Crazy Weather

Today got off to an odd start. Greg got up an hour early for some reason. Katie was still sleeping, so I had him let me out before he left for the day. What happened to the weather? It was very rainy and very cold. I'm not sure, but I suspect that cold white stuff may appear soon. When I am done here, I think I will go curl up next to Katie and warm up.

Katie seems to be hanging around a lot more. She used to disappear during the days like Greg does. That stopped recently. Also, she is getting bigger. I've been trying to walk her more, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I wonder what is going on.

I'm glad to see my friends have access to the internet as well. We don't see each other enough. Maybe some of them will start their own blogs as well. In response to Jersey, I should point out that my people didn't put up the usual array of shiny stuff this year. There is a small tree in the corner with Mizzou ornaments on it. They seem pretty attached to those. I might upset Greg and Katie quite a bit if I stepped on one.

Training

I have been working really hard on training my people. They have learned several tricks. When I pace back and forth between them and the back door, that means I need to go outside. When I press my nose against the leash drawer, that means I want to go somewhere. When I lay on my back, I need a belly rub. I recently taught them that when I stare at them and wag my tail, that means I want a rawhide bone. Next, I think I will work on teaching them to cook me better food. That dry stuff is terrible.

My first blog post

So, my life as a dog gets a bit boring sometimes. I thought I would spice things up by starting this blog. First of all, I should provide some background. My people adopted me from the Humane Society on October 11, 2003. That is me and Katie in the picture to the left. I was 4 or 5 months then. I weighed about 25 pounds when I moved in.

My two people are really nice. I'm glad they decided to live with me. I get bored around the house when they aren't here. I used to have troubles telling them apart. Now I know that Katie has hair. Greg does not. Katie is really nice to me. She lets me sleep on the bed with her whenever Greg isn't around. She pets me a lot. Greg is fun too. He lets me wrestle with him. I like to let him win every now and then.
