i wet the bed.
my people bought a new bed and threw out their old one. i was sad to see the old one go, actually. well, anyway- time to move on. this new bed is really tall and it's also really soft. i like laying on it when they are not on it. i peed in my bed today so maybe i can convince them to let me have the new bed while they sleep on the floor. i think i peed cuz my dad yelled at the computer.
this morning at the park there was a dumb rusty dog named rusty who kept trying to hump bear. doesn't he know that bear is in charge when he's at the park? what a dummy! anyway, i just played with dennis, and my mom and watched closely when mom yelled at the man who owned the rusty dog. the man said everything was my mom's fault, which sucks because it's not true but sometimes she believes it when people say that. i wish i could convince her how nice she really is.

woe is me.
we went to the park this morning and a dog bugged me. sometimes i want to punch dogs in the mouth. why can't they just leave me alone? all i'm trying to do is hang out with my mom and play with dennis and that's it and they always have to come over and get in my face.
seriously, i think they are jealous. dumb old smelly old dogs.
later we picked up jackson and he didn't even bark at me. i waited in the car and rested while mom and jackson went for a walk. when they got back jackson told me a dog bugged him, too. what's the world coming to, anyway?
we picked up all my other friends and went out to Ft. Funston. i love it out there. sam, joe, bear, jake, riley and i went. it seemed a little stressful for mom because i kept pulling, but i just... can't.... stop.... pulling. i tell you.
we're back home now and maybe, just maybe i can convince mom to give me a huge piece of chicken and play with dennis some more. i think i'll go over in the corner and stare at her until she notices me.

The Long Weekend.
one of my favorite girlfriends, patty came over on the 4th of july. i was so happy to see her and all she did was ignore me. i think it was mom and dad's fault. they are really strict. all i wanted was to climb all over her and maybe pee a little on the carpet and couch. i really don't see what the big deal is.
on saturday we went to this huge dog emporium place. we went over a bridge to get there. i pulled the people around by the leash for a while and then once they set me free and i finally got to play with *dennis. then i went for a swim in the stream. it was kinda cold and it stunk, so i didn't stay in there very long. i played with dennis some more.
then on the way out my mom tried to kill me by putting this thing on me she called a harness. probably some ancient torture device used on dogs who pee in the house. sometimes i really like mom, but sometimes i just don't know if i can trust her.
i tried to escape the harness while the people were out seeing The Matrix reloaded, but to no avail.
when they got out of the movie i gave them a guilt trip for trying to kill me with the harness, and i think that convinced them to take it off- but when mom tried i peed all over just to make her feel bad.
i let dad take the harness off outside, but i peed then, too.
see if they try and make me wear one of those embarrassing things again! ha!
today is sunday and we met jackson and his moms at the park. they brought a cute older lady with them named indy. i think i'm in love.
* dennis: my best friend, the tennis ball.

i was minding my own business.
today mark looked at me and i peed on the bed. i couldn't help it. now mark is doing laundry and part of the laundry is the bed spread. i feel sort of guilty, but he did look at me, which is grounds for peeing.

i wasn't even that scared.
today I did not pee on the carpet. not one little bit.
the people took me to the park i like and no dogs bugged me. tomorrow is the 4th of july. i wonder if i'll get to have a hot dog and potato salad for dinner instead of dumb old kibble. we'll probably watch the A's game. i really like baseball, but i'm not as into the A's as much as mom and dad are- don't tell them, but i'm a secret mariner's fan.
