Me again. So much to tell you. So much fun. It's only been a week. One short week and I feel like I've been here all my life.

Remember my first night here? Remember I told you I slept until they woke up. It Worked!! They are going to keep me forever.

Guess what? I haven't done it again. Something wakes me up every morning at 3:30 and tells me I have to pee pee. They take me outside into the yard and I do my pee pee but they don't look really happy. Their hair is all sticking up and they are groggy. But, a girl's gotta' do what a girl's gotta' do.

My lady took me for a walk. Boy oh boy. So many smells and everything was new. We didn't go far. We went home after just a few minutes and she put the leash away. Forever.

Next day they put this thing on my nose. Off we go, walking. What??? I can't smell stuff? What??? I can't walk from side to side and back again? What??? I have to walk in a straight line with my head up??? Well, I wasn't very fond of that but we did walk much longer. More fun and even though it's cold, I have the nifty pink coat.

I am walking exactly how they want me to. I am pretty smart.

Another day we went farther. This time with the lady and she took me into a store. Yup. A store. I sat in a very pretty pose and guess what? A treat!! They gave me a treat!! Walking is going to be so much fun.

Now then. Let's talk about my play date. It was the best day of my WHOLE life. Gigi came over with her lady and, honestly, we loved each other the second she came through the door. We wanted to play right there in the house. People are funny about things like that. Out we went to MY back yard and the fun started. Gigi is smaller than me. But, boy can she run. We ran. We leaped. I got her down. We did zoomies. We did this for what people call a half an hour. Cold? Sure. We're in Ontario and it's winter but we didn't care. We had so much fun. I really like Gigi.

So far, I have had a play date with my BFF Gigi. I walk in straight lines without pulling and sniffing. I have been allowed into THREE stores. And, one day I spent the morning with my man in an office. He sat at a desk and did stuff and I looked out the window at the street below.

We play a game. It's called Give Treats To Scarlett. My favourite. I sit the second the treats come out. My lady has taught me something called Down. Pretty weird at first. I sit. Nothing. No treat. She pulls MY treat along the ground. I follow. Finally, I was frustrated so just laid down. Bingo. Who knew? I got the treat. We do this every day now. And I remember it every time.

Today it is so cold outside that we are staying indoors all day. So far I have investigated a swiffer and chased a vacuum cleaner. The vacuum kept attacking me but I was very brave and just stood up to it.

Tonight I am meeting some new people. They are friends so they will probably be my friends too. They are coming here to have dinner with my people. It's not Gigi - darn - just people.

Scarlett is my name, Pride Rock Scarlett, to be exact. But I just get called Scarlett or sweetheart. I'm seven and a half months old and 55 lbs of curiosity and fun. I used to live with some people but it didn't work out so here I am now living with my two people, my humans, who look after me. We took a long car ride, with me all snug and safe in my kennel.

I have only been here a couple of days, but, so far, so good. I slept like a baby my first night here and didn't even wake them up once. 

There I am, eating on my own personal place mat.

They have a big back yard and I get to run out there. I run back and forth, up and down and back again. It's fun. I don't even mind the snow. I got to wear a coat. I look quite stunning in this coat, if I do say so myself.

There I am. Pretty swish, don't you think?

Some of the things I don't like. NO sleeping on the bed. Yikes. But I give it my best shot. NO getting up on the furniture. Yikes, again. I keep trying though.

Some of the things I do like. HIM. Here he is letting me cuddle him on the couch when they came to the house I was born in to take me home.

Kind of cruel, don't you think? Not letting me on the couch? I guess I will just make myself adorable all the time and maybe they will let me. I do have a comfy doggy bed right in front of the fire place. That's a pretty good second choice and they do sit with me and stroke me a lot.

There I am. Little old me on the big comfy bed in front of the fire.

Oh, yes. They did get me a whole bunch of toys to chew on. Some of them make noises and that's a lot of fun. Swinging the toy in the air and running after it makes them laugh so it must be good.

GOOD NEWS: I have a play date. A young lady by the name of GIGI is coming over with her human to run around our big back yard in a couple of days. I will certainly let you know how that works out.
