The first day of our new life


OCTOBER

Thurs 11th
So our first day was a bit strange and they got us up sooooo early, we weren’t impressed at all. They then made us go outside and it was cold and damp - not like Greece:-) We got some breakfast in a bowl eat and had a water bowl, wasn’t really used to it but they seemed pleased with us both. It wasn’t too bad we went for a wee and had a poo. Dad then said goodbye he looked quite sad and went off to work.  We didn’t mind as mum was still here and she kept us company.  Mum tried to get us to sit for treats which we did a few times, although didn’t really understand her much. Mum kept trying to leave us in the kitchen for a bit but we knew she was in the room next door, we don’t know what that room is yet as they keep shutting us out.  Before dad came home we were given some more food in these bowls, was quite nice though but bit dry and crunchy. Mum and dad tried to take us for a walk (whatever that is) on our leads, we didn’t like it at all.  We only really stood outside and then we saw this other dog and both growled and barked at it. Not sure if we were protective or just scared. Mum and dad weren’t happy so they took us back in the garden and let us off our leads.  Tonight we slept in our crate with the door open as mum and dad felt we were being so good.

Fri 12th
Today dad got up but mum wanted a lay in so she was going to feed us later. We didn’t let her though as we howled a bit after dad went to work.  She wasn’t happy and came downstairs and opened the back door for us. We didn’t really want to go out and eventually she made our breakfast as she said she was awake now.  She went away again for an hour or so and left us in Kitchen, we tried to behave. We had a mad few minutes in the garden running around after she was up but she realised we didn’t eat our breakfast.  A nice lady came to meet us in the morning, she sat with us in the hallway and said we were lovely and gave us cuddles.  We liked her and mum said she was going to come in daily to see us when she was at work.  The postman posted some letters through the door and although we sniffed it, it was boring so we ignored it.  We barked and ran up the hall when we heard some loud noise outside, don’t know why we just did - mum laughed. There seems to be some loud machines in the kitchen but we don’t really mind them too much. When dad came home he was pleased and we wagged our tails.  Later that night they put us on our leads and put us in the car, we didn’t know where we were going. They took us to the VETS, which wasn’t too bad, although had to wait in the car for a long time as mum and dad didn’t want to take us in because there was lots of other dogs there. We were weighed and had some injections which were ok, but we didn’t like the kennel cough up our noses - we wriggled a bit but we got treats afterwards for being good boys. Mum and dad were so pleased with us that they let us in the room next door, it was the lounge and has a nice big chair for us to sit on with mum and dad. Because we were good we slept in our crate with the door open.

Sat 13th
We had a lovely lie in today:-) Well we got left for 2 hours on our own today, it was a bit strange especially as dad had taken our crate out the kitchen but left our bed.  We had a bit of rough and tumble and knocked over the kitchen bin, dad wasn’t very happy when he came home, but it wasn’t our fault really. Mum and dad bought us new beds though and we love them, they are very comfy.  We don’t sleep in them at night, we still like our crate as its our place of safety.  It was a lovely sunny day so we played in the garden with dad. Dad also let us into the lounge again today- we had a sniff around, but we did keep getting told “no” quite a few times.  We even managed to get on the sofa, don’t think mum was impressed to start off with. Today was a good day mum and dad both at home and we had fun. We also had a late night and we were very tired.

Sun 14th
It was raining today and we didn’t want to go outside, but mum and dad said we had to. We kept getting our paws dried when we came back in the kitchen. Mum and dad kept talking about going for a walk but we don’t know what this is.

Mon 15th
So today starts our new routine as mum and dad have to go to work.  We don’t like being left, but we mostly sleep all day so its not too bad.  We see dad first and he gives us our breakfast and we have a run around the garden, then mum comes downstairs and we get a fuss.  After a while mum and dad go out and leave us but we are very good and don’t bark or howl, they leave the radio on for us so its not too bad. We have some nice ladies come in to see us at lunchtime, they let us out into the garden for a wee and a poo and give us some fresh water.  They start to try to get us to sit down and when we do we get treats. We can’t wait for mum to come home though every day and we jump and wag our tails when we see her.  We get our dinner before dad gets home but can’t wait to see him either.  We have a little play and more treats before bed time and cuddles with mum and dad. 

Tues 16th
Nice lady bought another lady to meet us today so she may be coming to visit us too. She was ok, we like all the fuss from people.  Hmm when dad got home today they tried to get us into harness’. Don’t mind the blue colour but don’t like the harness going over head. Charlie doesn’t mind too much but Bobby hates it. 

Weds 17th
Hmm dad took Charlie out on lead today but they weren’t out long.  I didn’t even notice as mum was tickling my belly. Charlie was very excited when he got back though.

Thurs 18th
Well mum and dad took us both out round the block tonight. Charlie was in his harness and Bobby had lead.  It was dark but we didn’t see anyone.  They kept saying we were good, so thats something. We got treats when we got home too. 

Fri 19th
Lady didn’t come to see us until bit later today, she put our harness’ on before she let us out but it wasn’t too bad, she gave us treats too and said she’d see us next week. Mum and Dad took us out for a walk around the block again.  It was warmer and lighter today. We didn’t like th either dogs we saw and growled at them. We got told off and mum and dad explained that we had been rescued. We don’t think they were happy and said we had to learn more. We still got treats when we got home although dad shouted at us when we pawed the sofa, although he soon chilled and we had cuddles. 

Sun 21st
