Broken

Dear Doggie Diary,

My mom left me and Lucky with one of her friends today.  They have two cats who are okay but like to hissy noises at us but we're cool.  Lucky actually barks at them which is funny:)  But I didn't know she was even gone until she didnt come back boo!

I don't know what I'm doing wrong though.  Mom took me for a walk this morning on the Strand and so many other doggies! Big, small, fluffy, labs, corgis...I was ambushed!  I was okay at first and got like a whole hand ful of snackies but then we had to go onto another street because I think she ran out the treats.

But then this evening I leaked inside and I think I'm stressed and I went crazy barky on a dog being walked by a kid and so my walk was cut short.

Sometimes I just wish I was Lucky...funny looking! hee hee but not broken like me:(

I hope my mommy comes back soon!

4 Wins 1 Loss ....Booyah!

The last two days have gone pretty well if I don't say so myself!  Five potential enemy sightings and only one I loss my cool...well we were blocking his doorstep so I haaad to let out a warning growl as he tried to slip past me into his apt home.

Yummy snack Rebecca recommended! Mom calls in N-U-T-R-I-T-I-O-N whatever that is...

**yaaawnnn*** so tired....too much doggie excitement.  Mom's been giving Lucky a rawhide to chew on when we go on our separate morning walks so her separation anxiety gets better.  She seems okay to me!

But I leaked today and I don't know why...mom was very sad but she didn't say anything so I am very sad but trying to get better!

99...tanks for all the happy snackie thoughts!

me and Lucky's safe & comfy corner:)

The name on everybody's lips...Roxy!

Is there a doggie god?  Because Saturday was sooo nice outside in L.A.  It was a breezy 75F, it was sunny, I couldn't wait to stretch out my little furry paws out in the sun and just bake on the warm cement of the our balcony....

And to top it off, mom was gonna take us out on a car ride!  I thought we were going for a walk but then we headed to her super fun hatchback and I was so wiggly and excited and the car started and oh boy wind in my face I could barely keep my eyes opened at 45mph, so many smells everywhere! Even Lucky was trying to crowd on my space...

3 hours later...still driving.

4 hours later...85F...54% humidity...we are in Fresno...hmmm I need a haircut...badly!!! So hot but yay grandparents and more spoiling!

But it was already getting dark so mom took us to Uncle Andy's.  Lucky and I had even done any attention exercises yet...not that I was going to remind mom but I was hungry and snackies were on the brain! mmm woof!

So we get to Uncle Andy's and check it out...my crazy little cousin Roxy's showin' off on the treadmill, running like she's going somewhere!  but haha look and see what happens when she saw us come in!  

That's right stop and stare...LA dogsters comin' through :)  It was hilarious!  sigh *tear* gotta love that puppy.  Anyhoo...so mom ended up trying some "heel" exercises for me to get to learn a new word = treats I guess...but I was super distracted with Roxy slobbering kisses on me and Lucky.  She was so excited to see us but she's so BIG now and not puppy sized like us anymore but I think she forgets.

The rest of the weekend went by pretty fast...grandpa washed us boo! No likey water but he blow drys us afterward which I'm still debating if I like it but it does stop the shivering!  Some paparazzi snuck in and took pics of our shampoo faces so I figure I'll post them here first before they're leaked...go ahead laugh *sigh*...like I said ...no likey water :p

me:(

Lucky (haha - sorry Lucky!)

Well we're back in LA now.  Hopefully mom will help me practice my homework with me some more so Rebecca will see how hard I'm working!  (Ok fine...I just want treats:D is that so bad?)

My Confessions...

Dear Doggie Diary,

I have behavioral problems
But I'm super cute!
I bark at other dogs while on leash
But it makes me stressed instead of happy:(
And according to my mom's roomie, I leak!
I'm so ashamed, so sad me.

Lucky for me, my parental figures brought me Rebecca, a dog trainer and life coach for my birthday to help me become a happier healthier terrier of unknown origin:)  I call her "treat lady"!!! She's the bestest!

Today's opportunities:  So this week, my new homework is desensitization...huge word, no idea what it means except that I get mad treats! when other dogs pass me on the street whoo hoo!

My mom needs to go to the store and stock up though cause today we ran straight into a two doggies ( a mini collie and poodle) and she had no treats to give me so I got nervous and tried to tell the other doggies not to even think! of makin a move on me. Ruff ruff ruff!

Treats I like so far are anything peanut buttery or meat tasting:D  But I have tummy aches (vet says pancreatitis - whatever!) so my mom is on the search for low fat or fat free yet tasty training treats.  (I hope those don't exist! :) but I don't like throwing up either:(  My little sister, Lucky, will eat anything so it's all good.
My mom just got a Natural Balance log that Rebecca recommended, I guess its food too so I'll get all my nutrition..hmmm I wonder if I like Lamb...

Okay back to my attention exercises (more treats!) and I'm learning to "heel" (more treats!) AND yay I'm visiting my fave cousin Roxy...well not so fave cause when she lick me once my whole face gets wet eww but she's just a puppy so I guess its okay.

Laters!
P.S. My family...

My sister Lucky...the day she got adopted:) She looked funny!

Roxy - our cousin...she's a rescue too and learned some of my bad behaviors but mom's brother is a good trainer:)
