Jack is Back!

I've been gone for a long time and I wish I could say I'd been on a big puppy adventure but alas, my days have been spent alone, in my room, with only monkey and alligator to keep me company.
You see, Mom started school about 3 weeks ago and my life since then has been very different. No more hanging out during the day. No more walks in the nice sunshine. No more eating whenever I want. Now it's me and my room. All day. And I can only eat in the morning and when Mom comes home! They left me water twice but I used it as a swimming pool for monkey and alligator. I thought it was a GREAT idea, and monkey and alligator had fun, but Mom was not amused, so now Dad doesn't fill the bowl in the morning. Hmph. No more swimming pool. If only I could figure out those knobs in that thing where they give me my bath.....
I do, however, manage to get their towels down every day, even when they hang them REALLY high. Black poodles can jump :)
Anyways, let me get to what's really bothering me before they come and lock me up again. What is up with this people school thing? I go to puppy class once a week, and from what I hear this week is the last one. I know I needed to learn how to sit and stay and leave things like chicken bones on the ground. But my Mom does all of that already, so why on earth does she go to school all day everyday? From what I see, she doesn't have any new tricks. She just comes home her same old self, only I have to spend my days in the bathroom. Unless somebody can explain this to me, I'm going to organize a boycott of people school because I want my Mom back! No more bathroom for Jack! No more prison for monkey and alligator!
