Dear Diary,
the last couple of days have been awesome we went to our first little meeting at a dog training center called "Happy Go Lucky" we did not bring Ryder but we will next week. We got him a couple new toys that he cant put down!!!
It has been great!!! something funny is that when we play tug a war he lays down and tries to pull the rope with his paws too!!! It is really fun to watch. he has been getting along with other dogs so far. and for the cats... well they like to challenge each other which we are trying to NOT let happen.
nothing much else to say!

Hello,
Ryder has been doing awesome! here is a picture of his litter that was sent to me from previous owner!


we have been giving him lots of exercise and throw the balls many times outside. notice i said balls. we have a whiffel ball and a tennis ball and we hold one make him drop the other. then throw one and we have another to throw next time. yesterday my cousin who found the dog met him and she threw the ball under the trampoline and ryder was like WHAT???? but finally he got it by sliding under! It was so funny!!! now he tries to put the ball under and get it!!! anyway thats all for now!!! oh can you guess which one is ryder? i cant!!!

So today he has been doing great! we took him on a walk to Dairy Queen but didnt give him any ice cream. we gave him some water for the walk and i forgot to tell you but, We learned that ice cubes are good for dogs. well at least Ryder likes to eat them. we hold a cup of water out and it was the funniest thing! He knocked it down with his paw and then decided he was going to eat the ice cubes! He woke me up at like 6 this morning by jumping on my bed and licking my face :.)
When he got bored i took him outside to play a little. i learned if he cant find one of his chew toys he likes his foot for a substitute. So CUTE!!! Not much else to report! also thanks for all your comments!!!

So my mom is running camps and we cant bring a dog in. unfortunately, he stays in his cage for 8 hours. i feel bad but there is nothing we can do. after though we went to a park my mom worked on building. it was great. he also lost a tooth! we were thinking about putting it under his pillow/thing but then decided he would probably eat it. I felt so bad! his tounge was all red and i was like "Mom Ryder is bleeding." she of course didnt believe me. but then i showed her and she was like i found a tooth! I am giving him his special bunny toy lately, but when i am home he seems to like our rug better. wha wha wha whhhhaaaaa. Okay but anyway he has been doing great. actually he has been running high today but other wise great. i think i need to spend more quality time with him though becuase he is very attached to my mom. Also if you have any tricks on training a dog please let me know! we are trying to teach him not to jump.

Dear Diary (or the people who read this),
So today is the 3rd day we have had Ryder the diabetic dog. scratch that i mean puppy. he is 18weeks old and as cute as any puppy could be. first i will tell a little back story. So Ryder was the runt of the litter of 10!!!! a lot right? Well when he was sent to a new home a couple weeks later the people who took Ryder said they needed to put him down becuase he had diabetes :.(
Well the previous owners were not going to let that happen so they took him back and started posting stuff on the web. Soon enough my younger cousin sent me 3 links to 3 different dogs becuase she knows how much i want one. We found Ryder and new it was the perfect dog.
After a visit with the doctor and 3 visits or so with Ryder we got him. I actually was at camp when my parents got him. it was my coming back home present. (It was a overnighter) the other reason i knew he was perfect is because we both have diabetes, and he was born on my aunts birthday and was diagnosed on myn. What a cowinkidink.
So today has been great we went to the pet shop and bought dishes for his food and some toys and a bed. The bed is awesome becuase it is made out of 11.0 recycled bottles. (Well at least that is what it said on the tag.) I need to go to bed so ya.
