learning steadily

Thursday now and I'm getting 'people' round to my way of thinking a bit more now. They seem to want to take me to the beach twice a day. I do like the beach.



Today however we did not make it to the beach. She took me to near the beach where there was lots of noise, other dogs barking and it freaked me out a bit. Think it freaked her out a bit too. So we came home.



Did a shit outside when I got back. Have found a bush that I like to shit on. So tend to do it there if I can get outside.



Went down the beach with Him yesterday. Noone else aaround. I really liked that. Then there was some strange people around though. Some making noises. Some sitting folded up - don't know what theyu were doing - He said 'reading' or something. Strange behaviour. Then there were others that were making a noise with a small dog. Didn't like that too much, but we walked by them and it was fine. On our way back though, we met two big black dogs. I've got my period so they were a bit interested in me and He had to lift me. It was a bit scary, so I wanted back into the metal thing that takes us to the beach and back. Safer in there. Back to the house and I was OK then.



Haven't done any more woopsies on the carpet. Door seems to be open all the time, so I tend to go outside to do it. Think that's what they want. But what I don't understand is THEY seem to do all their business INSIDE. So I thought that was how it worked. We'll see.



Didn't want to eat anything on Tuesday. Until then I put up with the dry food they were giving, but I decided the time was right to mount a 'protest' about the quality of the food on offer. So I stopped eating. They were giving me the same dry stuff every day. I made them feed me by hand, but didn't really like it. Where was the proper food? So they gave in (ha ha) and gave me some other stuff. It is much more like meat and is delicious. I could eat and eat it. I ate half a tin that night. And I got the same the next morning. I like it very much. Hope they will keep the quality up from now on.



Seem to be dripping a bit more today. Period really kicking in. Feeling a bit down and vulnerable. Not just the new place, new people and surrounds. But this damned period is getting me down too. Seem to be getting encouraged to drip onto their blankets and towels. Seems stupid when it easily gets wiped off the floor. Strange habits.



Not much happened yesterday. It was a lovely day, so I spent much of it in the sun. The sun is really nice and helped my tummy feel a bit better. Better food also helped my tummy feel better.


Taught one of the 'people' to 'doggie dance' today. Quite good fun. I've now managed to get Her to dance with me. Took her a while to learn to do it, but she's getting there. I like to jump up and they seem to understand that alright, so it was just a step further to get her to move about a bit.


Off for now. Lots of lying around to do today, then off to the beach later. Bye for now. Meg
