Escape Tunnel

Well, the owners caught me trying to dig an escape tunnel out of the bottom of my crate.
Rough past few days. First, on Sunday one of them went to a parents-teacher meeting for something called puppy obediance classes. I had assumed they would start obeying my wishes in a more responsive manner - well, I've got a sore butt from this whole new "sit" routine they have me doing for treats! They're also trying to get me to acknowledge when they call me.

If that wasn't bad enough, they took me to that nice vet again yesterday. I got stuck with some needle - AGAIN! Then I got something for mortadella sprayed up my nose - I don't get the connection between Italian deli meats and coughing. The owners said I'm getting to be a big girl - I now weigh 8 lbs and 6 ounces. What does buddha belly mean?
