School started last night and Mom says that I was pretty much a complete jerk. Actually I thought I was a pretty good boy considering all the new dogs in my school kingdom and the neat smells on the rubber mat floor. She says I left my manners at home (didn't know I had any) and that I have to quit making so much noise whenever anydog so much as passes gas. I also am not allowed to sniff butts, since these are dogs who don't cotton to that sort of activity. (They're not as much fun as last year's group, though with a little work Bentley and Royce * who are just babies * will come around). I guess I now have a list of things that need to be "worked" on before I re-enter the public domain. Gees, when is it going to end. I'm just too social for my own good. I'm going to see if Mom will let me be the official meeter and greeter at school next week so I don't have to call so much attention to myself.
