It has been 2 weeks since my new Brother arrived and well the first few Days I did not want him here at all because Mum is mine, but he has not taken my Mum away, Mum still gives me lots of cuddles and tells Ging no when he tries to come between the cuddles
So I sort of accepted him
Sunday Night I was in real trouble with Mum she was really mad at me,
I started a Fight with Ging and I made him bleed, Mum did not like that,
She put me in the bedroom for time out and for me to calm down as I was so mad, I was not happy, because Mum stayed with Ging, she cleaned him up and sat cuddling him, I guess I was naughty for doing that
Half an hour later Mum come through, she asked if I had calmed down, if I had I was aloud out
Well I sort of had but I did not attack Ging again because I know I would have been in real trouble then and I did not want to get wet again either as Mum sprayed us both to get us apart
The thing is Ginger the Ninja keeps following me everywhere, when I sleep in his bed he drags it round the Living Room, which really is not funny when you are trying to sleep, I mean I let him sleep in my bed last Night and did not drag him round the bedroom so what is he playing at here
Then he has this silly Monkey he keeps carrying round I don't know
Today he was told of by Mum because every time I try to sleep he comes and bugs me and then he tried to jump on me, so Mum told him No and she smacked her hand on the Settee, she told him that is a no and if he does not stop that he has to be done (what ever that is) I felt a bit sorry for him though, then he got told of again because he went to have a Drink and then came over to Mm and dribbled on her Laptop oh oh never Mum's Laptop because Mum does get angry I did tell him that last time when he had to go in time out for nearly having a wee on it
He still does have wee in the House, I feel sorry for him when Mum tells him of and then puts him in time out, I shout at Mum and stand in front of Ging, but somehow I manage to get into trouble for that which confuses me, I mean I am suppose to look after my little Brother even though he is a pain well how can I do that when I get in trouble from Mum
Well I am not as bad with him any more, Mum has told him I am the Boss and that will never change, he is starting to get used to that so that is ok with me, yesterday my Dave came and my fears where uncalled for as he fussed me cuddled me before he spoke to Ging so that made me really happy and I did not mind him fussing Ging after
My Dave said I will always be his favourite so I am happy, I did not get pushed out by anyone like I thought I would be
So it looks like Mum again was more stubborn then me, she did say Ging was here to stay and that she knows I will come to accept him
Well it was worth a try wasn't it ??????????????

Kids today, hmm Gissi?, ahh, what's a puppy to do. I'm sure things will work out eventually and you'll all be one happy family. It's hard getting use to a new brother around, and that includes Ging getting use to you also.
It is funny though that he drags you around when you are trying to sleep, but he doesn't know you are older and need this nap time. He just wants you to play all the time.
Mom loves you both so keep your whiskered chin up, better times are ahead and all will settle down.

It only hurts for a little while, and then it is forgotten. No one wants to be hurt but sometimes we have to do, what we have to do, to make things work out for the best, and Mum knows best.
We don't want you hurt either little guy, so this should benefit all involved, and make life a bit easier...xxx

I'm glad to hear you and that other dog are working it out. Right now meowmy has another cat in the bathroom. We don't know who she is, but we want to see her, but they are keeping the door shut - darn them!
Meomy says that she's only here today and she's going to the V*E*T tomorrow...
speaking of V*E*Ts, meomy took Star there today and didn't come back with here - what's with that?

Awe Gissi...you got a new brother!! How cool is that?? I have not logged on for a while so this is the first i heard about it but i think its great! It takes time and patience to get used to a new brother but before you know it you wont know what you ever did without him. And he will calm down a bit after he is "done" lol....
Hey...maybe when he tries to sleep in your bed next time you should drag him round...maybe thats what he wants you to do since he does it to you...lol...he will calm down in time so enjoy his antics while you can....something to laugh about later on!

Well, Gissi, I can understand your frustration but I must admit that I burst out laughing when you told us about Ging pulling you around the living room when you sleep in his bed.
Of course, he thinks you want to play if you're on his bed! You have to realize that. Actually, you should think of it as play and join in instead of getting upset. If you REALLY want to sleep then you should sleep in your own bed, you know.
Now, try to get along with your new brother because he's there to stay. It seems to me that, if you just ignore him when you don't want to be bothered, he will eventually realize that you want to be left alone. He needs to learn how to find other things to play with and he will. Just give him some time.

Hi Gissi, There is one think that you have to remember and that is Mum is always right. Sometimes you may not understand why she does something but there is a reason. I agree it wasn't at all nice to fight with Ging and make him bleed. If you keep this up you will be as bad as people - and that would never do! I'm glad that you have decided to be a good big brother now though so I think it will all work out fine. I send my blessings to the three of you.

hi gissi mylove you are growing wiser in your older brotherhood. good for you. I am so proud of you, I would get you a good hug if I was not all the way across the Pond. Oh mum meant Ginger has to stop doing that, jumping on you. oh my so he dribbled water on mum's laptop.Yes you are
starting to be big brother here. So you tried to stick up for him and
mum scolded you, well I guess she felt you were interfering with her discipline with ginger. Just keep on being your lovable self and things
well start to work out really well.I think you are doing a great job being a big brother to Ginger. hugs from hatley.
