PIT BULL: A DOG: A PITBULL PUPPY'S PORTRAIT

If you haven't read about me before, I am Meydel. That's yiddush for little girl. I'm Boychik's baby sister. Boychik is yiddish for little boy. He's not so little though. He weighs about 90 pounds. He's been around for almost a year. You can read about some of his exploits in the other blogs.

This week I have been in my forever home for three months. We are still going through lots of "Situations".

The biggest one, I seem to have come to my new home with separation anxiety. If they walk out of the room and come back in I have to greet them as if they have been gone for days. I jump on them and snibble on them. I don't have a soft mouth so the snibbling hurts sometimes.

They have to hold my collar and distract me to get me to calm down. Then I let them pet me and love me. They say to each other, "When we google, how to break this habit, there has been no answer for us."

I have learned how to tell Mommy I have to go, but I don't tell her till after I have gone. I run up to her and bark, she looks at me and says, "Oh no, again. You were just out 10 minutes ago." Then we clean up the mess. I am good about going when she lets me out, but I leave it up to her to decide it is time to go. When they let me out I go potty when they ask me to, even if I have just gone . I know what to do and when to do it but when I am playing I just go where I am at.

I can hold it through the night, so that is not my problem. Mommy has a secret. She picks up the water bowl at 9:00 PM and doesn't put it down till I've been potty the next morning.

I do have a couple of pluses. I am a superb watch dog. I sound the alarm even when it's a B & E on a television program. When I watch TV, I think it is something happening in another room.

Today when Dad was viewing the pictures he took of me on his 32" X 18" monitor I looked up, saw myself, and started barking at the Doggy in the window.

Another plus I have, is I am a tattle-tale. When Boychik is doing something he shouldn't I have a shrill bark that brings Mommy running. I use that same bark to tell her when he takes my toys and won't let me play with them.

I love to cuddle and they love to cuddle me. It's when I get rambunctious they get perturbed. I can't just sit on the couch and be petted. I want to rough-house. I want them to let me bite them like I do Boych. Boych lets me pull him by his jowls and never complains.

They were spoiled by Boych. When he relaxes he crashes. He's out like a light in seconds. We've seen him fall asleep with his head up and it drops like a boulder to the floor with a loud heavy thunk.

I'm through the teething stage (I think). They didn't appreciate when I showed them I liked to chew. I tried the corners of the coffee table when they weren't around. They were good but not as good as the newel on the arm of the sofa. After I got reprimanded for those things and decided I better stick to the logs they give me. I've only chewed one tennis shoe, one slipper, one dress shoe, and one everyday shoe. All but one were put up where I supposedly couldn't get them. I decided it wasn't worth getting in trouble for, so I have stopped doing it. They still don't trust me with the shoes.

One of my favorite things they give me to chew is a black walnut. I don't have it long though. Boych chews his up lickity split and then comes to steal mine. I yell for Mommy and she retrieves it and the minute she turns her back he takes it again.

Today it snowed. There is enough snow I can play snow plow with my nose. I really have fun biting at the chunks of snow which pop up. I am really a tomboy at heart. I'll be a little lady soon enough.
