Oh My Dog!

Friday night Mama and Daddy asked me if I wanted to go for a ride. Well, is the Pope Catholic?! Of course!

But then we went to a place I vaguely remembered from last year and when we got there, Mama carried me inside. She said "You can't walk on the leash because your collar is too big and there are cars."

Then she put me in a rolling cart and we rolled around the store - it was all pet stuff!!! I was shaking because I was afraid they were leaving me there like they did at the groomer and vet a couple of times, but still I sniffed treats and we bought some, and then I tried on new collars and we got some new rawhide bones too!

My new collar is pink and it has bling on it! I love it because it's soft. I just recently graduated to a collar - I have been wearing a harness for walks, but now Mama says I'm old enough to walk with just a collar on. I already had a pink leash, so I'm all set!

We paid for my stuff and rolled back out, then Mama carried me to the car! Oh and we looked at some birds that were in there. Since I was so nervous, we didn't spend a lot of time in the store, so I want to go back and look at some more stuff. Now that I have my collar, it will be easier too.

Then we came home and I shared my treats with Emma. But NOT the cats! They already have plenty of stuff.

My new picture

That was taken when I had long hair. Since then Mama cut it.

And now I'm shorter than Emma! We look the same size when I have long hair, but she is a lot bigger really.

I had an ear infection last week and it was horrible. Mama cleaned my ear out several times and put medicine in it. That's when she clipped me too. She thought I might be more comfy if I wasn't so hot! It did feel better, but the ear medicine was the best thing. It made my ear quit hurting.

It's raining here! Not that we care a lot because we hate going outside anyway. Emma and I spend as little time as possible out there when we have to go. But Daddy hasn't taken me for as many rides either, so I hope it quits pretty soon.

DARN CATS!!

They monopolize the puter and Emma and I don't get to update anything.

There are 5 of them now! I learned to count, and we are outnumbered by 3!!

It's not fair. Poor Snooper is outnumbered 3 to 1. What's that all about?

But at least Allie turned out to be ok. We are both Daddy's animals and we're both the trouble-makers so we bonded. We play together all the time now and I let her wash the top of my head. She taught me to play mousies and I taught her how to wrestle. We are about the same size and weigh about the same now too. And we run through the house together too!

But she's still growing, so I think she's gonna be bigger than me. Rats. But she might be a good protector.

And of course Phoebe is still my cat mama and rubs on me all the time. It's the tom cats I don't get along with. HEY, if we divide us up that way, there are 4 females and 3 males so we've got THEM outnumbered!

I'm gonna go tell Emma.
