Nuffin' Goin On Here....

I am beggin' my momma for some puter time tonight. She said she has WOTS of homework, so I told her I would make it quick. I HAD to go visit my fwiends for a few minutes and pway some games...cuz I weally fink they missed me! Poor Zoe even sent me a wetter cuz she wuz wowwied 'bout me! When I told momma she said ok that I could come pway, she didn't want any sweet and pwetty doggies being wowwied.

I weally have been ok...just not any 'citement goin on 'wound here. Until just wite this very minute! Momma wooked outside...and wight outside our swiding gwass window , in our patio chair...you will never ever guess what is there! It is a kitty! Not my brofur....but a whole nuver kitty! He just got wight up in that chair and went and waid down! Momma has seed him 'fore and he is a sweet baby she said...she seed him one time a wong time ago before I wived here and almost took him in for Sage's brofur...I'm gwad she didn't cuz then she wouldn't have founded me! Anyway, momma got some of my brofurs food and some water and took to him. He didn't wun or nufin! He stood there and ated the food and dwank the waters and then waid back down in the chair! He is gway tabby wif pwetty gween eyes. Momma finks she needs to give him a towel or somefing to curl up in...so we may do that waiter. She said I can't weally go pway wif him, cuz he might have somefing...and Sage can't pway wif him either...but momma says she will make sure he has food if he wants to stick awound and be our outside pwotector! He is asweep wite now...cept Sage keeps going MEOW at him, cuz Sage wants to get to pway wif him pwetty bad...Sage wikes uver kitties a wot....I don't know if I wike him or not. I twust Sage cuz he is my brofur and he never hurts me when we pway...but that new kitty might not know that I am a gweat doggy pal.

In the meantime, momma says she needs her puter back...'sides me and Sage gotta go watch this new kitty...oh, he's asweep weel good now!

Kitty Pawty!!

I just had to wet all my pup pals know what I found out fwom my brofur, Sage the kitty!!! You know, I told you how me and my momma had a 'venture not this day, but uver day? Me and you guys was so sure he had a big kitty pawty while me and momma was gone, well, while momma was gone to work the next day, he told me what happened!!

Sage the kitty, my brofur (who is vewy handsome boy for a kitty) told me that he DID have a wittle get-togefer, but it isn't wike I fink. He said his fwiends are pwetty mewwo, and that it was just a few of the boys, and no woose women were awwowed.(My brofur has an onwine gurlfwiend of wike free years or somefing...her name is SugarPuff) He said they pwaid a wittle cards, had some cat-nip ale, and meowed about the twouble of homewess kitties and how to twy and solve the pwobwem. They also had some tuna tweats and wistened to some jazz music....he said they are aristocats...kinda. Not onwy that, but he had a supwise for ME.....Sophie! He said if I check his bafwoom awea, they had me some extwa special kitty nugget tweats wif extwa spwinkles!

I fink my kitty brofur weally wuvs me...and I wuv him too...maybe I should go pway chase wif him to pwoove it!!

Momma Made a Boo-Boo aka Adventure for Sophie!

My momma made a boo-boo and it made us haveded to go on a ‘venture!! Momma said to don’t ask why, but we got to pwetend we was on a vacation not today but yesterday when she got home fwom work. She said it could be fun wuffin’ it for one night, but she had to do an onwine meeting wif some peeples in one of her new cwasses waiter. So, she was able to find us a pet-fwiendwy hotel for the night!

I didn’t know where we was goin, but I am awways up for a twip anywhere wif my momma! We got to where we was goin,which weally wasn’t vewy far fwom home.She wouldn’t wet me come in at vewy first. Then we got out, and she got a elebenty million (Thanks Zaidie) bags out of the car and ME, Sophie…and here we goed. She pusheded a button…and you know what happeneded? A DOOR OPENED and my cwazy momma…she walked wight in there…and wanted me to come wif her! She said, “Come on sweetie, its just an ewebator”…but I fink momma had losteded it …again! Finawy, I got in…and those doors…they twied to cwose behinded me! I twied to wun out and they stopped…but momma said I had to come in side this woom. Then the doors did cwose and we moved and the doors openeded again and we got out…cwazy! then we went in a woom where there was a big tv and a couple of beds and a bafroom! She told me it was a MOTEL??? I don’t know why we didn’t have Sage wif us, but momma said Sage doesn’t appreciate adventure wike me does.

