episode 4

I’m fat!!! Gargy-L says someone told her I was fat – I know what that means..LESS food!!  I’m not sure why I look fat but I think it’s my fur – when I’m upset my fur goes up and makes me look much bigger or maybe I was sleeping when I feel like I am flatter – I don’t know what to do – now I’m stuck being fat and homely which I have discovered does not mean I like being at home – it means that I am not pretty or handsome!! so now I’m not pretty or handsome AND fat….. oh – and she said I have dog breath..what is that supposed to mean??? I’m a dog…

my meals are much smaller and she thinks I didn’t  notice she took one meal and divided into two – instead of giving me the two big ones I still get two but they’re really only half of one – she’s putting in better stuff like chickN which she eats too and some potidoes – it’s really good but not ENOUGH .. now I am hungry  a lot and might have to start  stealing food from the table which I’ve never done before because  tables are really high but I’ve heard it’s possible…

Gargy-L still walks me twice a day and I heard her say I’ve improved – thank you!! it’s about time you noticed… the other day she went to pick up poop – yeah it was mine – and there wasn’t that much of it either – since I’m not getting enough to eat..and there was a big dog across the street and I didn’t do anything she didn’t even notice and then there were two more dogs and I just growled a little bit and she said easy and rubbed my back and things were fine and  when this truck went by and there was a dog stuck to the side of it looking at me I didn’t do anything because I didn’t know what it was – was it a car or was it a dog??  anyway it seems like there is less danger than before and she’s teaching me stuff like – turn – which is fun – I get treats when we go around poles and street hydrants and trees and I follow her around in circles.. 

I’m also going places in the car – she says I have preparation exile – when she leaves me alone – so she takes me on trips and leaves me in the car – when she comes back – she always has something super special for  me – the other day it was a sherimp! yummmmmy ..I really like the car rides but have not been able to control the danger when people come near the car – they are too close to  Gargy-L and I  do not want them in the car – we went to a place and they had a thing that she put stuff in and then she takes it back out and when she took it out it there was a treat in her hand and she kept it ..I know it was there! I saw it – but she didn’t give it to me – I guess is because I was trying to climb out the window to kill the danger….she probably ate it because it just disappeared …

I have had some bad days but  I’ve been letting people go by and I’ve been staying on the sidewalk and I’ve been looking at dogs and maybe growing a little but I’m not pulling her across the street and  she gives me lots and lots of hugs on the walk  – sometimes they feel really tight but I think they’re still hugs – I look forward to the walks – my favorite – besides sitting on the sofa.. but I’m a little worried because we haven’t worked on the circus dog training and I know they’re supposed to train a lot – so I hope she hasn’t forgotten that I still haven’t gotten my skateboard..  I remember a lot of stuff! they say we don’t remember anything after 2 seconds so we need them to use that little clicker thing.. good thing Gargy-L doesn’t use that – I really don’t like it but we remember everything!! I know all the dogs that were on the street – sometimes I don’t know what they look like but I know who they are – I know exactly when she doesn’t put something special in my food and what’s missing – I know what I’m not supposed to do but sometimes I have a hard time not doing it – I remember where my my chew toy is even if it’s under the sofa and I remember exactly what the door sounds like when she’s trying to leave without waking me up…
