Savannah's Puppy Diary

Yesterday was another afternoon with the Tea Ladies. My Lady Person says that this will happen Every Wednesday Afternoon and I need to be Extra Special Good on Tea Day. That means No Running in the House because I will slide on the floor and No Throwing my Blue Monkey because it may end up floating in a Cup Of Tea. I didn't know how to explain that Sliding On The Floor is Fun but my Blue Monkey floating in a Cup of Tea didn't sound like Fun all so I just looked at My Lady with what she calls my Puppy Eyes.

I was Extra Special Good when the Tea Ladies started walking in the back door. My Lady Person didn't put me in The Crate because my Puppy Eyes convinced her that I would Behave. I watched all the Tea Ladies come into the Kitchen and they all said Well There She Is Hello Savannah!  One of my Favorite People was here and she sat down with me on the rug in the Breakfast Room to say Hello Savannah You're Such A Beautiful Puppy!  My Lady Person told me that her name is Gloria and I have to be Really Nice to her because She Is A Real Dog Lover.  I don't know what that means but Gloria sat with me on the Rug and told me over and over You're Such A Beautiful Puppy And Your New Mommy And Daddy Are Taking Good Care of You And You're Going To Love It Here!

Gloria stayed with me until all the Tea Ladies were ready to go into The Dining Room and by that time, I had learned that my New Lady Person is really my Mommy now and my New Man Person is really my Daddy and I am Being Spoiled Rotten because I have so many Toys and I'm so Stinking Cute. Gloria The Real Dog Lover also told me that if I got tired of listening to All Those Ladies I could just go into my Puppy Crate and put my Sweet Little Puppy Head under my Pink Blanket. Gloria went into the Dining Room before I had a chance to tell her that I'd rather listen to the Tea Ladies all day long than go into my Puppy Crate even though the Pink Blanket is my Favorite.  Every once in a while I got up and looked into the Dining Room to see if more Ladies had come in while I was sleeping. They were sure loud in there sometimes. I guess the Tea Ladies are not all Real Dog Lovers like Gloria because they didn't know enough to be more quiet because Growing Puppies need their Sleep.

My Mommy Person learned a new Trick and I didn't even have to give her a Treat for it. All I have to do is put my Puppy Head into my Water Bowl for a Drink and as soon as I walk away my Mommy Person takes out The Mop and cleans up the Water that Drips from my Big Puppy Head. As she goes back and forth with The Mop she says SavannahSavannahSavannah What Did I Do Before You Got Here To Make Such A Flood On My Clean Floor.  Then she looks at me and Smiles and says I am Too Cute For My Own Good. Sometimes I drink more Water after she puts The Mop away just because I think she likes to play with The Mop and I am trying to keep her Happy so I don't ever have to Go Back to being Puppy #2 in my old yard.

I didn't look for my Brother this morning when we were out on The Road. I don't think he's around here because he would be chasing the Goats and the Cows the Horse across The Road like he used to chase me around the yard when I was Puppy #2 and he was Puppy #1.  It's nice not to share my Toys with anyone not even The Cats who have their own Toys. Mommy Person says I am not allowed to touch The Toys That Belong To The Cats because those Toys are small and I might choke if I swallow them. I don't know what that means but my own Toys smell like me and the Cat Toys smell like Cat Breath so right away I know which Toys I want to play with.

I am also not allowed to touch or play with Dead Frogs And Lizards On The Road because that is Gross and Dirty and Disgusting and not something any Dog belonging to my Mommy Person would do.  Every day when we walk up The Road there is a Dead Green Frog or a Dead Brown Lizard out there. The hot sun makes them crispy and flat just like the strips of Rawhide that Mommy Person buys me at the store. I know that she has to pay Money at the store for Treats and Toys and Beds and Everything Else Under The Sun For Pets because my Daddy Person said that You Can Get A Puppy For Free But Then You Have To Pay For Everything Else Under The Sun. If Mommy Person would just let me chew on the crispy Frogs and Lizards then she wouldn't have to pay Money at the store for Rawhide Strips. And if she would stop playing with The Mop so much all day long she would save More Money at the store because sooner or later she's going to wear that thing out.
