Pearl's 1st birthday

First I want to thank everyone who sent me a happy birthday message. They were awesome. Mom and Dad had to go to work, so my day started out pretty ho- hum. Mom let us outdoors in the morning to potty and walk around the back yard for a bit. It was raining mixed with snow so she didn't let us stay there too long. She and Dad left , but Josh and Joe were here. They were pretty tired and where sleeping in. Well I got bored with my old toys and was a bad girl. I chewed a big hole in the bottom corner of Dad's leather recliner.  When the boys woke up they saw what I had done and took us out to potty again, then I had to stay indoors in my kennel for a while. They told me Dad would be upset with me. I didn't know that Mom had went to petsmart on her lunch hour and bought us some goodies for my big day. Well when the parents both got home they were sad, Mom put all of our new stuff up and wouldn't let us have it until Christmas. We went outside again for a short walk then Mom made me stay right where her and Dad could keep a close eye on me. Mom's going to pay Josh to walk me more  during the day and if the weathers bad she's going to teach me to walk with them on their treadmill. Mom says I have to get more exercise so I won't get into such mischief again. I may have to go to a doggie daycare if I do anything like that again. Mom's not sure if there's even one close to us, also she's worried that it's pretty expensive too.  I hope Santa is rather forgiving.
