Wow what a month August was!
I found my forever home; I’m absolutely sure of it. I’m been on my bestest behavior. I’ve only gotten into trouble a few times. Once or twice for peeing on the floor and another for… I don’t remember maybe getting into the toilet paper or something like that. As if that’s a big deal…
Actually, you know how I know it’s my forever home? My new Mom and Dad took me on a trip to Wisconsin where I crossed over this huge bridge, swam in Lake Ontario (that water was COLD) and saw the Upper Peninsula. When we got to our vacation destination, I met up with Lexi a golden retriever and Mason a Rhodesian ridgeback. My first night there we all got along fine and then Mason for whatever reason copped an attitude and wouldn’t play with me anymore. Lexi wasn’t too playful because she just got over being really sick. No bother, there were other pups in the area to play with.
On this trip, we took a couple of boat rides. I don’t mind saying I was really really nervous being around water and all. I’m not sure I know how to swim! On one of these boat rides, everyone left the boat except for us pups. We had to stay back and guard the boat or something. I don’t know, but I wasn’t having it. I yelped as long and as loud as I could so that they would know I was unhappy being on the boat with just Lexi and Mason. After a bit, they came out to see what the noise was about and then we left. For a little guy, I’m learning the right buttons to push to get what I want… But don’t tell my Mom. Surely she would change the game plan if she knew…
Anyway, I’m back in the Cleveland area again and spending time at Camp Bow Wow. I’ve met so many friends there. I have a few favorites, but we keep getting new pups all the time. It’s hard to keep track of all their names. I spent a lot of time there this Labor Day because my Mom had to work. Again new pups to play with… Every day it’s someone new! I’ll try to get some pictures together so that you can see what I’m talking about.

Monday, August 10, 2009
Today, I go to the vet for my first official checkup where I will get a “Micro Chip”. I asked my Mom what a Micro Chip was. The following is what she read to me:
A microchip ID is a very, very small chip (about the size of grain of rice). It is encoded with an identification number. This identification number is entered into a data bank - national or local depending on the brand - and lists the pet's name, owner's name, address, and phone number. There is no cost to you for the upkeep of your address and phone number if you move or to change the information completely if you give your dog away.
Three companies that produce these microchip IDs are HomeAgain Pet Recovery Service, 24PetWatch and AVID Microchip I.D. Each sponsors their own national data base for pet information. Scanners to get the identification code from the microchip are owned by a variety of pet resources from veterinary clinics to animal shelters. Scanners manufactured to read the code from the microchips made by one company will detect the presence of another company's microchip but will not be able to read the information.
How does the microchip get inside the dog?
Much like a shot, the microchip is injected between the shoulder blades, just under the skin. It will be viable for your dog's entire life and will never need tune up or replacing. The microchip can be scanned by a handheld electronic scanner.
Will a microchip ID hurt my dog?
Well, no one likes to get a shot. But if comfort is the concern, which is worse: a quick shot or adjusting to life in a cell - or with a new family - when her owner is a mystery.The scanner causes no pain to the animal.
What are the benefits of a microchip ID?
If your dog is ever lost and picked up by the SPCA, the Humane Society, or animal rescue, she will be checked for a microchip. Your address and phone number will be there in the data bank, you will be contacted immediately, and your pet will be returned to you.
What are the drawbacks of a microchip ID?
None, really. But it's important for pet owners to understand that this is far from a tracking device hooked up to a satellite in the sky. It won't help you find your pet should she get lost or runaway from home. But it will help your pet find you if she is picked up by a shelter or animal rescue service.
And you do need to make sure that your contact information is not only registered in the data base at the clinic or shelter who puts in the microchip but also with the company who created. You must also make sure that this information is corrected if it changes. An old address and phone number won't help your pet find its way home to you.
Can a cat benefit from a microchip ID?
Absolutely. Cats are much less amenable to wearing a collar than are dogs and will love the freedom of going without one. With a microchip, your cat will find its way home to you without a bothersome collar.
How do I get a microchip ID for my pet? Is it expensive?
Veterinarians can provide this service, as can most animal shelters. Animal shelters will provide the service for much less than a vet. If you opt to have a microchip inserted in your pet when you adopt it, the fee is only a few dollars in most cases. Data base upkeep should you move or give your pet away is free for the life of the animal.
The process is called 'microchipping' and it may cost anywhere from $5 at an animal shelter up to $50 at a private veterinary clinic.
After hearing all that, I guess it’s a good idea. After all, I’m only 9 month old and I could get lost. With the chip, I guess if I do get lost they can look up where I live and take me back to my home. I just hope it doesn’t hurt!

