Words from Winston

Hi guys, it's me, Winston! It's been a rough past week around here. My parents left me for five days! Sure, people came to let me out, change my food, and take me for walks, but for the most part I was locked up all day. ALL DAY I TELL YOU! A little fur ball of energy like me just can't handle that, so you know what I did? I chewed my way to sweet freedom! The netting on those gates are for infants not stallions like me! When ever will they learn? I roamed free for who knows how long! It really was a party. I ripped stuffing from every stuffed animal I could find. I chewed J. Crew sandals (who knows what those are? I guess something special because mom about lost it) to shreds, I even chewed a three inch hole in the carpet. Who knew I was capable of so much? 

Mom and Dad finally came home sunday night. It has been so nice to run and play and lick their faces again! I even greeted them with the biggest and worst gas emissions I've ever had. And boy, they must have really thought it was a treat. They were hootin' and hollerin' and they even let me play outside for 30 minutes! 

I'm just so glad to have them home. Mom has been home with me practically all day studying for some dreaded event she calls finals. It's great to have her home but she doesn't even pay any attention to me. I try to sit by her and do that studying stuff but it's just so boring. I hope mom gets back to normal soon. She stays in her pajamas all day staring at books and screens. 

Dad, on the other hand, is so much fun! He takes me for runs around the block at midnight. Mom says it's just to tire me out so I'll go to sleep, but I know it's because dad wants alone time with me. We need our special guy time. We bark together, play fetch, wrestle, and take baths (usually separate, but if I'm sneaky enough I can jump in while he's looking the other way). I know mom loves me, but dad is just so much nicer. Wanna know a secret? Sometimes, when mom is out of town, Dad lets me sleep in the bed! I love that guy!
