The Bruno Chronicles - The Many Lives of Bruno

Guest Blogger: Bruno

As many of you know two years ago Jacquie and Steve adopted me in Kansas City.  I was a kennel dog.  I didn't know much about country life, but I trusted these two and learned to swim and hunt and how to chase deer.  Little did I know that I had more learning to do.

Helloooooooooo Chicago!  After a LONG ride in a cramped car I arrived in the windy city, a concrete jungle filled with sidewalks, bridges, more sidewalks, cars, smoky loud trains and dogs...lots of dogs and people....so many people.

I brought a few friends with me to make sure that my new home felt familiar.  At first I needed those friends to feel at home.  I had a lot to learn and not much time to learn it.  At first I stuck pretty close to my mom and was a little nervous.

Let me tell you it's quite a change.  I've had my first elevator ride, gotten to know and love the doormen, learned to cross streets and poop where and when the time is right.  I am bound and determined to meet, greet and politely slobber on each and every Chicago resident.  I've already gone swimming in Lake Michigan and every day I play fetch in my local dog park.  Sometimes I have to share my ball.

The balcony is one of my favorite places.  I can feel the wind, enjoy the outdoors, and look out on this beautiful city.  I'm out and about in the city all the time.  I even saw the Chicago marathon. (I wanted to run too!)

I got some new duds too.  I have a leash and a good supply of poop bags.  No more hiding poop in the woods.  It goes in these bags and we keep the city clean!

Got a new houndstooth collar too...pretty uptown don't you think?  City guys are well dressed and classy.  That's me!

I've learned that as long as I stay with my family, I can live anywhere and be happy.  Thanks to everyone who has been asking about me.  I'm good and learning to be a city boy!
