NEWS from Addie!!!
Hi Granny T, AddieTude - here. Sorry for the long time between communications, but these Inch people keep me very busy.
They are always taking vacations and are still being resistant to my training techniques. I am making some headway with them though, but you sure gave me a hard couple to bring around to my way of thinking. I got my rabies shots this week and have received my tags and can now visit the dogs at the local dog park. I am up to 28 pounds and growing by the minute. I look kind of out of proportion and kind of funny at the moment. I know that I will be awesome looking soon since I am a Thornapple Aussie.
Michael is going to take me to school in the fall when the local classes start. I hope he learns something.
These are the new tricks that I have learned;
Run with the toilet paper when Michael is not looking until there is no more on the roll. Pretty cool, Eh?
Unzip the cover on my crate mattress and tear up the foam stuff inside and spit it out of the crate.
Foam pads are meant to be shredded.
Bark at any thing that Michael pushes with wheels. I keep telling him to get me some sheep.
Make as many brown spots on Michael's grass as possible. He should paint smiley faces on them for fun.
The Invisible Fence rules. I respect and obey the flags and have lots of fun running around inside of the flags.
Grasshoppers taste bad. No puking though.
I don't want to play at 2:30 in the morning when Diann gets up to go to work sometimes. Let me sleep.
I scare myself in the windows sometime. I look like a scary dog until I figure out it is me. Duh!
I don't mind the fireworks and thunderstorms. I just ignore them. No big deal.
Have a great Summer Granny T. I keep asking the Inches to take me to see you at a show or something, but Michael keeps saying something about fishing is his current priority. Whatever. I am not impressed by the fish he has shown me, but they smell good when he is cooking them. I have not had a taste yet. Stingy guy. Love, Addie(tude)
Now you listen to your Granny, Miss Addie. Granny wants you to be nice to the Inches!
They are trying their best! It's been a long time since a puppy invaded their territory!
They can't remember things like puppies love to shred their beds!
No one told them that old bath towels make PERFECT puppy bedding.
Just you wait for obedience school Missy! The times they are be a changin'!
Love, Your Granny T
