Wow, it sure is hot for Sept.
Speaking of βhot dogsβ, it was parent-orientation wiener roast and tour night at Carson Graham High School – Ryder Peeps just started there – and I got to go! So many kids and parents approached me because they wanted to brag about Carsonβs 2 new PADS dogs. Many because they thought I was one of Diego or Aslan – who are yellow like me – but couldnβt figure out why they had shrunk. I was a celebrity doggelganger x 2! Turns out, Iβm considered small! Weight loss successfulβ¦bula! I was very proud to be a PADS dog that day, especially when Diegoβs person (sheβs a school counsellor and teacher), told me and Chuck-peeps that the only reason one kid came back to school after they were so stressed in the first days, was because they were assured Diego would be there to greet them. It was only day 11 of the school year, and EVERYONE knew about the PADS dogs- by name! So many complimented me AND PADS – they all said I was beautiful and gazed at me – per usual, over the last 16 months. I think I look pretty normal and like all the other yellows, but they all seem to see something special in me.
Chuck peeps thought it was funny to take a snap of me sitting next to this sign that says Bad Dog Bread. Itβs not the dog (me) thatβs bad – she says itβs the carbs in the breadβ¦, “It goes straight to [her] hips.β
I keep hearing people say βOh myβ¦. DID I stick MY FOOT in my mouth! βAnd it sounds just like when peeps say βOh myβ¦ ISNβT that a cute PUPPY/KITTEN/BABY/ anything precocial-esque really. So, I tried itβ¦I put my foot in my mouth. β¦.Mehβ¦.donβt taste the appeal.
We went to The Twilight Drive-in Movie Theatre! It was just about to close forever. Chuck-peeps walked me before the movie started – there were SO many other dogs out for their last constitutional, who came to see the Movie TOO! Even though it said βno dogs allowedβ on the sign. It also said βno outside food”, but they brought White Spot with them, and shared a bit of burger with me. Chuck-peeps says a favourite memory with their previous furry Gurls Seuss and Skoo, (consecutive), was taking them to the Drive-in. They watched the movie with them, but I preferred the pre-show snack, followed by a nap. Chuck-peeps wanted me to see the screen and take a snap for posterity – so here we are!
As far as my training – itβs going pretty good, however, I really donβt like when they put food right in front of me – and in this picture right on my paw too. I mean what in the worldβ¦whoβd do that?! – just lay there with perfectly good food, RIGHT IN FRONT of them. I asked them with my look of query, but all they did was tell me, Iβm a βgood dogβ take back the food and then give it to me out of their handβ¦. whatever; must be in my contract under miscellaneous duties- Iβll check with my agent.
Ok, this is exciting; I hear a big exciting change is coming up for me. They mostly only βtalkβ about it on text, but Chuck- peeps says the words out loud as she reads and typesβ¦ she is weird that way- she canβt keep a secret- she still doesnβt realize I understand people words. She said something about β finishing schoolβ and Teriβ¦.in October. I like Teriβs house, thatβs where I did my tryout to join a pack! I have a dog crush on the black dog that lives there β¦. βElectraβ β¦ oooh I love saying her nameβ¦Electra. Teri speaks dog fluently, and I can understand her much better than my current Peeps. I like knowing exactly what Iβm expected to do and how, – Iβm really looking forward to the change and my peeps live close by so the good-byes wonβt be too hardβ¦.Iβll let you know how it goes.
