Musings: Apparently I Snore…

My snore is soft and quiet and is nothing like my bark. I have a very loud bark, Mom tells me louder than all the other pups. I use it to alert Mom and Dad to strangers and I am learning there are times not to bark or to have what Mom calls “my inside voice”. My bark is distinct she says, just like Tesla, Lincoln and Porsche. Mom can tell us each apart, as we each have a different tone to our bark. Tesla has the most distinct bark, raspy, like a “little old man”. I sadly learned why. When he was in the puppy mill he was rescued from, they damaged his vocal cords so he wouldn’t bark. So his bark sounds more like a gruff ruff! It makes me sad that some people, inspired by greed are so mean that they would hurt my brother. I’m just thankful Tesla was rescued and is now my big brother. Learning how brave he must have been helps me admire and love him even more.

It’s another very rainy morning. We will stay snuggled with Dad until it’s time for our walk. Then our day will begin, as we jump through the puddles and I’ll scout for squirrels. We love the time during the day with our Dad and the fun adventures, some we don’t share with Mom, because she might not be happy to know how adventurous we sometimes are. But Dad, always keeps us safe. Even though, I love time with Dad, I’ll be counting the minutes until Mom comes home and I can snuggle some more. I think snuggling is the best part of my new life. I’m feeling very blessed this morning. Love to all.
