Freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know what's happening in our house but after almost two long years of being locked away each night (and sometimes during the day too!!) in a crate I and my most wonderful girlfriend Nola have been left to our own devices at night. Something must be wrong with Nola though because she still sleeps in her crate. That's just crazy. I usually go sleep on the couch in the same room with her so I can be as close to her as possible.
The only problem with this new found freedom is that sometimes I have to go to the bathroom and Mama and Daddy don't seem to thrilled with me when I go on the carpet. They've been doing all sorts of new things like taking away the water after dinner and Daddy's been walking me before bedtime but still, sometimes when you have to go you have to go. Mama keeps telling me to let them know when that happens but I haven't figured that out just yet.
Mama has been walking us a lot too. I am trying really hard to do better with the cars but its hard, they are really loud and scary and I just know they are going to hurt Mama or Nola. Yesterday this really large yellow one drove by us 3 times. I finally had to let it know who was in charge and gave it a good barking. Gotta watch out for my peeps.
