Savannah's Puppy Diary

Momma was Especially Happy today because I have learned to Sit Savannah Sit! when she tells me to do that. I have been given Extra Treats for Three Days but only when I Sit Savannah Sit!  Momma didn't understand that when she wanted me to Sit! on the Cold Tile Floor she needed to give me time to walk to The Carpet so I could Sit Savannah Sit! on a Warm And Soft Floor.  It took me almost a Whole Day to get Momma to understand that I really did want to Sit! and get that Treat but I didn't want to Sit! where it was Cold.

When Momma finally Learned That Trick she Laughed and told me that I was Just Like Gracie because That Dog never wanted to Sit! on the Cold Kitchen Floor either. Well Gracie must have been a Smart Dog just like Savannah. Momma points her Finger to the Floor when she wants me to Sit! and sometimes I Sit! as soon as she lifts up that Finger and she doesn't even get a chance to say Sit Savannah Sit!  I think she likes it Better that way because I get Two Treats for that. Last night I did Sit Savannah Sit! as soon as Momma took the Lid off The Treat Jar and she said Oh My Savannah What A Smart Girl You Are! What Did I Do Without You! and she gave me Four Treats.

Last night in the TV Room I sat next to my Daddy Person and let him pet me for a long time and he told me that I was a Good Girl Savannah Good Girl. When Momma walked into the TV Room my Daddy Person pointed to me and whispered Look At This! to my Momma Person. They were both Happy and Smiling and my Daddy Person said that maybe I was going to be Just Like Gracie After All.

I learned that Peanuts can get you In Trouble when you try to Dig One Out from Between The Cushions of The Sofa. I kept trying and trying to get that Peanut and Momma was telling me No! No! Savannah No! and kept giving me Toys to play with instead. I took the Toys from her but just put them on The Floor and kept trying to Get That Peanut. Finally my Momma Person took The Cushions off The Sofa and saw that there really was A Peanut under there. She said it must have fallen there during the last Baseball Game when the Daddy Person was Eating Peanuts so The Astros could Win A Game For Goodness Sakes.  Momma took the Peanut but she threw it out because it was No Good For Savannah and I got a Treat instead but first I had to Sit Savannah Sit! for it.  If she had just let me eat that Peanut I probably wouldn't have had to Sit Savannah Sit!

Momma's Tea Ladies will be here This Afternoon and I have to Behave Myself and Be Very Good. I have to Remember the Rules from Last Week. No Throwing my Blue Monkey in the air because he may end up Floating In A Teacup. No Running on the Kitchen Floor because that Makes Me Slide from One End Of The Room To The Other And One Of These Days I'm Going To Break My Puppy Leg. I can go into the Dining Room to say Hello to The Tea Ladies but I am Not Allowed to go into the Living Room by myself.

This morning I Barked At The Daddy Person when he was leaving for Work. I don't know why I did that because I saw him Early This Morning when he Made Coffee and I know He Lives Here and He Was Here First. But Momma was in the Breakfast Room and all of a sudden I heard Noise Coming Down The Stairs and then I heard Noise In The Kitchen. So I barked Really Really Loud.  The Daddy Person was Not Smiling even after I stopped Barking when I saw it was him and not a Stranger.

Momma told me that I Am Breaking my Daddy's Heart Into Pieces again especially after I Was So Nice To Him last night. But then Momma gave me a Hug for thinking I was Protecting Her and she said that we all have to Remember That I Am Still A Puppy and I Will Make Mistakes. Then Momma went out to the driveway with the Daddy Person and she was Helping Him Pick Up The Pieces before he got into The Car so he could go to Work and Earn Money to Buy Everything Else Under The Sun for a Puppy who didn't know who Not to Bark at.
