3 Humans & Me

I'm pepper. I'm currently 15 weeks old. They keep saying I'm brindle. I think that means cute

I've been with my minions 3 weeks. They're ok. They feed me, cuddle me, and the smallest one loves to play. They're a little bit tight with their scraps though. And they don't like me climbing on the thing they eat at. They tell me it's not "polite" whatever that means.

So far their behaving. Although I have to keep reminding them that they shouldn't be so greedy with the sofa. I might be small but I insist on at least 3 cushions on the corner unit, I keep hinting that they should probably just sit on the floor, but that lady human loves to snuggle. She keeps telling that man human "Awww look at pepper, isn't she just the most beautiful puppy ever, look she loves me look at her trying to get on my lap" I don't have the woof to tell her she's just in my way.

I think a couple more weeks and I'll have them well trained.

Ha ha Pepper, you've got them Sussed already. It's Staffy law that you must take over all Human space whether that be the Sofa or Bed

Looking forward to reading your Diary

Aw pepper

Gizmo here, I am One. I strongly advise pretending to be asleep when they try to move you. How could anyone move a sleeping puppy?

Aw Pepper-it sounds like you are training those humans well

Hi gizmo! I've perfectly nailed the drop and flop sleep position. Works every time. Mostly if I snuggle up to woman human I'm good. She has a soft spot for me.

Today though she was playing a really silly game with me. She got the fish treats that I love so much. And she put them on the floor and told me to stay. Then when she said "go on then" i was allowed to get it. The only concern I have is that when she takes ages to say ok I get bored and try to take it anyway then we have to start all over again. I'm not impressed, I must remember to reassert my authority.

She said I can go out in a couple of days. I don't know what that means. ive only ever been "out" to a place where they poke me with really sharp things, and if that's what she means, fooooorget it. I'll just stay on my area of the sofa.

Also, she wouldn't let me on the sofa the other day, she was cleaning up crumbs from some birthday cake the little human dropped and you'll never guess what. I found out I can use sounds to tell her off. She talks to me like I'm a human. I can't decide if I like it or if it's a little bit weird. Either way she says I souldnt answer back. She should take her own advice. I was only telling her I could clean the crumbs up quicker than her, and I proved it today when the little one dropped chicken

So I've decided the best thing to do is follow the little one. I'm sure woman human will come to appreciate my dyson skills really soon

.... Brilliant. You'll soon become an expert crumb cruncher Pepper

Sounds like you are training them really well, but tell your mummy staffie dysons are soooo much better than the shop bought ones

I think she's started to get it. She doesn't Rush to pick up crumbs so much, I think she's just nervous that I might give myself tummy ache.

So today I've been boundary pushing I've unravelled the hose pipe 7 times on a phenomenal scale. I kept pulling and pulling and it got bigger and bigger and bigger and then she kept rolling it up and I kept pulling it out over and over and over again, such fun!!! Although I can't seem to find the hose now. Hmmmm.

I also nicked 4 chocolate digestives off the side, they weren't even open,I opened them myself. I really enjoyed them but mummy was not happy. She phoned the vet and he said I should be ok but I'm probably gonna have the runs and possibly some sick. Mummy is keeping a very close eye on me.

I also ripped all the puppy pads up and had a game of stack the pieces and fly into them. Then I went in the garden to bury the pieces in my hole I've been working on. You should see it!! I can hide in there now and mummy can't find me

The little human called me her best friend today, and then I stole her crackers, then I had a sleep. I want to sleep on that little humans bed, but mummy says no. All good things come to those who wait I guess?

aww god the shenanigans of a puppy

What a day!! I went for my first walk out today and golly was it fun!! Everything was so new and shiny. I was so good. Mummy even let me off the lead to chase the little human in a game of fetch the little human. The little human did a great job getting me back to mummy, I was so excited by the trees and the flowers and the big buzzy bee that I wanted!! Mummy took some photos. Check out the avatar, aren't I adorable? That's my mini human, we have love for each other.

