Up

Dear Diary,
My foster family thinks of everything! Back at the track I had to jump if I wanted to get anywhere higher than the floor, but here I have stairs. I have to admit that I was proud of myself when I mastered the stairs to the deck in the backyard, but that was nothing compared to what was to come. My foster family introduced me to a whole new part of the house...a second floor! The only drawback...more stairs! I was a little intimidated, but my foster brother showed me how it was done with a few quick trips up and down. In no time, I was exploring the second floor, but then it came time to go back down. I'm not sure how it is for humans, but getting up there was the easy part. After some further instruction from my foster brother and some coaxing/paw holding from my foster mom, I was back down on solid ground. I am learning so many new things, smelling new scents, and tasting new flavors...I just feel so worldly now!
