Hello Blogville!!

Um...hellooooo?? Is dis thing on? Okay, hi everybody! I'm MATILDA!


Sometimes Momma calls me Tilda, or Tildy, or Waltzing Matilda, or Puppy, or Baby Girl. My new sister Pigeon mostly calls me Hiss! You can call me any of dat. So Momma and Pigeon told me that I'm now a blogger. That seems like a lot of responsibility for a little pup, but I'll try my hardest! Maybe chewing on things will help? Mostly I chew things. Dat's how I relax. Momma has been nice and gave me a HUGE bone this morning to chew on while she goes to dat "work" place.

Okay, so let me back up. Momma says all my new Blogville Aunties and Uncles have heard the story of how she found me and we decided to be family. It's the BESTEST story! I loved my foster mom, but I knew I had a FOREVER Momma waiting out there for me. Then she showed up right at my foster home, and we both knew right away!! It was hard just having visits and waiting impatiently to come home for reals. Then last night, she came to my foster home and told me it was time to come home!!! I made sure to tell her how excited I was. She seemed pretty excited too.


 Then she gave me my very own FUREVER collar. It's purple, which she said is my new color because it looks best against my reddish furs. Of course I look good in it! I'd look good in anything. But purple is a ROYAL color. I heard there were some queens and even an Empress named Matilda. So my new royal collar is pawfect.


After about eighty gazillion million pictures, we said goodbye to everyone at my foster home. I'll miss Foster Mom and Foster Dad, and the cute little skin kid there. I GUESS I'll even miss my foster sister Gala, even though she was mean and yelled at me and gave me a bleeding broken toenail an HOUR before Momma showed up to take me home. I mean reallys!!! I's fine now, though. So Momma and I got in the car, with my fancy ROYAL harness and ROYAL leash.


 We got home and I sniffed EVERYTHING! Pigeon gave me a long hiss that I'm assuming meant "welcome home, little sister," but I don't speak Cat. Hopefully we'll bond a little as time goes by.


After talking to Pigeon and playing with toys, I went on my first grand exploration of the area. Momma calls it "walkies."


But it wasn't just a walk. It was a SAFARI!!! Look at who I bravely encountered!


 They were in awe to see a real Queen come by. They were scared stiff!! Maybe they'll relax the next time we go by.

Afterwards, Momma and I played a bit, then she said it was playtime. I got real excited and started jumping all over her as she laid down to play with me. What fun!!! But oh, she said it was BEDTIME. So I laid down next to her and took a nice long nap. Then I woke up and played with my squirrels again, but I was nice and only squeaked them a little. Then I slept on the padded storage bench at the foot of the bed. Then Momma took me out to potty again, then we went back to bed. This time I realized that UNDER the bed is a pawfect Matilda-sized hidey hole. So I snoozed under there and was totally hidden. Momma couldn't see me at ALL this morning. It was pure luck that she squeezed my paws sticking out from under the bed and told me good morning.

We went for ANOTHER walk -- are we going to do two every day?? That would be pawesome!! Then I had breakfast.


 Then Momma and I played Tug a bit. I'm SO much better at it than she is. Hah!


Then I settled down on the bed with my squirrels again and watched Momma put on nice clothes without dog hair on them. She said it was time to go to "work".


I'm not sure what that means, but she gave me a HUGE pawesome bone and closed the door of my crate while I chewed on it. I don't really mind. This is a seriously amazing bone. But maybe a little later I'll try out some of my escape artist skills. Momma said my great-brother Casey was a super escape artist, so I bet she'll appreciate that.

So....am I doing okay on this blogging thing? I don't think getting Momma to take pictures is gonna be a problem, so I'll give you more updates on my royal adventures. Until then, Matilda and Momma, signing out!


PeeS: People are asking, so I guess I should add how old I am. I was born on February 20th, so I am 4 and a half months old!
