The beginning

I wanted to start this blog earlier but things are crazy transitioning. My name is Silky, I am a golden retriever. I was born to my mommy Pebbles and my daddy Amador. I was born 9/5/2012, at least that is what my paperwork says! I obviously don't remember that!

So my life so far has been pretty interesting. At around 9 weeks old I was taken away from my other siblings and tossed in a crate with another puppy. That puppy was really fun to play with! Then we were put on this really big scary thing. It made really loud noises. Then some strange people took us off and brought us in this big empty room. Next thing I know there are about 5-6 people "ooh" and "aahing" at me and my travel partner. Then a really nice lady takes me out of the crate and loves and smooshes on me! Oh my I was so excited. I just cuddled right in. Then that nice lady puts me in a big thing with wheels on it and moves. They call it a car. Oh I was not fond of that at first. I was so nervous, I made a big mess of drool all over the floor of the car. The nice lady took me to a place she called "home". I like "home". There are 2 little people there. They are fun and so sweet. The little girl loves to cuddle and the little boy moves so fast! There is also another big person. I began to think the nice lady was my new mommy and the other big person is my new daddy and the little people are my brother and sister! Oh this was about to begin an exciting adventure!

Mommy can't take me to work yet. She tells me I have to get all my shots. She says she works at a vet where lots of sick puppies go and if I don't have all my shots I might get sick too. I am so thankful she is so kind to not let me get sick! But I have to stay in my crate most of the day. She comes home and takes me out and feeds me lunch so I forgive her ;) She gets so excited with me because I don't tinkle in my crate. I am such a good girl!!

I really dislike my leash that is stuck to the wall. Who thought of that anyways? I keep trying to pull it out but I just keep bouncing back. So mommy is trying to teach me to just relax over there. Its just really not as fun as running around the house!

There is also another dog here. He is old. He doesn't like to play much and mommy keeps telling me I can't nibble on him. I don't understand why not, that's how I used to play with the other puppies where I was born. Oh well, I am starting to get the hang of it, but I keep trying to sneak in a nibble here and there! I try to steal his toys too but mommy says that is not good either!

So this will be where I track my journey with my new mommy and family. I will tell you everything I get to do and what fun I have. I will tell you about my adventures and silly times. My mommy is going to take pictures of me too. I will share those.

Love Silky
