When I came home

Ever since my birthday past another year. I've been having memories of myself as a puppy. I remember when my parents picked me up from the pet store. I slept on my mama's lap on the ride home. Luckily, I was able to hold my bladder til I got home. I didn't want to have an accident in my dad's car.

I remember that it was raining that day and cold. Mom covered me up with her jacket and carried my tiny butt to the car. This is me sleeping on my cushy bed at home. I loved sleeping at the beginning. Once I got use to the family, I was running around exploring the big house that I lived in. I smelled another odor in the house, which turned out to be a cat. That is what my family owned before, but was no longer around. They passed away a while ago, from what my mama said.

I'm the first puppy to be in this family. Even though I needed to be trained. My parents were being trained on how to take care of me since it is not the same with cats. They had to determine my pee and poo schedule of when to take me outside, which in the beginning was about every 2-3 hours. Also, my feeding schedule, which was about twice a day. I had kibble and sometimes wet food. However, I was bad with my poo schedule and would sometimes need to go sooner that I needed to. My parents weren't too happy when I had accidents around the house. About 3 months into living with my family, I got use to my schedule and it became routine.

I was also crate trained from the beginning, I always slept in my crate when my parents were not home or it was night time. I remember when I first arrived home, I wasn't use to the noises in a house and people walking around. I would normally bark, but these days I have gotten use to the house noises and only bark at random noises I hear outside. I like being a little "guard" dog that can tell when someone is coming to the house. I know no one would be scared of a little pup like me, who is so friendly. I think I would lick them to death and wanna be their best friend than attack anyone. LOL

Anyways, that was my life when I came home from the pet store.

Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, Coconut Oil and Banana Dog Treats

Before the year ended I finished all the dog treats mama had made for me a couple of weeks ago. So she tried a new recipe but added a few things. Mama ran out of the baby oatmeal from the last batch. So she used regular Quaker oats and used the food processor to grind it finely. Anyways, we hope you enjoy making these treats as much as we did.  Ingredients:  1 1/4 cup Oatmeal 1/4 cup peanut butter 3 tablespoon Coconut Oil 1 medium banana Directions:  Grind up oatmeal. Place in large bowl, mix in banana, coconut oil, and peanut butter.  Create small balls and and then flatten them with a spoon Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake for 15-20 minutes. When done, leave in oven to cool. This makes the treats firm up. 

Loyal Companion Grand Opening

Mama went to the grand opening of Loyal Companion this weekend in Rockville, Md. She picked up a free goodie bag with new treats and bought us some small toys. I already chewed up and tore up my blue birdy. Sister got the unicorn and we have the sock monkey left to play with. I can't wait for mama to open up the new treats for us to munch on~!

Grooming Stitch

Last week, mama went through a phase where she brushed me for a whole week, since I was shedding so much. Mom was so frustrated with my undercoat.  Mama here: I researched how to get Stitch's shedding under control. I watched a youtube video of this lady, who has 14 corgis, showing her weekly routine of what she would do to keep her corgi's coat under control and keeping them beautiful. Brushing with a brush, then with an undercoat comb, she used conditioner's and paw balm.  I can also use this technique on Jade, even though her grooming is a lot easier for me.  Anyways, mom bought the  undercoat comb  (target, $6.99), after brushing me for a week and combed me out in the backyard. I had so much fur come off of me, that it could have been another small dog. I felt so much better afterwards too! Then she bought waterless foam shampoo by  wahl  ($5.99) for me and cleaned me up last night. The smell was coconut lime verbana. She rubbed it thoroughly into my coat
