Hi guys! In case you were wondering, I’m still a puppy, and I am thriving here in Seattle! I am sleeping a lot! Eating a lot! Pooping A LOT! Running a lot (thanks Matt)! There are lots of new smells and I’m still exploring everytime we go outside, but in the meantime, we have also been getting really festive for the holidays!
Tonight, we’re staying in Buffalo, Wyoming!
Last night, we stayed somewhere in the midwest and Del was kind enough to let me run around the parking lot of the Motel 6!!! At first, he forgot to leave the door all the way open for me, but believe me…I found my own way out!
I was really confuse when we left Unadilla, but once we got near Binghamton, I thought for sure I was just going back to our old apartment, but WE DROVE RIGHT PAST! I tried to let him know…I said “HEY! I’m Santana! This is where I live! I’m a pupppppyyy!!!”, but we just kept going! So then I just got some ZZZ’s and let Del handle the driving…I’ll drive on the way back, I guess! But you better believe I’ll be using the A/C when I’m behind the wheel…it’s too hot without it!! I did get a little tray full of ice for when I got too hot, so that was nice.
We might get all the way to Seattle tomorrow night, but we’ll have to see…we’ve been getting up SUPER early and driving all day long, and we’ve gone almost 2,000 miles so far! I am the most well-traveled puppy you guys have ever known, I bet…I mean, I’m Santana!!
Anyway, I miss Freckles, and I hope she is watching over my house for me….
XOXO
Santana
HI, I AM SANTANA
SO GET THIS. SOON, I WILL BE WITH MALLORY.
Also, I miss dangles…
I GOTTA GO GET READY TO SEE MALLORY IT IS SO SOON!
Hi from home!
I haven’t been writing much because I have been packing my things up for a couple weeks now, getting ready for the long drive to Seattle. I am so excited! I had a bath two weeks ago to get ready AND I have been digging so many holes in preparation! I thought I would post some pictures on my puppy blog (since I’m a puppy, you know), so that Matt and Mallory remember what I look like and can find me once I get out there to Seattle. I can’t wait to smell them again!
This is my comfy bed, where I dig, sleep, fuss and jump!
Hey, let’s take a look around my backyard!
OVER HERE!!
I love to dig behind my house!
I like to dig behind my house, where there are lots of leaves, dirt, rocks, and bugs!
But, I’m not against digging right in the middle of the lawn either!
You’d never believe the great things I can find in these holes!!! 
Oh, wait! It sounds like dinner time!This is where I eat my dinner on nice days…the frisbee is like a giant food dish just for me!
Anyway, thanks for letting me show you around my fun Unadilla life. I love it here, but I miss Matt and Mallory…see you guys soon!!!
Mallory was initially against puppies all dressed up, but I’m a big fan of bandanas (after a bath!) and there are some days when a girl just needs a new shirt….
"I’m So Happy I Could Pee"
Hey, I think I found something…let me just dig it out…
Look!! A rock!!
All in all, a great day for a pink shirt!

Here is Freckles’s reaction to the whole thing…
not so amused….
she chose to sit this one out in her house…
(and she looks a little drunk, huh?)
Crazy old lady, but I love her!
Hey, Mallory, Its ME … SANTANA. Just wanted to let you know that there was an accident….
It wasn’t me…. I promise. Don’t be mad 
Puppy please?
All I can say is that it has been a LONG exhausting process getting a Masters degree.
Sigh.
Hey, guys! It’s me, Santana, and I’m getting ready to move!! In case any of my puppy friends are out of the loop (come on, guys, get in here!), Mallory and I are packing up all of our sharp toys, little shreds of paper, chewy treats and digging blankets. We’re moving to SEATTLE with Matt! I have to stay in Unadilla with Freckles for a couple months while Mallory finds a place that is perfect for me.
To help her out, I decided to make a list of some things I’m looking for in my ideal apartment:
1) Lots of GRASS - I am a picky picky pooper, and even though I’ve gotten a little better recently, I don’t like to go in the wrong spot, so we need an apartment with just the right amount of exactly-the-right-height grass.
2) Room to RUUUUNNNNN - You guys all know how fast I can run, right? I mean, I’m Santana…I am FAST! I need a room where I can wake up from my nap and take off in giant, speeding circles!
3) A really close bus stop - Now, I’m not really allowed to ride the bus, and frankly, I’m faster than any bus (see #2). However, Matt rides the bus to and from work every day, and in order to get to the bus, he has to walk. I am concerned with this because I’m VERY much against Matt walking outside without me to guide and protect him. So, ideally, I need the distance to the bus to be a short as possible.
4) Windows - I don’t know how Matt is doing it without me in Seattle right now, but I know that Mallory would barely be able to survive if I wasn’t here to look out the window. This way I am the first to know if anyone is coming to visit us, coming into our section of the apartment building, walking by our door, or thinking about walking by our door. And you bet I let Mallory know when I see anything suspicious (and sometimes when I just notice that nothing has changed or moved at all)…she is really dependent on my barking, growling and fluffled up wolf-like neck and back fur!
5) Dark Nights - It takes a LOT of work for me to dig and burrow into the blankets to cover my face, so I would really enjoy someplace without a lot of streetlights lighting up my room at night!
6) Food Ball - Mallory is being rather unclear about whether or not she is bringing my food ball with us to Seattle, so I’m just making it official here. We NEED a food ball. I am big enough to eat out of a bowl now, but seriously…it’s a ball! Full of food!What else could a puppy (or Matthew) really ask for?!
I hope this helps! If you have any questions about puppy requirements, please address them to Dangles, who keeps track of my whereabouts and daily activities.
Good day.
My owner, Mallory, isn’t feeling great tonight. BUT I, SANTANA, have a plan to make her feel better.
I will LET her give me, SANTANA, a second dinner of her choice (ball or bowl). I will do anything to make her feel better and this second dinner plan is NO exception.
I wonder what the best way for me, SANTANA, to let her know this good news is?