Catching up:
This past week flew by so quickly! I spent three half days at Camp Bow Wow and one full day. I met many more friends at camp and had so much fun. I still haven’t gone in the pup pools. It looks like fun, but I not sure I like being all wet. Someday I’ll try it, but not this time.
I played a lot with a girl named Gidget another one named Lucy and a boy named Remy. We played chase most of the time. We would run from the inside of the play yard to the outside play yard, circle around the play equipment or go through the tunnels and then run back inside as quick as we could. We would catch our breath and do it all over again. The other pups looked at us like we were crazy, some would cheer us on while other were busy doing their own thing.
After each day, I came home so tired. And each time I came home, KeKe was there to greet me. KeKe too wanted to play. So we played some, took a walk and went to bed. When I got up the mornings after camp I was still tired and mostly napped, played some with Ke Ke. (not too much, I need to be fresh for my days at camp)

A Trip to Camp:
Monday was my first official day at Camp Bow Wow. While I had visited last week, I wasn’t able to go in the play yards because of my surgery.
When I arrived at camp, most of the pups are in their cabin for lunch and/or a nap. Max however was in the play yard by himself so went in and met Max for the first time. Max is a poodle mix, a little bit smaller than me, but really nice. We romped a bit and played until the other pups came into the play yard too. At first it was easy to remember their names; there was Bensen & Mulligan, Gidget, Ms. Dazie, Nyla, Aussie & Chico and then out of the blue came Barry. He came into the play yard and everyone rushed over to meet him and I forgot where I was with the names. No worries, they were all nice and I know I’ll meet everyone again. We all played and took turns playing with each other.
After a while, some of the campers who were staying overnight went back to their cabins for dinner. My Mom packed my dinner too so I got to go in a cabin too; I was hungry. After dinner I realized that I was tired but I didn’t want to fall asleep because I still wanted to play. I noticed that some of the campers were going home. I began to worry whether I was going home too. Soon, however, I went back into the play yard and played with Gidget. She’s a blast and her play style is just like mine. Next thing I know it was time for the overnighters to go to bed. As they were being led into their cabins, I realized just how tired I was. Soon me and Gram were on our way home too.
When we got home, my Mom was waiting for me in the driveway. I think she missed me. Mom had a big test that she needed to study for today, that’s why she let me go to camp without her. While I missed my Mom, I had a good time.
Then I saw Keke and she too was glad I was back home. We played for a bit, took a short walk and went to bed.
Wednesday:
Today, Mom and I slept in. We were both really tired. She doesn’t know it, but I slept on her pillow last night. My mom smells nice and I try to get as close to her as I can when she’s not looking.
In the morning, my Mom had to go to school to take her test. I hope she gets a good grade. She is going to school to be a nurse. I played with Keke most of the morning. Later my Mom and Dad are taking me to the “park”.
I didn’t know what a park was, but now I do. Wow there is so much to see and do and plenty of grass to play in and so many people and other pups like me. Mom and Dad took me down by the water; I watched the water for a bit and then we went for a walk. The park was nice and I hope we can go back some day.
After the park we went to the store and my Mom bought me a “Harness”. It matches my collar and leash. My Mom put it on me; I don’t know if I like it. It feels weird. Later we went to my Dad’s Mother and Father’s house. They have a fenced in back yard. I could really have some fun over here. Dad’s mother and father were really nice.
We went back home for dinner. I fell asleep early; I guess because I was still tired from my day at Camp. Mom said we were going back to camp on Thursday. I can’t wait!

