It's been awhile...

so it's been pretty long since I last posted. Nothing exciting has really been happening, except last week I spent at Mom's boyfriend's house, which was really fun. I totally made myself at home. Mom thought I might get homesick but I was fine. They even have a dog door there for their doggy Ruby, but she was gone that week. Mom brought my blanket and a couple toys, some treats and my own food. Mom worried a little cause I wasn't eating as well as I normally do, but she figured out it was because I didn't like where the food bowl was. I am a picky guy! I had lots of fun, but I was glad to get back home to my kitties and the rest of my family.

Grrrr, mom....

I am so frustrated! My mom works at this wierd thing called a "renaissance faire", and she's gonna be gone every weekend for six weekends (starting last weekend)! I hate it when shes gone for one night, let alone two! I know she feels bad leaving me, and would bring me with her if she could, but she really likes this place I guess. So I'm stuck all weekend with Gammie, and sleeping alone in my bed. *sigh*. All I know is she better make up for it with lots of attention and walks each week!

Pearly Whites!

Yesterday, my mommy took me to the vet to get my teeth cleaned. She noticed they were really bad, I had a black line along my gums in the back and tartar (naughty mommy for not brushing my teeth, even though she has stuff to do it with!), and she made an appointment immediately. She was a little concerned about me being put under anesthesia, but I was ok. When they came to take me back into the room, I did NOT want to go, and I pulled back toward my mom, so she got up and walked with us as far as she could go, and from there I did OK.
I was soooooooo excited when she came to pick me up! I just wanted to go home. I was really loopy from the anesthesia, mom could tell I didn't feel quite right because I kept whining on the way home and even once I got home. I ate my dinner right away (I was soooo hungry! I hadn't been able to eat since 9pm the night before), which made mom happy.
Anyway, the vet told mom that I had gingivitis, so she's gonna start brushing my teeth a couple times a week, and I'm on antibiotics for a week. The vet also said I was so well behaved (as always), aaaaand Mom also bought me these yummy chewy treats that have enzymes that help plaque not form into tartar, so I'm a happy boy! Yay for clean teeth!

Swimming!!!!

My mommy took me to my favorite park today, Hidden Lakes, and I had so much fun in the water! I'm not allowed off the leash there, but I have the long 30 foot retractable one so I can go out pretty far in the water. It was pretty flippin' hot today, so it was realllly nice and refreshing. About a week ago I went with my mommy and her boy-person and my friend Ruby, which was also really fun. My mom thinks its funny how much I like to swim but how much I dislike baths... I don't think she'll ever understand. It's a dog thing! And of course she had to give me a bath afterwards 'cause I was stinky from the water, but that's ok (I guess), it was worth the fun!

I am SOOOO spoiled!!!

Oh my mommy spoils me so much! Now she goes to this place she calls "work" all the time, and suddenly I have new toys, a pretty new black leather collar, that I might say nicely compliments my stripes, and treats! She tells me she is working on getting my my own bed (as if "her" bed isn't already mine anyway... but I'm still excited!), and other fun stuff! I am the most spoilt little brat anyone could ever know! But I'm a sweet, cute brat, so I can get away with it =P

Jerks at the Dog Park

Well today was really nice out, and I haven't been out for awhile, so my mom decided she should take me to the dog park to get some energy out (wow I needed that!). It's really hard for me not to hump other doggies, because I get so excited and I know my mom gets mad at me, but at the dog park it's like she doesn't even exist, I don't even hear her. So I'm humping this one dog, a golden retriever, and some jerk man sitting in the chair in front of me stands up and kicks me, and says 'Get off!'. Well, my mom wasn't havin' any of that. She said, very calmly yet VERY sternly, 'Do NOT kick my dog.' I don't think he was expecting much out of her, as she is young and a female, but he said to her, 'Well if he can't behave then he needs to leave!' My mom wanted to say, 'No, if you you can't behave then YOU need to leave', but she thought better of it. She said, 'you know what sir, I was on my way over and I was taking care of it-' and her cut her off and said, 'I digress', as he sat down, and my mom just said, 'Thank you', but not in a very nice tone of voice. This man was at least in his 40's, and my mom's 17... I think she made him look like an idiot. Please don't kick dogs, it's not very nice! At all!

