A New PUPPY!!?!

Joey, the new puppy, with MY upright, and me!

My perfect life is no more.  I went from being queen of the house and a drama star to being miserable and annoyed.  I thought I was my upright’s puppy.  But then she brought home “him.”  His name is Joey and he’s a tyrant.  He stole all of my toys and he tried to nurse on me.  YUCK!!!!  I told him with a deep growl that I was not his MOTHER. 
Joey is 8 weeks old and is a Border Collie like me (but not as cute).  Everyone says “he’s adorable,” and “soft,” and “cuddly.”   But I’m all those things too!  Most of the time I crate myself because I just don’t want to be around him. 
My upright still takes me for runs, hikes, and to do programs.  I love being away from the puppy.  My performances have taken on a new meaning for me.  I am the center of attention there and I’m a star.  Everyone loves me and I receive all kinds of treats. 
But my home life has changed.  I know what I’m going to do!  I’m going to dig a hole in the backyard under the fence and then show it to the puppy.  I’ll explain to him that more toys and adventure await on the other side of the fence.  Once he’s on the other side, I’ll close up the hole and stand guard.  He’ll conveniently disappear!!!!  HA,Ha….  I’ll update everyone on my plan to “Make the Puppy Vanish” next week!!!  Until then, think about me and if you see me performing at a show, please bring me treats!!!
