Suffering from Neglect, Cinnamon Fights Back with Words

Many of you have wondered why I haven't written much lately. And my Facebook friends have suggested that I TELL ALL!

Well, first of all, because my owner has been going on walking tours of historic areas of Portland (way across the bridge from here), I've been having to get up really early. I love sleeping in. But several mornings this week I have had to be up and outside by 8 AM! Imagine! I have to get up, go outside and then can't go back to bed in my warm house because SHE IS LEAVING! So I am fed an early breakfast and have to go in the garage to stay while she is gone. I do have my old bed in the garage, so I usually just sleep the hours away.

So today, Sunday, I am sleeping in as long AS I WANT TO! See my magnificent coonie ball? Nobody better bother me until I, Cinnamon, am ready to get up.

Coonie Ball at 9:30 am

So this week has been a bust for any fun. While she is walking walking tours, I am sleeping. Here's what she does:

Notice that there are NO dogs on this walking tour.

And if that wasn't enough, she had to celebrate Chinese New Year by going to the Lan Su Chinese Garden with her photography friends. They don't allow dogs there either. She had a great time, saw the Lion Dancers and went out for Chinese food. All the while I was locked in the garage with a bowl of water. IMAGINE! And the celebration went on. One night after I had dinner, she took off and went  out to a Chinese restaurant for more celebrating. AND LEFT ME ALL ALONE!

Here's the Lion Dancers. I would have had fun chasing them!

So now it is Sunday and she is FINALLY STAYING HOME! I slept in and will have a leisurely breakfast. I think I'll laze in the sun on the deck because I don't have to go in the garage today. YAY!

See what a week I have had. That's no way to treat a dog, right?

3 Day Neglectathon

Here's where I spent most of the day yesterday. You can see the
marks on the carpet from where things used to be before we started moving.

Hi it's me Cinnamon. I don't have much to write about because I'M NOT DOING MUCH! I'm being neglected for three days in a row.

Why? My owner is a vendor at a huge holiday gift fair and she works from 10 am to 6pm for THREE DAYS!

Now last year I got to go to the Doggie Country Club while she was doing this. I was pampered and got to play with the dogs every day. But this year she made a business decision that the daily fee there was TOO EXPENSIVE! Imagine, considering my fun as a business decision. I am aghast!

So she isn't making enough money to cover my boarding fees. I guess I should be happy I GET FED!

So here I am all day at home with not much to do. Lots of items have been moved from this house to the new one so my room is kinda empty. I do have this computer and my bed, thank goodness. And I can go outside.

But yesterday it rained on and off all day. So what did I do? I slept. I spent most of the day in bed. No cat chasing, no squirrel chasing... NO FUN!

So hopefully today will be a bit better. I'll be alone again but maybe something exciting will happen like the cat will come into my yard.

This is Day #2 of the NEGLECTATHON! Will I survive? I sure hope so because I look forward to running like the wind in my new backyard. I've been promised that for Monday. Monday seems a long, long way off.

Wish me luck!
