I’m having a great time and my human thinks I’m the perfect puppy. And I’ve got a name…it’s Millie.
Soon after I arrived I started to learn some commands. My human had a handful of tasty food called Ziwipeak..man are they yummy. She held one just above my nose, let me have a sniff and then moved it back towards my tail and at the same time said “sit”. I kept my eye on the treat and my head went back and my bottom went onto the ground. It was easy and then I got to eat the treat and a pat and was told I was a “good girl”. We do this a number of times through the day and also just before I get my food to eat. The other time I’m asked to sit is when I say hi to my human or anyone else. My owner thinks it’s really important that I don’t jump up to say “hi”. It’s what we do in the dog world so it’s natural for me to do that, but I live with humans and they don’t really like that, so ..when in Rome…
The other think I learnt was to come when called. My human says “Millie ..come”..in a really exciting voice and I run over and get some more treats. Then she asks me to sit..and I do that..and more pats, more treats …more “good girls”
I’m growing fast and loving my new food. I get lots of interesting things to eat. This week I’ve had raw chicken wings, raw brisket bones, raw salmon head, chicken carcasses, heart, liver, eggs as well as my puppy mince and veges. My human sprinkles some other bits and pieces as well like spirillina, kelp, brewers yeast and some oils or seed mix. I love chewing on the bones or the big chunks of meat, just like I would if I was in the wild.
It’s great fun being a puppy….

You’re going to love reading about my busy week . Monday I was with my brother and sister at a place called the SPCA. It’s a temporary place we go if our mothers humans can’t / can’t be bothered or won’t find us new home. It’s ok there, we are fed and kept clean and have shelter and people play with us but I’d rather be in a real home..just like many of the animals there. The next day my new human came into the SPCA, chose me and took me home. I have the coolest home but more about that later.
First stop was to the food shop to get me some food. We bought some of the food I was already eating as it’s not good for me to have a sudden change of diet, and some of the food that I will be eating. It’s a yummy puppy mince with lamb, chicken, tripe and heart, something called Tukkathyme and also some chicken necks which I love to chew on and they keep my teeth clean.
Next stop was to say Hi to my vet quickly, and see how one of my brothers was doing, as he was staying there. He was a bit sick. I hadn’t shown and sign of illness but my human will keep a close eye on me.
Then home..and first job was a bath. My human washed me with a natural dog shampoo , which she assured me after the bath I would smell lovely. I rather preferred the way I smelt but I guess I need to follow her rules now…and I’ll probably get lots of cuddles if I smell like they want me too, so that’s got to be a good thing.
I was put out to do wees..my human spends a lot of time putting me out to do wees..when I do it outside she says “Good Girl” in a higher happy voice. Sometimes I go inside and if my human sees me she says “Ahh” in a growly voice and I’m put outside. I guess that’s not the thing to do. I get put out after I wake up, after I eat, when I haven’t been out for a while and when I start sniffing round inside. If my human isn’t around I am sometimes put in a crate. I get to do wees just before I am put in the crate and straight after coming out too. I don’t like to dirty in my crate so that helps with my training. I’ll get it sussed soon
My humans have an important job now…it’s to decide what I should be called. I wonder what my name will be?
