new friends, digging and lots more

new friends, digging and lots more

it’s been awhile but as smart as i am, i am unable to master the keyboard to tell you updates, so i have to trust my mum to do this for me. this is what it would be if i was typing. ,lvgfrknjdmkhbv bhn mn  v bfvghjnbgjnbhhbnh as you can see it makes no sense. yes, mum made me do this.

my mum has been doing that work thing a lot but that’s ok because then she has more money to buy me things. she takes me to my food store and the other day we brought home a new toy. not that i need it really but i won’t say no! this one is called pinky because it is pink and it squeaks. i am very good at bringing the right toy to my mum when she asks, pretty smart just like a border collie should be.
the other day when mum was at work, a friend of my mum’s came to let me out. well i would not move from my crate because i did not like him. i don’t know why but i just wouldn’t move. i think i was a little scared and i nipped him. i am sorry, really i am. but then another friend came to let me go outside for pee time and all was good. i’m glad my mum has lots of friends! and then this really nice lady came the next day with sam her labrador. we went for a really big walk. i showed them where to go, it was so much fun and apparently she will be coming over lots.
i have been for lots of car rides visiting all the people i know trying to be a good boy. but i had a little poop accident in my friend’s house. you see they don’t have the bell on the door to ring. it’s ok though they will have me back, i think! speaking of the bell, i have mastered that one. and i think mum is wishing she never taught me because i go to the door and ring the bell, she lets me out and then of course i want to come right back in again. then i ring it again. it’s my little game, wonder how long mum will leave the bell on the door?
and mum has started to dig in the dirt. i really like this but don’t understand why she doesn’t like it when i start to dig. again, humans are strange but i am getting better at understandiing them. one walk i do like is the one first thing in the morning, it’s the best!
early morning run
bells, poop and cars

bells, poop and cars

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?

ears and a new friend

ears and a new friend

obviously i am growing very very fast. first my new teeth which hurt me a lot and now my ears. one ear is now standing up straight most of the time, so i am definitely not a barbie collie! my mum and her friends think it’s really cute. can someone explain to me what cute is?  all that matters is that i like my ears, so does my mum, we don’t care what those show dog people think.

my one big ear!
and the other day, i met a friend, her name is daisy. she kind of ignored me but i really liked her. we went on this really long walk and she showed me what to sniff and where to pee and to make sure our human mums were always close by. mum says she will come up again very soon and spend some time with me. wonder what kind of things she will show me then. I can show her these little things that go away really fast in the sky but i think she already knows that, well that’s what mum says and apparently they are called birds.

and i finally figured out the bells on the door. dead simple really. i push them with my nose and they make this funny sound and mum comes over to the door, tells me i am a good boy and lets me out. i must remember to do that always when i need pee time or poop time. 
the vet

the vet

yesterday was different. this really nice lady came to visit us and apparently she is my doctor and she is called a vet. what’s really nice is she kept giving me little treats.  what’s not so nice is she poked me with something really sharp.  mum told me i have to have these shots every once and awhile so i won’t get sick. i’m not really sure what that means but it doesn’t sound too good, so i will let them poke me, just a little though!  she gave mum all this stuff to read about bringing up a puppy but i know my mum has done this before, so i am not worried, i know she is doing things the right way, least that’s what i think!

my puppy training is continuing.  i had a big poop in the house this morning, sorry mum but i’m blaming it on those shots, they did funny things to my tummy and i just couldn’t hold it.  i tried to wake you but you wouldn’t listen. i will though try to remember to ring the bell instead of just staring at the door.  see mum bought these bells that she put on the door for me to ring when i need to pee or poop but i keep forgetting. so much to learn but i am because i am a border collie and we learn things really quickly but we do have a stubborn side to us as well.

i have discovered these two very big balls outside. mum calls them basket balls but to me they are just great big toys to play with.  i have decided that they must always be togther but it can be a little difficult, i’m working on that one.
