Sassy the Mermaid

This is my first week at my new home.  We arrived on Saturday night - I think Peggy and Joe and Leiden (the little white dog) must have had a long day.  They arrived after dinner and we left my foster home immediate to get on the road.

When we got to the house, there was such a commotion.  It seemed like there were dogs everywhere!  They were so happy to see Peggy and Joe and very interested to meet me!  At first I wasn't sure about all the attention but Peggy let me get out of my crate, and let everyone introduce themselves while I was in the truck and actually taller than everyone.

Then I got out of the truck and everyone was really nice.  I think I'll like it here.

Sunday we just hung around the house and played.  It was fun.

Monday, Peggy took me for a car ride to her office.  I enjoyed meeting everyone she works with.  Things were going really well until this big giant black dog showed up - his name was Pete.  I barked at him, he barked at me - there was a big commotion.  I guess I scared him away because he left right away and didn't come back.
 
On Tuesday I stayed at home.  I didn't have to stay in my crate though - I stayed in the master bathroom.  There was this really interesting little door in there and I managed to figure out how to pull the lock off.  I didn't go out the door but I sure think I've figured out how it works.

Wednesday I stayed home again.  I could tell that Joe tried to fix that lock, but he didn't do a very good job.  I got the lock off, then tore that little door right off the wall.  Yipee, I'm was out of the bathroom and outside!  Oops, not really outside, just on the pool deck.  Yes, there was a pool - a big beautiful pool, with lots of water.  I decided since no one was home, I would just take a little swim.  I swam around and around - a little back stroke, a little butterfly, a little breast stroke - just a fee laps,  then got out, shook myself off and sunned for a little while.  Then I heard Joe's truck and I quick jumped back through the little door and into the bathroom.  Maybe he won't notice what I've done???

I heard him tell Peggy the story when she got home for work - she seemed really scared.  She said she was so happy that I could swim and didn't drown, whatever that is.

Anyway, on Thursday, they let me stay in the whole bedroom including the bathroom.  That was great - I slept on Fawn's big bed all day.  I did check out that little door as I thought I might go for another swim.  Joe fixed it good this time - its covered in sheet metal and has a bunch of screws in it.  Anyone got a screwdriver?
