Going To The Vet Tomorrow For Check-Ups

Hi everyone!

Joey and I go to the doctor tomorrow for check-ups. I don't mind going, but they will put me on the scale. I don't think it's going to be good. I haven't been walking as much as I should because it's just so hot. Joey is still not playing with me, so it's hard to burn calories.

Joey is doing fine. He loves to collect things. He moves the toys from his room to the living room. The other day he even moved a suitcase from the closet to the living room. He also carried in Mama's winter boots and a blanket. Mama said he doesn't realize he's staying here and he's packing his favorite things to take to the next place. He's silly. Mama says it's funny to hear thump, thump, thump and there's Joey with a new treasure in his mouth.

Joey loves to stand over the vent to cool off. He also lays on or near the vent. He is the king of roaching on the couch.





He doing well in his training. He hasn't had to use a belly band. He hasn't had an accident since Sunday, but Mama says we can't let our guard down.

We are still not friends, but we are not enemies either.

I told Joey that he needs to start writing the posts. He said he may in a day or two.

Oh, Brother!

I have to say that having a little brother is making my life a little more interesting. This morning, he got in the rocking recliner. That was pretty funny. He looked like he was trying to ride a surf board. He didn't stay up long, but I think he's going to try it again. Jack sat in a recliner when we first got the RV. I guess it's something boys do.

Joey actually sits and watches the squirrels.



He likes to cool off by standing over the air vent.
Last night, he learned to chew. He does not know the rules yet. The rules are that we swap our chews. He is supposed to get up to get a drink and I steal it from him and then he waits for me to get a drink and then he steals it from me. We both have our own, but Jack and I found stealing from each other was more fun. Joey never got up to get a drink, so we couldn't swap.


This morning, he chased me for about 10 seconds in the yard. We decided that was enough for now. We may try it more tonight.

Look What He's Doing Now!

He jumped up on the couch last night with Mama and cuddled with her. :::sigh::: I thought I would have a few more days on the couch without him.

This morning, instead of helping us in the office, he is doing this:

I Think I Got A Dud

I've had a new brother for about 24 hours and I think he's a dud. This morning, we went out to the backyard and he wouldn't play with me. He was too concerned about getting his muzzle off. Sheesh.... I don't like wearing the muzzle either, but we have to wear it to play, at least for now.


He didn't know how to lay down to eat a treat at first.




Joey doesn't know how to play with toys. He has been moving them from the bedroom to his bed and then he tries to play, but can't find the squeaker. Yep, he's a dud for sure.



He really likes to look out the windows.


Grandma and Grandpa came over and they brought Joey a card and inside was money for treats. Grandma said that I could pick them out. YES!!!! I know the good stuff and I already know what we are getting.

Joey is starting to relax some, but he's still walking from room to room. Daddy said he's probably just enjoying his freedom because he's been living in a kennel all of his life. I don't know, but it's very tiring watching him walk around all the time.

I guess he's kind of cute, but he's just a dud right now.

Joey Is Here - Part 2 - Pictures

Well, Joey doesn't seem to stand still long enough for photos.

Here I am on the way to meet him.



Here's Joey!



He looked out the window like this the entire ride.


Mama got a little carried away marking the window. Joey still hit it with his muzzle when he first came in.

We will get some better photos tomorrow after he calms down. He's always lived in a kennel, so he doesn't know what living in a home is like. I bet he gets used to the comfy feeling really fast.
