Letters from Jake (A Foster Dog): Another Busy Week!

Besides being absolutely adorable this week, I really did a lot.

Monday, Sally and I went out and played in the yard and we found something that smelled really really good to play in! We both rolled and rolled and ran and played and had a good time! When Momma P came home though she said we smelled bad. That's when I discovered what "bath" means! Daddy S had to pick me up and put me in the tub. I was a good boy and didn't try to escape though. When it was done, Momma P dried me off with a big, soft towel. Then I ran and ran around the couch and down the hall. It felt good to be clean. Afterwards, Momma P gave me a new collar because I have outgrown mine and it was a little raggedy. It's pretty and blue and I look really handsome in it.

The next day, Momma P came home and we went for a car ride. I went to the vet. That's a place where nice people pet you and ladies make you step up on this really strange thing called a scale. Then a man came in the room and petted me and talked to me. He called me a big, pretty boy and rubbed my ears. Then he gave me a shot. It pinched a little, but I licked him to let him know it was okay. I didn't like it when he put some stuff up my nose though, it made me sneeze!

After we got home, Momma P gave me a big bowl of food with some yogurt in it and I laid down on the couch with Sally. I licked her ears to let her know I missed her. She didn't do anything, but I think she missed me, too. Momma P gave us both new rawhides, too!