Daddy has been at work since 12 he won't get home till 11 so I haven't really seen him. He might be lucky enough to get to stroke me when he gets in. Depends how deep a sleep I'm in. Mummy was introduced to sleeping headbutt last night. She said the word "Jesus".

I think I was forgiven after this though. I'm getting really good!!

Gorgeous!

She is absolutely adorable. Loving this diary

I'm loving this diary. Such a clever puppy

Hi guys! Sorry it's been a while I've been busy growing! I think I'm huge, the vet said I'm diddy. She's never seen me stretch

I want to take some time to introduce you to my doggy family. I want to tell you about my brother, who lives with my humans dad. But first, my doggy parents



This is my mummy & daddy. I lived with them until I was 12 weeks old. Before the humans I have now I had other humans. They kept me locked in a cage for 3 days whilst other dogs would attack me through the cage, it made me scared and nervous around other dogs, the lady who owns my doggy mum and dad found out and she came and took me away, back to my doggy parents.

Here we are, chilling


I was more of a daddies girl though


Before I got to leave with my humans they had to come and see me a few times, the lady who has mummy and daddy did a visit to my humans house and so the deal was done. And I'm doing really well, my mummy and daddy have taken a lot of time to introduce me to all different kinds and sizes of dogs and for the first time ever, when I was on my walkies (off the lead because I'm cool like that) I was approached by a dog that looked like a rug (labradoodle) and I didnt run away! (At this point I would like to say mummy & daddy only let me off the lead if there's no other dogs around, this mobile carpet came from no where!) and not only did I not run away we played a game of chase and I was perfectly polite. They chased, and then I chased and then we sat down and got our breath back, SUCH FUN!!!!!

Mummy & daddy quite often take me on walks with my brother harley (who is bigger than me and dopier than me) and now we play too! We play quite rough, and I like it. Mummy and daddy know that even though I played a couple of times it doesn't mean I'm ok for every dog but mummy was so proud of me she told me to share this story with you all, and I want to show you how big my brother is, just because well he's cute (but not as cute as me!!)




I especially like this one, haha he thinks he's a flower


And here we both are the other day


And here's some more recent pictures of me, because I'm also cute.










So that's a little update, I'll post my goings on in a separate post. It'll make for easier reading

So, since I last informed you all of my goings on I've been creating more mischief.

Mummy says I'm a clever girl, I've even heard her tell daddy that I'm quiet intelligent, mummy likes to train and daddy likes to play with me. On Friday me and daddy were playing and I got so excited! I was running in and out the garden. Up the sofas down the sofas, running from room to room it was great! Then I went to run into the living room from the kitchen, and missed the door hole, thus crashing into the door frame. I gave myself a nose bleed. I don't understand how someone as intelligent as me can be so silly!! Luckily I was seeing the vet that day for my 2nd lepto shot and she looked me over but wow! What a dope.

On the same day I threw up in mummy's new car, and not even on my blanket, I missed that too. Then when we got to the vet I weed all over the floor. The receptionist said I was getting big, I weigh 8.25kg. The vet said I'm going to be short and stocky. She'll do well to remember I am slim, I don't appreciate being poked with needles and then called fat. That is not the way to my heart. It's a good job she had feed for me. See even the vet knows her place

A lady at the vet who was waiting with a cat told my mummy she should be careful with me, given my breed. She used the word vicious. Mummy was very calm and said "oh no the only thing a Staffie will attack you with is kisses" and as if rehearsed I jumped up and kissed mummy like I'd never kissed her before!! I bet she wishes she'd never taught me that command

Mummy was also shocked to find the clear part of a pepperarmi wrapper in my poo. She didn't even see me in the bin . The bin has been moved.

In other news I have confiscated the small humans trampoline. That is to say it is now a sleeping spot for when the sun is out. It doesn't matter if she's on it or not. I will remain in place, at least until it rains. Then and only then can she have it!

