I'm Doggedly Devoted to Yoooooooouuuuuu

Yesterday was my last day at Doggedly Devoted, my daycare in Harlem. I love going there! I don't like it when Mama leaves, but I love hanging out with my doggy friends. Mama and Papa love it too. They like to take me to Wag and Wines, which are social hours for humans and doggies. For Thanksgiving, Ms. Megan and her staff-peoples made paw prints for our families, and for Christmas, Ms. Megan made an ornament that looks like me! And I get baths there sometimes. They are very special. I go on Mondays. For the past few weeks, Myla and I have spent hours and hours rolling around and chewing on each other's faces. It is so fun! But I had to say goodbye yesterday, and that was kinda sad.

The day started off so fun. Mama and I ran into Ms. Megan and Ms. Blossom on our way in, and I was so happy to see them! I love them. Especially Ms. Blossom-- I jump up on her a lot and she doesn't like that. I started trying to tell them how much I love them, and when they went in the opposite direction-- Mama said they were going home-- I yelled at them to please come baaaaack! They laughed and said they would see me soon. OK! We kept going until we got to daycare and I was so so so excited. Mr. Jacob took my leash and collar, but then I realized Mama was leaving and I tried to go after her. That wasn't fun. I hate it when Mama goes home without me. But after a few minutes I calmed down and went to PLAY.

Myla and Cole were there, and we ran and chased all around the playroom until we got so tired! There was a new doggy there named Jay-Z (Papa thought that was funny when I told him later) and he was cool too. Yay! So much fun! We got our pictures taken and I was having the best time. Myla and Cole had their picture taken with a sign that means they'll miss me.

Here's me playing with Jay-Z:

And here's me and Myla. Ms. Megan told her I was leaving for North Carolina and she told me it would all be OK.

Mama and Papa came to get me at the end of the day. Mama was sad-- she said she'll miss Doggedly Devoted too. I was so happy to see them, though! I went to the side of the building and I peed a TON. Papa says that was my last goodbye to DD. Then when we started walking towards home, we saw Mr. Christian! He works at Doggedly Devoted and he takes nice pictures and I like him. I jumped on him to hug him goodbye. Then we saw Ms. Blossom again! I jumped up some more, but Papa made me stop. But I love her! I wanted to kiss her more! She said she wants to move to North Carolina too, so I can't wait to show her my new house and my backyard and all my new friends. Thank you very much, DD!
