Anyway, it was a magazine all about investing. It seemed important, but I couldn't understand what it was about, so I asked Daddy when he came back from the kitchen. He said investing is saving your money (like kibble for people) for the future. I asked him if we're saving money for our future.

Daddy said of course we are. He said that reminded him that we needed to call the vet so I can get some more booster shots. After he found out about the shots, he said the vet recommended that we get pet insurance. Boy, things are so complicated for people.

Daddy says now he will pay fifty dollars a month to some people, and when we need to go to the vet, they'll help us to pay for the shots. Daddy's smart and he loves me very much.

I don't remember what the shots have to do with the article I was reading about investing, but I'm going to have a nap now anyway.

wHen my Puppy-DAddY wAs sMall

tHis is my pUppy-dADdY wHen he wAs sMall. My pApi DEsi gOt him a carrying case for WALkies that looks like what DaDDy says is a bowling bag. {DadDY said he Should type now 'cause I CAn't spELl too good yet.]

My puppy-daddy's name is Teo. My Daddy is Teo's favorite human except for my Papi Desi and my Paw Jay. When I first went back home to visit Teo-Daddy and my Mommy Tallulah, Teo-Daddy pulled me aside. He said he wanted to be sure I was doing okay in my new house. I told him I like my Daddy a whole lot. He said I could come back home if I ever felt like Daddy didn't take good care of me.

But my Daddy takes such good care of me. We go walkies all the time. He's teaching me where to pee and poo. We play together a lot and it's so much fun. Daddy gives me Kong Toys stuffed with liver treats and smeared with Macadamia Butter! That's so good. And every time I eat some lint or some paper, Daddy pulls it off my mouth and says I should only eat my puppy food. Daddy takes me to work with him and also to see his friends. He sings to me and is teaching me how to dance. I like the song "Tambourine" by Eve the best because Daddy says we shake our tambourines. I asked him if that's like waggies and he said yes.

Hello, everybody. My name is Oliver, but you can also call me Olly. I'm a chihuahua puppy who is ten weeks old. I love my daddy, my uncle Jerry, my first daddies Desi and Jay, liver treats, carrots with peanut butter, kong toys, the Indigo Girls, and drinking water from a shot glass on Daddy's lap. I also love my Auntie Leah and my uncles Nathan and Kris. I love my Papaw Terry and my Mema Colleen.

And liver treats.

Oh, and CHEEZBURGERS that squeak!
