Dear Puppy Journal. I am a beautiful Chocolate & White Chihuahua with merle markings. I think my studies have been going well. I’ve watched Mom and Dad in their day-to-day tasks with their humans. Dad says he was taught to shake so that he can participate in important business dealings. Maybe someday, I’ll be promoted by my very own human to do the same. I have become aware that there are many different kinds of food. The first being a sort of dehydrated brown niblet, the second being a kind of wet food which I have come to understand is so special that they keep it in little armored cans that no paw or claw can penetrate; and then all of the other food is anything and everything the humans are eating. This last type of food is sacred, as it is always just a bit out of reach and the humans do not always share. Maybe you as my human, will share all with me.
