Meet and Greet

Jammer:  Mom and Dad took Murray and me to something called a "Meet and Greet" today at a big, bright place they call "PetSmart."  (How weird is that?  It's a good thing I'm smart, I guess!) All kinds of people were coming up to me and petting me.  I wanted to leave as soon as I got there.  I'm not used to that many people being nice to me, but it turned out to be OK after all.  Mom says I did very well.  She seemed really proud of me, telling everyone that I was a Good Boy and hadn't had any "Accidents" for several days now.  Anyway, PetSmart was kind of tiring for me, so I think now I'm going to crash for a while.  (Check out the picture Mom took of me crashing.)   See you later!

    Murray:  Even I have to admit that Jammer is pretty hilarious.  For some reason, he doesn't want to come upstairs to sleep with the rest of us, so he stays in his crate at night.  This morning, Daddy came downstairs and found a bunch of my Mom's, Dad's and Sister's shoes in Jammer's crate.  I guess he must not know the difference between shoes and a toy!  (Jammer, I mean, not Daddy.)  Mom says maybe Jammer likes the way they smell because he took them but didn't chew any of them up.  She was laughing.  I have a feeling it would have been a different story if he had actually eaten her shoes.

And wow, this boy does like to eat!  You'd think he'd never been fed before in his entire life or wouldn't ever be again.   Well... now that I think about it, I guess I kind of felt that way when I first got here myself.   He also gobbles his food down ridiculously fast.  Mom says I used to do that too and that he'll calm down when he realizes we aren't going to take his food away.  In the meantime, I hope he doesn't choke,   I'd hate to have to do the Heimlich maneuver on him.
