little escape artist

little escape artist

bet you have been wondering where i have been for a couple of days. i have been busy. so much is going on!

my mum is trying to teach me to pee and poop outside. i understand. think i am close to teaching her when i have to go outside to do the pee and poop thing but maybe i should be a little more vocal. i’ll work on that one.

outside is HUGE. there is so much to do, so much to smell, i don’t know where to start. and now i see things up in the sky, mum calls them birds, and of course i try to chase them to no avail. i am also small enough to get through the fence into the great big open space.  my mum doesn’t like that and keeps calling me to “come here”.  i will once i have caught that bird.

at night time when it’s pee and poop time, it’s really dark and mum does not want me to wander far, so she puts this collar on me with a leash that i constantly try to chew so i won’t go very far. of course then i forget to pee.  i don’t like the collar so i promise i won’t go far.

sometimes mum has to leave, it’s this thing called work. she doesn’t like putting me a crate although i don’t mind it too much.  last night she put me in the bathroom with my crate and a gate at the door.  this way i have my sleeping spot and a room to play in. well i managed to get over the gate and greeted mum at the door.  she was impressed that i did not chew anything nor leave any pee and poop. but was worried that i might have hurt myself. wonder what will she will do next time she leaves? she has called me the little escape artist!

i’ll leave you with this picture, it’s the cat’s toy and i love it!  lots going to happen today, i can feel it in my bones!

i must i must destroy!

cuteness

cuteness

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!!

mummy’s boy

mummy’s boy

yes, i admit it, right now i am a mummy’s boy. i just love all those cuddles and kisses i get.  when we go for walks, i make sure i am right there beside her. my mum keeps telling me what a good boy i am. and when srange people come to visit, i am right by her side where i suppose to be.

i learnt two things today. one was lots of fun the other was not.

first, i don’t mind being in my crate but i sure don’t like it when my mum leaves. she left me for what seemed hours and hours but infact was only two apparently but i was howling when she got back and really happy to see her. later she left me again but the music was still on and no howling this time but i was tired this afternoon cos i didn’t have my nap!  and i had to help shovel all this white stuff called snow. i tried to help by barking at the shovel, is this the right thing to do?

and second, when it’s pee time now, i will go down the step by myself and i have discovered that i can play hide and seek with mum by running around the garage.  all the time i hear her calling my name and i know i should come but there is so much to explore i get side tracked. honest, mum i know where the front door is, i won’t wander far, promise.

oh and lucy our cat is meowing like crazy, my mum says she’s in heat, doesn’t sound very nice. she has even come up to me when she thinks i am asleep and puts her nose to mine.  i let her cos i know we are going to be really good friends very soon.

so much has gone on today, i really am tired. wonder what tomorrow will bring.

rough day in the hood
