Hi guys, it’s me, Nutmeg. I get to tell you myself what has been going on with all of us puppies lately. And besides from the frequent baths, there has been a lot of fun stuff too.
This past weekend, there were lots of people to play with. They came to see me and my brothers and sisters. I haven’t found a forever home yet, but I know I will. There were lots of kids to chew on – some of them were pretty noisy and I was a little afraid. I kept running to a big person to make sure everything would be alright. I liked the kids once I realized that they were nice and were going to pet me. This weekend really wore me out. I slept tons! Then we all woke FM and FD up in the middle of the night for more playtime. Life sure is fun when you are a puppy!
Tennis shoes and slippers are some of my favorite chew toys! I don’t know why FM never wants me to chew on hers. She keeps saying something about needing shoe laces. I like to chew on the ropes and Nylabones we have too, but if one of my brothers or sisters takes it I will go right back to the nearest shoe. FM just says I am a puppy and will grow out of it, and in the meantime, I will need a lot of toys of my own to play with when I am little. Sounds good to me – you can totally spoil me with all of the toys you want to! We played with tennis balls and sticks out in the backyard this weekend. Tug-o-war with sticks is fun! Aunt Sammy, the dog who lives here all the time, played tug with me but she always wins. When I play with my brothers and sisters, I win a lot because I am on the bigger side.
FM says when I am not trying to chew her shoes, I am a pretty calm puppy. I like to sit on the sidelines and watch the others play. When a game looks really fun, I will go run and join them. I don’t get scared too easily either. There was a lawn mower next door, and I only got a little startled the first couple of times it came close. Big dog barks from the neighbor’s dog also startle me, but I am just a puppy after all. Someday I will be able to give big barks too. I don’t know how big I will get since FM says we don’t know anything about my dad.
We are going to the vet this Wednesday and I will get to see how much I have grown in the past couple of weeks. It is our six-week checkup. I think it will be a pretty fun time with all the new people to sniff and lick. FD says I give good puppy kisses and maybe I can find someone there to give some kisses too.
I really want to find a home of my own – one with lots of toys and some people to play with. I have been told that I am really sweet and like to cuddle when I am watching the others play. If you want me to come live and play with you, just let me know!!