Momma fixeded me my dinners and some waters and even gave me a “Better Than Ears” tweat for being so good. I even had to wide on that cwazy ewebator fing two more times, cuz momma fought she weft a bag in the car wif her cwothes in it..but she didn’t. Actually, poor momma had weft all her stuffs at home and just remembered her puter and all my stuffs. I am supwised she didn’t cwy…but she said she didn’t have time and it wouldn’t help this anyway. Waiter, she had her wecture then her meeting on the puter and finawy we went to bed to sweep.

This morning we got up and got weady to weave. She got all our stuffs, and said she wouldn’t make me go in the ewebator no more, that we could go down the stairs. I told her she weally habded wost it, dat it was too earwy in the morning to be doin’ all that stwenuous exercise. ‘Sides I is a big gurl and am not ‘fwaid of no siwwy ewebator! Anyway, she bwought me back home to my brofur Sage, who I fink frew a kitty party wast night! She said to don’t wowwy cuz evewyfing would be back to normal by the time she got home fwom work today.

What she fink I gonna wowwy ‘bout…I wuv these cwazy adventures my momma takes me on!

My Twip to Cades Cove

It seems wike forever since momma has wet me wite in my diawy! I fink she has been busy finishing up somefing wif a weally hard cwass. She just started two new ones, so I fought I should huwwy and wite somefing before she gets busy again!

It sure was ‘fusing on wast Wednesday night when I didn’t get to go to my skool! But momma took me on a couple of weally good walks on diffewent days so I was ok! I met some weally nice doggies in our neighborhood! Then, one day, momma and me wan into an old fwiend of hers fwom when she was in skool. This fwiend invited us to go to a pwace in the countwy on Sat’day. My momma doesn’t wike this pwace at all…but since I was invited and she fought I would wike it, she said ok.

So on Sat’day, after momma’s skool or cwass or meeting fing where she goes to wose stuffs, we went on this twip. It is kinda far…but it was fun cuz I gots to set on mommas wap the whole way and she wasn’t dwiving so I could wook and wook and wook and it not bofer her! When we got to the pwace in the countwy, we wolled down the windows and you hafta dwive weeeeeeeel swow cuz evewyone is wooking for animals and stuffs. But I WUVED it! I got to stick my head out the window and smell all the new smells! And I even saw a fing….momma said it was a deer…standing WIGHT THERE! And I wooked at her for a minute, then I went “WOOOOF” and she wooked at me and went on eating!! She was pwetty! Then there is a pwace where you can get out and walk…so we did and I mets wots of peoples that wuved me there. One famiwy even wanted to get my pitcher!!! Then a daschund doggy got all tore up cuz I am cuter than him I guess, and he barkeded at me…but I didn’t pay him no ‘ttention cuz I am secure in my schnauzerdom!

Momma said she didn’t hate the pwace we went near as much wif me there, cuz I was so good and so happy! I was so tired though, I totawy passed out on the way home even though I twied and twied not to! But mommas wap is sooooooo comfortable that I couldn’t help it!

Gwaduation Night

Well, the big day finawy came! I was so nervous, I didn't even eat all day! Momma came home fwom work and fixed my bag, this time she packed the camewa too! Of course we got there early, and momma walked me WAYYYYYYYYYYY over to the other side of the shopping pwace...it a BIG awea. We waited outside cuz I get too upset finking I am missing cwass wif that new cwass going on. All the other doggies came then...Bo, Marley and Ella. We pwayed some wif each other...peoples passing by didn't know what to fink of us doggies all out on the sidewalk having such a fun time! (If our teacher had seed us we might have all fwunked gwaduation!!)

