Banished

                                                            
Okay so I'm not really banished but I did spend the day today in my new work day living quarters - the family room.   Not so bad, not much furniture to chew on, or any remotes to play with or other "entertainment" equipment to mess with but there was a lot more company, a big futon bed to lay on and some toys/bones out.   I figured out not to be pooping in the living area (the other cresteds explained that) but I did have to "mark the spot" in one area.   FM says she'll let that one go but we need to work on that or the belly band will have to be used.   Oh NOOOOOO not that!  (what is that exactly?)

FM and I did spend some time in the living room after work, just the two of us tonight and she fed me cream cheese.   The condition was that I had to come closer to her to get it.  Stilllll not convinced 'that' is a good idea but the cheese was pretty yummy!   I also got an extra 'pick up' tonight and FM sat with me in her big wing chair (the one I like to use as home base).   She petted me and told me what a handsome boy I am (she's at least smart enough to get that).  She also said I'd be way more handsome if she trimmed up the very long hair on my feet.  She also trimmed the hair on the bottoms and said it would be "...so much better to grip the floor with Louie".  She gave my feet a little massage and also clipped my nails and I closed my eyes and did my best to pretend it wasn't happening.   Be verrrrry stillllll.  All in all, not bad and not a drop of blood was shed (hers or mine).

There was much excitement just before dinner tonight when a creature FM called a "Girl Scout" came to the door.  Everyone barked and carried on and FM made us all go to the family room while she opened the door.  She even let this "Girl Scout" creature and her Mom come in the house and say hello to us.  Everyone got very pushy about getting their turn and I wasn't sure what to think - both of them being girls and all.   FM told me I was very very brave though just coming over to the gate for a moment to see what was going on.  I couldn't stay long cuz I had to guard our food in the kitchen (I don't know that you can trust those Girl Scout creatures).

So goodnight my blog friends and tomorrow FM says her really smart trainer dog friend is coming over to help us figure out the best plan for my training.  Heck I don't need no trainin!
