Unmentionables

So, this snow stuff is really messing with my routine.

I do NOT like it, let me tell you!

First of all, my last walk of any substance was 7 days ago.

Mom and Dad take me on these little walks but the snow 

hurts my feet.  I guess I need some shoes.

They only let me play frizbee for a little while and now that everything 

is covered in ice, I can't even do that.

My yard is a disaster, and that is the biggest problem.

Humans just don't understand.

Where am I supposed to go to the bathroom?

Where?

I am a pretty regular boy and I was almost 24 hours overdue 

by the time I finally, well, you know.

Imagine your comfy bathroom suddenly covered in 

6 inches of feathers and on top of that, 

a sheet of freezing cold plywood.

Not very pleasant.

Nevermind!

The snow is back!

I would like to play!

Ahem...

Yes, excuse me.

The snow is gone.

I would like to come in.

Door, please.

Sweet Moves

Hey, you wanna see my sweet moves?

First I get ready...

Oh!  There's the throw!

I'm on it!

Almost got it!

Got it!

Piece of cake!

This is child's play.

Here I come!

Let's do it again!

I love frizbee in the snow!

Deja vous part two

Look what happened outside today!

I wanted to run, and play, and frolic!

Playing chase with my frizbee was extra-fun.

I got really excited a few times and started racing around the yard.  

Look at my extreme agility!

When I finally calmed down, I really liked schnuffling around.  

Things smell better covered in cold, yummy snow!

Yep!  Lots of stuff to do when the world is covered in snow!

Deja Vous

I had the strangest feeling of deja vous today.

When I first came to live with my mom and dad, the weirdest thing happened!

This white stuff came out of the sky and everything felt really cold.

I remember looking all around this new place and thinking, 

"Huh.  Weird just got weirder."

What I discovered was that it was really fun 

to run and slide around in all the chilly white stuff.

If you want to read about it, be sure to read my post from that day.

Happy Holidays!

So, my parents decided they wanted a Christmas photo.  

I don't really know why, but it was really confusing for me.

They put these weird jingling things around my neck and paws.

I made all this noise while I walked around.

Then they got some cheese out, and I found it very distracting.

Every time I sat down to patiently wait for my cheese, they told me to lie down.

Then they would try to move me around.

Look at my mom trying to shove me over when 

I was just trying to be good and get some cheese!

She finally seemed happy with this picture and a couple others.  

That guy with the beard scared me a little.

Happy Holidays!

Sicky Poo

My mom and dad came home from work yesterday to find me very, very under the weather.  I had to stay outside for a long time while they cleaned up.  Then, they only gave me a little bit of my dinner.  THEN they took me in the car to get a (yuck!) bath.  I guess my smelly fur was a little offensive to them.  It was a lousy day.

The good news is today I'm feeling much better!  I was confined to the kitchen all day.  I guess that area is easier to clean up then the carpeted area.  But mom and dad mentioned how glad they are that they didn't replace the carpet this summer!  I even got to go on a little walk! Life is good again!

What I'm Thankful For...

1.  All the people who love me!

2.  Biscuits that fly through the air.

3.  Ahhh, belly rubs...

4.  My Budweiser towel.  

5.  Little licks of ice cream.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Who's the Boss?

Oh, are you talking to me?  I know I'm up here on the couch which is supposedly "off-limits".  Yeah right, like all the other rules you guys try to enforce.

Well, if what you have to say is interesting, I may decide to listen.  

Something about cookies, perhaps?

Hmmm, I'm listening.

You're blathering on and on about why I'm not supposed to be on the couch.

I've heard this before.

Yawn.  This is boring me.

Whatever.  I'll just go back to what I was watching.

Oh good, the Dog Whisperer is over.

Wretched, wretched show.

Ooo, Groomer Has It. 

Um, can you move?  You're blocking my view...

Doggie Toupee

I have a little quirk I'd like to share with you.  

Many people call it my doggie toupee.  I think it makes me look dashing.  

It is a section of hair on my back that is longer and courser than all my other hair.

When I'm nervous, it stands up and makes me look tough!

It is only on my shoulders like you see in the picture.

Aren't I special?!?

Boo?

So, my mom and dad spent all this time carving pumpkins and then they made me 

sit in front of them for a picture.  The flash was really bright.

I'm not really impressed.

They could at least have let me have some of the pumpkin guts.

I'm sure they were delicious.

To the Little People...

I'd like to thank the little people that helped make this day possible.

My papa.  Without him, I'd have no one to cuddle with when I'm scared, no one to pick up my "business", and no one to wake up from a nap with a big lick on the face.  He loves it, I know!

And my mom.  Without her, my ears would never get cleaned, I'd have never tasted ice cream, and I would never get to wear ridiculous, I mean, attractive outfits.

Graduation Day part 2!

We had to show off our tricks before we could get our diplomas!  Mine was "which one", which is kind of like pick a hand.  Sometimes when I choose a hand, there is a treat inside...

Sometimes there isn't.  I think it is a dumb trick, but Mom thinks it is really cool.  I get frustrated, but it is worth it when I find something yummy!

Jimmy showed us all he can shake.  I can do that too, but I would never be able to sit on that little stool.  That is an amazing trick!

Finally, Indy showed off her fantastic spin. 

She is such a model!  Here is one of her in a witch outfit. 

 

I think the hat must be very heavy...

Graduation Day!

DUM! Da da da DUM DUM!  DUM, da da da DUM!

Today was graduation day at school!  It was a very exciting day.  First, my new friends and I had to show off our tricks.  Ginger went first and amazed us all by going through a hoop!  I couldn't believe my eyes!

What a big day!

Yeeoww!

At school today we discovered that I have gained 5 pounds in one month.  I am now 66.8 pounds!  I must have had a growth spurt!  People are commenting that I look "taller" but I think I look more handsome by the day!
