Your Daily Dose of Puppy (at least for now)

 Good morning, Farm Friends!  Forrest- here. 

 It’s so nice to make your acquaintance (as you can see my manners are impeccable… or was that impractical?). Well whatever - Mom and Dad tell me I’m a good boy.  I’m bringing you today’s post because Mom and Dad are very busy right now.  I was so surprised when Mom told me how many people wrote welcome notes for me.

So, I thought I would tell you all about my first two days in my new home.

Apparently I am a two - person job right now.  I’m not sure what a job is but Mom keeps telling me I’m going to have one when I get a little bigger… and after my listening ears work a little better!  

She also says I need to grow into my body, because my back legs are faster than my front ones.  I just love running.  Dad yells, “run, Forrest, run!”

I have lots of new friends already.  

One of my favorites is Bobby cat. 

 I tried wrestling with him on my first day, but he boxed my ears.  So, now I have learned to be gentle with cats (mostly), although sometimes I nibble on his ears.  He doesn't seem to mind much.

We take lots of walks and I try real hard to keep up with the big dogs,

but sometimes I just have to stop and take a little rest.  

I have gotten a lot more adventurous on our walks, but always keep one eye out for Mom or Dad.  They make me feel safe and secure.

I've learned a few lessons.  I'm pretty sure that my name is Forrest.  But, it also might be that kissy sound that Mom always makes.  I'm sure I will understand it all very soon.  Anyways, when she makes that kissy sound, I run as fast as I can to her, because then she gives me lots of hugs and kisses and tells me how good I am!

I also learned that it's good to stop and smell the flowers - but to stay away from those buzzing things.  Dad says they are dangerous.

I helped Mom in the garden.  She was doing something called  "picking peas", which confused me because peeing is something I do an awful lot.  Anyways, I tried to show her how much more efficient it is to just pull out the whole plant!  I don't think she was impressed.

I've also learned that there is something that makes Mom and Dad real happy - they give me treats and make a fuss over me.  It's called "go potty outside."

Dad says I'm a real farm dog now.  I made a tunnel in the hay and snacked on some tasty treats in the dry lot.  Dad said they were horse poop. 

 

Mom said "yucky!"  

I said, "they're deeee-lishus!"

Well, that's about it for today.  I need a nap (again).

Sending butt wiggles and puppy kisses,

❤️Forrest
