(From the paw of me)
I felt it was time to give my two barks, since it is MY blog after all!
It all started with a simple life on a farm. Running free in the fields with my other kin, swimming in the lake, doing my business in privacy where I so desired. Then one day these two show up and take me from my easy farm life. They seemed very excited over me and showered me with treats and petting, so I thought maybe I'd give city life a try. Knowing that first impressions are everything I remained extremely calm for the first couple of days. When I realized that I had them hooked I returned to my wild and crazy self again.
From the start I could tell the male (whom I know loving refer to as Daddy) was going to let me get away with everything and anything. The female however (Mom) is a little tougher to crack. All and all I am handling them pretty well so far.
The Training:
The training is going very well. I sleep in the bed, get on most of the furniture, ride in the front seat of dad's car and get a peanut butter filled bone every morning promptly when I awaken. The kick they seem to be on now is the kitchen. They are foolishly attempting to keep me out of the best room in the house- I don't think so! They have yet to discover how determined I can really be. So far I've tried drawing them out by pulling the leaves off of a plant on the bookshelf, which worked temporarily, but is not a long term fix. Barking incessantly gets their attention, but does not seem to be enough to draw them from the room. Most recently they have employed a new counter attack - It involves this really scary machine they call a vacuum cleaner. Every time I see it I flee in terror. They have put it right in the entrance of the kitchen. I'm currently formulating a new plan to conquer the vacuum cleaner...I will keep you posted on my success.
Happiness:
Living indoors really has its advantages. Air conditioning is a wonderful invention. I go on many walks and get to sleep often. They have even recently built a fence for me, so I have some freedom in the yard. I really can't complain about how things are going. My life is pretty nice and I recommend that all of you get some so-called 'owners' for yourself.
My Tip of the Week:
Enjoy each day. Be excited about a new day. Give kisses often. Give your all, all the time.

City life? Really? In Black Mountain?
Boy I can't wait until the Chicago contingency reads this one... Denise once said that the lake we lived near in San Diego was merely "a pond."
You're doing great, Zaba. Keep 'em guessing all the time and keep soaking up all the love! :)
I can't wait until you get to meet your cousin Daisy! Sounds like you both would have fun hiding from the scary vacuum..... :)
