Savannah's Puppy Diary

Well. I have had some Busy Days lately. First Of All, Momma hasn't been All That Thrilled to be My Momma this week. More than once Momma has told me that I'm More Work Than I'm Probably Worth and I don't exactly know what That means but Momma said it every time I Made A Hole In My Bed and Momma had to first Pick Up The Stuffing and Then Vacuum the Breakfast Room and then Sew The Hole Up. By the time Momma was Finished Sewing All Those Holes my Bed looked like it had X's all over the sides. Momma said that she Wasn't Much Good With A Needle And Thread to begin with but Sewing At Three O'Clock In The Morning was Really Pushing It Savannah.

I think Momma got Really Sick and Tired of making all those X's because now my Bed is Covered with a Sheet that has Little Green Palm Trees All Over It. Those trees are enough to Make A Puppy Dizzy but I try to Keep My Eyes Closed when I get into my Bed now. Momma doesn't like the Little Trees either because I heard her telling Daddy that she would Have To Check The Store to see what Other Designs they had for a Dog Bed Cover that looked like it Belonged In The Breakfast Room instead of on a Lounge Chair At The Beach.

Momma is also Insisting that I Learn To Pee in the Grass by the Back Door so she doesn't have to be Walking On The Road After Dark. What? And Miss All The Fun? When we go By The Road At Night there are Hundreds of little Brown Bugs by the lights and there are Leaves that the Wind is Blowing and Grass That's High Enough To Jump In and lots of Bluebonnets To Eat. The Grass by the Back Door is Boring plus what Good-Mannered Puppy wants to Pee so Close to the House anyway. Momma just doesn't Understand but when I do Pee in that Little Patch of Grass I get a Treat when we come Back Into The House so at least that makes up for the Boring part.

Momma's Tea Ladies were here the Other Day and I made sure to Say Hello to Miss Judy and Miss Cindy because Both Of Them have Dogs of their own and they Understand that an Extra Treat or Cookie here and there isn't a Bad Thing. Miss Judy told Momma that I must be the Best Behaved Puppy On This Road and then Momma told Miss Judy to Come Back at Three O'Clock In The Morning when I'm Tearing A Hole in my Bed and Barking at a Cricket on the Porch. Miss Judy said HaHaHa but Momma didn't say HaHaHa back so I think She Was Serious. I'm still Waiting for Miss Judy to show up at Three O'Clock In The Morning but that hasn't happened yet.

Daddy bought me a New Toy and told Momma that he was Going To Play With Savannah Every Night Before Bed-Time so I would be So Worn Out that I wouldn't Bark in the Middle of The Night. Momma's answer to that was Keep Dreaming. My new Toy is a Thick Rope and Daddy gets on The Floor and Makes Believe he won't Give Me The Rope but then he Let's Me Take It and Run around the TV Room with it. Momma said I have to Be Careful not to step on Sweet Pea and she told Daddy to make sure he didn't Throw That Thing against the Windows.

For the Past Two Nights I was Very Tired when Momma and Daddy went Upstairs and I thought I heard a Raccoon on the porch last night but I just opened up One Eye and saw that my New Toy and my Treats were still here so I Went Back To Sleep.  When Momma comes down the Stairs in the Mornings now she says Thank You For Letting Me Sleep Savannah.

The book Momma is reading right now is called A Dog's Purpose and Momma told Daddy that the Story was written as if The Dog was writing it. Momma said the Dog in the story has More Than One Life and he Keeps Coming Back so he can Learn What His Purpose Is. Well I tried to tell Momma that I could have Written That Book In Four Words and Saved That Writer a Lot of Trouble.

Ask any Dog around what their Purpose is and the Answer would be To Love Their Humans. But then there's also A Purpose to Eat Some Bluebonnets and Tear A Hole In A Dog Bed and Chase A Cat once in a while. Dogs do All Of That Other Stuff to Make Sure that their Humans Love Them Back.

Momma said I have done Some Pretty Stupid Things This Week but then I look at Momma and I can See That She Loves Me Anyway because I Always Get A Hug after she takes her Hands Off Of Her Hips.
