The cat has been acting very strangely lately. I mean, don't get me wrong, I LOVE the cat, but she's mean. And lately, she's been NICE! Sort of.

She comes over to me meowing when I'm just sitting there on the floor next to the master or the lady, and she rubs on me and purrs and then lays down next to me, like I'm supposed to do something.

I don't make eye contact. I don't want to bring attention to myself that way.

And then she gets mad! She yowls at me and swats me and stalks off huffily?

Someone tell me what I'm supposed to do!!! I'm so confused!

Oh my god, I think the blowfish is moving...

The master and the lady took me for a car ride and they opened the windows and everything! We pulled up next to this little building and the guy in the building gave me a treat. And then, we parked the car and the master and the lady got out with me and took me through this long winding path that smelled like dog and had lots of dogs on it to what they called the beach. There were other dogs all up and down the beach and I got to meet them. But then, the lady took my leash and walked into the water and she wanted me to go with her. I was unsure at first, since it was water. They made comments about how I'm supposed to be a water dog, but I'm skeptical. I was really nervous because the master didn't come with us, so I tried to keep myself between the two of them. Eventually, he laughed and took off his shoes and rolled up his jeans and came into the water with me. Then it was a lot of fun, except they kept going deeper and deeper until the water reached the bottom of my chest.

Eventually, we left the water and went back to the car to get a basket and my bag. Then, we went to a building where the Master went inside, and the lady stayed outside with me and gave me water. People kept going in and out of the building and there were banging noises that kept scaring me.

Then the Master came back out and we went back to the beach down another path. I laid down on the ground. The lady spread out a blanket and gave me the water again, and then they opened up the basket that had all sorts of yummy smells in it. And they sat and talked and fed me meat bits. The blanket was softer than the ground so I moved onto it and I kept watch around us for other dogs and people.

We'd been sitting there quite awhile and another dog came near. I thought he might want to say hi, so I jumped up and ran toward him. I hear the lady yell out as I reached the end of my leash, nowhere near the other dog :(, and then she started laughing, and when I turned around, the basket was upside down in the sand. I wonder why she did that...

We went home after that and I was really tired and fell asleep next to the master in the living room.

FUN!

Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!

THE CAT WAS TOTALLY PLAYING IN A BOX LAST NIGHT!!! SO EXCITING!!!

I tried to play with her, and sniffed her and wagged my tail, but she rowred at me and so I left her alone.

BUT SHE WAS TOTALLY PLAYING!!!

The cat is the best!

The long tailed lady came over on Thursday!!! I was so happy to see her I couldn't keep my tail still!!! I love her so much. She always pets me gently and calls me a good dog!

But then, other people came too, and one of them was carrying metal chairs that clanked and banged and were scary and I ran and hid between the lady and the dishwasher to see what he was doing with them. He completely ignored me, but the metal kept banging, but it was safe between the lady and the dishwasher. And then, the lady moved!!! So, I went and hid under the master's chair by the long tailed lady and the master until all the people arrived, and I sat under the table while they talked and did whatever. It was exhausting, all those people. I was so relieved when they left that I just went to sleep.

The next day, the lady came home and she only paid a little attention to me, so I knew she wasn't feeling well. She laid down on the couch, so I went into the living room and laid down by her on the floor to guard her. Then the master got home, and I laid by him until I heard the door shut on the porch and I knew someone was there, so I barked and growled to let them know. The lady grabbed my collar so I couldn't go to the door, even though I tried. I let her hold me because at least that meant that they knew what was going on, but I barked and growled at the guy to make sure he knew not to come in with those boxes. The master took them and then shut the door and everything was ok again.

The next day after that, I slept with the Master after the lady left. She didn't come back home for a long time and then they just stayed in the house the whole day. I slept a lot.

Then, the lady started cleaning and moving stuff, so I stayed with the Master until he got up. The lady called to me, and I was scared because she was moving things, but she gave me a bone! Yay! I took it and hid behind the table with it to chew on it. Then she called me again, and told me to get my toy, and I took it and hid back under the table.

Later on, I could tell they were going to leave without me, so I hid with the houseboy until they left. I didn't want them to leave, but they did. They came home really late, and I met them at the door because I heard their motorcycles. They smelled like the place with the long tailed lady and the excited man who gives me treats when he comes over, plus like outside. They let me outside and I went to sleep.

Now they are both gone for the day, but they'll be home later, and I can sleep on the bed with the cat while they are gone. I love the cat...

As normal, I spent all day sleeping yesterday, until the houseboy got home. There was a loud noise and I went to his room to hide. He's the scariest thing there is, so he's got to be able to protect me from everything scarier. I took my octopus with me.

Eventually, the lady came home. I was kind of hoping she'd take me for a walk, but she didn't. She just let me into the back yard where I had a great time running and running, and then when I came back in, she was getting in the bathtub, so I guarded the bathroom and bedroom door waiting for the master to get home. I kept hearing car doors open and close, and I was sure they were coming to our house, so I growled to keep them away. It worked!

I was growling at one point when the front door opened and it was THE MASTER!!! YAY!!! I ran to him all wiggly and led him back to the bedroom where the lady was. I was a little embarrassed that I didn't recognize his car this time, but he doesn't know.

He petted me and petted me and then I licked him and he tasted really good so I spent some time just licking his hands, but it made me thirsty so I ran into the bathroom and drank some of the lady's bathwater, which made them laugh. The master came over and cupped some in his hands and let me drink that, so I did, but then I tasted his skin again, and it was good, so more licking there. He tasted so much better than the bathwater.

The lady kept saying ew about the bathwater, but I know that means she wants me to do it more.

I spent most of the evening sleeping next to the master on the floor and then following them and going back to sleep when they went into the back room. In between times, I made sure to listen for the houseboy to come back or in case anyone else was going to come over.

They closed the door to the back room at some point and I heard the houseboy's voice and some one else! There was some one else!!!!! I barked and barked to let the lady and the master know, but they ignored me. I barked a little more and then woofed some, but they told me to lay down, so I did, with one final woof. Hate it when they don't appreciate my guarding skills... They didn't even DO anything!

When they were done in the back room, we went back to the living room and I went back to sleep next to the master until the houseboy and his guest came back out and I let them have it barking and barking, but not going anywhere near either of them! Then the houseboy went to bed and I hung around waiting for them to go to bed, even trying to lead them to the backdoor. Finally, they went, and I laid down on my pillow and went to sleep too.

It was a harrowing night!

This cold weather is great! Every time the lady or the master lets me into the backyard, I just run and run and run. It makes my skin all shivery and I can't hold still.

Wheeeeee!

I'm four! I'll be five this year. This is my first journal!

My pack has five in it: zensidhe and redheadlass and femetal and datan0de and her majesty, the cat.

I live with zensidhe and redheadlass and her majesty, the cat.

I love the cat. She's my favorite. Last night she laid on my favorite octopus that femetal and datan0de got for me a long time ago and now it smells like her too. It's the best!

My favorite things (besides her majesty) are going for walks, going for car rides, visiting people (if only we left sooner), Jumbone, and treats. I'll probably talk about them alot.

My least favorite things are nekidsteve aka houseboy, balloons, loud noises, and change. I'll probably talk about them a lot too.

nekidsteve scares me, but he's good for protection when the lady and the master aren't home, and sometimes when the lady is changing things in the house.

I hope you enjoy.
