Now I Know What "It" Is!

"So You Want to Play, Then?"
Originally uploaded by Kate Hamilton.

I do not even know where to start. First my BFFs Rocky and Paddi came to visit on Friday, and we played and walked together and slept too. Then they went home the next day, and Mommy and Daddy went away in the Ride for a while. It seemed like forever, especially for a Daddyday (aka Saturday). When they came back I was so happy to see them. But they came back all weird. First Daddy came in and went to the bathroom. Then he went back outside. Then Mommy came in and put my leash on. Oh yay, a walk! But she sure did smell funny. She smelled very strongly of Other Doggies.

We went on our walk and I could tell she was in a hurry. When we got back, I could smell more Other Doggy smells in the house! They led me over to my old Cave (which I hate), and there inside was...



...an Other Doggy.

They called him "Butters."

He let me sniff him then he licked my nose. He smelled like a baby, like my littermates smelled when I was a baby. He seemed a little shy so I introduced myself.



I made sure to tell him, "this was my house first and I am the boss."



I think he understood. I do not know, it is hard to tell, he does not say much. Except for "mnh mnh mnh mnh" when he is hungry, tired, scared, or has to go "chop chop."

It was not long before I showed him how to play. I showed him how to run around the house from the living room to the kitchen, and I let him nip my ears. I just have to be sure to remind him as much as possible that I was here first and this is my house and I am the boss.



As long as Butters gets that, everything should be just fine. Time to go play again...
