I think I'm gonna like it here!

Doo Log, 1/5/2017

They keep telling me this, and I'm now starting to believe it...I think that I may actually be pretty amazing.  I've discovered lots of hidden talents while living this place; they're sure to find me irreplaceable soon enough.  Who else could do these things but me??

For instance, I am the only one around here who...

  • checks in between the couch cushions every day for stowaway rodents
  • kills any and all cotton balls before they have a chance to grow into storm clouds
  • wins at eating dinner (I can finish in under 10 seconds)
  • digs holes in the yard to check for moles
  • fluffs the carpet with my paws and body
  • checks all of the trash cans in the house for squirrels
  • supervises toilet use to prevent accidental drownings
  • prepares for the apocalypse by stashing bones and rawhides all over the backyard
  • kills and eats flies who dare invade our home
  • wakes everyone each morning with warm smooches (even if this is not their preferred method of being awoken, I do know best, after all...I'm ME)
  • can do a somersault on the couch and not fall off, and can also do one AND fall off
  • has a tongue that, when I yawn (I win at that too), looks like one of those party favor whistles that unroll when you blow in them
Ahh, it feels good to be in an environment where my expanding list of talents can really flourish. Now if I can manage to get them on-board with my human-leash idea, we may even start making some cash!

Doo Log, stardate 12/12/2016:

This is a strange place.  Everyone keeps looking at me, and smiling.  Is there something on my face?  I want to be alone but I want to be with these weirdos at the same time.  I am very conflicted.
There are a few things that I think I will like here though.  The one who sings all of the time gave me a treat.  I liked that.  Then she gave me some ham.  I liked that too.  When she offered me another treat, I politely declined.  The ham was way better.
The two baby humans seem to drop food all over the place, which is amazing.  I will show them what a good helper I can be when it comes to cleaning up! 
Everyone here seems to think that I'm pretty funny, which I think I might like too.  I tried doing some silly flips on the couch this morning and tossed a rawhide around, and that was pretty funny.  I made my own tail wag!
I think that they might catch on that I am much younger than they originally thought...I cannot pass as "mature," but that seems to be pretty common around here.
