All in a day's (or night's) work!

Did I or did I not tell you that I had no intentions of spending another night in that awful crate thing? Hardihardihar... well who spent the best part of the night in a lovely soft and cosy bed snuggled up to my new Mum? You guessed it, moi! I knew she'd cave in, all I had to do was lay the tears on thick and after last night's messy bed she felt so guilty she melted like snaw aff a dyke! It was soooo easy... yaas... I am the coolest pup on the block.

Actually, I didn't spend the whole night up there though. She only went and put me back in my own bed once I had fallen asleep. Now that's just plain mean trickery! One minute I'm sound asleep with my wee head snuggled into her neck, giving it the old zzz's (as you do) and the next thing I know is I've woken up in that crate on my lonesome! I ask you???

Ach well, you win some, you lose some. Round one to me though don't ya think? Heh, heh, heh...

You know what they say about best laid plans - well, mine didn't quite work out last night. I was so sure I could convince her that I shouldn't be sleeping in a crate too. I howled and howled and better than howled but to no avail. I put on my best and most pitiful whining too, but nothing worked. She just left me there, either that or she's a really sound sleeper, but I don't think so. I think she was hoping that I'd tire and give up. Huh? How wrong was she?

And how convenient was that diarhoea? Actually, it wasn't much fun for I messed up big time, and the smell was so bad even I couldn't stand it. Still, it made her upstairs feel ultra guilty this morning and boy did I milk it.

She took me out in the car later to this strange looking building that smelled really weird and not in a good way either... This man in a white jacket started poking and prodding at me - the cheek of it. I decided the best approach was to remain aloof and above it all. It wasn't too bad an experience as it turns out. He gave me some pasty stuff to take to try and fix my upset tummy so I guess I should be grateful. Mind you, he also said to give me a wee bit less food today to give my tummy a rest. Well seen he wasn't hungry! This was not good news. What was good news though was that he said I was a very healthy puppy otherwise and had a lovely temperament and character. Well, I'd have thought that was obvious but you know what these humans are like - have something to say about everything. How often do I have to tell them, I'm a princess... A PRINCESS!!! Treat me like one and you'll see the charming side of my personality regularly!

Oh what a night!

Well, that was the night that was!

Would you believe it, after a lovely afternoon settling in and getting to know the lie of the land, she put me in a crate and left me there for the night!!! I was not impressed! Mind you, I was really tired and fell asleep quite quickly, and to be fair to her, when I woke up during the night desperate to do my business (if you know what I mean) she did get up and take me out. Oh, and she gave me a nice big cuddle before putting me back in the crate. Hmmph! I hope she doesn't think this is going to be a permanent arrangement though. Doesn't she realise that I was born to be treated like a princess? A crate, I ask you? Well, we'll see about that!

Haven't had such a great day today though. I've got a bit of an upset tummy but I'm not going to let it spoil my fun, or my food. I do like eating!

Wow, did I tell you I'd been outside? It was a bit scarey at first, but Meg and Skye ran out so happily that I thought, hey Ruby, this could be an adventure, and off I trotted after them. They were a bit too fast for me though. I tried to catch up but they were too fast and I lost them. Luckily the nice lady kept an eye on me and showed me the way back indoors. I think I might forgive her for putting me in that crate last night after all. I'm not sleeping there tonight though - no sireee....

Let me introduce myself...

Let me introduce myself. My name is Ruby and I am just 7 weeks old. I was chosen by this lovely lady to come and live in her home. She tells me that she's going to be my new Mum. Funny that though for she doesn't look anything like my real Mum. Hmmm...? So far I'm having a great time. I have two playmates - a lively gold and white dog called Meg who looks a bit like me and she is my half sister - we have the same Dad apparently. She is very friendly and looks after me - a bit like a great protector. My other playmate is big and black and also looks a bit like me. He is called Skye and is not quite so friendly. He doesn't like sharing his toys with me, but I know that in the end, my charm and good looks will win him over. I'm just so cute and adorable you see...

So far I've had lots of fun but it is so tiring and I need lots of sleeps. I think I'm going to like my new home though. There's so much to see and do and play with. Check back in tomorrow and I'll let you know how my first night has gone.
