Hanging out on Monday

Hi again, bear here.

Today was a slow day for me. Mom let me stay out of my crate for a really long time this morning! I hung out with her for about an hour and then she had to get ready for work. She let me stay out of my crate! She must really be trusting me now! Mom had to go to work so I had to go in my crate for the rest of the day. I guess I don't really mind being in there because before daddy left, they bought me an orthopedic bed! It's one of those egg mattress-y things! It's pretty comfy and the underside is red which is perfect because its close to my favorite puppy color, pink!

While mom was at work I chewed on my bone and rawhide for a little bit, took a snooze and chewed some more. I think mom is happy I'm chewing on toys instead of her these days! I just couldn't help it before! I'm trying to be really good for mom while dad's gone and I think its working! I hear her talking on the phone to people telling them how well behaved I have been. It makes me happy that she's noticing how much I'm trying to be a good puppy. She told me earlier today that if I was good, I might be able to sleep in her bed tonight!

Mom took some pictures of me playing with my tennis ball tonight for Dad. (She's not as good at throwing down the hall as dad is but she's getting better...she didn't hit anything this time, don't worry dad!)

You can't tell from the pictures, but mommy vaccumed the carpets the other day! My little paw prints have been all over so it doesn't look it..but, wow, this place is CLEAN!

Mom told me dad mentioned me in an e-mail from last night. My heart got a warm fuzzy feeling. I really miss him. Sometimes I cry a lot when mom leaves because I'm scared she's going to leave too. She does promise me that dad is going to be home soon and that he loves me so that is all that really matters.

I think mom is getting tired so I'm going to go outside and then try to hop into bed.

Goodnight,

xoxo
