The Vick Dogs Hava A Blog!

Juli and I found the Vick Dogs blog today! We saw Jonny Justice on TV on Friday which was really cool. Then today we found that he and 4 of the other Vick dogs share a blog. That's even cooler!

I didn't have it as bad as they did, but like them I belonged to people who didn't take good care of me (they said they got rid of me because I chew up stuffed animals when I'm bored, but I think they didn't like that I'd rather die than fight), I was at the shelter (but only for one day thanks to Juli and Pico), and now I live with a really nice family that understands dogs. Like them, since I left the shelter I've been learning about all sorts of new stuff I didn't know about. I surprised Juli today by knowing a new word "walk." I didn't know what a walk was when I came to live here. I'm still not sure why they call it a "walk" when really, Pico and I do much more sniffing. It's not really a walk, it's a chance to sniff pee mail. I love pee mail! I didn't get pee mail at my old house.

Yesterday, we started a new dog class with Juli and Pico's friend Amy. It's a clicker training class and this week I'm supposed to be learning that when the clicker clicks, something good is going to happen. Juli has been trying to show me this for a while, but Amy had some new ideas. The problem is, I'm still amazed that good things happen at all! My new people are almost always nice to me. The meanest thing they do is take away things that might be bad for me like the sticks I'm trying to eat and give me something safe like my kong or make me go in my kennel with my bed and toys. But, I'm still worried that they'll hit me or something. Even though Pico told me that they don't believe in it.