When we finawy got to go to our cwass...our teacher, Miss Shaunna, told us about our final test! First thing and most importantwy...we had to have FUN! (YAY...I am GOOD at that!) Then we had to go to stations frewout the store and compwete tasks. We had to "Sit & Stay" for 30 seconds, "Down & Stay" for 30 seconds, 5 puppy pushups, "Leave It" as we walk frew the kitty aisles, "Come" and "Sit" when called, do a trick for a person, and pwactice good manners while meeting 2 peoples in the store...all while using good loose leash walking skills. We all did so good and we all got our dipwomas!!! Momma got some pitchurs too, but she was too tired to put them on puter wast night...and I bet she forgot the cord fingy so she won't be able to do it at work today eiver...so maybe this night she will get up some pitchurs of my gwaduation!!!

All the mommies and daddies swapped e-mail addwesses, so maybe we won't all wose contact. We maybe can have a pway date sometime...that would be so fun!! I know I am wittler than them on the outside, but I got so much spunk I can hang wif those pups! Oh...and Bo's mom, she bwought us all a gwaduation pwesent of some homemade peanutbutter doggy cookies and our teacher gave us each a vegetarian pig ear fingy. We all wayed down and ate them up! YUMMY!!!! It was the biggest night of my whole puppy wife, and I may have to sweep for two or fwee days to wecover fwom the 'citement!

Ohhhh the Twickewy!

Well, tomowwow is my big day! I finawwy gwaduate fwom puppy school! I fought this would be a happy occasion...one for cewebwation and maybe a new toy or fancy tweat.

Momma came home today, and we went on a walk over to our garbage awea...TWICE!! She wet me sniff and stuff some too!! It all sounds gweat, wight? WONG!!!!!!!!! She was twying to twick me. My vewy own momma who is 'posed to wuv me was just twying to make me tired so she could dwag out those scissor fings. That's wight...when we got back home, she got down wif me and even twied some peanut butter...but I am too good to be fooled by such fings. She did manage to twim me in a couple of spots that were buggin her most. Just when I fought fings had hit wock bottom...she did it again...she TWICKED me! Next fing I know, I am getting a BAF! It was about half over before I weawized what was going on....but I made sure that momma got almost as good a baf as me!

All that twickewy, I felt wike I should show her...so when I finawwy got out of that bafroom....next fing momma knowed she found where I went frow up! You should have seed her face..she felt BAD....then I felt bad. So, to twy to make it up to her, I fought it might be ok just to huwwy up and eat it and maybe she would fink she 'magined it...but it was too wate and she wouldn't wet me. She was 'fraid I might be sick...but I was just fine. I did feel weally weally bad for twying to make her feel bad though...and have spent the west of the evening giving momma extwa wuv and cuddling wif her.

I guess she just wanted me to be pwetty and smell good for my gwaduation and pitchurs....I can't bwame her for that!

No Gwoomer For Meeeee!

It happened this very morning! Momma called where my school is and cancelled my gwooming appointment!! At first I was wooking at the phone in disbewief...but then I heard the sweet, sweet words! The bad news is that I didn't get to go on the woad twip wif momma...but that is OK!

She had her meeting or school or cwass or sumfing she still had to go to in the big city...you know, the one where you don't get tweats? I just don't know WHY she goes there! Anyway...she says she went there and she wost free somefing more pounds...for a total of eight pounds....and she isn't mad at all!!I can't bewieve she went there...didnt get tweats...wost somefing 2 weeks in a wow and isn't even MAD! Not onwy is she not mad...she seems HAPPY. My momma cwazy sometimes but I wuv her...cuz someone has to!

All this is pwetty good news...but she did dwag out a funny wooking pair of scissors and comb...I have a feewing this is where my part of "being a good girl and we won't do the gwoomer just yet" is gonna come into pway...

