Old Man Perry has another day in Puppy Kindergarten

I go to puppy kindergarten and learn the commands in one or two tries and then I’m done – bored and want to move on to the next thing.  My Mom and Dad are really holding me back.  They are the ones who need kindergarten since they don’t know the commands very well and get easily confused.  I remember they had a cat named George so this is all new to them.  I really belong in college but I heard that may not be an option for me since it is a lot of money.

I did help clean this week by taking all the paper stuff outside and shredding it for Mom.  I made it look like snow in the back yard. They don’t think I saw them laughing at me but I know cause I’m a smart dog.

Dad was sick this week so I got to lounge with him and now I’m a bit spoiled and decided to whine when I go into my metal cage – hopefully they will take me out but  I heard they are on to me…

I’m Sooo Hungry AND I’m the Biggest in the Litter

I’ve gained 10 pounds in 4 weeks and doubled in size since I came to my new home.  Mom was concerned and called my first Mom to ask about my voracious appetite.

And can you believe it?  I was the runt and now I’m the largest of all my brothers and sisters – just look at my paws!  I had a BIG weekend driving 4 hours to San Luis Obispo and back with Dad and Andrew.  Mom tried to tire me out when I got home but I overheard her and Dad saying what a pistol I am.  After a while I finally settled down for a long winter’s nap…..

Perry Goes to Grandma’s House on National Puppy Day

In honor of national Puppy Day Dad decided to take me on a road trip.  He had lots of pictures to shoot for his photo class and Grandma and Grandpa were away and have a new kitchen so I got to go with my him and my human friend Andrew to San Luis Obispo.  It gave Mom a much-needed break from taking care of me and having to manage my every move AND I now get a chance to explore a new house.  Even better I got to miss Puppy kindergarten this week – yeah!

It is SO much fun.  There are bones hidden everywhere from my Auntie Victoria –  like an Easter egg hunt.   And there’s a kitty cat named Sashi who looks like a big pillow and I So want to play with her but she keeps going under the bed.  I can’t wait to explore the rest of the house but Dad seems to want to keep me in the kitchen near my crate – I think he’s afraid of what I might get into – but that’s what puppies do.  This is the best time ever on national puppy day!

My Affinity for Toilet Paper

I love tissues, toilet paper and newspaper – maybe almost as much as my food!  Today I destroyed a roll of toilet paper and Mom found me several times tonight with tissues almost done my throat – she told me she would have had to bring me to see the vet Annie if I had swallowed it.  She seemed pretty upset – I’m just having fun.

 

 

Dad was so tired from taking care of me today he crashed on my bed and I decided to curl up with him.  I still can’t figure out all these rules in this house and what’s the big deal about eating toilet paper anyway?

These Strange Things that Mom and Dad Do!

So I’m still trying to figure out my Mom and Dad.  When Dad goes to his potty room in the morning I try to keep him warm.  Dad likes to clean all around the house.

When he goes to the potty room to clean I just go in there with him. It takes him a long time to clean the place where I get my baths so I just decided to curl up on his pants till he was done and could play with me.

 

 

Mom leaves so early in the morning before Dad and I get up.

She wears funny clothes and shoes and takes this bag I’m looking at.  I think she calls it the gym.

 

 

 

When she got home this morning she took off her shoes and I decided to check them out.

When she was in the shower I took both of them in my mouth at the same time and ran to my mat.

I could carry both of them but could only chew one at a time.

For some reason Mom did not not like that and took them from me and hid them but I’m sure I’ll find them soon enough.

Meeting my New Parents

I was so tired and just wanted to sleep with my brothers in this thing they call a playpen.  Then along comes two odd looking people.  Great.  Another person who wants to touch me and wake me up.

The man has something cool on his face I wanted to chew on and the lady with long curly hair seemed nice.  However, she put me on my back and I heard her saying something about it will be a good dog if he stays on his back.

Little did I know they were trying to see how controlling I would be since I overheard they wanted a “mellow” dog – ha, ha – they don’t know what I pistol I am but they would soon find out.  I sure have them fooled.

They had a few more weeks of reprieve before picking me up and I just wanted to get some zzzz’s…
