An Update to My Family (from Addie)

(note from Sandy: Since Addie can't really type, she dictated the following to me...)



Things are going well here at the Pool house. I've been here a week now and it feels pretty comfortable. I'm a little bummed that I have to be on the tie out, but I understand there will be lots of new grass to run in soon and I can be patient and wait. One time, though, I lost my patience and took a romp around Derek's freshly seeded lawn... a few romps, actually. It wasn't much and I'm sure the grass will be fine but I have noticed that Sandy is more careful when she attaches the hook on my tie out, now.

I was a little confused at first when you left me here at night, but I've adjusted to sleeping in the other bedroom. I tried to sleep with the girls and the boys but for some reason they didn't want my climbing up on their beds with them so I have been given nice quarters in the adult bedroom-- with the door shut. That hasn't stopped me from sleeping on the daybed from time to time.

I haven't escaped and have been very good, except I really like that black mat right outside the back door for going potty on... but Sandy doesn't seem too fond of that idea. And for some reason I wet my bed a little last night, but Sandy washed the cover and gave me some towels until it was clean again. She loves doing laundry for another person... or animal, I guess.

Those little people sure are loud and busy. They are always taking me for walks and climbing on me and running from room to room. Just when I get settled snoozing next to them somewhere they either run off and I have to follow to see what is going on or they decide to come hook the leash on me again. I've been very good, again, and let them do it willingly. And I've only jumped on them a few times, but they just got me so worked up to play I lost my head! I went to Jack's Tball game and made a few new doggie friends. One violent little thing attacked and I had to retreat, but otherwise it was a lot of fun. (note from Sandy: A chihuaua charged her and she was obviously frightened... it was kinda funny since she's three times the size of that little thing!)

I've been taking lots of naps on whatever they leave lying around:


And I've become quite educated during school time (although I usually sleep by the window, or watch out it for interesting passers-by):

And although they're running me ragged, this is the best place to get seconds that I've ever been!

(note from Sandy: the floor after a meal.... Addie has learned to hang out in the kitchen, smart dog that she is.)

Have a nice time in Wisconsin. I miss you, but can manage to hang on here for awhile longer. Give that baby a lick, I mean kiss, for me!

Love,

Addie

Thanks for the update. We miss you Addie!! Sorry about her running around the backyard. Hopefully that doesn't affect the grass. Thanks again for dog-sitting:)