Weekend Recap
Friday:
I woke up in my new home in my new bed. What a wonderful feeling…
Today, I went to Camp with my Mom. She is a Camp Counselor/Scout at Camp Bow Wow. I have to say that when we walked in the door, I was very nervous. All those sniffs came to me all at once. I thought that I was going back to the shelter so I tugged on my leash, but my Mom told me that it was OK and she led me through the doors. I walked in to a lot of yapping dogs. Most of them seemed very nice. Some said hello while others questioned who I was. I told them that I was here with me New Mom. While at camp, I mostly followed my Mom around while she was working. I spent some time in a “Cabin”. There, I slept on a fleece blanket which reminded me of home. My Mom said that I couldn’t go into the play yards because of my stitches. So I relaxed on my comfy cot with my fleece blanket and my new ball.
Before I knew it, we were on our way back home. At home, I played with KeKe for the rest of the night. I was glad when my Mom said it was bedtime. I was pooped.
Saturday:
My Mom and Dad went to a party. I stayed home with Gram, Papa, Jake & Keke. I thought that I was going to play all day with Keke, but my Gram had other plans. She said that she and I were going to the “Pet Palooza” at the South Euclid Dog Park. I didn’t know what that meant except for a ride in the car. I like car rides.
When we got to the Pet Palooza I couldn’t believe how many other dogs that were there. I met so many people. I played with a German Shepherd, a mini Dachshund a Golden Retriever and so many others. Some people asked if I was up for adoption. I was so glad when my Gram said “no, my daughter adopted him Thursday” and then she would introduce me as Bodie. I like my new name.
At the Pet Palooza there were some dog competitions. One was for the best costume. Some dude in a Hawaiian skirt came in 2nd or 3rd place. You’d never catch me wearing one of those. Then there was a contest for the best trick. Believe it or not some other dude won for eating treats. Anyone could do that; I should have entered.
After the event, we went home where I took a long walk and went to bed. I was very tired.
Sunday:
I woke up in my Mom’s bed! Wow is her bed nice and comfy. I could get use to sleeping here… we spent a quite day at home. That sounds so perfect doesn’t it? My Dad and Uncle Tom were there too. I think I like Sunday’s. My Mom told me that Sunday’s is “Family Day” at our house and that is OK with me.

