Happy Halloween! We’re toy soldiers!
Tis the season! Already?! | thepupdiary.com
23 OctWe haven’t even worn our Halloween outfits yet and the city has turned into one big advertisement for Christmas! I bet if we look hard enough we will see decorations for Valentine’s Day, too! What’s a doggy to do? We must admit that we do love the holiday season! Lots of presents, food, events, and vacation! We are going to be very busy pups the next few months touring the city and looking for fun!
Top Hat and Cocktails at the Ritz | thepupdiary.com
22 Oct“You are a really happy dog.” That’s what the animal communicator said to me the other night at the SPCA of Westchester gala at the Ritz Carlton in White Plains. “You are grounded and you are confident. You are happy.” Well I was in a room at the Ritz surrounded by food and doggy pals. What more could a doggy dream of? I was HAPPY!
My mom brought me to the event to help raise funds for the animals at the SPCA of Westchester. This was our third time attending this event and it gets better every year! I didn’t even mind the dress mom made me wear . . . it was actually quite comfortable and kept me warm. We stalked the silent auction and won two trips for next year! We’ll be heading back to Inn by the Sea in Maine – one of our most favorite places! We also won a trip to Cape Cod at Lamb and Lion Inn – “1 of the top 12 pet-friendliest places in the world” per CNN.com!
Our friend and role model, Maria Milito, was honored at the event for all of her work helping animals.
I was dumped at a shelter | thepupdiary.com
21 OctThe man dropped me off at a shelter in the suburbs. He said he didn’t want me anymore because I couldn’t be trained. I was peeing on his carpet and he didn’t like that . . . He didn’t even bother to walk me or have me on a schedule! How was I supposed to know when and where to pee?! I really did love the little girl in the house, but the man said I had to go.
I was passed around a bit in the shelter system and then came to live with my human mom. I still remember the first day I saw my mom. I came into her apartment and peed on her rug! I had a crate, a bag of icky dog food, a collar, and a leash. We walked over to the neighborhood dog store and bought a harness and some good food. My mom was a newbie and thought I would sleep in my crate. NOT! I was in her bed within two minutes of my whimpering. I have her wrapped around my paws!
So I’m not perfect. But who really is?! I bark at all kinds of people and things. I am the best barker around! One thing is certain – I am potty trained! Well, two things are certain. I am potty trained and I have the best human mom in the world! I follow her everywhere. I am her shadow.
It’s Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog month! You can find a pup just like me at your local shelter!
