sugar pie honey bunch

i had a very hard time sleeping last night. it was my first night in my new home, and it might take some getting used to. i have my same old crate, but just looking out the sides of it and being in a strange new kitchen made me cry. i guess it worried my moms because in a few minutes sarah came out and laid down with me on the dog bed in the kitchen. and i started to relax and think about sleeping, but then she got up and went into another room. then i started to think about missing my mom and wondering where i was and i felt a little sad again and i started crying again. i think they got even more worried because they carried a big mattress into the kitchen and slept on the floor with me all night. i really like them.

so i woke up at five like i usually do and sarah and mandy got right up with me and put something around my neck like they did yesterday. i am getting more used to it, but it is strange what they do here. cleo got up too and we all went for a very long walk. cleo seemed very tired but i think it's because her legs are very short. i am faster than her. we walked very far and then we went to a big green spot of hard ground with gates all around. mom found some tennis balls...i love tennis balls...and we played fetch. they don't let me play unless i drop the ball at their feet each time i go back to them. i guess it's a good rule. i got very tired running back and forth after that ball, and we all walked back together. i thought cleo would like to play with the ball because she usually likes to be in charge and involved in everything, but she didn't. she just sat down and cried. maybe balls make her feel sad.

when we got back to the house, i had a very good breakfast, and then i rested on the floor and my moms fell asleep! i was a good boy. later we went for a very long car ride. i met a dog named teddy, a dog named kieran, and some other dogs at two pet stores we went to. my moms got me a new crate because they said something about my old crate being way too big. well, i tried it out tonight and i really like it. i think my old crate was too big.

i also got to meet jesse and diana. jesse is a good friend. my moms went to get dinner and while they were eating, i found a treasure. in the back of the car was the bag of food they bought for me at the store earlier! i knew they would have wanted me to have some so i helped myself. but once i had my first bite, i couldn't stop. i ate, and i ate, and i ate. when my moms got back to the car, they found out right away...because i guess they found parts of the bag and then they noticed the big hole in the bag...

i was very very sick when i got home. my moms had to pick up someone named holly from the train station, and then they all left to go to the movies. i was very afraid and i cried and cried. i cried so hard that sometimes it turned into a bark. then mandy came in and put cleo in the kitchen with me. that was ok for a few minutes but then i got very sad again. a little while later, sarah came in and got me. she put my seatbelt on and said we would go bubbye. i was so happy. then we heard cleo crying and crying. mandy went up to talk to her and then all of a sudden cleo was coming bubbye too!

we stayed in the car while the girls went to the movies. i was so tired but then i got nauseous and threw up all over the driver's seat. then i felt much better. tonight mandy is going to sleep with me in the living room. i hope i am not sad again.
