Jacob vs. Edward

Winston being a Wolf in the Woods

In the land of Twilight, yet another Jacob runs the Woods

Being a dog who knows about pop culture, I am aware of the heated debate caused by New Moon- Jacob vs. Edward. It would be difficult for me not to be aware, considering I’m living in the land where apparently vampires and werewolves run free. I think it is clear what side I must fall on, and I must remind you, that my middle name is in fact, Jacob. Since I was a puppy, I have dreamed of being a wolf, or a dog that could turn into a wolf- a caniwulf, or even better, a dog that could turn into a wolf and then into a man during the full moon. It seems that I am now among my brethren!

For the past 20 of 21 days it has rained here, which can only mean that the vampires have been roaming freely. But today it was sunny out, so I went to the lake to see if I could spot these sparkling fiends. Although I didn’t catch any- be warned vampires, a new wolf named Jacob now roams the Puget Sound!

Boredom

Bored Winston

Bored Winston

I’m so bored. Basically all I do is sleep all day long. North Dakota was so cold, and nothing like England, and my mom wasn’t there, but I had friends, Anni and Twag. Here all the other dogs are mean, they always bark when we walk. And I never see any of my friends. I’m so bored here that I have even uploaded all my old blogs to this site, which you can now reread in the archive.

Now all my parents do is work. My mom goes to work so very early, and she wakes me up at 530 in the morning so that I can go for a walk with her. Which I rarely want to do because the bed is so warm, and its the same bed as in England. Most of the time when we go out it is raining, and I don’t like being a wet dog- I like that worse than being a cold dog.

Dad is worse. He is home all day now, which at first I thought was going to be awesome! But he goes upstairs to work and even though I can go with him, he is so busy on those computers that I can’t get a word in edgewise! Believe me, I try. I beg, I whine, I tear through the house. He’ll get up and let me outside, sometimes take me for a walk, but he always goes back to work. I’m always waiting at the top of the stairs to listen for mom opening the garage door because I know that’s when he’ll stop working… sometimes. I have even learned this trick. I’ll sneak up under his desk, and when he’s least expecting it, or if he leans away from his keyboard even a little bit- BAM! I’m in his lap! It’s not very comfortable up there though.

So I’m bored. I need a friend. What I really want is a new puppy in the house, a schnauzer just like my friend in North Dakota. So everyone out there reading this- please comment and tell my parents that it is time for a second dog in the house!
