I have changed my lifestyle over the past year. I moved to Washington State in October 2001. Life here is good! My new family thinks I’m the princess of the house and I’ve learned to get what I want, when I want it. My Mom is home all day with me and she usually takes me wherever she goes. At least 3 days a week we go on a field trip to the dog park or to the nature path on Lake Sammamish. It’s a lot of fun but I usually get very muddy and have to have a bath, yuk! On school days we are in and out of the car constantly but I don’t
mind, as long as I get to go! I
don’t like to be left alone at home so I soon figured out when my family is
heading out the door, I push to be first out the door and I get the best seat in
the car. Bed time is great.
I have a bed on the floor in my Mom and Dad’s bedroom.
I usually get to lay in bed with them until we shut the lights out.
If I’m lucky they fall asleep and I get to sleep in bed all night long!
Even if I’m awake I never open my eyes hoping they will think I’m so
cute, they won’t wake me to put me on my bed.
I have also figured out that if I sit on Mom’s side of the bed and
stare at her (sometimes lick her hand) during the night she let’s me get in
bed, it’s so easy! I have a nice big yard and pasture to run in.
I usually spend part of my day making sure no birds are in any of the
bushes. It’s a tough job as the
bird feeders are always full. But
I’ll never give up! Now, the deer
are a different story! Working
the pasture and the woods is exhausting but I’m determined never to let the
deer rest. Occasionally they leave
little packages in the pasture that I roll in for camouflage (color/smell).
It works great, but Mom isn’t to thrilled when I do this, it means one
of those bath’s that I mentioned earlier. I also have a lot of fun when the boys use the
batting cage. When they hit the
balls I steal them, for some reason when I do this it makes them chase me around
the pasture. Check out my photos, of how I spend my days. EMMA |