I am so lucky, you have no idea…
Yesterday, when I woke up I wasn’t in my usual cage. (I’ve been caged since 06/26/09. When they brought me in, my leg was hurting. The vet tech person fixed me up and it doesn’t hurt anymore.) I was a little sleepy and kind of sore. Anyway, when I woke up from one of my many naps that day, one of the guys at the shelter came and got me. I was thinking “What now, isn’t being neutered bad enough!” I pulled and pulled on my leash to try to get away, but he was too strong.
As he was pulling me, I looked up and standing there right in front of me was one of the nice ladies and man from a couple of days ago. She bent down and scratched my ears and hugged me. Boy does she smell nice; a guy could get use to these hugs. The man looked at me and just smiled. So I sat down in front of him and wiggled my tail for him until he scratched my ear. He seems real nice; I think he likes me too.
While we were standing there, I heard words like adoption, new home and new Mom & Dad. I’m not sure what that all means, but if it means that I can be with this lady and man, I’m all for it. Wait a minute; these two people are my NEW Mom and Dad! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!
As start towards the door I yelled, “Please say you’re taking me outside”. They did, they took me outside! I was so happy we were going outside I started jumping and doing the traditional doggie dance one does when they are excited. Instead of going to the grass, they headed for a car. As they opened their car door and let me jump in, I yelled “Who cares about the grass, Yippee, I get to go for a car ride!”
Away we went. I wasn’t too sure what I was supposed to do in the car so I looked around and was enjoying the sights when all of a sudden it hit me; I’ve got to pee. “Oh, no what do I do now”. “Hold it, hold it”, I kept telling myself. Just when I thought I couldn’t hold it any longer, the car stopped, “Let me out” I shouted, “I’ve got to pee now!” And I did and thankfully, in the grass.
I was led into a new house, somewhere I’ve never been before. Could this be the new home they were talking about, not too bad if it is, I thought? Wait a minute, where is all that rude talking coming from. I’m not too sure about this. Remember I told you about a new brother and sister? Well there they were standing right in front of me and talking to me rather rudely. One of them is called “Keke” and the other is called “Jake”. I also saw the other man from the other day. I heard them call him Grandpa. Grandpa bent down and patted my head and scratched my ear. Everyone loves to scratch me ears and thats OK with me because I love it! Jake just stands there and yaps at me. Keke came over and we sniffed; she smells good. I let her know that I wanted to play with her and that’s what we did for most of the day. We played.
Later, my NEW MOM took me outside again in the grass. I showed her that I could pee on trees, plants, grass. “I can pee on anything” I say. I don’t think she liked it when I peed in the house though. I’m going to have to figure out how to show my Mom when I have to pee.
While we were outside, I met my new neighbors; Scott, Jennifer, Payton and Hudson. They seemed excited to see me, especially the girl Payton. She lay in the grass with me and we played. I like her. I like Hudson too. I saw him playing with his toys and a ball; I love toys and balls too! I think it’s going to be fun following them around.
I met my other neighbors too; Mike, Barb, Rocko and Bambi. Rocko and Bambi are just like me. We talked and sniffed each other. They seem nice too. I have so many new friends.
After a while we went back into the house. A new man came in the door, someone I’ve never met before. Jake and Keke are so excited to see him. He must be someone special. Ah, I see why. He rubs them all over and scratches their ears, neck, back… all over. “Me Too” I yell. My Mom said he was my Uncle Tom and he starts scratching me all over, just like Jake and Keke. I lie down and take a snooze.
I wake up to hear that me new Dad is leaving. “No, don’t go. I just got here”, he hugs me and says he’ll be back. Then my uncle get’s up and says that he’s leaving too. “Is everyone leaving” I think. After they leave, my Mom feeds me and takes me back outside. I meet some more neighbors. A while later, the other nice lady from a couple of days ago comes in the door. They say that she is me new Grandma. She says hi to me, they eat dinner and then my Grandma and Mom take me, Jake and KeKe for a walk. When we get home everyone goes to bed. My Mom puts me on a brand new bed. It’s so soft and there isn’t a cage. I love my new bed. I love my new Home. I love my new family.
I am the luckiest dog ever!
Oh by the way, my name isn’t Sprocket anymore. MY NEW NAME IS BOHDI!

He rubs them all over and scratches their ears, neck, back… all over. “Me Too” I yell. My Mom said he was my Uncle Tom and he starts scratching me all over, just like Jake and Keke. I lie down and take a snooze.
I wake up to hear that me new Dad is leaving. “No, don’t go. I just got here”, he hugs me and says he’ll be back. Then my uncle get’s up and says that he’s leaving too. “Is everyone leaving” I think. After they leave, my Mom feeds me and takes me back outside. I meet some more neighbors. A while later, the other nice lady from a couple of days ago comes in the door. They say that she is me new Grandma. She says hi to me, they eat dinner and then my Grandma and Mom take me, Jake and KeKe for a walk. When we get home everyone goes to bed. My Mom puts me on a brand new bed. It’s so soft and there isn’t a cage. I love my new bed. I love my new Home. I love my new family.
I am the luckiest dog ever!
Oh by the way, my name isn’t Sprocket anymore. MY NEW NAME IS BOHDI!
Bohdi, that's me!

Well, the flea bath was nice. They scrubbed me squeaky clean, trimmed my nails and cleaned my ears. I have to say, I smell and look pretty good. I wonder what my new Mom and Dad will say...
As for the surgery, I don't know what they did but man am I sore.
They told me that my new Mom and Dad were picking me up today to take me to my new home. I hope it's one of those nice ladies that came to visit me the other day!
