I'm independant!

Well, tonight I went out with my buddy Sam. I am independant now.... don't even need mum to come with me! I was gone for over an hour to Sam's house. Sam's humans had relatives over, but they didn't have any cool balls to throw for me, so I just played with Sam a lot. I'm way more confident now, since I know I can take care of myself without having mum around.
One time she was gone for a long while, on a 'holiday'. Why she would even consider not taking me I'll never know, I like boats!!! But I stayed with her parents at the farm for a while. Ate lots of chicken, and got kinda chubby, but, I'm still svelte...
Wish mum had lots of chicken.
