Here it is almost three weeks since I came to live with my new family.
This week, I discovered STICKS!!!
Sticks are wonderful things. They seem to just appear from nowhere, but I have noticed that there seem to be am awfully lot of them underneath trees, which makes my little puppy brain think they might be tree puppies. Whatever they are, they are fun!
Something happens to me when I find a stick.. I immediately want to chew on the stick, but sometimes the stick jumps out of my mouth, and I have to chase it. Other times, I just get so silly that I roll over on my back and growl, with the stick in my mouth..
Sometimes, when I hold it with my front paws and chew, it bends into a funny shape and snaps me right on my puppy snout!
That hurts! But I don't let it get the best of me. I just grab it up, and run around the back yard as fast as I can run, which is getting faster every day.
These sticks do funny things to me!They make me bounce across the backyard, so happy to be a puppy... My mom says I look and act like one of those little lambs that have the springs in their feet, like you see in cartoons.
It is wonderful to be a puppy, and it's even more wonderful that there are STICKS!!
What more could there be of importance in my life right now?
I have a family that loves me, even when I make mistakes.
I have lots of good food and so many puppy toys that sometimes, I can't decide which one to play with first.
And something that is very important.. my family keeps me safe, and they protect me from the dangerous things that might hurt me. I am very lucky to be a puppy, and when I grow up, I will protect my family, just like they are protecting me now.
It will be part of my job.
