Amber's Day

[Rhea]

You may recall that I am a somewhat newbie to puppy hood. The last puppy in our house was over a decade or more ago.

Amber wanted me to share with you all what our days are like, so here goes.


I take my last nite potty at 1 or 2 am. I wake up around 5 or 6 am for another. We go outside in the frost and I complain. I do things fast when it's cold. Sometimes I try to tell Mommy I only have to pee, but Mommy knows better, so she drags me around the yard with a flashlight until I “shit”. She gives me something she calls a “treat” after I do this. All I know is this treat thing tastes better than my puppy food. Then we cuddle up for a minute or two until I start to chew on Mommy's fingers, or chin or nose or toes or whatever I can reach with my mouth. Mommy loves it when I chew on her and she makes this cute little scream. She's the best squeaky toy ever!!!!!! I'm still not sure what my “name” is but I think it might be No.

Mommy then puts me back into the “crate”. This is the most awful thing that could ever happen to a puppy like me. I used to have a fluffy soft thing called a “towel” but I peed all over it and Mommy took it away. This crate thing keeps me from romping thru the house and chasing the large fluffy creature Mommy calls a “cat”.

I cry and try to tell Mommy how awful this is every time she puts me there, but she doesn't listen, the mean old bitch. I fall asleep after a few “minutes” tho as Mommy tells her friends. By 10 a.m. I am ready for another potty and want to start my day. We go out and it's still cold, but then we come in and I get to have breakfast while Mommy has her coffee. We go out again right after I am done eating. I don't know why Mommy insists on this because all I want to do is curl up for a nap, but I still have to pee a little too.

I stay in my crate until this thing Mommy calls “lunch time”. We go outside again, and I have a snack. We play tug of war, we play try to bite Mommy and chase the cat and bark. If it is pretty outside, I like to play there too. Did you know there are these things called “leaves”??????????????? The really neat thing about leaves is that no two are a like!!! I have a collection of all kinds now that I bring and show Mommy.

From 3-5 pm I am asleep in the “crate”. We go potty again and I get to have “supper”. It's the same thing as “breakfast” and “snack” not nearly as tasty as these things called “treats”. We go outside again right after I eat and then I play or sleep out of my crate in the nice warm room Mommy has the “computer”. We go out to potty again at 8pm and at 10pm and then we start the day all over again at 1 am.

It's wonderful to be a puppy. I don't understand why Mommy is so tired tho......

Dear oh dear, Amber sure is keeping you busy. I had to laugh at the part with the leaves and her bringing them to show you. I started walking two little pups a couple of months ago - EVERYTHING goes in their mouths - feathers, leaves, acorns, twigs, bits of rubbish, grass........... I spend half the walk retrieving objects out their mouths - the joys of puppyhood eh?
