Dear Journal,

Mommy is not too happy with me.  She says I need to go to "boot camp".  But I can't help getting into trouble...honest!  It's just that...everything is so exciting and different.  I just have to check it out.  Like today Mommy was feeding the kitty (by the way she feeds the kitty on the basement steps behind the baby gate so that we don't bother her...she also feeds Toby in the in-law suite behind yet another baby gate) but she forgot to put the basement gate up!!  And I just couldn't help myself.  Jezebel's food just smelled so good.  I just wanted a little sniff that's all.  But I'm a big klutz and well I kind of sort of fell down the steps a bit.  Oh don't worry I'm fine....the kitty however...well I kind of maybe sort of knocked her all the way down the steps.  And I couldn't just let her food sit there and go bad!!  So I ate it all really super fast.  Now my tummy hurts and Mommy says I have something called "Dia---ree---ah".  Whatever that is.  She going to make me go to that place where the man wears a white coat and he lifts you up way high onto the metal table and they stick you with pointy things called needles.  But it's okay...they always give me a cookie.

Who is this man they call the Dog Whisperer?  Mommy watches that man all the time on the television.  She said she's going to call him and tell him to come over.  Yay!!  Someone new to play with!!  I don't know why she thinks she needs someone to "train" me.  I do tricks!!  I sit and I shake and I lay down and I dance and I speak.  What more could you ask for??  Oh...yeah she never seems very happy when I go potty in the house.  But it's winter!!  It's cold!!!  And that plaid puffy coat she got me is just ugly.  I mean, c'mon lady, even I have better fashion sense than that.

*sigh* these humans...they just don't understand!!  There's just so much I have to do everyday!!

Until next time,
Ty