I Was a Bad Doggy....

well, yesterday I got into the garbage, which is bad in the first place. But I just couldn't resist. So my mommy wasn't very happy about that. What she was REALLY mad about though, was that it was a chicken bone. She yelled at me, "do you WANT to die????" I kinda didn't get it. Then she told me that chicken bones splinter and if they do that in my throat then they can get lodged in there and I could suffocate or something. That's scary, it's gonna give me nightmares. It drives my mom crazy when I dream cuz I kick my legs, and I always end up kicking her while shes trying to sleep. Oh well, what can ya do? Give em lots of kisses and look at them with your big puppy eyes! that's what!!! WOOF!

Whatta goooood day!

Well my mommy gave me a bath yesterday, so even though I hate taking them, I know it makes me all shiny and pretty, and smell nice. I always get this little extra bounce in my step for a couple days after I get a bath. Anyway, today my mommy took me to Hidden Lakes park, and I've been there before, but she only walked me around the track. Today, she took me down on the little narrow paths and stuff that go around the lakes in the middle of all the trees and stuff, and it's all hilly. It was so neat! It was the first time I've ever been down there, and I loved it! Soooo many smells and little sounds. My senses were on high tune, I felt so invigorated! I was also REALLY fascinated with the water. That's the first time I've seen that much water in one place! In a couple spots on the path where it actually went to the edge of it, I got curious and stepped in a bit, but it was REALLY cold. When we got home my mom gave me lots of love and some food and water, and I was very happy. And now, I'm gonna go snuggle with her in our nice warm bed! Gnight, woof! :)

Well, I got in a fight today...

My mom took me to the dog park like she said she was gonna, but it was still technically closed cuz of the rain and it being soggy. A couple other people were inside though so she brought me in anyway. There were only two other doggies there, both of them either part or full amstaff/pitbull like me! I had fun running with them for a couple minutes... but then HE showed up. This big huge dog, who my mommy says looks like some kind of pitbull-mastiff mix or something... he was maybe an inch or two taller than me, and 90 pounds!!!! he outweighed me 35 pounds! and he still had his male reproductive organs in tact, and I got jealous. I couldn't let him go prancing around thinking he was better than me just because his person didn't get him neutered, so I started humping to show my dominance. My mom was very unhappy, and made me stop a couple of times, and the big dog warned me... but I pushed the boundaries I guess, and one second he was growling and then he was all up in my face! like what!!! It was CRAZY! My mom and his dad started yelling to stop and all this other jibber jabber I didn't really catch (I was concentrating too hard on defending my 35 pound smaller frame), and finally his dad got him off of me and my mom grabbed me and yelled at me quite thouroughly and viciously (shes scary when shes mad). She told me we were going home, and that bully was looking at me like, you wanna try me again? I didn't.... That was the first real fight I've been into my entire life! It's not my fault I didn't know what to do. He put a couple good sized holes in my ear, one near the base on the top and one near the base at the bottom, and theres a scrape on the inner part. My mommy cleaned it very nicely with hydrogen peroxide when we got home and snuggled with me on the bed, which made me feel a lot better. She forgave me, but she feels kind of stupid because she should have seen it coming and left then, so she says. Guess she'll have to learn from her mistake, and maybe now I'll remember to stop humping dogs.... at least big un-neutered boy dogs.

I'm Gettin' Antsy....

I haven't been to the dog park since it's been raining (a couple weeks), and haven't been for a walk either. I am about to bolt out the door as soon as I can catch someone offguard, and my mommy knows it, she keeps yelling at me every time I go near it. But its not MY fault she hasn't taken me to the dog park! I have so much energy, and I'm so bored! Last time I got out it was dark and raining, and it took my mom almost an hour to find and catch me. She was pretty angry.... and I don't like to make her angry but I just NEED to run! She had a doctors appointment today, and told me she would take me if she got back early enough, but she didn't... so I'm hoping we get to go tomorrow. Otherwise, I'm gonna have to take me a little adventure again.
