I have spent four sunsets now in the RODEO system. While I was unsure at first whether it was a good idea to engage with the other dogs living here, I have come to learn that they are great fun! I enjoy playing with my great-aunt Echo, my cousin Alta, and my aunt Nexpa. My cousin Pixley is a bit of a pain - she is always barking and getting up in my business. I keep my eye on her when she is around. The best thing I have learned so far is "popcorn". The papa here says popcorn is an important tradition to be started early. I thought popcorn was great! I also really like meal time.
So far, I have been on several car rides and visited our vet, Dr Autumn Davidson, the "Merc" and I have been to the post office twice looking for someone named Shirley, but I just keep meeting these guys Joseph and Tong. The mama here says Shirley is the postmaster and really likes puppies. The other guests at the post office all enjoy my visits. I have met the neighbors, the gardening team, this big guy called Holland, and lots of other people out and about.
My mama says you can tell I am a real Swissy as I insist on sleeping under the desk or under the chair when she works, so that she can't move at all and also I follow her every time she leaves the room, no matter how sleepy I get.
The biggest thing I seem to be failing to get through to these people is what time to eat breakfast! When 6 am comes I squeek and squak, but the mama here says its not 6 am "Pacific time" yet. I am working on this. So far, I will keep trying to help her understand what time I like to wake up in the morning. My previous mamas were very well trained.
