Into The Wild

I've been back at The House With The Creek with The Boy and The Girl for a while and let me tell you, it's been GREAT!  For some reason The Boy and The Girl are home with me all the time!  They never go off to the place where The Bouncy One and The Serious One go when they leave me all alone all day.  So I get all kinds of attention.  Sometimes, when The Girl is sitting down making clicking noises with her hands in front of a screen, I go over and put my head on her lap and she starts playing ball with me right in the house!  I hope The Bouncy One and The Serious One never find out -they probably wouldn't like that one bit.

But then a few days ago, I got really worried.  The Boy and The Girl started loading up for what looked like a long car ride.  I don't like long car rides because I get really queasy and also because usually I end up at a new house with new owners, like when I ended up at The House With the Cats.  I don't want anything to change -I have The Boy, The Girl, and The Creek and no cats!

But instead we ended up at The House With The Big Woods.  I like this place because I get to spend all day outside!  They never make me come back inside (although sometimes it would be nice to sleep inside.)  Anyway, at The House With The Big Woods lives The One Who Won't Touch Me, But Takes Me For Great Walks In The Woods.

Well, The Great Walker smells a lot like The Boy, just like The Serious One and The Bouncy One smell like The Girl, which makes me think that The Boy and The Girl are their puppies.  Anyway, The Great Walker doesn't like to pet me too much and I get the sense he's the one who won't let me come inside, but he makes up for it by taking me on great walks in the woods where I get to do anything I want!  I can explore and run around and sniff things, I can pee on whatever I want to and chase animals and I don't even have to walk with  anyone or stay on a leash!  

So after a few days of this, I decided that I could take myself for a walk on my own in the woods.  Even though I could hear The Great Walker calling for me, I thought I'd try to make it on my own and see if I could join a dog pack in the wild.  But after a while, The Boy and The Girl came out into the woods and were calling for me so I came back because they're my pack right now and I don't want to leave them.  Also, I remembered I hadn't been fed breakfast yet.

When we got back in the car for one more long car ride, we ended up back at The House With The Creek!  I was so happy to be living at The House With The Creek with The Boy and The Girl that when I heard a loud noise, I just tipped my head back and howled.  I was so excited, I didn't even stop to take the ball out of my mouth before howling!
