The Longest Day EVAR!!
Wow... Today was the LONGEST Day EVAR... I swear it was!!
Dad and Pa woke up SUPER early (at 4am!) and couldn't sleep in... so I got a yummy breakfast, and laid around while they did stuff.
Pa had to go to work, but Dad had a FRENZY of errends!!
First, he got SUPER excited, because some money had 'posted' at his bank. I dunno which post, because it was still early and cool, and he left me in the car while he did his banking- I wonder if it was a pee-post-it-note like *I* like to leave!
He came out with a thing he said would pay for the New Puppy... Some kinda 'cashier's check' thingy. He was awefully happy. He also had some money in his pocket, and wow did he have a lot of errends to run that required it!! EEK.
It was a WARM day, so I hadta go inside more than usual, because the car was hot- that included walking ALL OVER Wal-Mart... that's a nice place, but it's BIG, and I get soooo tired... I started gimping and limping, and Dad felt so bad for me.
He bought so many wierd things.
Fabric for little blankies...
A crate...
Some cans of real meat, for dogs...
He bought new doggie dishes, and just... he did a LOT of doggie-related errends too.
He came home, and I FLOPPED down on the porch to cool down.
He worked in the yard some more!!! He was chopping up the grass in this one shady area, and he said it was going to be the 'doggie potty spot'... hmmmm.
He is about half done, a BIG patch is bare gravel and soil... he says he will clear more, and then chop up the soil a bit more, then sprinkle bark on it- so we doggies can go potty there! That will make it easier for him to clean up after us!
He got TIRED, and went to rest.
Then Pa got off work- and he went to get him- but I was SO SORE, and SO TIRED... I was all "g'bye Dad... have a nice trip... I see you when you come home. bring back foam."
Dad laughed.
When they came back, it was a LONG TIME LATER.
They had THE PUPPY!!
The way they came home was wierd too- a BIG truck carried thier car on top of a big flatbed, and they had to push it into the parking spot.
Dad said something about a "thrown rod" but I didn't know the car even played fetch! Huh.
Then they assembled a new Crate and put it in the bedroom- and some friends came and drove them on MORE errends!! They took the puppy.
They came back with chew toys and a leash and collar and harness... so they could walk the puppy. That's good- Pa likes Walks, and I do NOT. hrmf. SHE can take him for endless walks around the block, the silly thing! She has plenty of energy!!
Dad says he will post lots of stuff about thier exciting day on the New Puppy's BLOG: Constant-Heart
He has pictures!!
He also wants me to tell you all how BIG the Baby is! WOWSERS!!
She is only 7 weeks old... and she wieghs /14/ pounds!!
That is like TWO cats.
She's a happy soul, and very very polite to me. I am still deciding what having her here MEANS... so I am a little standoffish, but I am not angry or upset. I am curious.
The Baby though... she TALKS and TALKS to me!! She tries to open her crate's latches!! She is TOO SMART!
Dad says she will get calmer when she gets used to me ignoring her... heh. I think she will learn that quiet dogs get my attention, not noisy ones.
It has been SUCH a LONG Day... Dad is exhausted, and Pa is too... and now they gots no CAR... but the Puppy has a Vet appointment tomorrow, so they might have to take the bus there for now- I knows all about the bus.
They can go alone, I is SO GIMPY... ow ow ow ow.
I'm just OLD Big Bertha now! I am sure glad for my painkillers on days like this!
