Louis Here
This month a lot has happened. I went to my first Vet check. They were so nice to me. All the girls in the office came out to visit with me, gave me treats, took my picture. They they took me into a room, with my mom and dad. The Doctor came in, checked my teeth, my heart and whoops stuck something into my butt. Wasnt ready for that! But my temperature was normal. Told my mom and dad that I was very healthy and in good shape, then stuck me with two needles. Guess I needed shots of some sort or other. Dont need a flea collar here, no fleas, too hot I guess.
But they do have a blue collar on me; drives me nuts. I keep scratching it, hoping to get rid of it, but not so lucky. They have a little tag on it with my name and phone number on the back. Dont know what I will do if someone calls me, not sure I can reach the phone to answer it. But I guess its necessary in case I get lost.
I found something new in the yard to play with. Behind the air conditioners, I found this black stuff, sorta like chewing on gum, but better. Bite a piece off, and chew on it until I get tired, then go get another piece. Mom keeps picking it up and cant figure out where this is coming from. Im not gonna tell her! Then one day while on poop patrol mom found my source. I had chewed off the insulation on the air conditioners pipes going into the house. Boy was I in trouble again! Had to run to the far corner of the yard again, ears down in back of my head and an Im sorry look in my eyes. Dad came home from the hardware store with a new fence to put in front of the air conditioners, but first had to remind me that I was costing him money every time I got into something new.
Another week goes by and I just do the usual dumb stuff—steal dads shoes, and I like the small throw rug leading into the bedroom, pulled the tablecloth off the dining room table—good thing it wasnt set. Again, out the door and to the far corner of the yard to hide.
Actually 3 days passed and I was really good! On Tuesday house-guests arrived. First time someone else was going to live in the house with us. It was great, new people to play with. While mom and her friend were out shopping, I went into their room, found a nice little purse, and took it. Of course on the way out to the living room, everything in it was spilling out onto the carpet. Dad saw me and again, I was in trouble, ran out the door to the yard again. It seems it was her jewelry bag, and I spilled all her earrings, bracelets, rings onto the floor. Of course they didnt see that I already had unpacked their bags, with socks and undies all over the room! Now they keep their door closed. Good thinking.
The next day four more arrived. Wow, this place is gonna get crowded. But I like it. One of the guys gets up early and lets me out of my room. He plays with me, and as each one of the guests gets up I get to play with them. Went into the other bedroom, and they dont know to keep their door closed. Got into their suitcase and unpacked it, too! Pulled out the cell phone charger from the wall, didnt ruin it tho. Now they keep their door closed, too! While they were all outside on the patio one day, I managed to pull out the plugs to the TV, clock, hot plug for the lamp, and two other lamps in the room. Dad couldnt figure why the TV wouldnt go on. Finally he figured it out, and again, I ran out to the yard to my corner! All I need is the look and I head out!
