Hello,

195 Days. It has been 195 long, painful days. You can’t begin to understand what I’ve been going through these last few months. Everything is wrong. Nothing is right. I don’t even know where to begin.

This past winter was wonderful. The fireplace was going, the house got a fresh coat of paint on the inside, the new colors are warm and inviting, and there were so many great places to lay. New furniture came in April and it was great. I have a brand new purple chair that I love to sit in and a couch in front of the big picture window that I get to look out of.

Then it happened. June 7. Matt and Sarah came home and I was swept off to the basement. I didn’t know what was going on. I’m not usually shut down there. It was very confusing and something smelled different. I couldn’t quite place it though.

That night, there was a strange noise coming from the bathroom. I’d never really heard it before but it didn’t seem right. The next day I was shut in the basement again. I couldn’t get answers. Finally, Matt and Sarah went outside and I sat to watch them in the window. Then I saw it. I couldn’t believe what they had done.

A dog. They had gotten a dog. A puppy to be precise. 4 months old. Full of energy. A disaster.

It’s been a long 195 days since then. I tried to beat the beast into submission but my lack of front claws made this highly ineffective. She just thought it was a game. I finally learned that they were calling her “Amelia”. I tried to ignore the dog, that didn’t work either. She kept following me around. Matt and Sarah kept saying “she just wants to be friends” but I don’t. I just don’t know.

Amelia and I have slowly started to come to an accord. We found a mutual like for the couch and we lay up there together sometimes. We also can share the bed with Matt and Sarah. Even I have to admit it is nice having another critter around the house with me, it was getting a little lonely during the day.

I’m hoping the next few months we can continue to come to an arrangement on how things will work around here. Given her height, I may even find her useful and we can really team up for some adventures.

I hear tags. The dog is coming. Time to run.

Happy Holidays and have a wonderful 2014!

Until next year,
Bijou

…. Hello? Hi? Hello!!!!

Oh… I’m not sure what I’m doing…. This is strange. I’ve never typed before…. This is going to take some practice I think…

My name is Amelia and I’m the new puppy!!!! I can’t tell you how great it is I am here. This is just the best house ever in the whole wide world and I am soooooooo happy to be able to stay here.

I came up from Alabama to the Humane Society when I was 3 and a half months old and it was really scary and I didn’t know what I was going to do. They had me in a really, really big cage though so it wasn’t too bad.

One day I was sitting there and all of a sudden two people walked in and stopped and looked at my cage and they just stared at me for a while and I was really excited to see them but I didn’t want to scare them so I just sat there and I didn’t make a sound and I didn’t jump because I didn’t want them to be afraid of me. (I’m really, really fierce you know….)

Finally they opened up my cage and they said we want this one and I got to go home with them and it has been the best thing EVER!!!!! I got to go on so many adventures around the City it was great. They took to me all of the bars and patios and everybody there spoiled me. I got all sorts of doggy treats and water and pets and it was just awesome.

Over the summer, my friend from across the street came over and played with me during the day while Matt and Sarah were at work so I didn’t get lonely and so I had a chance to take a quick trip outside. I was really sad when she had to go back to school and Matt and Sarah had long days but then they found out about Day Camp and it was the best thing EVER!!!!!! Now, when Matt and Sarah have a really long work day, I get to go to day camp and run around and play with all of my puppy friends for 8 hours!!!! I come home and I am soooooooooooo tired that I can barely get up on the couch.

Now that winter is here I am a little sad. I don’t get to go out to the patio’s anymore because of snow. I also have hard time going outside because my coat is so thin and my paws get cold and it starts to hurt and it makes me sad because the snow is so much fun but I don’t like that my paws get so cold. Sarah found some puppy boots though and a jacket and now I can wear those on my walk and I get to RUN and JUMP and POUNCE and do whatever I want in the snow because I don’t get cold.

I am really, really excited because in a few days I get to go on a BIG road trip back to Michigan to meet a whole bunch of people. I may have even met some of you before you got this card…. I’m fast like that… FAST PUPPY!!!!!

I can’t wait to see all of you and give you kisses and say hello!!!!!!!

Love,
Amelia