The sun is out today so I'm probably gonna be outside for most of the day, I'm probably gonna tackle some more digging. I'm not sure if I'm going mad or not but I swear my hole isn't as big as it was.

So mummy & daddy spend all day playing with the small humans birthdays toys,mostly kerplunk. I have been ignored, and every time the small human pulled a stick out mum and dad made a noise of appreciation and admiration.

I take, not a stick but a mouthful of marbles. Got put in timeout. The balance of love feels a bit off here

Aww pepper, sounds like mummy n daddies humans really cared for you. What a refreshing change to hear that they checked out your new Human home first

From the pictures it looks like you're loved very much by the mini human, I think you're gonna be bestest buddies and what a fab older brother you have, even if he does like sitting in flower tubs

Loving this diary.

Today they went out without me.

I knocked over the dinning table chair trying to get on the table, didn't make the table but chewed the chair. Right at the top. Left a few puncture holes on full view for everyone to see, also removed the bottom of the chair. That'll teach them.

Climbed on the table today, I want the fish. Managed to climb on top of my crate. Got stuck. Crate has been moved away from the fish tank.

Emptied the washing machine whilst humans did the school run.

Didn't sleep last night, was soooo not tired. So I chewed the dustpan instead. And the doorframe I ran into the other day, very nice for gums.

Got a new collar today. Other one too tight. This one is baby pink, it's definitely my colour

brilliant.

Wonder how the crate got moved

This week I did 2 nights with no wees and no poopies. I am wonder dog!!

Daddy cut the grass today, and I was helping to pick up the piles. By bringing them in to my bed, mummy not happy but my bed is all squishy

Tiny human is not at school this week, I do not know why, but I like to have her home where I can keep an eye on her, I follow her all over the place, mummy said "Pepper, it's nice that you love her but she doesn't need an audience when she goes toilet" and she shut the door, so I cried and scratched the door until small human reappeard.

I spend so much time in the garden, mummy is always bringing me in so I "don't get sunburn".

I am also working on a new hole,this one I am digging right under fence, I want to investigate neighbours garden, he has cats!!!

Uh oh... Watch out cats

Man human has been demoted from daddy to man human. He give me cheese when making hot sandwhich and does not share hot cheese sandwhich. I sat in the kitchen by the hot cheese sandwhich maker the whole time they were cooking. I sat nicely. I even give paw without being asked, and the other one. Mummy laughed. Not a laughing matter. Cheese is serious business!!

I make big mess in living room today. Mummy left a bottle of drink in the living room and went for a bath. I got bored so played with said bottle of drink. It was coke. Still have puppy teeth, coke EVERYWHERE. mummy thought I weed everywhere.. Haha I tricked her.

I have to go to the vets on Wednesday for my advocate. Must wee before I go this time. And not be sick in new car. No dinner before we go. I don't like to be sick. It makes me cry. I hope I don't nip the vet. I'm very good at not nipping but I sometimes forget myself when I get excited. And I do. At everything!!

Oh cheese... A Staffy favourite bit harsh of the human not to share, after all it's good for you.

You'll get used to the vets, it's not always a bad thing and Flo always gets a treat from her vet

I have been naughty puppy

I took all the stuffing out of one of the dining chairs and now it is what mummy calls "ruined". Mummy noticed I have 2 sets of teeth, will I stop chewing when my big ones come through? Mummy banned me from sofa this night, so I spent all night whining at her, and then I creep on to sofa when she's not looking, and then she sees me and puts me down again. I eventually gave up but not before pacing around the room 374843 times just incase she changed her mind. She didn't.

But I still continue to chew everything. Mummy gives me frozen nana kong, chew toys, ice cubes but I still prefer everything I'm not supposed to have thus I have been a naughty puppy.

Aww Pepper you're still learning and these things are fun

Bit mean of mummy not to let you in the sofa, after all, you only want to share those Staffy cuddles

Aww Pepper still a baby finding your feet

Oh god I just got plonked in a big bowl of water.

I am now ignoring all involved
