My Day

I got to spend the whole day at home with Dad, Just me and him. Mom took the other three dogs to the stable. I've been there before and it is great fun, but today I stayed home with Daddy. He worked all night and was very tired so we stayed in the bed all day. I LOVE my daddy. Mom says I am the best dog to take out to the stable because I always come when called and don't wander off, but it was initiation day for Jillian and Woody. She took Zack because he thinks he is a cow dog. How come everyone but me is so tired?

Dad and Mom are Back!

Wow! Dad went away and Mom went away and took the two big dogs with them. I sure did miss them. We had a friend who came over to make sure we were ok and played with us so we weren't lonely but I sure hate it when any part of my family is gone.

Mom must have been feeling guilty for leaving us and taking the bigs because she brought back the biggest bag of cookies we've ever had. Jillian said she won them in a raffle and wanted to share her good fortune. We also each got a beautiful new collar. Mine has gold and green woven through it. It is the shiniest, fanciest collar I've ever had. I sure hope none of the guys pick on me for being pretty. Dad really likes it when I dress with football shirts and bandanas, but I'll humor mom and dress up once in a while.

Well, I'd better go. I want make up for lost time with mom and dad.

Dog Park

We went to our first real dog park today. Boy was it fun. Usually we find a school fenced in where we are the only ones there. This time there were a bunch of dogs. We played and ran like a pack of wolves.

Woody found a ball (I think he stole it) and we got to play with itf or a long time (after Mom made us ask permission and apologize for taking it).

Jillian sure impressed everyone with her speed (show off!). Of course, I was kinda proud of her too. She's kinda grown on me.

I can't wait to go there again!

Me Home Again!?

Mom took Zack on another trip! I got to go with her last time she went to the mountains to hike and had a blast. She said something about the motel not allowing more than one dog so I couldn't go this time. The guy next door to Grandma likes to snack on smaller dogs so she wouldn't leave me there. I think I could take him though. Oh well, I got to stay home with Daddy and he spoiled me rotten(er).

Zack went to a dog bakery and brought us treats. We had carob chip bones, peanut butter dipped bones and pizzas. YUMMY! He said he picked them out with his very own nose. He said they had cupcakes and cookies with frosting on them too, but they had to be refrigerated and the ride home was to far to keep them. He said he had a great time and next time he'll try to sneak me in his suitcase. I'm a very good traveler.

Ouch!

It's been a while since I wrote. I haven't been feeling well lately. My daddy was VERY worried about me. I seem to have hurt my back. Mom and dad aren't exactly sure because I couldn't tell them but they guess that I was either playing with or got underneath Jillian (Big,clumsy greyound) and she landed on my back. She doesn't always pay attention to who's under her when she jumps up and down in excitement. Well, anyway, my back was hurt so much that it was all hunched up and I could hardly move. Daddy rushed me to the vet and they took x-rays and gave me a shot (morophine!). I had to be kept separate from everyone else and given rest to get myself back in line again. Talk about getting spoiled! I slept on the bed all day, got carried up and down the stairs, taken in the car, ate treats (mom swears it was pain medicine) and just plain pampered. I'd fake it for more of that attention, but I wouldn't want anyone to get into trouble for hurting me.

Now I just want to play but mom won't let me yet. She even hid all of the toys so I wouldn't be tempted to chase Woody around with one. I an such a spoild child!

Pictures

Mom took us to take pictures today. It was pretty fun watching her try to get Woody to sit still. It took some doing and lots of treats, but we finally got the pictures.

We got to sit on Santa's lap and ask for stuff. I asked for lots of dog treats and not to have to share the king size bed with anyone but my mom and dad. I'm not sure that last one is going to happen, but it's worth a try.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope your days was as great as ours. Besides the wonderful gifts we had a terrific day with our family.

We really appreciate the toys and balls and especially those rawhides. The only problem I have is that I don't want to share. I want all of the bones. Well, Jillian won't give hers to me. She has been chewing all day and everytime I go near her to steal it she growls and bites at me. Mom says I can't be hogging all of the bones. That's how little dogs who think they're big get hurt. Humph! Wait till she finds the one I hid under the pile of laundry she is getting to wash.

Daddy Kidnapped By Mom

Mom kidnapped my daddy again. He said she is making him go run a half marathon. If she wants to run the marathon that's fine, but how come she is making him go half? Well, I hope they both run like the wind and my daddy comes home feeling fine.

Good Luck Guys!

Dog Vacation

I went on a dog vacation this weekend. Mom took us to a resort. Woody and I shared a Deluxe Suite with beds and a TV with Woody. Mom brought us our blankets and special toys. We played and played. I like that place. It sure is a lot more fun getting to make friends and play all day than staying home with the sitters. But I must say that I did miss Mom. I jumped for joy when I saw her come to get us. At home with Mom and Dad I get to sleep on the bed.

More Sharing!

I guess everyone knows about the scent to our house now. Strange dogs keep showing up wanting to live with us.

We still have Barney and now we have Otis. This is just way too many people to share my toys with.

Mom got mad at me because I took all of the bones and hoarded them and then I took Barney's stuffy right out of his mouth. When he tried to get it back I tackled him and took it. What a goober! He doesn't even realize he is 40 pounds bigger than me. He just rolls over and says uncle. HA!

I am still number one in Daddy's eyes. He took me all by myself to the store to go get a newspaper today. Ha Ha!
