Hi! Shelby here! I’m so excited because today marks five weeks in my new forever home with my new forever family. I’ve been a good girl this week and have stayed close to home, even when Dad let’s us out to greet Mom coming home from work. We hear Dad call “Mom’s Home” and there is a mad dash to see who can get to the door first! Even our cat, Miss Bentley goes to the door! But silly Dad, he doesn’t realize we recognize her car coming down the street, the smell of Mom’s scent growing closer, and we are already anticipating her arrival long before she steps out of her car. Pups are like that with an acute sense of smell and hearing. I sure love when my Mom comes home, even though I’ve had a great day with my Dad.
It was a fun week with my first road trip and sleep over. Mom found a great place right on the ocean where we could watch the seagulls from the window. But it was more fun when I could chase them on the beach. The older pups stay right with our parents, so they could be off their leads. Someday as I get a little older and learn to stay close, I hope they will let me do the same. One of the days we had a lot of rain and strong gusts of wind. Lincoln was scared of the noise, but I thought it was pretty cool. Besides Mom wasn’t afraid, so I knew it was okay for me too! I also got Porsche and Lincoln to play with me, and while Tesla didn’t want to play, he spent lots of time staying close. I can barely wait until New Year’s weekend when we will be going back, and this time no Memorial which made Mom sad. I could tell she was sad by the taste of salt on her cheeks. I tried my best to make sure Mom knew she was loved and to cheer her up! How could she not smile with such a silly pup playing in her lap and giving her kisses!
Time for me to do the thing I love most, next to eating, playing, and loving my Mom and Dad, and of course all my siblings, even the cat Miss Bentley – and that is – sleep!! My how I love to sleep, almost as much as I love waking up in the morning to my Mom snuggled next to me.
Blessings to All for another wonderful and amazing week.
Love to each of you.
From your Miss Shelby
