hi, i\'m new here on ds

Hello, my name is jiji and I am a 9 week old yorkshire terrier/silky terrier mix. My mum and dad just got me yesterday. They had to take a long four hour drive to get me. The ride home was a little scary but I was a good girl and slept most of the way. This was quite a tramatic event I my young life being away from my mother and brother for the first time. But it was not nearly as traumatic as meeting the new members of my family, not the human ones the dogs of the household. Spike the minature schnauzer was fine, he sniffed me a few times and everything was cool. But... then came this wild bundle of fur, his name is moe and he is a thiz shu. He growled and barked at me and even tried to bite me. He was really quite rude and very, very scary. I only weigh 2 pounds and he weighs 16 pounds. You’d think he would pick on someone his own size. I guess he is the alpha male, I think that means he is the boss of all the animals in the house. He scared me so... bad a peed on my new mommy. But she was understanding and she tried to keep the nasty beastie away from me. Anyway, they gave me some food and water and put me in this thing called a crate, I guess it’s my sleeping den. I was okay with this cause the big, mean dog couldn’t get me!! I got to sleep a little in the big bed with mommy for about and hour though before my bedtime. The next day I cried to get out when dad came downstairs. He put me outside and I did not like this much, br... really cold. Not sure why I was out there, he kept saying weird stuff, like have a pee??? I’m confused, they also have these paper pad things in the house that they say this pee thing about. And everytime I wake up they put me on it. I guess I’ll figure it out. Today was a better day with the mean dog. He did not bark or growl at me very much and he didn’t try to bite me. That’s a nice change!! I think if I let him think he’s boss everything will be okay. Mum and dad are spoiling me. I love to be held and mum let’s me sleep on her lap while she works on something called a puter. Don’t know what it is she just keeps hitting this thing with her fingers. She laughed when I put my paw on something called a spacebar and a bunch of her stuff disappeared but she got it back. Anyway, I think it’s almost time for snuggles and bedtime. Mom says to say she will right her journal tomorrow after she and a friend go to moncton for breakfast. So bow wow for now. Your new friend, jiji
