in the couch but mum was having none of that. better find another spot and make sure the kittens don’t find it.

oh and mum did let me sleep on the big bed last night but i woke her up at 5am because i really had to pee.  i wanted to go back to bed but mum was awake now so i couldn’t! we waited till daylight and off we went down the lane for poop time.  it had snowed again last night. i love running through fresh snow nose first, chuck you should try it!

right now i seem to be all about cuteness. well take a look at the picture below and you tell me. my mum keeps telling me that i am the cutest border collie. but i bet all mums and dads out there that have border collie puppies say the same thing. we are just full of cuteness.

another car ride today. i was really tired after a morning of exploring but was definitely up for a car ride. mum took me to a couple of places. in and out of the car to recieve kisses and hugs from everyone. i really like car rides. i wanted to get down from her arms but mum was concerned that i might pee on their carpet and then i may not be invited back, don’t want that to happen.

my pee time and poop time, well it’s hard to hold sometimes but i am getting better and my mum praises me all the time when i do it in the snow. i am doing my best to understand humans, they are quite strange at times.

my crate, my little home when mum is not here. thank goodness she does not leave for too long and she leaves music on for me too. wonder if i could give her requests?

and the best thing that happened today was that i discovered puddles!!

pee time

pee time

my mum keeps scooping me up and taking me outside. i don’t like the step down into the unknown, of course no problem to go back inside where it’s nice and warm. once outside we either go for a walk down the road in front of my new home or mum stands there shivering saying pee-time seven, pee pee time. sometimes really hard not to pee inside, honest i don’t mean to. i’ll work on that one, promise.

the last two nights, when its dark and there are no lights on, i slept on this big bed with my mum beside me. how nice is that? it’s a long way down to the floor so i haven’t tried to jump down in the dark, later for that one.
no car ride today. i quite like those. we visited lots of people yesterday. i recognized one person, the nice lady who came with my mum to take me to my new home. but i didn’t know the others. they were really nice too and i think i will be going there often. this adventure is going to be so much fun.
this is what it was like today, trying to find a spot to pee, not an easy thing to do.
not too impressed
whew what a day

so much has happened in the last 24hours, not sure where to begin. but when that really nice lady, my new mum showed up again, i knew big changes were going to happen. she scooped me up in her arms and i gave her lots of kisses. we quickly left the house because my first human mum was feeling very poorly and she couldn’t even give me a kiss goodbye but i know we will see her again this summer, they promised me that.

and then i was on my mum’s lap in what is called a car.  i wanted to explore but i couldn’t so i talked all the way. wasn’t really sure what was going on! after what seemed a very long time, we stopped. then these amazing smells came into the car but again i couldn’t. nevermind because i really wasn’t hungry, too much going on!  then we stopped again and i got into another car with just my mum.  i quickly made it to the back seat and was falling asleep and then we stopped again.  good job too because i really had to pee!
then she scooped me up and took me inside a new house, my new home. all these new smells and 2 cats!  i thought one was one of my siblings, same size, same colour and i side checked her.  found out rather quickly that she was not.  after i settled in and smelt just about everything, i had dinner and promptly fell asleep.
whew, what a day!  lots more to come, life is good! see you tomorrow.
totallly exhausted
