HI, my name is Chloe and I'm speaking out.
You can join me in my daily adventures.
Stranded at Grandma and Grandpa's
I have been left behind. Yes, my mom and dad sent me away to the old folk's home. They gave me the, "mommy loves you, we'll miss you and we'll come get you in a few short months" speech. I guess we'll have to see about that. For now, I'm stuck in this house with my cousin Raleigh. As long as she keeps to herself, I guess things will be okay. Sometimes she can be a little obnoxious and hog all the treats.
As you may have guessed, life isn't the same at the grandparents place. First, I have to stake out my own space and that's not easy. The day bed is too empty without mommy, so I gotta wait for grandma to go to bed. She has to lift me up into her "land of the giants" bunk. Then, I have to wait for Raleigh to figure out where she's going, so I can get as far away from her as possible. Listen, a dog can only take so much. But she usually stays on top of the covers, so I guess it's alright.
Then, no more free water in the tub. What does a dog have to do? Do they honestly think I don't know what a dog bowl is? Putting a bowl of water on the shower drain is not the same, people! Okay, I give up, I'll drink from my bowl and this thing Raleigh gets water from if I HAVE to... But I'm not drinking from that orange bowl at the studio. No way! A dog has her limits.
The last straw came today. Grandma won't let me get under the seat in the car. I have to sit on the floor and try to squeeze my head under. That's all I get, and then to add insult to injury, my collar gets hung up! She and I are gonna come to heads on this one, really.
Okay, so life sorta sucks, but there's some good stuff too, I guess. At least they remembered my treats. I gotta have my treats. Grandma's pretty good about getting me those, but Grandpa makes some good stuff that he shares too. He makes a pretty tasty thing called roasted peanut. Also, they let me eat on the "terrace". The weather has been pretty nice, so that's my favorite part. I wish they wouldn't freak out everytime I wander down to the side yard though. Gee, people, give me some space!
Grandma took me to this place she calls, "wanna go to da studio." But first we hung outside at Starbucks while she drank coffee and we watched people. This studio place is pretty cool. There's a real nice lady who gave me treats and let me cruise around her space. Also, there's some other people in their own spaces who keep trying to pet me. I liked going down to this really weird room at the bottom of some steps. It's like a crazy maze and people go by glass doors, so I can bark. Mostly, we hung out in Grandma's space. She's got some cool chairs and treats. We spent the whole day there, so I didn't get to nap like usual, but I liked it.
It's only been a few days, but it seems like forever. I've tried sitting on the porch and calling for you, but so far no answer. I wonder what mommy is doing. Daddy is probably being silly. I hope he doesn't find someone else to play with. I think they'll come get me soon, maybe? I don't know. I'm just gonna hang out with the old folks and hope the treats keep coming.

It is nice to have terrace seating for dinner.
Join me next time for my next big adventure...
