Well, another day has come to a close. I had a lot of fun today! Dad took me out in the back yard and let me run around off leash. Right now I stay close, but some day I want to check out more of my surroundings.

I went for another car ride. I'm not sure where they took me, but I'm pretty sure heard them say Friend's Boat Launch and something about geocaching. Well, I saw a really big dog there and he made me scared, so Mom & Dad decided to come again a different day.

Tomorrow Mom said she is going to take me to meet some of her coworkers. I'm looking forward to that. Everyone I meet just loves me, so the more cuddling I can get, the better!!

Well, Mom's calling me, so I better go. Talk to you again real soon!!

My New Home

Hi. Sorry I didn't type right away, It took me a bit to settle into my new home with my new parents.

Anyway, I should start by introducing myself. My name is Sherwood's Emmet, Emmet for short, and I'm a Border Terrier. My parents gave me the name of Emmet because my breed should have an otter shaped head, and my new Mom liked to Watch "Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas" back when she was a kid. I just turned 15 weeks old today and I was born on March 22, 2009.

Last Friday, my new parents (I'll just say Mom & Dad from now on) picked my up and brought me home. It was a pretty long car ride, but they stopped part way and took me into a store where I was allowed to walk around on a leash and check things out. I met a cute Maltese and we said hello politely. I'm still nervous of new things, so I did my best not to make the Maltese not like me. After the store, we got back in the car for another long ride. I didn't mind, though, since I got to sit on Mom's lap the whole way.

Once we got to where I now know is my new home, Mom & Dad walked me out around this BIG yard. I liked that. For now they will keep me on a leash, but I hope to be good enough that I will be allowed to run and play in that yard!! Well, next they brought me inside and I got to check out the areas I will be allowed room-by-room. I could tell Mom & Dad were a little nervous, but I showed them what a good boy I am, and they felt better.

My first night was a little rough. I've been used to sharing a crate with other puppies and my Dog Mom for so long, I was kinda scared. I eventually settled down and I got a little sleep.

Yesterday was fun. I took a little walk with mom and all 3 of us played in the yard several times. I still tire quickly, but Mom & Dad were good about not overdoing it. I spent the day between napping and playing. Mom had some friends stopped by and I behaved while they were there. Way later, I met another dog and some other friends of my parents. That dog didn't want t play with me, so Dad kept me safe so I didn't get the dog mad enough to hurt me.

Today has been another good day. Well, except for the little bit when Mom & Dad left me alone. I'm not sure what they were doing and I didn't think they would ever return, but they did.

So, that's all for now. I hope to keep you updated on all my doings. I think Mom & Dad want to get me into to some fun stuff where I can chase after things. I guess I'll have to see what they have in store for me. Oh, one last thing before I sign off, take a look at my "prison mugshot"....