Puppy Class #7....and stuff

Once again momma came home and got my stuffs weady and we went into the big city for my puppy cwass. We got there early of course, so we wandered awound the store for a while. My teacher, Miss Shauna, had a new puppy cwass start wast week and it was going on while we were there. I was soooooooooo 'fwaid I was missing somefing cuz I could hear her doing the teaching. I was a nervous weck that momma was making me miss cwass. Then I saw my pal Bo outside, and knew it was ok. All us week 7 pups got there and were hanging out waiting on the other cwass to finish...and you know what?? My golden wetweiver fwiend, Ella....her momma made everyone (EVEN ME!) a pwetty bandana for our necks! Mine is sweet hot pink wif a bow and bones and my name (Sophie)!!!! It is so pwetty and I wet momma put it on me and I wore it all frew cwass. We each had to get up and do a couple of commands and I did pwetty good considering all the action going on in dat pwace! Next week is gwaduation and the teacher said to be sure to bwing cameras in case we want a picture of the other doggies...and you know I do. We are going to miss everyone so much...all our cwass wuvs each other. Marley's dads are so gweat..I don't get any at home dad time, cuz momma don't have no boy peeples wound. (She says we's better off for wight now that way anyway, so I guess I will twust her on dat.)

When we weft cwass wast night, it was waining...and momma was wunning wif me and it was FUN...and den momma...she wost her shoe in a wiver of wain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOLL!!!!!!! We had to stand in the wain while she chased her shoe! It was so funny. THEN...when we got homeded we came in and said hewwo to my brofur, Sage the kitty. Then momma fix my dinner and got on her puter to do some homeworks. She was dare a wong wong time...and then wookded outside and there was my brofur, SAGE.....OUTSIDE! He was wooking in making "meowy" moufs at my momma!! He was wike...HEY YOU, WET ME IN!!!! Momma was wike, how did you get out there?!?!?!? BOL! BOL! He was a good boy, though...cuz he stayeded wight there twying to get momma's attention! Momma felt so bad...but it was all ok. I am gwad we got Sage back, cuz I would be wost wifout my brofur to pway and nap wif all day while momma's at work!

One more piece of weally good news. Momma came wight out and admitted that she had me a 'ppointment on Saturday wif the gwoomers. But since she finks I am awfully cute wight now, and she doesn't want me to have that "just got my hair cut" look in my skool pitchurs....so she said if I be a good girl and just wet her twim my whiskers and eyebwows a wittle, that she will put off the gwoomers for a couple of weeks!! I WUV MY MOMMA!!!! I am gonna twy my bestest to be good so she won't take me to dat pwace! I will wet you know how that goes...sometime I twy to be good and it no works! BOL!

Momma's up to Somefing!

This weekend momma left home pwetty early on Saturday morning..she has her skool or cwass or meeting or somefing in the big city. When she finally got home, she told me she found out at her fing she went to, she had wost 4.4 pounds...and she was happy bout it. Normally when momma woses stuff, she is mad...but her was happy 'bout this. I asked her if she got tweets this time at her skool and she had to wemind me that there are no tweets at her skool. (Again, I wonder what fun would that be???) Well...she may not have had any tweets of her own...but she had found out about a doggy bakery in the big city and she went all the way there for me after her meeting! She bwought me home a wittle bone cookie wif yougurt and spwinkles and a wittle peanut butter ball cookie!!! OMD they was sooooooo yummy!! She said the peanut butter one was called "peanut-butter pup"...just wike my furiend Reece!!! I wonder if he knows he is famous and has a cookie named after him?????

Momma tells me today that next Saturday when she goes into the big city for her cwass or skool or meeting fing that I get to wif her! I was hoping that I was going to get to go meet all the humans at her skool...but she said I was going to get to go where my skool is....but not for cwass. I have a vewy, vewy, vewy bad feewing that this is going to be bad news for me. She thinks I don't wemember...but I do....they have a gwooming pwace there in the vewy fwont. And she has been making faces at my whiskers....maybe I can hide on Saturday morning wike Zoe says!!
