It's Not All About Me?

                                                                                                  
Another day in this new place and I am up and moving more to be sure.  FM tried to explain to me last night how everytime she moves "It's not all about you (me)".  She said I don't need to be ready to run every time she moves because just her getting up to walk doesn't mean she's "gonna get me".   She also is trying to get me to understand that if she moves towards me that she isn't going to do anything bad and heck she isn't even alwas going to pick me up.  Sometimes she is just going to give me some cheese or maybe pet me a little.   I don't know, I still suspect worse.  

Although as she is writing this I just came in from outside and my tail is sorta up at half mast.   Of course she's locked me out from my home bases in the family room with all the other dogs and her sitting by the woodstove.   Hmmmm, maybe I'll go check out some of the smells while I'm up and about.

FM did say she knows I'm all crested since I am showing the crested circle routine.  I am feeling a little more relaxed though and FM said that it has only been 5 days and we aren't supposed to expect too much.   I did get pretty darned freaky when she was rushing around the house this evening while the smoke alarm was going off.   That was WAY too much movement that was WAY too fast!  No one else seemed to care but it made me a little worried.

I do really like these other dogs.   They don't seem to care if I'm here and some have tried to talk me into playing.  I'm trying, I got out of my box for a split second or two but then I remember I'm supposed to be worried (or I think I should).  Old habits die hard - or something stupid like that!

FM says she has hopes that I'll come around.  She knows it won't be a quick thing but that she is still very proud of me and how far I've come.  We've come to agreement that she HAS to pick me up to put me to bed at night but that she'll let me get out of my crate on my own.   Fine!   If it has to be that way.

Tomorrow is a new day!
