Man, I love weekends! That beeping noise doesn't wake me from my happy dream of enjoying my frozen, peanut butter filled Kong. Sometimes we just lay there and snuggle. Ike usually jumps right up and does the happy dance on top of the lady. He just doesn't know how to relax sometimes. Saturday and Sunday usually mean a couple of walks as well as getting to spend the whole day with the lady.
Sometimes, the lady likes to go to different places on the weekends. That means I get to have a different human come and take care of me. One time the lady went on vacation. I didn't know what that was, so I watched her. She got a bag and put her clothes in it. By the way, you humans have so much stuff. Too bad you can't just have fur like me. You wouldn't have to take all of that stuff with you. Anyway, she puts on all this strange looking stuff to cover her head and hands and hides her eyes and gets on this noisy thing she calls a hawg. She says we are her two favorite things in the world.
I got to ride in our car and stay with the warden while the lady was gone. The warden has a full house! Two of those fuzzy little meowers and four, yes I said four dogs. Wow! Talk about sensory overload. The lady was worried I might not be very friendly, but the warden showed me what a good dog does when meeting new pals. Sometimes I like to be the boss, but the warden said, no way little lady, I'm the leader of this pack.
I was happy to see the lady when she came back. That was the longest we had been apart since I came to live with her. I think she kinda missed me too. She had all kinds of hugs, kisses, pets, and belly rubs for me. I was feelin sassy and got a little grouchy with Petunia and before I knew which end was up, the warden had me down on the ground on my side. She's quick, and she means business. This helps to remind me that I'm not the leader, the human is. When I was on my own, no one was there to care for and protect me. I had to do it all myself. It kinda makes a girl a bit on guard and reactive to scary things. I just need to trust my human will have my back and always protect me. I forgot this lesson once after I got back to the ladies house and I'll be darned, she knew how to get me to the ground and on my side as well. Darn humans, you guys really stick together don't ya!? Oh well, no harm, just a quick little reminder to act like a lady. The lady says she's happy with how much I've learned to trust people. I just wanna keep doing good and make my human proud. The lady says no one will be able to resist me after they meet me. I don't know exactly what that means, I just know I wanna find my forever home.
